he is, if only he wasn't a filthy sniper main.

Not really as a kid but my teenage years were spent playing Enemy Territory (the first game I actually got into competitive), and later Silkroad Online (my first and last MMO)

I feel really nostalgic everytime I think about W: ET, it was just the perfect game, f2p, real class based fps, highly customizable, great movement, smooth aim mechanics.

that first song was soooo good, gave such a nice vibe to the movie.

do you accept dh frags? (I got a twitch skybox airshot)

anything past the 251 never happened and you can't convince me otherwise.

anyway, my favorite one is magmar, he's made of fuckin lava, how cool is that.

I would too if I lifted those weights

Everything should be fixed now, hope u guys all like the video, let me just thank Shounic for the wonderful work but also Sideshow for the voice over, and all the people on our slack (ffc, catman, luuunch, runaway, etc..) who provided wonderful feedback and laid it out it behind the scenes for this week. Thanks also to the amazing feedback in this thread, this series has an amazing potential and Im really excited to be working with shounic to provide more regular content in our channel for the tf2 community.

there was some miscommunication cuz I was offline yesterday so we will probably upload to our channel when shounic is up. The episode is amazing and it's everything I wanted it to be tho

The thread got derailed a bit but I think it's still a really interesting discussion with a lot of different points being made, discussing the cause of the problem is one of the best ways to understand it.

Ok, I really went deep on this one, I rarely speak up about this because its a touchy subject and usually people get all triggered and go full on PC warriors about this kind of stuff and it's not worth it to try and have a rational discussion but since you asked here it goes.

I guess you could say I was raised into a traditional christian family (particularly from my mothers side), frequented sunday school and everything, but early age like right after primary school I started growing out of it and understanding that really all it is is a way to cop out of all the bad things in life, the belief that there's this superior being that guides our lives for the better and at the end we get to live another life in paradise, it means nothing to me. I was very lucky my father was also very progressive and against the church and the influence it had in people, and that the rest of my family allowed me to grow out of it, but I can easily see how thousands of kids out there aren't this lucky and are taught from birth into this doctrine of what is right and wrong according to some 2000 year old scripture.

On the other hand, the thing I am most afraid is death, because for me all it represents is nothingness and ceasing to exist and for me that is far more scary than any other thing in the world, I really believe people use religion as a way to cop out and shelter themselves from this reality.

Religion used to be a bastion of knowledge and the goodness in the world, christian monks among others where some of the most important people to modern world, they saved thousands of ancient works and scriptures, nowadays all it represents to me is backwards beliefs, repression of knowledge/science, violence and greed.

There's even a very good example here in Portugal near my mother hometown in Fátima which is the most important catholic location in portugal and probably one of the biggest religious pilgrimage sites in the world, it's an entire city founded upon undocumented sightings of the virgin mary by some 12 year olds but the reality is that it's a business, it moves milions of dollars a year and the entire city revolves around monetizing church and people beliefs. Even some more progressive priests have come out against it recently.

I don't deny there's good things about religion, the charity work and the spread of general goodwill has surely saved a lot of lives and had a positive influence in millions of people, but it also preys on the weak of mind and is an easy way to take people to extremism. I think the bad outweighs the good and as long as there's religion there will never be peace. Specially when there are different religions who each believe there is a specific all knowing, all powerful man or being that is the answer to all things in life and only that answer can be the right one, I think if you follow the logic its easy to understand why this can lead to violence and extremism.

I wish there was no religion. Whats even more shocking to me is that probably by saying this I get ostracized by this new generation of pseudo liberal and progressive people which will rave and cheer about gay rights and at the same time defend the religions that consider those same actions a sin (in some cases punished by death). It makes 0 sense to me. And Im as progressive and liberal as one can be about these things, I simply can't put religion in the same bag.

We don't need religion to know what is morally right or wrong, we co-existed and thrived far before any religions were "invented". Specially in the age of information and science, when we are sending men to the moon and discovering new planets and galaxies and extra terrestrial life, it just seems to me so mind boggling that such beliefs are still held in such high regard and universally accepted.

I mostly agree with richard dawkins views on religions and here's a good video on some of the problems of religion as a whole.

If it wasn't for the time I would signup. But it's at midnight on a saturday here and unfortunately I wont be at home :(

I mean lets be real but isn't it exactly the same thing? Just in different eras? The crusades were basically the Holy War in name of Christianity with the aim of spreading that religion forcefully while supressing/eliminating opposing ideologies / infidels. Which is the exactly same basis of modern Jihad. Islam is just 1000 years late to Christianity timeline.

Honestly most religions are fuckin stupid and probably the single major source of violence in the world because they can as easily work for the good as they can corrupt and extremize the minds of the weak, a world without religion would be a better world.

This was orchestrated to inflict the maximum amount of damage in the worst possible time.

There really is no winning way out of this. Everyone loses. France loses more than a hundred of its citizens whose lifes were taken away in a revolting way, Fear invades the capital and the nation, which will leave long lasting consequences in internal and foreign policies. Hatred for muslins becomes more prevalent.
The current refugee situation in Europe might suffer heavily from this. Europeans everywhere are getting more and more fed up, and this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back

Might cause further military action against ISIS if it's confirmed to be true, which in the end will create hundreds or thousands more deaths and thus the cycle of hatred and violence continues.

Europe is currently in the middle of a complete shitfest. I have no words.

I have complete disgust for individuals who committed these awful atrocities and for any kind of beliefs that promote such vile actions.
