Tale

So, your entire complaint with Transformers is that the Decepticons are significantly more advanced than humans. Bringing up Deus Ex Machina has nothing to do with that. At all. Not even a little. Cheesy or sudden plot resolutions have nothing to do with that, either. There's no telling if it's insta-lose for the humans against the Decepticons. The Decepticons don't fight fair. And they didn't come to earth to conquer, so they have no intention of fighting a war. They're attacking oil rigs and hydro electric dams, not military facilities. If they ever fought the humans, maybe the humans could have killed one. There's plenty of media, the most recent movie, some comics, that give plenty of credence to the idea that humans can hurt Transformers.

Because they're bloody robots IN DISGUISE. Only way to nuke them is to nuke all of your own cities. That and being that they're so advanced, they could probably detect and stop most long range missles. That doesn't require any godlike abilities. And having an entire competing group, the Autobots, from day 1 doesn't qualify as Deus Ex Machina. Xard, I really hope you're never in power if your solution to everything is nukes.

I should be given the choice of beating her and telling her nobody else will love her for how fat she is.

Not if it's a shoulder button.

I always considered a tie in music video. It would have been an MC Hammer song. Can't remember which specific song I had in mind for the life of me, anymore.

**** some of these other games, I'm playing Final Fantasy IV. And Condemned.

Someone requested these a while back, here they are. Personally, I'm very proud of Issue 1. Issue 2 couldn't work the way I wanted it. There was supposedly an exploit where you could kill shopkeepers using a banished summoned infernal that broke control, but it didn't work, so I had to come up with another plan. The last panel was going to have the shopkeep dead on the ground with an Infernal filling in for him. Issues 3, 4, and 5 were scripted, but never made. They all required assistance from friends to make and I had trouble coordinating appropriate people. Issue 3 was to feature Razael daydreaming about the questgiver and how she might be a beautiful Night Elf who wants him, and brings along all of her sisters. Then at the apex of his fantasy, he gets ganked and spit on by Horde. Issue 4 was him putting together a group, talking to a pair of Gnome Mages. One runs off into the background where he tries to take on a Horde and gets killed. The main humor would have been from how Razael talks in a very roleplayed manner, while the Gnomes keep asking him why he talks funny in typical internet lingo and the occassional leetspeak phrase. The conversation in the foreground continues until the remaining Mage blinks away noticing the Horde and Razael is left to die. Issue 5 was to be completing the actual quest. Starting off with a brief rundown of what was required, ending with meeting the quest turn in woman, Razael going into fantasy mode again (where he imagines himself as a tall handsome human) and mistaking her giving the ring quest reward to him as a marriage proposal. The fantasy and reality would be contradictory in that in the fantasy, he says to her "I can't be held down to one woman" whereas in reality he simply blurts out "I do."

This is proof I don't have them mixed up. Gnomes are pure evil, but that shows a level of intelligence Halflings aren't capable of. They're too stupid to be evil.

I saw it twice.

All I'm saying is Halflings are trash and should be murdered whenever encountered. They have it coming. Gnomes are pretty cool. Unless they're Halfling disguised as Gnomes to escape the culling.

Someone with their hands bound and/or is starved to weakness. I suppose. The whole thing is wierd. For six weeks it never dawned on him to yell "Hey, Im over here locked in the shed." what with neighbors and whatnot right outside. Or, I dunno, easily kick the entire side off. Even a decent running start would probably do it. I mean, Im not faulting the kid for dying, but still, doesnt seem like you need to be McGeuver to get out of a shed. Come down to Texas and we can run an experiment.

They probably played too much Manhunt 2, imo. But yeah, I'd say it sounds pretty ****ed up.

Yes. They sugarcoat a few things and omit a few others, but I know the truth.

Whatever gaming group you are in that portrays halflings like that is definitely screwed in the head. In my experience, my gaming group portrays halfling as intelligent, grim, and with a sarcastic wit. When I play halflings I usually make them as wizard/rogues, and as a DM the more competent baddies that give the party a run around is often a halfling. Nearly took out the entire party with a single halfling. Mind you she was a halfling ghast, but still. In other words, you have Halflings confused for Gnomes. Gotcha, you play with Gnomes.

You're focusing on presence as opposed to focusing on absence.

Yeah, and Optimus is a real big rig. It's a disguise! He's short, merry, and is a complete idiot. Sounds like he's actually a Halfling to me. Then you don't know halflings. I know all about Halflings. They're ugly, stupid, merry (which goes along quite well with stupid), drunk, smelly, fat, lazy, useless, and selfish. Why if the world were coming to an end, the Halflings would just be drinking, dancing, and smoking while everyone else actually tried saving it. They're probably too stupid to get in when it's raining, too. There's the odd exception, one occasionally becomes slightly smart. But that usually drives their little brains into a crazed homicidal rage.

you would... Have him in your party the next time you go to and your opinion of Mr. Gnomehands might change. His reaction to is probably the most touching moment in the game. Unless he kills himself, too, NEVER. Only good Halfling is a homicidal Halfling. If it isn't killing, it best be dead itself.

Well, your argument is the same principle as Heisenburg in this case. You're speaking difficulty measuring, not physically impossible. Which means it's not impossible, just highly unlikely, and impossible to verify. I would think the more difficult, and possibly what would make it impossible, is if the volume held by a glass is not evenly divided by the volume of water molocules at that pressure. Captain Kirk

Sounds like I should be able to run it on my PC. But, I may be getting a 360 by the time this is released anyway.

Leave Heisenburg out of this. It's possible to achieve. Just not possible to verify. edit: tale

I dislike careful planning in that it encourages min-maxing. With random elements things get mixed up, more adventurous. One player could end up with a relatively incompetent wizard and I prefer games were people are okay with that. Not ones where people are obsessed with being the most maximumly effective character they can be. I can't stand games with people who are obsessed with nothing but winning and are unwilling to do something strange or funny just to see what happens. The more serious a person is about winning, the more I want to stab them in the eye. My Halo co-op gaming often ends up with us occasionally "accidentally" shooting each other in the back and laughing it off with more beer. My Counter-Strike gaming usually ends up with either me running around and knifing everyone or using silenced pistols and smoke grenades while yelling NINJA! And my Neverwinter Nights games ocsassionally ended up with a group member Halfling dead and me shrugging while saying "not my fault." When they ended elsewise, it was usually me hit with a lightning bolt and killed for trying to arrange such an accident.

Music is for hippies. Just saying. Please don't hurt me, hippies.

Bazookas couldn't even knock out a T-34! You'd just be trying to stagger him, to support the M-1 Abrams Autobot.
