  1. Following from other comments, without wanting t obe too prescriptive, I'd suggest an innovative setting. Possibly something ostensibly shiny-shiny. But with a flawed protagonist. A screwup with obvious weaknesses, sometimes en-nobled by better intensions or scruples. Surrounded by hordes of staggeringly well-crafted characters. Criminal investigation would be cool. But it's a tricky one to do well. i.e. make it so you can draw the wrong conclusions and follow dead ends and get the wrong fellah sent to the dragon chair. The dragon chair is like an electric chair except it's more flamey, and it's got wheels.
  2. Kickstarter's a damn good idea, if you ask me. Speaking which, whatever happened to that film about the moon nazis?
  3. Maybe they just like the band Kiss?
  4. Having thought about it more I think perhaps the weirdest thing is why a marine would imitate any other military outfit. I thought the POINT of being a jarhead was refusing to kowtow to anyone. Let alone a bunch of ubermensch wannabes who got soundly thrashed.
  5. Mexico reckon they've lost 40k to just their bit of the war on drugs. It's pointless debating the figures with Junai because he believes a New World Order runs everything, hence any number is going to be greeted with joyous relish. 50, 500, 500 million makes hardly any difference.

    probably a bigger brain. Harder to occupy.
  7. That's old news. Amd quite honestly while I can see it's a publicity own goal, if I'd just shot a bunch of ****ers whose stated intention is to enslave a nation and systematically rape its intellectual and social life then I'd probably vomit on them. But posing with SS flashes?
  8. Junai, I honestly have no idea what the hell you are trying to say. ~~ Back on topic, did anyone else not know there was a candidate called Fred Karger in the race? Right wing paper the Daily Telegraph actually has a piece decrying his absence from offical sanction or planning. Apparently it's because he's gay. This kind of discrimination makes my blood boil. However you feel about gayness the notion that it's the ultimate standard beyond which a man cannot go - even when he's cheated on his wives, abandoned pinciples, thrown tantrums or advocated military capitulation - simply makes a mockery of any moral standards at all. It seems to indicate that the GOP, and indeed all conservatives, ultimately are just sex-obsessives rather than having anything useful to offer. I know I'm a reactionary old bastard. But I like to think I have better things to judge a person on than where they prefer to put their dingaling.
  9. It's a pretty simple sell, Oblarg. "These programs are only for dumb lazy people. YOU aren't dumb or lazy. Join me in abolishing them." Which forgets the awful truth that they're also for unlucky people. And I guarantee that you are either dumb or lazy or unlucky. The number of people who aren't at least one must number no more than 3 figures.
  10. I'm on my third plyathrough of vanilla skyrim. No complaints here. Love it. Hated Oblivion, and Fallout 3. Go Beth, go. NTW, I can see how it's perfectly sound that they didn't get a lot of this in first time. Once teh thing is up and running it's a lot easire to tack stuff on parasitically than it is to build the whole engine in the first place.
  11. I recall dying. A lot. My two points to keep in mind: wisdom and charisma. Because they make the story ten times more interesting, and help control your hunger. Which makes perfect bloody sense.
  12. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/9073459/US-Marines-posed-with-banner-of-Nazi-SS.html Where the **** does that begin to be sensible? A huge part of me wants to reject it as a photoshop, but it's altogether too crazy.
  13. Aren't we kind of a doughnut split? Under twenties and over thirties? EDIT: Having a 'charge of the light brigade moment', as I just confirmed that the girl I am intending to woo this valentines has worked as a fashion model. I mean I know she's gorgeous, but I can't possibly stand a chance when you put it like that. Where the hell is Shryke when you need him? I've no intention of running away, naturally, but, well, you can't approach romance like you can some rocky ridge. Or can you? Anyone else throwing themselves at a forlorn hope this Tuesday?
  14. I might point out that a great many of those who are arguing for freedom are also biased, since they abuse that freedom to thieve material under the law as it stands. Tey simply don't get prosecuted under the law as it stands. The offence remains.
  15. How many is The Only Way is Essex into now?
  16. Meshugger does have a point. Ron paul woudl be a popcorn and soda presidency for those of us lucky enough to be a long way away.
  17. Purely for the benefit of my fevered imagination I'm going to suggest he's been posted to the Playboy mansion.
  18. I can't advise you as a parent, Hurlshot, and even if I could I wouldn't regard myself as superior. However, as a manager I'd advise you to look at building up the subordinate 'building blocks' of the functioning behaviour. Make her stronger, give her more motivation to complete, positively enable prior through a prep (but don't prep by doing the actual performance, do skills affirmation). I'd also consider whether it's her thing to be performing at all. It's not in everyone's character to want to go out and get public applause or derision, and sometimes it's simply because a person knows they have all the interest, care and support they need already. EDIT: also, as an amateur actor and singer I'd particularly single out the pre-prep. Do stretches or vocal exercises beforehand to prove you've got the chops to do the full show. BUt don't do the full show, because then you'll get complacent.
  19. Well, if that wiki page is to be believed then I stand corrected. I knew we elected MEPs, obviously. But I was under the impession that the Parliament was effectively neutered.
  20. At least the protagonist speaks in whole sentences, even if there's no real choice in what you say. Some people have a few interesting things. But no real characters so far for me, except maybe that bald bloke from the tavern in Solitude. He's OK as a companion.
  21. Geordie women: And don't make me blast Oblivion for its tedium-tastic people and settings. I actually enjoy just going for a walk in Skyrim.

    Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot I just can't get it out of my head. Nor can I stop my head bobbing when it's on.
  23. I loved the game. Boost your charisma a bit and reap the rewards. Also, roleplay. The hunger meter is crazy. BUt it is also one of the best bits of the game for me. Actually installs a sense of urgency and crisis unlike any other mechanism I've come across in a CRPG.
  24. I guess I could go for 'small government' on the basis that much Federal regulation is of irrelevant minutiae. An example is shipping regulations, which have exploded in the last thirty years, yet we've seen little improvement in safety. Heavy handed counter-intuitive regulation simply serves to entrench the big players in an industry because they're the only ones with enough spare cash to hire compliance officers by the battalion.
