TO THE SEQUELS THREAD! AWAY!

Even in spite of Stand-Your-Ground laws, I imagine most states do not give a civilian the right to kill to prevent robbery, but to prevent harm (even if only perceived) to yourself or other persons. I'm not sure how it works with armed security, such as at banks however.

I'm not clear on the question. If you're asking if announcing gives you the right to shoot indiscriminately, then no that would not be legal. If you're asking if announcing gives the right to shoot to prevent robbery, then it can vary by state. As I said about Duty-To-Retreat, in some cases (maybe all), you have to be unable to retreat. So, shooting someone who is leaving is a big nono. If you're asking if announcing a threat to scare off an intruder is legal on its own, well duh. The point of Stand-Your-Ground laws is that it is believed a person who is under threat of potential harm should not have to worry about getting arrested should they decide to defend themselves. They may not be in the right state to validly judge whether retreat is an option. At least that's how it is in Texas, as stated by the man who proposed the change in law.

That's the essence of the stand-your-ground, but it's not the whole of the US. If Wikipedia is accurate, it's 26 states, which is just over half. In contrast, some states have duty-to-retreat which requires you to either reasonably attempt to escape or announce intent to use deadly force. Again, up until the beginning of September, Texas had Duty-To-Retreat.

Psst, Universe at War is already out.

I think it's only fair to point out that until rather recently, even in Texas you could only shoot intruders if another person in your situation could not reasonably escape. It's called Duty-To-Retreat, and while it's been removed from Texas, it still is in effect for nearly half the other states. The contrary is called Stand-Your-Ground and Sand's home state of Illinois has such a law. Or does he live in Iowa? If so, he's plain fudgered.

SWG's (original) combat was fine for me. Though, I do have a personal disagreement with their melee-ranged balance.

Any spoiler questions about The Witcher can be PM'ed to me.

All equipped non-weapons. Honestly, if the absolute first event in the entire game constitutes a spoiler, I don't know what to say. Hey guys, it's titled . Did you know ?

It is rumored that the second movie will try to bridge the gap between the Hobbit and the Fellowship of The Ring. I give more credit to the rumor that the Hobbit is simply split in two.

Do not confuse emos with frickin' NINJAS! That's NINJA MICKEY!

"Unconsumed"... your secret stash of Beer? I couldn't think of a better term for media not engaged in than "unconsumed." We talk about ourselves as consumers of games, consumers of movies, consumers etc. So for games I have not finished, I list them in a tab labeled "unconsumed."

I'm playing Jak & Daxter. The graphics are surprisingly bad, even Daxter on the PSP is world's better. The gameplay reminds me significantly of Crash Bandicoot. The setting and characters are absolutely wonderful. Fun and hilarious. And I've only just started. I'm surprised by how mature the game is. It may be cartoony and silly, but everyone seems to be a bit of a jerk.

This game is an absolute classic. I'm trying to make and organize my entire media library. Books, games, movies, music. This is my first step, I'm getting the titles and information by memory down, one platform at a time. Weekends is when I plan on detailing it and making sure the info is correct, as well as setting up an organization system.

Would it be awesome if they put up the trailer only for it to turn out to be rickroll? y/n

Many elderly care homes offer in-house medical services these days. I admit to remembering nothing about this game other than its famous non-existence. Is it going to be an RPG? First person shooter. A member of a series of FPS games that is notorious for being very macho and crude. Not exceptionally violent, but having evil pigs dressed as cops and lots of strippers.

Do they honestly do that? What they actually do is have you select from a list of topics. This list of topics usually coincides with a word or phrase that the NPC says that you can get more information about. So, if an NPC starts talking about a sword you'll get "sword" on the list to the side. You select sword and the NPC will elaborate on the sword they were talking about.

This is what I posted on Kotaku about it:

I can understand being against no-knock warrants, but a stance against SWAT boggles my mind. How do you expect police to respond to armed groups with body armor and assault rifles? Just let them do whatever they want? You could build an argument for limits on SWAT intervention, but not outright getting rid of. And absolutely nothing to stop organized crime, handle investigations, rural crime, or anything more serious than household robbery.

Well, your friends aren't complete freaks (though they are YOUR friends). I almost came to dislike the game at Chapter 3 for my previously stated reasons.

I think the original topic was about how Jennifer Connelly should return my calls because I love her and how she loves me too and if you have seen any of her movies you would have caught the secret signals that reveal as much.

We should see it by 2020 then. That joke wasn't even funny when it was referring to Half-Life 2.

So you are the exception that proves the rule! Ha! I will cut you.
