Resident Evil 6 on November 20th zommggggggg
pretty much any site that allows user uploaded content would be gone, so forums in general would get shut down. too risky to expose yourself to the kind of attacks that would be legally allowed under SOPA. I don’t know as much about PIPA so I can’t comment on it too much but it is probably as bad as SOPA is.
the real kicker is that both pieces of legislation would be totally ineffective at stopping what they are purportedly intended to stop (piracy). so these pieces of paper would pretty much destroy the internet, and there would be no positive benefit. Well… people outside the US could continue pretty much as normal, although they would lose a huge part of their American audience. Silver lining in that dark cloud = remove a huge portion of the english-speaking trolls from the internet.
I had an epiphany watching British coverage of the whole thing and reading US politican talking points like “I am a commited free marketer” and I realized that the US still has this residual of fear of communism that colors everything they do. They really aren’t that far past McCarthyism and the Red Scare and are just as mired in their insane paranoia of socialism as they have always been… what a fucked up country
Well what do you expect? The country has been selling fear at a high price since the 40’s. It’s fear towards that which is unregulated, not towards any political leaning or moral view. I really can’t blame them for being as indoctrinated as they are either, just it’s kind of sad.
so… will porn still be free??
all i need in life is porn and sf4… and maybe food & water.
There would be no youtube, no porn, no twitch.tv, no FGC streams no nothing.
The internet would be shit.
horrible. 2012 is indeed the end.
From my understanding you would have to buy porn Sang. Unless there is a website purely dedicated to provide those owned by non-American companies.
EDIT: It might actually be a good opportunity to say farewell to them.
A lot of sites were protesting against SOPA, and blacking out their websites to raise awareness and induce action from people. A lot of people in the FGC were disappointed that SRK did not take part in this protest as well. Nilcam from Dreamcancel.com twittered the following:
Thoughts?
Personally, I agree with his statements. Since SRK supposedely represents the FGC they sure sent out a negative message to the community by taking no action.
i’m pretty sure derryk is right, if this goes through there probably will be a massive uproar
Lamar smith. Look the dude up. he wrote SOPA.
- He’s sponsored by beer companies to spew propaganda about weed and to deny pro-marijuana legislation from even being considered
- He’s sponsored by the entertainment industry to write shit like SOPA
- He is a hypocrit who has pirated content on the FRONT PAGE of his website
He is a Villain of Today. A bad dude. A rich man… but really, a crooked Republican with a small penis.
The corporations feed him money to further their own agenda. You stop the corporations, you stop Lamar Smith. But until lobbyists are done away with the government in America is fueled by greed.
Chris Redfield + Leon Kennedy as the main characters. Sweet.
Then you realize the people who run SRK are inept when it comes to maintaining this website, they probably didn’t even know where to begin.
Leon is godlike, whenever i’m forced to name a character in a game i always name them Leon.
Full homo mr. kennedy. Full homo.
Oh FUCK YEAH SRK fucked up.
Is anyone really surprised? I bet you would ask them and you’d get an answer like
“The other FGCs are down! How are we supposed to go down as well when people NEED the daily video roundup!!?!”
I’m actually the most surprised by the fact that the site didn’t just go down, by, well, fucking up like usually.
These Cannon brothers and the SRK Illuminati are JUST like the crooked congressman.
They get supported by Capcom to fuel Capcom’s agenda… “BUY OUR GAMES”. Capcom, no surprises, supports SOPA… Although you can GUARANTEE that IF SOPA went through, Shoryuken wouldn’t be the site Capcom would use… they’d throw SRK under the bus in an instant and use Capcom unity for FGC hub.
Then, no Evo, and the SRK Illuminati are left thinking “WOW WE ARE DUMBASSES”
I love how this pretentious site has the gall to have an article like “Yeah, yeah, SOPA, What can we do about it?” As if like, “You guys are idiots, to please you we’ll write an article (That I didn’t read of course)”.
It’s a serious issue… but they’re invisible. Yes, they represent us poorly. Big surprise. They’re the imbeciles who just announced that people who are in California every week get major Evo points. It’s like Adam said they’re a good old boys club.
And, people who are in good old boys clubs, are usually Republicans. And Republicans are fucked.
The Keystone Pipeline was also shot-down; that’s kinda important to.
If I was running SRK, I would have just had one of those “scheduled maintenance” days and turned it into a SOPA protest.
well to be fair, after hearing the arguments from the nebraskans i dont blame them. the pipleline would basically run through an aquifier that supplies all of the irrigation for that entire state. while it’s unlikely that a pipeline would burst, forcing this pipeline through a place where the general populace by and large doesnt want it is not a good pr move. making them re-route it is the correct response. when it comes to the environment we need to take the time to do it right; instead of just forcing legislation through that benefits only one party, who would only lose money from a mishap. if something were to go wrong, it would be nebraskans who would be really truely fucked, and if they aren’t buying into it, you can’t ethically just shut them up and do it anyways, if they dont take your peace offering(money) then you need to find a different way to make them OK with the pipeline going through their state
icefilms.info links are no longer active because megaupload got pwned
my napalm tanks are just about full, about to calibrate my lazer sights
who’s with me. LETS TAKE THIS MOTHA FUCKA DAAOOOWNNNNN
also, the republicans pushed it through with a stipulation Obama would need to decide one way or another if the pipeline was happening in less than 60 days. they did that in early December iirc, and Obama said straight out before they did it “if you try to limit the time for my decision, it’s not happening.” so once again its the republicans using political bullshit to set up a situation in which Obama couldn’t help but look bad… although he initially didn’t want to make a decision until 2013, after the election, so he’s not entirely innocent here either
In current build of SFXT Vega has chains =O
EDIT: And his launcher is beautiful, it’s exactly what I thought it would be. When you do a long-range c. mp into c. fp and then do launcher, the launcher dashes forward into the hit. <3 sigh that’s just incredible.
Hopefully they hold on to it til final build.
Welcome to politics… the Democrats do the same thing when a Republican is in power. Pretty sure there are 0 innocent people involved in politics.
democrats… republicans…
doesn’t matter who’s in power.
