  1. I never saw that. Where do you find that?
  2. Party's name would naturally be OE btw, only one of those was new, you silly Krez Great read
  3. Xard

    What

    I'm still going for Enormous ****
  4. Motto eh? "I always try to huff and puff while I'm fisting . I think it's the only way to really get that extra push in at the end."
  5. "The lighting effects are in place even at this early stage, and a charismatic midnight vista is visible from the office elevator. Even the naff corporate artwork on the walls looks right." It looks that good on these stages of development so I don't think there's any reason to be worried if graf1xes are important
  6. edit: Drizzt is foremost ranger and he doesn't use bows at all
  7. ...which does not equal to ranger
  8. suddenly? they are cool since Legolas William Tell and Robin Hood and the huns! none of those three are rangers. Especially not the huns
  9. I see no great difference to this
  10. So, rangers suddenly became cool eh
  11. And because I was bored:
  12. sorry, but if you want to go against entire field of independent (meaning no corporate money) scientific studies you're free to do so. Just don't except me to hop in argument where opposing side has no basis or reason. What's next, potato chips are healthy because they're made of potatoes?
  13. I have to say Arcanum is strange beast. It has one of the worst GUI's I've ever encountered - that has been TWICE reason for me abandonding the game before getting very far-, rather mundane writing, horrible and unbalanced combat and it is ****ing hideous*. But on the other hand it has fantastic roleplaying and awesome milieu. And heart you have to admit *When compared to Fallouts and PS:T that is, games I had just previously played before first trying Arcanum. Bloodlines however became one of my favourite games. Fantastic writing
  14. For gameplay to be chore it should be monotonic and unappealing - often including clumsiness. That does not equal to complexity and challenge
  15. I googled "fat australians" or something like that and it was the first result *shrug*
  16. "obnoxious hippy"
  17. Heh, was just a random suggestion This is funny how I ended up in defending healthy eating against fastfood when remembering my own eating habbits No, I don't eat fastfood (it must've been two months since last time) or stuff like that too much. The thing is I eat way too less and am way too picky. Then at late night I get really hungry and eat raw spaghetti or something In fact I'm hungry right now due to me not eating properly, but am too lazy to go and actually make some food I really should eat vegetables way more too
  18. Indeed It's not like one side is stronger than other It all depends on individuals who channel the force and their capabilities
  19. No one is trying to take McDonalds away, geez You can eat as much as you want. But we're looking at big picture here Volo, I also wonder how healthy you would be with better diet - something akin Meshugger's suggestion. You might be surprised by its effects
  20. Nor do you find much sophistication when they found that stable in Britain where people would come and pay for engaging in sexual intercourse with horses now do you.... Have sex with horses? That is so tame and uncool This is how real men roll
  21. If you make this kind of statement, you must be prepared to drown all opposition in a ****load of statistics that back you. And, for all its comical value, "Supersize ME" proves jack, from a statistical standpoint. It's false, too. "Junkfood" in controlled amounts and otherwise healthy habits will not make you fat. Your arteries, heart, liver, etc might not be too happy about it, but that's an entirely different issue. Well duh, of course it is in controlled amounts ok. Problem is in modern era more and more people drift to eating it way too often - and way too often isn't even close to Supersize ME level wackiness. Other effects you mentioned alone are good reason why there should be campaigns against junkfood. Obesity didn't start with the onset of Mcfood. It wouldn't end if you removed it, either. Unhealthy eating habits have found a way of materialising in fast food restaurants, but being fat is a choice, 99% of the time. Nope, it didn't start and I never said that. Outside world largerly affects how much easier it is to make "wrong" choice in this kind of thing. Using drugs is choice too. It doesn't mean we should let our surroundings to get into state where making "wrong" choice instead of "right" choice is propabilistically higher and higher with each passing year. There are countless ways how our modern western lifestyle, merchandising, brands and all that jazz affects people and lead them to junkfood places they wouldn't otherwise go. Yes. It's a good exercise at pointing the obvious. A huge surplus of calories + zero activity = fatty. I don't think anyone disputed that? Yes, some people dispute that. ( See Volourn's "HEALTHY JUNKFOOD" part for quick reference ) And "junkfood companies" have for a long time tried to make bad health effects seem lesser than they are in eyes of media.
  22. Are you playing dumb? Statistics include irregularities. Fast food does make most people fat. It would make even you but since I don't know you any better I don't know just how much would you have to eat. I was a bit unclear. I didn't mean McDonalds as I was speaking about whole junkfood "industry". I'm talking about big shots who fight for having ****ty, unhealthy food in schools which's effect have been catastrophal especially in England. Aahh, but WHY people want to buy? And why nowadays the business is so much bigger and its results more damaging? What is it that leads people into mindlessly consuming junkfood by mass day after day? And why overall situation is so different now than it used to be? Nothing wrong with this kind of lobbying as it is based on true, studied and tested scientific knowledge and common sense instead of done for money and business deals by greedy businessment with questionable means including censoring and spreading false imago etc. something tobacco industry has mastered aeons ago. Give good thought for those questions I posed earlier. Answers encompass this. Nobody's taking your fries away from you. Of course this doesn't mean you haven't had need or should've gone to hospital. And one individual doesn't cause stress on health industries. Causes are the slumbering, overweight masses that grow day after day. All it does are exaggarating to cause greatest effect. It helped to spread thinking among people who had previously somewhat knew junkfood wasn't healthy but then just shoveled the thought to some dark corner of their minds. Not to mention it helped to deal with gargantual megalunches which no sane human would naturally want to eat and which exist only to make easy money. Edit: "Deal with" aka making them disappear from the market Wrong, there's people like this. And like Gorgon already said, you missed the point of the movie.
  23. KotOR II could be considered as heretic to SW canon in many, many ways. I wonder if this nature of plot and themes is one of ther reason why LA is so reluctant in giving OE second chance.
