  1. What specifically don't you like about it? I'm not a phone person, but still kinda curious as to why you think it's no good.
  2. I somehow have fond memories of NWN1's OC...but I haven't really seriously played it since it came out, and I actually just downloaded the GoG version of the game to play after I'm done with Earthbound. I'm expecting those fond memories to not be so fond after I play through it again for the first time in over a decade. I think I gave it a casual go a few years back, but didn't get very far. This time will be different!
  3. Yeah, and that's why Sanderson's work has never really lived up to Jordan's. Just couldn't commit to the job, I guess. [/s]
  4. Hah, yeah, I'm not too surprised that it was the case for ME1 - new IP and assets, they were still their own company when 90% of the game was made (EA only got them right before it was released)...so the real question is why there wasn't notable improvements for ME2/3 when they were under the financial umbrella of EA, and already had a lot of base assets made? But all that's ancient history at this point, I guess.
  5. Uh...I think those are all the same face. It's a little hard to tell because of angles and lightning and makeup AND animations, but all of them share the exact same nose (EXCEPT maybe #5, which is at such a different angle that I just can't tell for sure), all of them seem to share one of two lip shapes (and they're only a little different from each other, so much so that I'm not even 100% sure that they're actually distinct lip shapes...but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt - I think one of the shapes you can see that the upper lip is larger and more prominently sticking out like in #1, while the other shape is smaller like #2), and all of them seem to have the same basic cheek-bone, jaw, and general head structure and shape. So the biggest differences that I can see are makeup/tattoos, animations (how they're smiling or frowning and such - this helps give the illusion of variance), and lighting tricks. I think Amentep is really on the mark here. Liara, Benezia, and Aria (e: and Samara/Morinth, whom I already forgot, ) all had unique faces...but everyone else besides maybe a couple of other exceptions we can't think of right now, not so much.
  6. https://mobile.twitter.com/SlaterNFL/status/846512375729672192 "Tony Romo has taken situation very personally in Dallas and has distanced himself from teammates and coach who were "Team Dak" per source." YO, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LET HIM GO, GUYS do right by tony, my foot
  7. Isn't being "politically correct" more avoiding saying things that could be perceived as being offensive? Trump would certainly not qualify under that.
  8. The longer you wait to do anything you have anxiety or other types of misgivings about (for whatever reasons), the worst it tends to be when you finally get around to it. So if you actually have the desire to do it at some point, the sooner the better, as Gfted said.
  9. Yeah, someone said earlier "ME3 was perfect up until the ending", and I just sorta sat there and thought...huh? The utter failure of Kai Leng as an antagonist in virtually every aspect of design, the stupid child dream crap, the almost totally meaningless and poorly implemented decisions that were supposed to actually have an effect from all three games (such as the Rachni and Genophage that you mentioned), and the complete total elimination of exploration - building off of ME2 nearly eliminating it already, of course - and finally, the utterly boring and endless, repetitive drudgery that was the gameplay. The last one is my fault for playing on the hardest difficulty throughout the series, but goodness gracious, it's so darned boring. All three games had flaws in places - often different places - ...but ME3's were pretty front and center throughout.
  10. I plan on playing through Earthbound / MOTHER 2 some time soon, probably next month. I played MOTHER 1 for the first time ever earlier this month and enjoyed it, so I figure I might as well continue with the game that actually made the series famous. Would be nice to have one of those SNES controllers. 360 d-pads suck pretty bad.
  11. Until you realize every asari (except for one) has the exact same face with slightly different color. Good luck in-seeing that, because once I noticed now it makes it impossible for me not to think of them all as the same character in different costumes. That's actually kind of a problem for all the ME games...and for all races, actually. The party members of those alien races look unique enough, but everyone else looks more or less the same outside of a few minor exceptions.
  12. Oh wow, someone I'm putting on ignore after reading literally only one post. Nice. That's a new record!
  13. To add on to what Fenixp said, if you have an account on imgur, you can also delete the images at any time. Alternatively, you can go to dropbox, which works for image hosting as well as general files...but it isn't quite as convenient unless you're using a program like ShareX to automate link generating and such.
  14. I was thinking hitman, but that might be it, too.
  15. No. Assuming you're talking about imgur, they are "unlisted", meaning if somebody has the link to specifically them, then yes, they are accessible. Failing that, however, they do not appear anywhere on the site proper.
  16. You should use ShareX. It takes literally just a couple of seconds to take and upload screenshots. For example (video also made and uploaded with ShareX in just seconds): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/43xab2npzes8i2l/2017-03-26_13-42-37.mp4 (Alternatively, if you already have screenshots that you just want to upload somewhere, you can set up the program to do so. You can also customize end-destinations for different types of files or tasks - imgur for images, for example...although I just use dropbox for everything, personally.)
  17. For this year, more or less. Like I said, there'd have been a hefty dead cap penalty for this year...but if you sign your guy(s) on a 3 year deal and push their cap hits a year or two off into the future (which would be easy to do, and would make sense to do, because cutting Romo pre-June 1st means less cap space this year...which means more cap space in the next year or two, because his dead money would've normally been spread over the next couple of years instead of the majority of it hitting immediately like it would with a pre-June 1st cut). It being a pre or post-June 1st cut is not really a huge limiting factor EXCEPT for guys you might only want to sign for one year instead of multiple.
  18. What's weird is that cutting Tony Romo could've covered both Carr and Claiborne. Sure, there would have been some heavy dead money this year, but getting them both on 3 year-contracts would've made it workable. Instead, he's still being held on to on the hope of trading him, and free agency has passed the Cowboys by.
  19. Fall guys...for two games released 9 years apart? The former of which was way before EA's time? (e): I'm retarded: KotOR is not Star Wars: The Old Republic. Ah, they got me good. Carry on, I suppose.
  20. Given that Miranda had some of the same problems as others in ME:A seem to, I'm not so sure that's the best example to make...
  21. @Call of Chernobyl: I tried that for about 10 minutes before uninstalling. My idea of a decent S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mod was not to make the game into one giant warzone, which is what it felt like immediately after starting, with attack helicopters flying around and giant battles occurring seemingly at all times. Did not like.
  22. For Shadow of Chernobyl, you should at least install the ZRP (Zone Reclamation Project) - it's the giant conglomeration of bugfixes and minor features and changes that the Stalker Complete mod based itself on and (rather unrightfully) gained a lot of popularity for, except Stalker Complete is super outdated at this point. For Clear Sky, I don't really like Clear Sky and can't really comment.
  23. Still confused as to why LA was released mid-2014...and somehow they've been working on an update for the last three years. It's not like the project has been abandoned, either...but it's like they're keeping any and all changes to themselves until they feel "comfortable" releasing it all it once. I tried it way back when it was originally released, thought, "Looks like there's a few things they still need to work out, I'll check back in a couple of months," ...and now it's been nearly 3 years. lol @ winning "Mod of the Year" in 2014 before it was even released yet, and still sorta isn't
  24. ME3 had some music problems, too - probably owing to the departure of their lead composer, which lead to them recycling tracks from previous games.
