Personally I'm with Gorth, I think governments should get out of the marriage business had have civil unions for all (we should let the religious fight about what is a 'real marriage' and keep it out of public policy - instead having a nice, secular civil agreement between two consenting persons who want to live their life together and support each other). Hell, I'd even say we, that is people in general, should open civil unions up to any consenting persons who want one. Two friends decide they'd like to be life-long roommates but don't have a romantic connection? Sure! Let them have one. Marriage isn't really the important issue, I couldn't care less about the religious connotations personally, it's the rights and privileges that come with the term that matter - and I don't think we should hold those hostage to an outdated institution that has more baggage than your average family vacation.

Huh, I'm surprised he is so unhappy with Greenlight. I guess he envisioned it as something better, but I thought it was a pretty good way to get indie developers spotlighted. There's also been alot of sub-par games that have ended up getting through because of it, so I can understand why he might be unhappy.

I fully expect Half-Life 3 to be SteamBox exclusive... If that's the case I think they'll loose more sales than they gain, most people who use Steam have a decent enough PC/Laptop that it can run HL2 - why should they spend more money on a console that's going to be redundant?

The basic or the advanced? Because the advanced changes things a good bit - or at least it did last time I tried it. But, sadly, there's not really a better option.

R00fles! At best it's an 'ok' DRM system, at worse a horrible subscription system that is overrated by most of its users. Oh wait, that's one in the same - it's both DRM and a subscription system! What's there to like again? Oh, the sales. Those are ok... And really the only reason one would use it aside from the games that require it.

Latin! I want Project Eternity to have a full Latin translation!

Keep your dirty console hands off of my golden PC gaming exclusive! Although, seriously, I doubt that the game would port well to a console - but then, evidently, people were happy with the port of Dragon Age: Origins and I never thought that would have ported well. So, maybe? It likely depends on how well it sells and how much money they would loose/gain if they did make a port.

Just how big is it and what percentage of total users of a game mod their games? It depends on the game, but for some games, like the Elder Scrolls games and NWN/NWN2, Modding has helped drive sales and keep games alive for much longer than their original campaigns would. And then there's the ones like Black Mesa, mods that turn into games in their own right.

Personally I enjoyed co-op multiplayer in BG, BG2, IWD, IWD2, NWN, and NWN2 - and so I'd not mind it being included in Project Eternity.

Loved Jane's U.S.A.F. - in fact I've still got the discs (I just wished it ran better on XP-forward). I think I've also got their F15 and F16 sims somewhere as well.

Actually, yes I would have ignored said advances - at best they'd be annoying and unwelcome and at worse they'd be disturbing and unwelcome. Not everyone likes random people hitting on them, attractive or not - and at that age someone being older would have made it even worse. Wow, I guess I just agreed with Lord of Flies... That's a first.

It's more, outside of gender studies, of an Internet-thing than a real-life-thing, so I'm not surprised you hadn't heard of the term. It's used, by some people, instead of 'gender normative' because, in their minds, if transgender is a thing there has to be a correlating term for people who aren't trans (as saying 'gender normative' would, heaven forbid, imply that there's something queer, pardon the pun, about people who aren't that way). Currently it's mostly used by Internet 'social justice bloggers' on Tumblr, and other such sites but mostly Tumblr, when pointing things they don't like - mostly used in 'Cisgender Privilege; posts of questionable validity (or for making 'helpful' comments like 'die cis scum' - because that's useful). But enough on that, let's get back to the topic at hand... It's bull**** that he's expected to pay child support. That sums things up rather nicely.

It's worth it.

I'm not sure why you'd support him...

You can also use several tricks using your .profile file to get, in effect, unlimited keys. You can also get 100% orange drops, too. There are a lot of things you can do. Meh, editing the drops seems like it would take away from the fun of the game while getting keys allows you to not worry about wasting them (i.e. using some with a character you don't like or using them too early).

I'm waiting until the Android release (I might also pick up the PC version for cross-platform multiplayer).

I'd prefer for it to be in a non-video format as that tends to give more room for non-game characterization and commentary.

I think something went amiss in the calculations...

I broke-up with my girlfriend and it looks like we're likely not going to get back together (although we will still remain friends). Kinda wishing that I was in the same state of mind as Ros - being drunk might help lessen the sting.

Sense, this makes none.

R00fles! You're joking, right? Steam is one of the most controlling forms of DRM used and, frankly, something I would prefer to avoid if it wasn't needed for so many titles (I still buy my games on disc when I can, provided the DRM used on the physical version is not more horrendous than that used on digital copies).

You cannot go back, nor can you keep two versions.

I had a rough night with the girlfriend, not a fight and more dealing with her feeling like **** because of family pressure to break-up -they don't care for me/my family-, but we'll likely be ok. If nothing else we'll go back to being close friends (as we were before we were dating, and what, worst case, we both want to preserve if things don't work out).
