You don't think a simple php or html format would have worked a bajillion times better ? You do know that PHP is scripting, right? And HTML is pretty much only good for viewing webpages, not actual documents. I won't even guess what it would take to convert the source material into HTML. And then set up appropriate links for all of the images instead of just putting it all into one file. No, they wouldn't work better.

Dragon Age 2
I didn't miss that, but I apparently forgot it. I thought I'd heard a while back that appearances were set this time around. Or maybe I just inferred it when they created a default female appearance after never doing that for Mass Effect.

PDF is searchable. If it's not scanned into the format.

Economic libertarians - tell me how an anarcho-capitalist state would prevent BP from ****ting all over the environment?
Most Greens are socialists in hippy clothing, at the end of the day they want to take your money and tell you how to live your life and how to think. The vehicle for their authoritarian leftist agenda is saving the planet. So, they're just like all the other political activists, just with uglier shirts?

I haven't a clue what a watermelon is in that context, but sign me up for it.

HBO will proceed with GRRM's Ice & Fire Series
I've done that. And I have to say, she wasn't worth it.

It looks like Nathon Fillion's younger clone.

I have the first book and couldn't get into it the first time I tried. I guess this is an excuse to give it a second go.

How do its OS requirements affect its awesomeness? I'd think it's pretty obvious. If I can't play it, it's impossible for it to be awesome.

Started Dawn of War II. Campaign is more fun than I thought it would be, but it's not engaging me enough to sit down for hours with it. I'll try out King's Bounty now.

How can it be awesome if it's a Vista/7 exclusive?

Beat Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. So, definitely not a spinoff or whatever. It's somewhere between expansion and sequel. Really liked it. If you're a fan of the series, you'll want to pick it up.

I'd been curious about King's Bounty.

That will be hard. Between this and Amazon. Both Alien Anthology and Seven Samurai Blu-Rays were like $20 off!

Generally, the non-violent solutions were "try to sneak past it down corridors filled with them." Even the android one had you visit a Mirelurk nest. It did real well until that point. I think Raven Rock was probably the best one, though, you could sneak under them.

It's one quest. There's actually 3 ways to resolve it, though one counts as failure, but provides plenty of XP and a happy ending slide. And I'd contend that people throw around C&C too much. The high hard road / easy low road is a bloody stable of the genre when it comes to actually making skills worthwhile. It's the only way to make skills valuable when everything else can be solved by shooting. Making all skills equivalent in each instance doesn't strike me as desirable. And is a drastic improvement over Fallout 3, where the solution was always shooting.

This is not the case, at least, not to the extent seen in F3. The vast majority of locked doors do not have computer terminals that will unlock them (they may have keys, though). It was somewhat disconcerting after F3 that NV had several quests that required a certain skill to complete. Comprehension helps in those cases. The vast majority of doors do not have terminals, yes. But they do have keys, ways around, or terminals. Which was my point. Science or exploration. Examples such as the hotel in Primm. There's a back way to the deputy. Door is locked. But there's a terminal that opens another locked door that leads to the key to that door. Or the unique plasma rifle. Which has a key, lock, and terminal, all for the same door. But there are no quests that I've ever seen that required a certain skill. Maybe a certain skill to complete a particular way (such as the powder ganger vault). Edit: Well, there's the two companion quests that require speech. But I also mentioned that. Though one of those can be done with Barter.
