"You certainly can't blame Obsidian that KOTOR II is unfinished if what Feargus Urquhart said is true." I can, and even Mr. U is man enough to admit it. He chose to go along with it. He put his organziation in that situation because he was lax contract wise. It's sad to see that Obsidian is doing the right thing and 'manning up' but their fanboys won't even allow them to do that. It's really sad.

"VI was supposed to have taken place in Wookie planet, **** him. " 'Supposed' to? He's the damn creator of the work... it's supposed to eb wherever he damn welll decides it to be. P.S. They should have gotten the actor named Jonathon Jackson to play Anakin Skywalker. He was up for the role, and it would been interesting tos ee what he could do.

"Hell, one of my COWORKERS owns one right now" Are you implying your CO WORKER is a mass murderer in waiting because he owns an assault rifle? If so, report him to the police.

Actually, the blame for Obsidian games is 100% on Obsidian. Whether that be a game I love like FO:NV or a game I loathe like AP. It is 100% Obsidian. They are the developer and every decision that is made on Obsidian's behalf is made by their CEO Mr. U and his fellow co owners. He even admits to this culpibility in said interview so whya re you trying to whitewash this? Why do you want to give Bethesda or Atari credit for the awesomeness that is NV and MOTB? That's disrespectful of Obsidian and their hard work.

"Rather than calling names and getting aggressive, I'd like to hear some constructive ideas about how we can avoid future tragedies. " For starters, target criminals and not law abiding citizens.

go for it! How quick before someone amkes a romance thread for it!?!

"The official verdict is that Breivik is not a psychopath- or at the least, not a statutorially insane psychopath- as he was found to be sane by the Norwegian court in his trial. So he, officially at least, was not mad when he committed his crimes." being legally insane and a layman's psychopath are two different things. "then you are basically saying that you don't have faith in society to keep law and order." By having a police force as well as an army you are absically saying you don't have faith in society to keep the peace on their own. See how your nonsense wotrks when twisted? In a perfect world, we wouldn't need laws outlawing murder because people wouldn't commit murder. But, people do, so we have alws. In a perfect world, we could 100% trust the law and the gov't but history and even current times has proven that isn't always the case. How many times have we heard about a police offer or gov't official abusing their power? Sorry, dude, you seem to eb the type who thinks it is okay for the gov't to have 100% control of anything. Gov't already has a lot of power. It don't need more. Quite frankly, this tragedy likely could have been avoided using current laws. Banning more types of guns and making it harder for law abiding citizens to own guns won't stop it from happening. Just ask us Kanadians about how are avrious gun bans have perfectly protected us from pyschopaths. It doesn't. EVAR.

That's actually a fantastic article. Good stuff.

"You keep coming back to that argument. The only way forward is with negotiations. (unless you find genocide an acceptable alternative) Hamas has it in it's charter, when it was started up. So they'll have to come down from that. Not talking to them isn't going to make that happen. It's just such a perfect excuse to vilify the other side and use it as an excuse for measures that don't harm Hamas but all of Palestine. " Because, you can't negoiate with someone whow ants tod estroy you. before any true peace talks can be had, Hamas has to seriously and mkenaingful step down from one of their key components of their faith. There is no truce. there is only Hamas biding its time while it builds more rockets for the enxt round of attacks. At least with the PA there is an actual real chance of negotiating soemthing meaningful but as long as Hamas has power, influence, and the support of Palestinians to wipe Isreal of the map, it will always be a losing cause. Rosteres' link is disgusting.

"Lol, Mr. Breivik is not psychopath. Most of these mass murderers are not psychopaths. Unfair society creates them again and again. Society not solving causes produces this ( oppression, exploitation, social alienation etc). It's easy to labeled everyone who discredits society as "Psychopath"." Are you really defending that piece of crap? Wow. "Breivik is typical victim of "Education system", oppressed gamma-male. Some sort of revenge to society." Typical? If he was typical ie. the normal stuff like this would happen more often. Instead, this is an extremely rare event. He's anything but typical.

"Parenting is a major issue in today's society. " No more than past society. Afterall, it's the past society's mothers and fathers who were pro racism and other nasty things. Thankfully, modern society tends to disapprove of that garbage.

