Wrath of Dagon

There's a control panel (the escape hatch?) on the far left of the area I think which allows you to escape while opening the door to the Jedi. You don't open the door to the tunnels at the door itself.

Doesn't matter how interesting the character is. Bioware's primary business is peddling automated mannequins for virtual sex.

@ Tale By and from aren't really important here. It's the same First Amendment principle. And the standard in limiting exposure to speech would probably be a compelling government interest, which may not be that hard to show. Edit: No. The state has the "right to protect children" although its more a "responsibility to protect their citizens" but in this case, the law breaks fed constitution, so even if this was "Don't let the KKK hold a protest on a brooklyn school's playground" the freedom of speech would still have it be allowed (assuming proper permits were given etc). Just because you think something shouldn't be said, or is harming somebody by saying it, doesn't mean that it is censurable. This blatantly is the Cali legislature trying to parent the millions of children within their boundaries. IT IS NOT THE STATES JOB TO BE A PARENT IN PLACE OF THE ACTUAL PARENTS. It's not censorship to make something available for sale, but not to minors. And no, you probably couldn't have a KKK rally at a playground unless the kids were removed first. I don't see why they'd stop selling anything to adults if they were prohibited from selling it to children. Prohibiting the sale of porn to kids didn't exactly make it go away.

It's not necessarily a First Amendment case, because the state has the right to protect children from harm and they don't have the same free speech rights as adults. The reason I distinguished between the legitimate powers of the state and federal government is because you lumped everything under "government go away" rubric, which you happened to leave out when you quoted me.

Actually the City Elf origin still has too much filler combat. I was playing that and thinking "After all this time, could Bioware not come up with something other than clearing out room after room? Hopefully it's just because this is a tutorial" Silly me.

Can you give a specific example of ESRB misrating games? I see ESRB get a lot of crap, but IMO they do a pretty reasonable job. I'm not sure what you mean by distributors. It would be the retailer who's responsible for not selling the prohibited games to minors, there would be no other restrictions on distribution of games. As far as the law being too vague, that could be the main reason the law is overturned. Basically every retailer would have to play every game and come up with a list of games that are unsuitable for minors. Of course, they could just take the shortcut of not selling any M-rated games to minors, but I don't think that holds water legally.

OK, thanks a lot, I was kicking myself I missed the biggest part of the mod. Dinner, I think your question has to do with the Droid Factory being always available. It's wasn't meant to be, you have to unlock it by Failing all that, you can just set the flag using the console.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Josh was the one who insisted Caesar was pronounced the way it is.

Most organizations prefer to select who gets cut themselves, lowering everyone's pay only makes it more likely the most competent will leave for greener pastures, while the deadwood who can't get another job will hang around forever.

Ideally you should let the market determine exchange rates, and it will in the long run regardless. The funny thing about US policy is that the Chinese are able to keep their currency artificially low precisely because US can't control its own spending and keeps borrowing from abroad.

Their spending power comes from budget deficits, that's never a solution. Speaking of which, it's scary when the Russians have a more clear-headed understanding of global economics than our own government: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101021/bs_nm/us_g20

If you're in business, you ask people for payment. If you're just helping someone, you're not supposed to ask for anything in return.

Being government employees, they're on the dole either way.

Being a powerful influence doesn't prevent them from being "speech" for legal purposes. The real issue here is that children don't have the same free speech rights as adults, and society has the right to seek to prevent harm to children. Not that that law would be the least bit effective in any case, as it's all really up to the parents. Edit: May be it would be somewhat effective in sending a message to parents that children really shouldn't be playing certain games, as so far that message doesn't seem to have gotten through.

Good thing I just got Enslaved. By the time I'm ready for NV, there should be a patch out, and Amazon will have a nice discount.

Anyone know if there's a way to set a flag to let you do the droid factory? I'm too late in the game to

It's not a question of "government go away", it's a question of what the proper role of government should be. Also under the federal Constitution, the powers left to the states are less restricted than the powers allowed the federal government, and this is a question of the constitutionality of a state, not federal, law.

Hm, I tried to play Perfect Dark when they re-released it, but found it so primitive it's virtually unplayable. Yes Halo did make you run through corridors in both directions towards the middle of the game, the reason being they run out of time to make more content. And yes, the alien spaceship level could get kind of boring, and everyone seems to hate the Library, although I thought it wasn't bad as a change of pace. But there were also many great and seemingly original levels, I'm surprised someone wouldn't like them, but to each his own.

Yes, or most shooters for that matter. That's not the only reason, but it's sure a nice bonus. Actually flood is OK in small doses, but it was way overdone in 2 and 3.

Halo 2 and 3 more or less sucked. If you don't like Halo 1 though, there's no help for you. Anyways, Reach is an improvement in almost every way, except they can't capture the spirit of the original. True, the narrative so far is just a series of assignment, but IMO story isn't that important in a shooter, unless it's really annoying, which this one isn't.

Hahahaha. What's wrong with it?

Halo Reach. Really has to be one of the best shooters ever so far.

Neeshka is Mission spelled backwards.

Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Barak Obama, the recipients of "We really, really hate George W. Bush and glad you're not him change and hope prize."

The only significant bug I encountered repeatedly was that cover didn't work properly maybe half of the time. Which was exactly the same for Mass Effect 1. Yet compare the scores for those two.
