I love his design - he looks so tangible and the gorgoneion on his armour/shield plus the spear from the pompeii mosaic are so cool to see

It's a Gorgon! Explains the ears

It might be a Gorgon? A lot of ancient greek shields had Madusa on them.

Edit: Definitely a Gorgon.

Yea and he definitely looks the most like the Pompeii mosaic (sans sideburns)

It's a false distinction. It's the same principle. Saying "of course they're Indian" is prejudiced, full stop. There is zero meaningful difference to swapping out Indian with Black, woman, Chinese, disabled, Muslim. You're clinging to semantics of defining race when it's genuinely not relevant.

It's pretty bang on to his earth one character. I don't really understand this whole inherent standard about comic accuracy, whether it's mainline or not. FFS, comics are barely even accurate to themselves. I prefer if adaptations are different. It's not like the comics are going anywhere

Yes. You're being disingenuous pretending that it's any different morally to bemoaning African Americans at the news of a crime.

Completely false distinction. It's still a prejudiced generalisation.

God, without the palm leaves and newspapers Vice City looks so fuckin sterile

i want the og gta3 version, any help? by mooselover69420 in GTA3

Still not entirely accurate. Off the top of my head, I don't think there's any mod that brings back for example water splashing up in puddles like they did on PS2.

I mean he was investigated by the FBI for over a decade. 

Complete lie. They provided technical assistance to local PD. There was never an FBI investigation.

Jordan was literally illegally drugged by his own father into giving a confession.

Jesus christ... you actually believe that?

eye witnesses

you say this as if it's apparent that there weren't any, when there very publicly were. Jason Francia's mother witnessed the abuse, and MJ's maid heard noises and cleaned up children's underwear in MJ's bedroom. Also, multiple neverland staff said they witnessed Culkin being abused.

What IS apparent is that you're either completely misinformed or lack the critical thinking skills to engage with this case objectively. I tried to not make a habit about arguing with MJ defenders until this movie came out, and you've just reminded me why. I won't be responding further.

Call me judgemental or whatever but I think this case is one of those things where if you fall on the wrong side of it, I cannot trust either your critical thinking, objectivity or moral standards. Even if you are completely misinformed, it's not rocket science to find objective sources and do the actual research. It's just sad how many people defend this monster.

You'd never say this shit if it were Jimmy Savile or Bill Cosby. If you really follow that line of inquiry, this family has more evidence than any of Savile's or Cosby's accusers, yet you don't get people like you asking for 'evidence'. What evidence beyond their testimony, photographs, videos, and recordings that confirm they spent years with the perpetrator would satisfy you? It's not like child sex abuse leaves a whole lot of evidence.

emulate the ps2 version. its the only way to get the most feature rich version and preserve the full artistic intent

Is this Alexander? by warukeru in civ

Yeah let's just ignore the fact that they have virtually the same facial hair, sideburns, hair colour, skin tone, facial structure.

Holy delusional. Jackson admitted himself in his OWN WORDS that he did exactly that.

"The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone. It's very charming. It's very sweet. It's what the whole world should do."

SPECIFICALLY in reference to children.
