I highly recommend buying the cab company as soon as possible. Los Santos is a huge place and free rides go a long way.

I'm not even going to bother with any races until I max out all of the driving stats.

Maybe four hours or so into Franklin's story? It's early game and it's related to a side event and not the main story, but I still felt like I should probably spoiler it.

The wiki says it's a variation of water healing that turns negative energy into positive energy.

Jesus Christ, I think I actually feel exhausted after that last episode. It never let up from beginning to end.

Can I just say I love Eska?

One of my oldest friends is transgender. He only came out to me recently but I kinda knew about it for years because he was really bad at hiding it. I just never said anything. He's a nice guy, if a bit awkward at times, and seeing that I already knew, it didn't really affect how we interact with each other. Unfortunately, every other transgender person I've met has been a fucking asshole.

Been one of those days.

PS3 here. I don't pay for Xbox Live gold anymore and there is no way this game is going to fit on one DVD anyway.

All I can think is "Stop it! You're going to wear out your hinge!"

To be fair, Gabe does seem better recently about starting shit with people, the transgender thing being an exception (although I have to admit I hate being called "a cis male," even if it's technically accurate). This renewed dickwolves thing seems to be based on a misunderstanding because he didn't explain himself very well at PAX. Now he has explained himself on the site proper, and everyone should just let the dickwolf thing die once and for all.

I'm not saying that rape isn't a problem, even in the US. We all remember Steubenville, I'm sure. However, rape culture is a blanket statement that was adopted to condemn America as a whole in the 1970s and should never be used in a serious discussion in this day and age. It oversimplifies the matter in a way that makes people not even care when they hear it because it's frequently been used by histrionic people who blow things out of proportion. If rape and people's response to it has become an issue somewhere, find a more articulate way to speak against it than by using bumper sticker slogans. The general public does not listen to or care about those. So yes, I'd still say rape culture as a phrase is meaningless at best and harmful at worst. The more obnoxious you are in spreading your message, the more quickly it'll be ignored. To get back on the subject of Penny Arcade, they actually DID receive well-written, thoughtful responses from some people that made Gabe reconsider his actions. If you actually take the time to put effort into the words you use, you can be a lot more persuasive (or at least respectable) than you would ever be by using arguments like "rape culture" or "socialism" or "gun grabber." But now I'm veering off into a much bigger issue.
