  1. Besides, Americans are united in not wanting Obamacare. Even Massachussets.
  2. We just need the Feds to mind their own business more. Individual states are perfectly capable of implementing whatever utopian socialist welfare state they want.
  3. Here's an article which explains what happened a bit better: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/27482/A...Edged_Sword.php
  4. Wow, what did they do to you for that much?
  5. It's claimed our cancer survival rates are a lot higher, but I'm too lazy to look up links.
  6. Three rules for making a Bioware game: 1 and most important: You must be able to bone everyone in the party 2 The plot must be written by a six year old right after he watches too many Saturday morning cartoons 3 There can never be enough inane, pointless conversations
  7. May be pot isn't all that safe after all: http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20100228/hl_hs...uppsychosisrisk
  8. Just wait till the ****ing LHC destroys the earth because Hawking said it couldn't.
  9. Try Mysteries of Westgate if you haven't already.
  10. I judge an RPG by how much interesting stuff it has for me to do. That's why I consider KOTOR 2 one of the greatest games, and even NWN2 (though fairly average) to be better than MOTB.
  11. Yes, I'm really glad Obsidian listened to criticism and changed the old box art. The new one is still not ideal, but a huge improvement.
  12. What our voters and politicians need to realize is that if we want European levels of social services, we're going to have to pay European level taxes as well. Of course here we always want to have our cake and eat it too.
  13. I believe that was what she had intended. Problem was that Araman killed Lienna (or whatever she was called) and started a little revolt in the Academy of Shapers & Binders. But not before she sent Safia. Since she knew you'd need the sword, she should've just sent it with Safia.
  14. This is what I don't understand about people praising MOTB to the heavens. The whole plot could be easily resolved if Safia's mother just thought to pass the sword of the Gith along with her, instead of you going through all the rigamarol. Then you just ask Kelemvor nicely for your soul back, case closed. The only thing else in the game are some boring fetch quests we've seen 1000 times before.
  15. Mostly I agree with you, except I'll point out you only need 51 votes for budgetary matters in the Senate. Of course you'd still have to find 51 sane people in the Senate.
  16. Your plan has more loopholes than a thing with a whole bunch of loopholes. What's needed is something that's politically possible. As nothing reasonable is politically possible, Stockman is right that we're doomed.
  17. If there have to be more taxes, I'd rather see a broadbased income tax hike. A VAT will just open a new revenue stream to grow the government, pretty soon it'll be 15%, and then 25%.
  18. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0210/33412.html An interesting and depressing article by David Stockman about the current financial situation of the US government.
  19. Stand up for the West.
  20. Information about Al Qaeda and what they were planning. This was also confirmed by Obama's intelligence coordinator, and no one actually denied it. The actual information is classified of course, although Cheney asked for some of it to be declassified.
  21. I think it's you who needs to provide the rationale for claiming he's a neo-fascist. I admire Berlusconi because he the only European leader willing to stand up for the West without the usual mealy-mouthed bull ****.
  22. 1. Only by my children 2. According to high government officials, they got highly valuable information by waterboarding Khalid Sheik Muhammed.
  23. I'm surprised you guys all missed this. The Reapers are obviously Space Darkspawn.
  24. I'll repeat my response to the Codex review from another forum: That is the design, long stretches of combat followed by a few decisions, which usually only come at the end and thus don't affect the quest itself, the quest itself being the long stretch of clearing out rooms. Edit: What I'm trying to say is the filler combat is not an accident, but endemic to the design methodology, an MMO trying to masquerade as a single player game by providing a few "meaningful decisions". Though perhaps not immediately obvious, Mass Effect tried to do the same thing, only not as well.