Good. That person is a freak.

Viudeo is stupid. I shut it off within seconds of it trying to rpetend that ME was why BIO became so popular. Seriously, STFU, if you don't know what you are talking about.

Really need a thumbs down option for NKKK's overreaction.

"Our culture has become much more corrupted since then." L0L But, no.

"The US embraces the idea of justified killing (you could just see the jubilation when Bin Laden was killed) and just wars - and the old eye for an eye principle.Every country in the world could be considered guilty of this at some point or another, but with the US its systemic." I agree. And, I blame Britain for that. The US had to fight tooth and nail for their independence. That is now ingrained in the US where they feel if they need to fight for a cause, violence is the way to go. britain tauight them that. Comapre that to my country where our 'freedom' was handed to us basically on a silver platter. That's the biggest difference between the US and Kanada. And, it's 100% because of Britain.

"If I am a proponent of employing peaceful means, that just means I'm a modern, intelligent, civilized, decent person." I'm all for peace but both sides need to be open for peace and Hamas is not open for peace. You cannot negoiate with a side who entire goal is built on destroying the other side. As long as that is part of Hamas' 'manfiesto' they and their supporters (that includes you) cna't be taken seriously. By supporting Hamas you cna't pretend to be pro peace.

All that 'Isreal is evil' yet you totally ignore the fact that Hamas, a Palestinian gov't has vowed and it is written in their own official code to 'wipe Isreal' off the map'... How the ehck is Isrealm shuppsoed to react to that? As for the PA.. Yeah, they are better than Hamas. Still, keep defending Hamas and their supporters. Youn know, Hamas the Bringer of Peace. Or, how I like to refer tot hem as Hamas - Murderers of Palestinians.

"ar. Every year you kill 4 times as many of your own than that "biggest terrorist attack in history" did. You guys kill your own children and the right wing nuts will still say you need more guns to stop this.." Who is this 'you' you speak of? I'm not Amerikan. Also, depsite tragedies like this, crime rates have gone down in the US. It has gone down at a faster rate than my own country has. Gun control is not the issue. The issue is that in a country the size of Amerka there is bound to be a a few pyshcos. People point out China.. but the pyshcos there are often the ones in power. A person is responsible for mjurdeirng those people today. Not a gun. P.S. Sorry if I got the country wrong. You Euros all look alike espicially with the whoel ' strict gun laws will styop evil people from doiing evil things' nonsense.. L0LZ People have been murdering people en masse will before the first gun existed, and even if every single gun was destroyed the mass murdering will continue.

Soldiers invovled should be punished. That said, funny how this gets brought up ion this thread but Hama's continued vow to destory Isreal is completely ignored yet people are SHOCKED that isreal doens't want to negoiate with them. L0LZ

Gun control wouldn't stop this. Doesn't Sweden have tough gun control? The issue here are sick individuals who lack morals. Gun control does one thing - it stops law abiding citizens from owning guns. It doesn't stop criminals from owning guns. Do you really think gun control wouldf stop this obvious mad man from finding away to find weapons and do this sick act? I doubt it. Anyone evil enough to commit mass murder at this level isn't gonna let some silly gun law stop them from getting guns.. Honestly, as much as it is to think there something that can be done about this, I don't thinkl there really is - outside of people keeping aware on people in their lvies, and if they seem eally off say or do soemthing about it before it gets to that point. I bet there were plenty of warning signs about that guy that those around him ignored. I certainly don't want guns in the hands of the gov't soley. That's scary. And, this comes someone whose only experience with guns is pretty much non existent.

OMG! Out of all the BIO characters - both good and bad - you had to pick 1 of the three worst they ever created? *puke*

"I'm sure this is obvious, but they clearly talk about the "open-world" wilderness areas BG2 (happily) lacks. " Then why mention storyline? BG's storyline is more linear than BG2's. That's a fact jack.

"While it fits the style of gameplay in BG2 (sort of a more linear storyline), it's a kind of cool discovery in terms of giving us options for new content." Except BG1 has a much more linear storyline.

How was it dumb? I'd betray you too. You aren't worthy being loyal to. Sorry.
