I prefer to say "Native Americans" because... well, Indians are from India, not America :-p My intent isn't to be politically correct, just to be geographically correct.
I recently read a poll that said most native Americans didn't mind being called Indians, and if I recall correctly, many preferred to be called "American Indians"... unfortunately I can't find this poll, so take that information lightly. It could have even been a dream :-p ... I know very little about the Redskins team name controversy (I avoid any news about that sport.) I'm sure no malice was intended, and it was probably a sign of respect that "Redskins" were such great fighters or something like that. Maybe we should ask Dances On Fire about it sometime, he might be able to give more insight :-)
Political correctness does get out of hand. I remember a comedian telling a story a few years ago about seeing the latest Star Wars movie, and saying that the black Jedi was really cool. His friend said back to him "Don't say that! He's an African-American Jedi!", even though there is no Africa or America in Star Wars :-p

moonshineshadow: You know, you should discourage me from buying stuff since I already have enough games and not go on ninja gifting *grumble*
*extra big thank you hug* Please everyone give some +1 to our lovely DD

I think I had a big fail moment thinking that the price would discourage gifting. Like I said, next time I'll handle it better :P

It's hot in here damnit!
Wotcher guise doin'?
Internet forum drama, it's entertaining, then becomes a bore that won't shut up.
Going to see Ant Man later today, they say it's quite a funny movie.

NoNewTaleToTell: Just throwing this out there since Minecraft was mentioned earlier. If you're interested in Minecraft but don't have it because of whatever reason, try out Minetest. Minetest is a free open source Minecraft clone. It looks and plays nearly identical to Minecraft and it has plenty of mods. A word of warning, you will need to download a enemy pack mod if you want enemies as the vanilla version of Mintest does not include monsters.
Curious, and the engine is done in C++? Should run just as well or even a bit faster than normal Minecraft with that.Post edited July 25, 2015 by j0ekerr

I'd deal with the white walkers themselves if it meant being rid of this awful heat.
Oh, you mean this one?
School Days in the bundle? Run for your lives men! Get to da boat!

ElTerprise: Well aside from having dinner in a restaurant not much. Originally i wanted to go the cinema with a friend of mine but i didn't work....
Kinda the same plans here. Although my friends haven't flaked out on me... yet. ddickinson: Is that thread still going strong? While I understand people being worried, these small DRM things could be the start of more DRM, so I understand their concern, I do think this has been blown out of all proportion. The game itself is DRM free, it is only some free bonus content that the developer gave. I think people are just so used to game publishers/developers/stores screwing them over that they get a bit worried when these kind of things happen, especially as GOG is one of the few places still DRM-Free.
Thank you. Hopefully things will start to improve, even if only slowly. I definitely don't think I will be able to get back to work anytime soon, which is really annoying for me. But at least my partner has taken next week off work, so I will have some lovely company.
I think the panic started when they learned that the cheat code was verified against the servers. People then assumed it was a form of "phone-home" control scheme and the usual suspects rose up in outrage.Thank you. Hopefully things will start to improve, even if only slowly.

Maybe, but it would not be fun for the other ninja gifters. I think you just want to keep all the fun for yourself. :-)
*big hug*
I am not surprised they don't mind, most people don't mean anything offensive by the term, it's like people who call people black or white, while it can be used in a racist tone, most mean nothing by it other than a way to identify people. Political correctness is going too far, and it's not even equal, it's often very one sided in favour of the minorities, whether that be gender, race, colour, sexuality, or religion. People these days just seem to enjoy all the drama. Not that things should not be defended or changed, but much of it is pointless and petty. So you Americans want your name in Star Wars as well? I think the black thing was all fake, you just wanted an excuse to have an (African-)American Jedi. Everyone knows Obi-Wan was the best Jedi, and Alec Guinness was English. :-p
You boys and your perverted Anime. You do all know there is porn on the internet, with real people? So there is no need for all this cartoon porn. :-)

I guess that is one reason, but since when has American used an alternative word when one they use is already taken :-)? Look at Football, rather than you use another name you just stole one from a well established sport and tried to remake the old one soccer. I am surprised you did not try to force India to chance it's name so you could still use the term Indians for Native Americans. :-) I recently read a poll that said most native Americans didn't mind being called Indians, and if I recall correctly, many preferred to be called "American Indians"... unfortunately I can't find this poll, so take that information lightly.

Sorry to hear that, but I hope you have a nice dinner at the restaurant. What kind of restaurant is it? You boys and your perverted Anime. You do all know there is porn on the internet, with real people? So there is no need for all this cartoon porn. :-)

But are all the games on there you really want, or have you kept them all hidden even from the GOGWiki? We will never know. :-) Take care, lovely Moonshine. I hope you have a lovely and relaxing day!
