  1. That is why you have mandatory minimum sentences. If this guy was in Iowa he would be facing 25 years in prison, mandatory. No getting out in 2 years for good behavior. 25 years, minimum.

  2. Which is strange considering that Bioware had nothing to do with the creation of NWN2 and its expansions.

     

    It has nothing to do with who developed the game Lil' Miss Raven. It had to do with the publisher, and in this case that publisher being Atari. Atari published the first NWN and the second NWN, and all the expansions there of. It was Atari's choice to have all the NWN forums to be all in one place. A central hub for the entire fanbase can interact, which makes sound business sense. That way if there is a major announcement or a need to get consumer feedback they only need to go to one place.

  3. How's the DLC? Worth 5 bucks? (360 lol)

     

    How's the story/length/gameplay/design/structure? Short review, please, thanks.

     

    BDtS is more involved than the typical side quest. While it is still in the vein of the standard Mass Effect gameplay, there are quite a number of good role play opportunities here and there within it, but only with the main character and non-party NPCs. The main drawback is that no matter who you bring in your party, they will have nothing to say. There were some good opportunities for Wrex's usual snide remarks that Bioware chose not to have in there.

     

    The challenge level pretty good. It is much better than the typical UNC mission and the final battle varies on how you interact with the main baddie. Its difficulty is on par with the final Noveria battle, but for different reasons depending on your role play. Its length is longer than most UNCs, but shorter than the main planets, running roughly 60 to 90 minutes. Last time I went through it, it only took me an hour or so but that was my upteenth time I played the game.

     

    If you liked Mass Effect, then its worth the $5. Hell, BDtS is better than most of the DLCs that are available for the Xbox 360's CRPGs.

     

    If i was to give BDtS a grade I would give it a B+, but then again I am a Bioware (and ME) Fanboy. :thumbsup:

  4. I have already seen enough of Fallout 3 that it is most certainly not a proper Fallout game. If you are going to make a series you need to be consistent in form, story, and style. Just compare Baldur's Gate 1 to Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights 1 to Neverwinter Nights 2, even Morrowind to Oblivion. There is a level of continuity between the game in question and what came prior. Now we have Fallout 3. There is no consistency. There is no continuity between it and the games earlier in the series.

     

    That is why I am against Fallout 3. The only reason why I am against Fallout 3.

  5. He should at least get 25 to life in prison. What the hell?!?!? If he is suffering from dementia then he should be placed in an asylum.

     

    I can see the judge's point that the prison system can't cope with a man with dementia. But surely you can't just shrug and push him out onto the streets? I mean, if he's bonkers enough to strangle his own wife he might turn on anyone!

     

    Exactly. An asylum or full care facility that can handle dementia or other mental problems that patients may have would probably be the best place for the bugger.

  6. Today I had a startling realization about my customers and ethnicity, at least of those who frequent my store at the late night hours. If this offends anyone I apologize.

     

    Hispanics will only buy beer or cigarettes when they come in, but they are always polite and never obviously drunk when doing so.

     

    Whites will more often come in drunk, loud, and running in at the last minute before the 2am cut off time. Younger they are the more drunk, loud, and more often than not, late they are. They also buy a lot of pizza and chips.

     

    Blacks are pretty much the same with Hispanics, though a couple may come in with obvious signs of drunkiness, but not as bad as whites. They tend to still be vertical, but get particularly defensive if you ask for their ID, even though they drove to the store. Also they tend to load up on cheese and candy, and occasionally Cheetoes.

     

    Asians are rare but almost every time they come in they always grab a Gatorade, either from the fountain area or from the cooler.

     

    Middle Eastern folks usually just buy the newspaper.
