  1. I'd say if the frequency of pausing becomes too overwhelming, even in short fights, that's frenetic. I mean I don't know if it's actually happening or not, but I can see a situation in an RTwP game where you're pausing multiple times in the time it takes to get one weapon swing or spell in (to give orders for the other party members for example) being problematic. Even if the action was going on at a glacial pace, that's way too much micromanagement. Again, hypothetically.
  2. Hopefully it's just a matter that of the default speed setting being a bit too optimistic as opposed to a fundamental design thing of inserting too many active abilities to manage (like in RTSes). Don't have any real feedback myself, all I'm doing is creating a character, seeing how they level, then immediately trying another character, literally without even moving the previous one.
  3. Nope, but Risen was banned due to the use of real or real-analogue drugs which are shown have positive effects. Completely made-up drugs like in Fallout are generally okay, though SR4 got in trouble for the nonspecific "Alien Narcotics". The other common reason for bans in Australia is Sexual Violence. Sex is fine, violence is fine, but never shall the two meet. South Park and SR3 and their anal probing fall under this category. Actually sex is not fine under one circumstance too: as a quest reward. The Witcher 2 had a small scene cut out because of this.
  4. "It's an RPG" is a pretty low hurdle when it comes to talking points. Personally I have nothing to say because I've never played any PB game.
  5. Covert Action 2 might be an even easier sell to me than Alpha Protocol 2. Heresy, I know.
  6. I don't do tablets myself, but I do trust NotebookCheck's ratings more than any other source, they're the most reputable source for that kind of review, with objective measurements for things like screen quality. They're actually German, and the reviews are translated from German, so the content is a little EU-centric, but most of it is relevant worldwide. Top 10 Tablets Top 10 Smartphones
  7. I've never had a single unsolicited friend invite, should my ego be deflated now?
  8. Referring to Pierce Brosnan era Bond in itself as retro weirds me out already.
  9. There was that one patch that turned them from easily the worst group healer to the absolute clear best. Yeah, their development path somewhat lacked direction there.
  10. I don't think 'remembering' would be of much value there. Eight years ago the paladin mechanics were "toggle on self buff and right click enemy once, make a sandwich". Last I remember them on the other hand, they were getting GCD-locked, i.e. have more abilities available to use than there is time to use them. The paladin class really worked out weirdly for me, I don't like paladins thematically and never thought I'd end up playing mine much at all. But in the end I actually ended up doing the most challenging hard mode raid bosses with the paladin more than any other class (to the point of doing Spine of Deathwing HM on literally my last day of WoW).
  11. "All images, regardless of text configuration, must fit within a perimeter of 125 pixels high by 600 pixels long." Those don't just exceed the limit, they're multiples of it. Seriously, I'd reconsider the need for one at all as they'd be pretty distracting even if scaled down.
  12. It's been two-and-a-bit years for me since I quit, doesn't feel like even half of that. Biggest benefit has been the excuse to throw away my silly Logitech G-thing keyboard and get a normal one. If they do a 10-day 'trial' for WoD I guess I might poke my head in, but no real incentive as of yet. 7 years and 10 85s will do that.
  13. I dunno, do you consider compound interest to be a glitch?
  14. Child's play, you can get magnitudes more than that, into the millions at the very least. :D
  15. They were lucky in that it turns out that the Topps gum was found to be the only man-made material strong enough to be used to fill in the cracks in the streets and buildings in the aftermath of the quake.
  16. So hyped that you used the actual quote button to quote!
  17. So are only these state liquor stores permitted to sell gum in Utah?
  18. To be fair, such an heirloom would likely never be opened, let alone consumed, except as an ostentatious display of wealth.
  19. I'll go with something like this: (Had to veeeeery carefully crop some of those)
  20. The only time zone that matters is the first one, everyone else is living in the past. It is only fair that all releases be based on Kiribati time, GMT+14.
  21. If you're using a free image host, the link they give you is often to a webpage (with ads and whatnot), and you'll have to dig a bit more to get the actual image link. e.g. imgur.com/xxxxx instead of i.imgur.com/xxxxx.jpg
  22. The Xbone is much more conveniently corner-shaped. It's almost as if Microsoft were aware of this need when designing it. Aside, there's a one day sale of the PS4 where I am, $399AUD (RRP is $549), but waaaay too early for me to jump in. But happy to see it getting cheaper. But for any Aussies who are interested, it's from the **** Smith eBay store, use code CDICKSMITH20 at checkout.
  23. A Vhailor strip show would have been even saucier.
  24. But not in Australia!
  25. I've never gotten as far as mechs, or genemods, or even gauss in Long War. But Gauss weapons in themselves don't seem particularly attractive: on a one to one basis, sure, it's 1 damage vs 7-10 aim, but when the Gauss weapon costs 3 times more? Not so much. Exception for the Recoilless Rifle for obvious reasons, and the Alloy Cannon (but even then it's mostly because the Scatter Laser sucks). Fortunately this has been recognised, and the next beta will reduce their cost, while also having them ignore 0.33 damage reduction. But above all I think the power of the Laser Cannon for the air war is what makes Beam Lasers most attractive. EDIT: Just reading the tech tree now admittedly, I hadn't really looked at it and was mostly going by instinct.
