Wrath of Dagon

The connotation is correct, whether you believe it or not. Edit: May be you should read this: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/liberty-an...evin/1009207331 disclaimer, I haven't read it

Also unfair in that Obsidian had multiple shipped projects, while this was Eidos Montr

Oh, wikipedia. Tyrannos, greek, per OED. And originally had no bad connotations. Wikipedia says all that. But apparently the English word derives from Latin.

Innovation is overrated, I'd rather have a quality game.

If a judge ignores the law and rules against you, when by law you were in the right, is he not being despotic and oppressive? I'll quote from an inscription in our courthouse, "Where law ends, tyranny begins"

"Endgame autosave" is in the Causeway, actually. The final autosave is marked "East Forest". It could work if someone isn't the type to delete saves as they go. Good point, may be that's why they did it that way.

The way it sounds, we will take the Causeway to that new place. It's far enough from the regions seen in the original game to imagine that we can't see the various consequences of our choices, so I see no reason why it couldn't be set right after the game has ended. But the last save is just before the last boss fight, how do you take the causeway from there?

How do you play it if you already finished the game?

Tyrant noun any person in a position of authority who exercises power oppressively or despotically. Yes, an illegitimate ruler that rules by fiat, exactly what a federal judge does. I already quoted Sotomayor, also Bill Moyers to Sandra Day O'Connor: "but the Constitution is whatever you say it means". But I'm the nutty one, fine. Edit: from Wikipedia.

Pretty unfair comparison to AP since Square Enix spend a million jillion dollars making HR, while Sega could obviously only afford a shoe string budget. Plus Obsidian had no prior experience making action/stealth games.

Federal judges are not subject to democratic controls except by impeachment. That is why they have to restrain themselves from making law instead of honestly interpreting it. In modern history they haven't restrained themselves, which is why we have tyranny of the judiciary in this country. Edit: A tyrant is defined as an illegitimate ruler, look it up.

Actually it was the US Supreme Court, Florida Supreme court was trying to install Al Gore.

Government without consent of the governed is tyranny, there's no hyperbole here. Hyperbole As has already been explained to you by Enoch, the constitution does not assign direct democratic control of all parts of government to the people. That doesn't make it tyrannical. Are you even paying attention? I don't know that myself? And where did he explain that to me, and why would he have to explain it? It's like you're reading some other discussion, we're not talking about direct democracy, we're talking about an illegitimate power grab by the judiciary. Btw, to paraphrase Sonia Sotomayor: "Of course judges make policy. Oops, I wasn't supposed to say that"

Government without consent of the governed is tyranny, there's no hyperbole here.

I'd say he desperately needs help, sheer conviction alone is not always enough to convince other people (though it happens). Since, apart from said conviction, I'm not seeing the claimed connections between the dots. Also, to add the requisite entropy expected of my posts, SCOTUS always makes me think of scrotums. The pictures don't help. But is that guy Scalia quotable or what! May be living in your lefty paradise, you just don't have any concept of the US constitutional system.

I think they're just trying to de-emphasize the Al Qaeda threat now that Bin Laden is dead. May be there's also a more nefarious reason there, I wouldn't put anything past this bunch.

You only need as much complexity as impacts gameplay. In the case of ammo, the guns still all work exactly the same whether they each had their own ammo or universal. In fact IW had one of the most interesting collection of guns I've seen. As for other gameplay, universal ammo actually enhances RPG aspects of scarcity and choice, as I said before.

I don't think Alan Wake was even supposed to be survival horror. The T rating should've been a tip off there. It was supposed to be like a Stephen King novel in game form.

So now you're reading the minds of judges? How is it possible to figure out whether a particular outcome is "purposely misinterpreting" as opposed to merely mistakenly misinterpreting, or applying an interpretation that, although it may not agree with the one the reader favors, is nonetheless a reasonable alternative, given available information? You can study history and context, and you can read the tortured logic and the sophistry of the decisions to come to the conclusion. When judges choose to disregard democratically inacted law (which includes the Constitution, the supreme law of the land) they're being tyrants. I'm not sure I follow you. Of course Congress is limited to the enumerated powers. But those powers are broadly stated-- Congress is explicitly granted the power to raise an Army and a Navy, but they don't need a constitutional amendment in order to fund the Air Force. And two of those enumerated powers include regulating commerce and spending public money for the general welfare of the nation. The details of what is and isn't included within the scope of those terms are far from clear. The air force is implied, since obviously they meant to authorize armed forces, but there was no concept of an air force at that time, there's nothing fundamentally different about the air force. Even so I wish they would've passed an amendment, simply because not doing so becomes an excuse to make a complete mockery of the concept of the Constitution, as you just demonstrated. There is no authority to spend public money for general welfare, there's only authority to tax for the general welfare (meaning not their own, or their friends', or a particular state). They can only spend money on things explicitly stated in the Constitution, as 10th amendment amply reaffirms. The Commerce clause was meant to only regulate commerce, like states trying to impose tariffs on each other, or trying to somehow prevent importation of goods from other states. To say they can legislate on anything that has anything whatsoever to do with commerce makes the concept of enumerated powers completely meaningless, and government can suddenly do whatever it wants, when we know from history the founders meant to severely restrict the power of the federal government, as Madison reaffirms in his veto. It's like WTO claiming they get to run the US because whatever US does always impacts world trade in some way. Edit: What hyperbole? Do you actually have a point to make?

The problem with ammo in most shooters is that it's supposed to be a scarce resource, but if you run out all you have to do is switch to another weapon, so there's almost no penalty. With universal ammo, if you run out you really run out, so you have to manage it efficiently, like you should in an RPG. Moreover, the developer doesn't dictate to you which weapon to use by dropping ammo predominantly for that weapon. It's completely up to you to decide what to use in any situation, but the catch is the more powerful weapons use a lot more ammo, so you really have to make a choice commesurate with the threat you're facing, but again it's entirely up to you.

It's tyrannical whenever it purposely misnterprets the laws to suit its political agenda instead of honestly trying to get to the meaning, no matter on which side it comes out as a result. There's no ambiguity in the example you cite, taxation is allowed only for general welfare, not for someone's particular welfare, but whatever the congress does is still limited to the enumerated powers. This is a very blatant example of purposeful misinterpretation of the original meaning.

I liked the universal ammo and wish they'd put it into DX:HR. The internet would melt down from rage. It was a good idea, for some reason almost no one sees the advantages.

I don't like gross games, so it was good for me. Edit: AW also comes with a bunch of great songs as extras, including Space Oddity.
