Maybe I've been lucky but I haven't really encountered people like that in the UK. It just amazes me that:Angelous Wang said:
a) The Sun don't try and up their game and that there are journalists that are content with putting out such low quality work
b) even though they regularly put out uninformed articles that people constanty call them out on and even though the paper and its readers have a shocking reputation that people don't just go elsewhere - it's not like there's better options out there both for catching up on the news and for sharing outdated bigoted views with like minded people (if that's what you're into).
Yeah, but it feels awesome, to be honest. Do you know how good it feels knowing that you'll never be itchy again? There's always that one spot on your arms or legs that you can't reach because of clothing or you're out in public and you can't just start scratching like crazy. I fuckin' hated that shit. Not to mention sweaty armpits. Gone! And I never have to worry about forgetting my sunglasses.Angelous Wang said:
He honestly thought he was doing Adam a favour (bring augmentation to everyone and all that), and to be fair I was fairly ambivalent to him for most of the game until...Angelous Wang said:
Meeting him in Panchaea his first words are "Adam! Oh, thank God! I've got wounded here, we'll have to move them first."
That sealed it.
The various emails and the fact he didn't want anything to do with the bad guys of Human Revolution helped as well.
But did you ask for it?Adam Jensen said:
OT: .....Wat? Seriously? I don't live in the UK so I am not exposed The Sun as the ones living in the UK.... But I do know that it isn't the most trusted source of news but this is just freaking stupid.
Also somebody should tip the Sun about Aperture science or Weyland-Yutani.
Thing is, you don't even need to reach that far outside of what real companies are doing.

God i hate the sun. The tabloid AND that blinding ball in the sky.
This...though im not fond of swearing on forums, is fucking hilarious! I hope the journalist responsible can be named and shamed for more laughter. perhaps this will convince more sun followers that they are revellers in poppycock

...Wow. That's just...I have no words.
Sucks that Sarif Industries doesn't exist though. Lord knows Detroit could use the industry.

Obligatory "I never asked for this... 'this' being a reputable source."
In any case, I'm looking forward the the scoop about Andrew Ryan and his amazing feet of nautical engineering.

News facts straight from google, top of the class students right there...
At least they aren't taking stuff from 4chan, yet.

I hope so too. And anyway, the typical Sun reader won't make it past the first word in the headline due to a syllable overload.Stabby Joe said:
Fox News, The Sun, and the Daily Mail are cynical infotainment for people lost in apocalyptic despair, or for hipsters whose purpose in life is pointlessly mocking such things.
As the world neglects to deal with global warming and the condition of the world worsens, we can expect more extreme versions of The Sun - just think of what media (if any) would have existed in the Mad Max universe, for example. Consider Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5O9x7aL7QE as a vision of the possible future of media in a corporate-dominated dying world.
Human consciousness has not caught up with the reality of the world - humans are living in the past (or in virtual worlds) instead of living in the actual present. The people most living in the present, the world's poor people, have no ability to be heard by the world's wealthy.

I want to read the whole article, not the excerpt from the photograph, because the whole article is about the integration of Science Fiction and Reality, the next one down is about tricorders and portable scanners. I think there some dishonest journalism going on and it probably not the Sun.
Whoa, that's awesome! You think FEMA's going to get in on this?

Yes, that was sarcasm. It's the Sun. Expecting in-depth reporting from them is like expecting of a crocodile that it suddenly goes vegan and begs forgiveness for its cruelty towards the remainder of the animal kingdom.

Naw, Daily Mail is fairly right wing, it does have a reputation for sensationalist headlines and general bigotry, racism, homophobia etc, however I'm going to say that having actually worked in a newspaper outlet, it doesn't really deserve it's reputation, at least compared to about half of the other papers on sale. Yes there was the whole Jan Moir nonsense, and of course the fact that everything gives you cancer and it's general boot-kissing of the Tory party.trty00 said:
