Lindsey Graham Sends Trump a Message: We Need ‘a Reliable Partner in the White House’
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the senators behind the bipartisan immigration deal that the president rejected last week, said Tuesday that someone on the White House staff “gave him really bad advice” ahead of that heated meeting on Thursday. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and senior adviser Stephen Miller reportedly brought in other members of Congress to push back against the proposed deal. “I don’t think the president was well-served by his staff,” Graham told reporters Tuesday.

The Dolls Product Lines Series - “Helen Louise” Victorian Faceless "Lady" Graduation Art Doll Products
Helen Louise has been anxiously awaiting her college graduation. Much more so than when she graduated from high school. You see, she is the first person in her family to graduate from college. She worked very hard during her high school years and graduated as valedictorian of her class with a 4.0 GPA. She wanted to get into Harvard , to study law, and become a lawyer. She even had dreams of one day serving on the Supreme Court. Right now she is just thrilled she is graduating and that her whole family will be at the graduation ceremony, including her grandmother. So, she's wearing an outfit that she knows her grandmother would love.
Helen Louise is a free-standing cloth and wood doll. Her arms are wire-shaped and covered. She also has a painted wood head and covered round wood base. Her inner body is made from a dowel covered with fabric and eyelet lace. Her slip is lace trimmed and gathered at the waist. She has a fancy multi-tiered 2 color lace trimmed dress with long lace trimmed and gathered sleeve and a ruffled and laced collar. She has a lace shawl wrapped around her shoulders and a pearl necklace around her neck. Her beautiful brown curly hair is tied in a ponytail at the top of her head with floral accents.
Helen is especially proud that her grandmother will be attending her college graduation. She hopes she will be attending her law school graduation and will be the first person she calls when she passes the bar. Her grandmother always wanted to attend college, but that was not in the cards for her. However, it was for Helen Louise and her grandmother could not be prouder of her.

Hylics 2 is a total fever dream and I love it
Hylics was the "trippiest RPG" I had ever seen as of 2015, but now it's time for a new king: Hylics 2!
Creator Mason Lindroth shared a video preview for the sequel earlier this week, and I'm delighted knowing that some of you will have never seen or heard of Hylics before, making this your first exposure to the series' wondrously strange aesthetic. Take a seat, clear the gunk out of your eyes, and behold.
Hylics 2 has the same off-kilter vibe, but its art, animation, and especially the world look more refined. I'll also never stop being amazed by all of those extravagant hand movements during battles.
If any of this speaks to you, follow along on Lindroth's blog. You'll find treasures like this:
NIS America admits it has no idea when Ys VIII will launch on PC
It was big news last year when it was announced NIS America had snatched away the Ys franchise from Xseed Games and would publish Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA in the west. Unfortunately, things haven't gone exactly as expected. While the PS4 and Vita versions released without issue -- barring player complaints about a less than ideal translation -- it's the PC port that has been giving the publisher the most problems.
It was delayed in September, then October, and again in November. Just over a week ago we were told it would release at the end of the month. Now, NIS is admitting it has no idea when this game is going to come out.

A documentary about Mr. Rogers is coming just when we need it
I think it's fair for me to say that the world is filled with vitriol and animosity right now. Everywhere you look there are people angry about everything, politics, celebrities, social media, video games, a well made but somewhat flawed sequel to a science fiction classic, it's everywhere.
It may have always been like this but it wasn't as prevalent, I mostly blame the internet for giving anyone a platform to spread their hate to the far reaches of the globe but without it, I wouldn't be able to spread this news so I can't rightfully say it's inherently evil. Perhaps it is that we as a culture have become addicted to negativity. For years the mantra of "if it bleeds, it leads" has been the norm when it comes to news reporting and with the advent of the 24-hour news cycle it's become a constant storm of negativity, and death that we see each day.

Drugs, booze, and Dragon Ball Z: Friendships and fighting games
My friend Johnny and I had a complicated relationship based around loneliness, a mutual sense of humor, drugs, booze, and video games. I’m not sure if we were ever really friends. One time he tried to open up to me about his dad and their problems, and it just made me feel uncomfortable; I never felt like myself around Johnny. But we spent an insane amount of time together in my teenage years.
I didn’t really get along well with anyone, and even though I had no good reason to trust him either since he fucked me over just as much as anyone else, there was something that kept our shitty friendship going, and it didn’t end until much later when we eventually grew apart. I met my future wife, kept trying to move into the realm of adulthood while battling my crippling social anxiety and bitterness, and Johnny – well, he eventually got a job at a liquor store after being admitted for drug-induced schizophrenia.
But mostly we were pals, and we had fun times. A lot of those times centered on fighting games. We would smoke a metric ton of weed after school sometimes and play Soulcaliber II for hours. I practically mastered Mitsurugi. I made his skill set my personal sword-swinging tango. Johnny was an expert Nightmare player. We played others as well, but our Mitsurugi/Nightmare fights were for the ages. More often than not they would go on until the timer ran out because we learned so well how to counter and block one another.
