Wrath of Dagon

No one as good as Carth, but then it's hard to compare game characters to book.

So far I read about 1/3 and it's pretty good, except for one event which was so non-sensical it made me grit my teeth in frustration.

The autoaim in ME could be turned off, or at least minimized.

I think most of that money were his living expenses. Great game, very clever puzzles, probably more clever than Portal. Didn't really care for or get the story though, probably would be better without the actual text, or most of it at least.

Supreme power does rest with the people, since in theory they can change any law or constitutional provision. In practice to change a lot of things it would take more than 60 or 70 percent consensus, which almost never happens.

My research indicates ME was a very troubled project from technical point of view, and at some point they just had to take what they had, polish it up so it was playable, and ship it, which explains its half-baked and awkward state. Amazingly most reviewers and players completely missed that and declared it a great game.

If you read all the quotes in Maria's post, the gifts are limited and quickly reach the point of diminishing returns, also not everything can be fixed with a gift.

As I said several times now, we already have a constitution that's very difficult to change, thus most states don't consider it necessary to treat the state constitution the same way. You have to pay taxes for one. Don't you normally have the right to keep the money you earn? do you even understand why the US is a republic with democratically elected leaders, not a democracy? this statement is an absolute crock. i honestly thought you were smarter than this. taks A republic is still a democracy, just not a direct democracy. And the republican government is only prescribed at the federal level, states and local can have whatever form of government they want so long as it's compatible with the US constitution.

I was talking about referendums in general. Fundamental rights are protected by the Bill of Rights, which can not be changed easily, as I already said.

Except that you're always going to have to give up some amount of rights to live in a society.

Lots of undemocratic sympathies in this thread, lets put the will of corrupt politicians and law-giving judges above the will of the people.

A tyrant is a dictator who rules without regard to popular opinion. Thus there can be no such thing as democratic tyranny. The danger of direct democracy is mob rule, not tyranny. There is no mob rule in referendums, since things are not decided in the passion of a moment, but take a long time and are subject to normal democratic debate. Also as I already explained, the rule of the majority is not unchecked, and the majority of state costitutions are not flawed just because they can be easily amended. A state constitution does not serve the same function as the federal one, most state constitutions are huge and deal with everything including the kitchen sink.

How is it a tyranical situation, unless you believe majority rule is automatically tyrannical. Fundamental rights are protected by the Bill of Rights in the federal constitution, which is very hard to change, as it should be. Most state constitutions are relatively easy to change, and that's because there's the safeguard of the US constitution.

Silly according to whom? What we have in this country is tyranny of the courts. Edit: A state can not pass a law that contradicts the federal constitution, thus states can practice direct democracy without danger of mob rule.

The website is presented through the lens of marketing, it would be surprising if it wasn't high fantasy drama. And yes, it is high fantasy, but you can't know if it's plain vanilla until you actually play the game. For all you know, it has a story worthy of Shakespeare.

That's right, who do those people think they're are, voting their views like that. Government should be left to professional politicians and preferably unelected judges, who know what they're doing.

I don't see how you know it's vanilla high fantasy before you've even played the game.

I'm sure there are plenty of great coffee shops, in fact you can make great coffee yourself with a little effort. Since you're constantly singling out Bioware for your withering criticism, there must be a much better studio out there you're comparing them with.

Who's that legendary studio that's turning out hit after quality hit that the despised Bioware could never hope to live up to?

As opposed to whom?

The satellite launching story was just cover and for domestic propaganda. Having said that, everything NK does is humorous, but what's more humorous is us constantly kissing their ass because of it.

Actually the test didn't fail, they tested a ballistic missile and it went further than it had ever gone before.
