They're trying to take the best parts of both, but the main inspiration is the first one. Most of the KeeperKlan community that this project sprang forth from agrees that Dungeon Keeper 1 superior to the sequel by far.

As in the Jamaican? How did you come to that conclusion?

For backers of War For The Overworld, the bedrock beta is now available. It looks good enough that it completely changed my mind about the project.

Thanks, guys. You are my peeps and I appreciate it.

Thanks, I appreciate that. At least we get to say goodbye and she gets to set her affairs in order.

Grandma was diagnosed with aggressive leukemia, the doctor's mentioned "weeks". My mother is a wreck. : / I did make a crappy digital painting of a pig though, so there's that.

Agreed. That's all. I agree with that. I can't put effort into it if it's too boring.

If you enjoyed the movie, I highly recommend the book. The movie is just the first four or so chapters and then skips to the end. The book is simultaneously more insane and in the end makes more sense. It's sequel, "This Book Is Full Of Spiders: Seriously Dude, Don't Touch It" is slightly less insane but still highly entertaining.

Day 3 log. Still haven't gotten past character creation.

I loved Iron Man 3, though it had problems. Unlike many fans, I don't think the Mandarin's "re-imagining" was one of them because I always thought the Mandarin was a terrible character anyway, rivaling the likes of The Kangaroo as dumbest and most racist villains, and it was an interesting twist that showed the filmmakers had balls. On the other hand, was extremely fake, dumb and obvious that it took those balls away again. Still, I was very enterained.

Everytime I get out of character creation in Neverwinter I get bored in seconds and either quit or redo character creation.

That sentiment reminds me of this Cracked article: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-positive-trends-internet-doesnt-get-enough-credit-for/ 4 Positive Trends the Internet Doesn't Get Enough Credit For. (I apologize if anyone gets stuck in the Cracked link machine and wastes their day.)

How does gay and slightly effeminate relate to each other except in 70's stereotypes? I like my sexual partners to be round and soft and smooth, I have no illusions that I'm not the sissy in the gay man/straight man dichotomy.

When I first encountered Darsidian Moor I figured he must be an important character because of his badass dumb name. I wanted a play-doh statue. Nice to see you picked it up again! Your battle of "I suck one on one" with Faldorn was particularely funny. -
Read an article just now by Paul Miller, who has just returned to the internet after an experiment of not using it for a year where he comes to the conclusion that using internet or not doesn't change that much at all, except that you're less connected to people. An interesting read considering how it's practically accepted that the internet has ruined social interaction. It's a bit of a journal type retrospective rather than an in depth analysis, but I thought it was a nifty perspective.

I think you got your order right there. I enjoyed DXHR and la noire quite a bit, but la noire is more like a flawed gem than anything. + I had food poisoning at the time. Thanks guys, might I enquire as to what put Darksiders on the bottom of the list?
-
No, but he does bear an uncanny resemblance to Donald Trump.

I just bought 3 games I haven't played at retail for €6,- combined, not seperate. - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - L.A. Noire - The Complete Edition - Darksiders - The Hellbook Edition Which one should I start with?

Honestly the product key thing is a bit sticky, technically it's a unique product. However, his use of it doesn't stretch further than a general crack - for all intents and purposes, it seems morally the same to me as the situation I described earlier - he's simply using bad means to use something he legally owns. I have to admit, it gets a bit tougher there considering product key fraude is a big issue these days - took me days to be able to play Diablo 3 because some jackass registered using my product key which some keygen apparently had a lucky guess about, but as far as I understand, Mkreku did not use it for multiplayer or register it. It's legally weirder, but I find it acceptable from a personal point of view on the provisions that it's not intended for resale and he doesn't "use up" the product key, so to say. Honestly I always think the point of a toy is to play with it, though.

I'm late to this part of the arguement, but I'm concerned that this makes sense to you because it makes no sense to me. Hypothetical breakdowns: Situation A - Purchased Game: Buying a product, an application, that I can use whenever I want, over and over - I get the same application from somewhere else and I don't do anything with it I did not have the right to do anyway. Therefore, the only problem here is that I used an illegal source for my legal product. Situation B - Movie Ticket: Buying a service, the option to rent a place in a movie theater for the duration of one single showing of the film. I have not purchased a right to see this film whenever I want, over and over. I download the film itself, a reusable product, so I can watch it over and over though I have no right to and have not paid for this product. In this case I have paid only for a service and am therefore in possession of an illegal product from an illegal source. In situation B I possess an illegal product and therefore have committed a crime. In situation A I do not possess an illegal product even if the source offered it illegally. Only the source has committed a crime, I have not. I have paid for exactly every one of the games I have played. Some games I've paid for three times (Gothic 3). Now tell me: what did I steal? You paid for a product (or a product key) and then you chose not to use it. That doesn't give you the right to then download it illegally. You don't see how silly that sounds? If I buy a ticket to a movie and decide to just hold on to the stub, then go home and download it illegally, that doesn't put me in the clear. edit: This is also a very slippery slope. If I buy a movie without a digital copy, does that give me the right to download it off a torrent? The product key is a different matter, because the product key is a unique product whereas the application is not, meaning an illegally procured product key is an illegal product. As for the movie example, there is no slippery slope. It is legal to procure a copy of a film for personal use, say as a spare copy, in any case the argument holds no water since a DVD is just a container for a digital copy and once again you would not be getting something you don't already own. The source is of no consequence. You would not have the right to download a different version of it, however. For example, say you have a DVD but you download an HD version - that would be a crime. It's more of a steep cliff than a slippery slope. Thus far you have not managed to give an example that is not either completely legal or completely illegal on the part of the downloader. The only variable here that makes for murky legal situations is cracks, but that is again not by default a part of downloading an illegal version of a game. In fact, I've cracked games I legally own for no other reason than they would not work otherwise (I'm looking at you, NWN 2). The slippery slope there is the other way around - if cracks become illegal, being modifications of software, all mods immediately become illegal as well. EDIT: Keep in mind that I am not American and what I understand as my basic consumer rights may differ from yours, as I see some people have already pointed out that in some regions personal copies are legal.

Tiiiiiiiiigraneeeeees!!!! I miss your homicidal rage through Faerun. -
I'm inclined to disagree since opening decreases value on collector's items plus a game is a bunch of code. If you already own it, in the strictest sense, you have not gained a new or different product. You've just gotten something you own off a different source than intended. Not that I'm advocating piracy or anything, I just think once you own a game then, you know, you own a game. What does it matter that you got it off a CD as long as you paid for it and already gave your money to support the developers? Yes, in a perfect world there would be no piracy, but it's not a perfect world and dealing with what if's is pointless.

Are your other stats any good? Maybe you can take levels in something else. I've already taken levels in something I'm equally bad at! I'm already crap at 2 classes!
