Good stuff. Anyways, after being fairly busy with school stuffs, or rather paperwork for school stuffs, I'll actually try to get some posts in.

I shot him in the head before he killed any cows as I think that both competes the "quest" and gets you extra points in Novac.

R00fles! "The large-scale combat scenarios are less epic, and the surprises are less dramatic than Fallout 3's mid-game reverie." "The game is sometimes a bit opaque regarding how your actions may inadvertently affect the way a particular faction sees you, but this complexity manifests itself in awesome ways as you near the end of your travels." "Judging by this guy's sneer, he just encounter one of this game's broken missions." "The returning "bloody mess" perk may not have much gameplay significance, but it does result in limbs, heads, and other viscera flying through the air, which is often both gratifying and hysterical."

And it's installed! Too bad I'll be busy doing midterms and transfer essays for the next two weeks or so.

Nope, never heard of it. Or this "Obsidian Entertainment" that made the game. Hopefully they've got some forums somewhere so I can find out about them and their other games though, thanks for the heads up!

Jane Doe - Within Temptation

The joys of DC parking.

I'll get my copy tonight if all goes well, there should be a midnight release, although I doubt I'll get any real playing in until next Sunday.

I guess I'll be either the Conspiracy Theorist or the Goth-Emo, depends on what other people want to be. The Suger-Daddy is also doable if needed.

Tales of Monkey Island - Chapter 1, so far so good (although, yeah, seeing as I got the games for $1 a pop I'm fairly forgiving at this point).

I guess I'll give it a go.

Currently listening to We're All Going to Hell by The Bastard Fairies.

Did they ever get the game to work with ATI cards? I might give it another go if it's been fixed (got it for cheap and then found out it was buggy as hell on my system).

That would be correct.

It's almost like you're not even trying to make sense.

We should do a SoDOFF raid/instance sometime!

Really?! Seriously though, I'm sure you'll do fine.

It seems to me that the transcript of the recording shows nothing more and nothing less than veiled threats in an attempt to coerce the minor. Personally, and this is just speaking for myself, I think that the actions taken represent a gross breach of ethics (and, frankly, morals - although I though I will admit that those are more subjective). The Cop, especially seeing as he was a "veteran motorcycle officer" according to one news report, should have known better than to do something so horrendously asinine. Sure, ban the kid from your house, lecture your daughter -not that this is the best tactic, we can debate that, but it is your child and that's within your rights-, and ask that the boy's parents do something - but sure as ****ing hell do not decide to jump on your bike and misuse the powers given to you for a personal matter of no great importance to anyone outside of the immediate incident. You can, and likely will seeing your responses, write this off as the opinion of a, quote, "hooligan*", but the fact remains that he abused his authority and was, frankly, not being that great of a parent in my mind (again, like the whole "hooligans" bit, you van write this off as the decrepit, false opinions of a non-parent if you so wish -although I'd like to think that you weren't that bigoted-). Also, on that note, I find it humorous that Di can spout sexist manifestos**, or at least post statements that are equivalent, and then turn around and ask for respectful conversation without addressing this 'slight' issue. While it's my hope that these were written in the heat of the moment, to use a common phrase, it does seem that there is a general trend towards this in your writings (or at least those in this thread). But enough of that, it's fairly obvious that we're not going to see eye-to-eye, or even be willing to consider the other side in some cases -I'll not say who but I think we all know-, and so there's not really any point in continuing this further. *Because, obviously, anyone who disagrees with you must be, quote, "a tough, aggressive, violent youth." **In more than one way too. See statements such as these: "It seems that most users of this forum identify more with a sex-hungry boy than the father of a potentially-impregnated 14-year-old girl. Big surpise, given the average age and gender of the board!" "The boy? Bah, he'd just change girlfriends, get a few high fives from his friends, and go on as if nothing had ever happened." "This is not a woman out to ruin some poor bloke's life because he did what guys do, which is have sex as often as possible." Addendum: This is rather blunt and not that tactful, nor should it be based on the content of this topic. It might be better for all concerned to go back to discussing videogames if things are going to be this heated over such a small matter. Be that as it may, I'm going to get some sleep now and so I'll not see any fallout or responses until later. Goodnight forum.

Not yet.

No, It's really not.

Should you also be held accountable if you misused your powers while doing so? Of course! EDIT: You could claim mitigating circumstances and, depending on the situation, get things waved - but that doesn't mean that the initial investigation should not occur.

Meh, seems like a fairly straight forward ethical/legal violation that should be addressed - id est he should be held accountable for abusing his powers.

Yep!

Not exactly. Someone claimed that he wrote back in an email and said that they would likely do what you say. Oh, and,as fas as I know, the original post/email is missing so no-one can verify this.
