  1. I've mostly been paying No More Room in Hell when not trying to get through the mind-numbingly bad By Night Studios Mind's Eye Theater rules (a friend and I, rather stupidly, agreed to write a review).
  2. Mine seem to be missing, although my profile says I have badges. EDIT: Nevermind, they're here now.
  3. The police have, at least from what I've read and seen, said that this was a false report and they've not got anyone in custody.
  4. I'd love to see a KotOR 3 and would pay well above standard price if that's what it required to get one that was developed by Obsidian.
  5. Urg... Please, not that. Personally I found Carth grated on my nerves, particularly after the first couple of times through the game, but then I also mostly played a mix of dark and light or pure dark and thus got all the lectures on morality and how sith are the evils.
  6. It would be interesting to see if there were any peer-reviewed articles on the matter, I suspect there are given that this has been a topic that, to one degree or another, has been in the public eye since women, and, to a lesser degree, men, have run for office in the age of mass media and the internet. The 2008 Presidential Election spurred this to even greater heights given that one of the front runners was Hillary Clinton and the VP for McCain was the infamous Sarah Palin.
  7. In a sense, they would argue that it isn't right for only cisgendered people to be called "normal" hence the insult. Normal: -Skipping to the relevant bits: 2- a : according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle b : conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern It would, and this is the counter-argument, seem that, even if you accepted the argument that being transgendered is natural and acceptable -I am not saying it is not, I'm just putting those issues aside for the sake of the argument-, they would, by the very definition of the word, fall outside of 'normal' given that 'normal' is made of the 'standard' and, at least for the time being, cisgendered heterosexuality is just that - the norm. I know that this would not go over well among the 'social justice' apologists and fanatics of Tumblr and other such places, but, as far as I can see, I cannot come up with a scenario, barring a complete demographic shift, where transgendered would be anything but abnormal.
  8. Please tell me this is in jest...
  9. I currently have a Nexus 7 for Tablet-things, a Motorola Milestone X as my phone, and a variety of iPods laying around that I use for music/podcasts (these range from an iPod Mini to an iPod touch). I'll likely upgrade the phone fairly soon, although I'll be buying one outright and not going through a contract as I like the plan I have and want to keep it.
  10. As far as I know it works fine (although you'll want to turn off the auto-patching for KotOR II so it doesn't 'fix' your files for you and break things). Also, as far as LucasArts being closed, I believe that Disney has said that they're more than willing to license Star Wars, they just didn't want to develop anything in-house. The bigger issue would be a lore re-boot that negates the events of KotOR and TSL - something that would make the likelihood of a third game extremely unlikely. That said, KotOR has a fanbase and, provided it doesn't mess with their plans, a proposal might be accepted if there's enough evidence that they would not loose money (although, if the game was kickstarted that might be a non-issue).
  11. You wanted $300,000?! $90,000 is bad enough but the original amount is just crazy.
  12. I support British ownership. Even if you discount the historical arguments, the fact that the islanders was to remain British shouldn't be ignored. Unless Argentina wants another war (because the last one went so well for them).
  13. I'd think so, I know that the community for NWN is still active and, even though it was smaller, a fair number of people who worked with NWN did things for NWN2 as well.
  14. I've always wondered how those discount places got their keys. Figured them more for grey market than black. And unlike Prell, I'd definitely call products bought with stolen cards then resold "black." Some are black and some are grey. And some are legitimate - GetGamesGo and GameRocket are good examples of this. Although I agree you should be careful where you get keys from and avoid the more shady sites (personally I avoid them in favor of security, if slightly higher prices).
  15. Meh, I'd rather see The Black Hound or Van Buren.
  16. Steam = a subscription system with built-in DRM. True, there are some perks but, overall, I'd prefer to buy DRM-free discs or DRM-free digital releases (GoG is wonderful).
  17. I don't remember seeing this, but I probably have. Is there any hope that Sega, or whoever owns the license, would re-visit the project so Obsidian could finish it? I doubt that's the case but...
  18. Meh, I'm rather ambivalent about the holiday this year. While, on one hand, I'd like to do my normal routine of not doing anything and basically ignoring everything until the candy goes on sale, that's a bit harder to do with the recent separation, it's been about a month but it still hurts, and I'm finding all the hearts and things more than a bit annoying (not that I begrudge people being happy, I'd just wish that it wasn't pushed onto everything). I'll likely end up spending the night in, ignoring the world until the display of hearts and nauseating lovey-stuff has subsided. Of, course, that would change if she changed her mind and wanted to get back together - but I'm not holding my breath on that, I might ask her if she's still sure in another month or so but, even then, I'm not expecting a good outcome.
  19. System Shock 2 is coming to GoG tomorrow!
  20. And one was good, Origins, and the other not that great (while both were the intro sequences, DA2's was alot weaker than DA:O's). At least that's what I remember off the top of my head - was there more to the DA2 demo or was it those first few battles?
  21. I'm not positive, but I think it is one of the 'extras' with the GoG copy of Fallout Tactics. I'll double-check later and see if that's the case or not. EDIT: It seems I was thinking of Fallout Tactics: Warfare.
  22. The highest level items being the purple? I think Orange are the highest you can get, with purple being the second highest.
  23. I agree, hence this part of what you quoted: "...as long as being married is the standard for couples it should be open to both homosexual and heterosexual couples - with both being provided the full rights and privileges that this conveys." I'm not sure if you were expounding on what I said or under the false impression that I disagree with you, but I agree that the real issue is the legal rights and benefits and that they should be extended to homosexual couples as well as heterosexual couples. I don't care about the religious meaning of marriage, but the gut-reaction of those who do make it harder to achieve equal rights as long as that is the term used (a solution, although not one that would likely get any traction, would be to make civil unions for all - getting the government out of the discussion of marriage and fixing the real issue, the lack of the rights and protection for homosexual couples). That said, if marriage is going to be the term used by the government, then it should extend to homosexual couples as well as heterosexual ones. I feel like I'm repeating myself here... As I've been saying that the entire time.
