    My mother's family is white Hispanic from Puerto Rico, with my mom being a nuyorican; I am constantly thankful I'm white Hispanic with an Anglo name (named after my father, whose family has been in the US since Jamestown). Its frankly amazing the racist and vile shit random people will say to you when they don't think you are a minority. Like, you barely know me, why are you talking about all the "wetbacks" stealing "our jobs" to me? It reminds me of that scene in The Jerk...

    I just can't imagine how much worse it is for minorities who look the part now that the racists have been emboldened by Trump's rhetoric.

    Same for me. I'm a bit surprised it doesn't have a larger share to be honest.

    I believe George Lucas has come out and pretty much said that was his vision for the prequels. Something about how they are suppose to rhyme with the original trilogy, and be sorta like the opposite direction of them.

    Thing is, while it sounds great in theory, what he gave us certainly did not live up to it. Though that more has to do with Lucas being a terrible director and screen writer when he is surrounded by yes men. Apparently IV was a hot mess till his wife at the time edited the hell out of it.

    It still harms. What are you using that money to do? Buy better gear to have an edge over other online players? Get ahead in leader boards? Even if it isn't as direct as an aimbot, it still shows at best poor sportsmanship on your behalf. Why do you get special rules in a multiplayer setting?

    I don't play GTA5 Online, so I'm just assuming that is what it is used for.

    Right now it basically is just Smash Bros. Really excited to see how it all turns out.

    I would have said Total War 3 Kingdoms, but with how generals are handled, no naval battles, and how CA has handled WH2 with their patch policy, I'm losing quite a bit of interest in it. I'll keep following it, but the spark isn't there right now.

    There is some leakage when it it turned up high, but not as much as I expect. My wife only tends to notice sitting in a desk right next to me wheb the volume is turned up to near max.

    They dont really fold up, but I dont exactly feel like they are huge. And honestly I find durability and portability to be at odds with one another; folding ear cups are just another weak point that can break. The simplicity of these are what really drew me to them.

    As for the difference between the 240 and 240 mk II, I dont know, other than the mk II looks more expensive.

    I'm not much of a sound guy, but I really love my AKG 240s. Bought them to replace a failing gaming headset for PC usage. Part of the reason why I chose them is because they have fewer moving and plastic parts than most other headphones I saw, which generally is where my headphones begin to fail. The other point where most headphones begin to fail is the cord, and these have a replacable cable. Only downside is the one that comes with it is sorta on the crummy side, and since it uses mini-xlr the cables aren't as cheap as 3.5mm to 3.5mm. I replaced it with -a coiled cable.
