Ion shock

I’m not going to lie to you all, I’ve been in a state of shock all day. From the moment I woke up until the seconds I’m typing this. The American elections are over, and I genuinely feel sick to my stomach. It’s all just too much. I’d say something funny or witty about it, but I’m not sure I can. Instead, you can watch me and Matthew being silly on live national TV yesterday (4:43 and 31:20).

In news today: Metro 2033 sequel in the works for 2017, Vivendi edges closer to Ubisoft takeover and Mass Effect: Andromeda ditches class, changes gameplay and reworks morality.

In Other News: Fight on wings in SFV, Netflix to do something with Ubisoft IP maybe and XCOM 2 gets controller support.

Here’s the news we didn’t post today because we were too busy prepping our doomsday bunkers.

        Not a fan I assume? The only reason I love this dude is because I would probably moer him if the character was real and I got to meet him.

        He’s mocking a disabled person. I’m not joking.

      According to Forbes most powerful is still Putin, followed by Merkel.

        I think Putin is ecstatic that his orange bro won.

          I fail to see how a dead person can have any powerful influence.

            Your grammar is atrocious, How many times do you think I’ve died and come back to dispose of my previous self? 😛

        Well, Putin scares even the Russian mob, so yep. Well, I think he actually controls a lot of it.

        I think most Americans just mistrusted Clinton a little too much. She has too many skeletons, according to some American friends of mine, as well as the fact that Trump is more the guy on the streets’ man. I wouldn’t know, I think both of them are bad news. But hey, the upside, some wicked memes will surface.

          I expect Lord Emperor Trump will outlaw any memes relating to him.

          Well she received $1 billion to reach the White House, mainly from big corporates and billionaires.

          Like the Gupta’s have taught monies lent needs to be repaid in favours.

          Like Brexit the middle class, especially the blue collar middle class, were sick and tired of fitting the bill, not sharing in economic growth so went with the only crappy other choice the system provides them.

          In South Africa it will be like if there is an election and the only 2 names on the ballot is Jacob Zuma and Pieter Mulder who do you vote for?

          In the end is mountain from molehill, there is 2 more tiers of government that independently voted for that will block if the self tan lotion causes too much madness

            An example of Clinton’s being a bought politician is her support is the Keystone pipeline, being vocally against climate change but accepting donations from big oil and letting the project go ahead when she (and Obama) had the power.

            Interesting that where the pipeline is already built are in northern states that was Democrat blue since the 80’s and suddenly switched to Trump

            I think a lot of it had to do with “Better the devil you know”, because Trumps big mouth told everyone in no uncertain terms what he is about. Clinton was hiding too many things. Besides I think it was mostly a vote to get a Republican in office. People want more conservatism.

            He can only do so much. The real power lies in the Senate. People are overreacting, there is a reason why got the majority votes even though he is an asshole.
