I know it shouldn't. I am curious if it does.

I don't think it's a stretch that many people are "interested" in the game simply because they want to see it fail.

The original Deus Ex didn't really punish you for face-to-face gunfights. Often they were unavoidable. Especially since the badguys tended to home in on where you were once combat had started, unless you could find a vent or something to hide in (or you just ran away from them long enough that they couldn't catch up to you). That said, you could build your character in such a way that it was horrible at face-to-face gunfights. I am guessing you still can in DX3 as well. But give yourself active defense, some good weapon skills, and ballistic shielding (or whatever it was called) and gun fights were pretty LOL. I loved it when the MJ12 Commandos would blow themselves up the instant they shot their rockets and my active defense would blow them up the instant they were fired.

How can you tell if you used an activation. I was curious on just uninstalling the game and reinstalling it and seeing if that would use one.

It was obviously a bootlegged pirated car too. You are always at risk when buying those cars. Caveat Emptor!

Oh my! Let me see if I can squeeze in an open weekend or something first! Stupid school.

*waves hand* KOTOR has no mind control. Fortunately it works on the weak minded.

Hate is too strong a word. Its major downfall for me was that it stripped away all the fun aspects of Deus Ex and failed to replace them with anything. Harvey Smith said the game was going to have CHOICES THAT MATTERED. It didn't. All the fun aspects? The core of multiple approaches was still there, as you said. Plus the cool weapons and abilities, and you can still build your character for the approach you want. How many modern games can we say that about? As far as overhyping the game and winding up hurting it, yeah, I guess we've never seen that before Who are you to say what she does and does not consider the fun aspects of the game anyways?

I own the original. Not IW. It's like $10 or $15 on Steam.

I have been considering picking it up on Steam just because I never did play it. I still might.

In the end the rescinded that because they didn't want people to get stuck down a path or something, right?

That doesn't mean I didn't know it. Kilobyte is 2^10, Megabyte is 2^20, and so forth. Taks is right. Figuring out 2^18 was just below 300k wasn't difficult, since I knew 2^20 was roughly 1 million. I did exactly what he guessed I did, which is start from 2^20, and then divide by 2^2, to get 2^18.

Nah, 2^20 is roughly 1 million (and where Megabyte comes from). So I just took two off the top to give me roughly 250k. Though you're right, I technically am at 125K, but if you notice the term I used, my statement is actually still correct

Fair enough, maybe I am wrong. I am more just basing my opinion on an assumption that if your diastolic is so low that you are clinically dead, you probably aren't getting the oxygen to your brain that you need to remain conscious.

Was your diastolic so low that you were clinically dead?

Errr, 1 in 300,000 is pretty effing tiny. How many dental operations under GA do you think there are each year? Maybe 30 million? So each year 100 people die under GA. It's tiny, but not tiny enough. You are saying that because you found out that 1 in 300,000 people die, you are certain you weren't hearing things while under anesthetic. If your diastolic is that low and you're experiencing lung failure, you probably aren't conscious. For reference sake, you have a worse chance of dying due to anesthetic, then you do of flipping a coin 18 times and having it be the same thing every time.

Errr, 1 in 300,000 is pretty effing tiny.

I'm not sure, I think the two of them just like to antagonize each other. Frequently they are both online at the same time (and I'm not talking in Obsidian either)

He is consistent.

So? No one has said that poor people turn to thefts or other crimes. Different factors will play a role, and no one here has discounted that the person himself has responsibility. There's also discrimination on the other side. The poor will be overrepresented in the criminal justice system because of inherent discrimination. It's more difficult for them to afford legal counsel, yet at the same time, many do not qualify for legal aid. Hence, they have to represent themselves to the best of their ability, which isn't going to be very well. It's also more likely that you will be given more lenient treatment if you're of a particular race and social status. It works both ways. If it's ultimately people's choices though, what's causing the poor and minorities to commit all these crimes, since based on a percentage of population, they are overrepresented in the justice systems. If it was just people making the decisions, then it should be more uniformly distributed, as it'd be more random. But it's not, not by a long shot. I am not even sure how this is an example of anything.

I should clarify, when I was under the influence of anesthetic, I had no recollection of time haha. It seemed pretty instant to me.

I can vouch that they are in fact two different people though.

Stating that societal influences can predispose people to crime (or whatever) does not absolve people of their responsibility of committing the act. What it does do though, is try to help understand what would have caused someone to behave in a certain way, and why would they make that decision?

I was going to say some more, but I think it's best to just say I will agree to disagree.

I have no recollection of time haha.
