What you did today
I am not sure which one Wals is referring to, to be honest. We seem to have an abundance at this time. Always gets his shorts in a knot over oby, so that must be it.

What are you playing now?
Edge scrolling caused the game to ignore all my commands, turned that off and it works better. Paladin is a bit squishy, but I suppose I have a bad idea of what I am doing.

I am definitely not very good at PoE.

Yep, all that stuff is unlocked for me on the backer site as well as GOG.

Probably starting on Dreamfall Chapters, will give Cities a break (should also look into modding that). After that, I guess will progress my backlog queue.

What you did today
Hey, USA did reach Round of 16 in the WC. They do fade as a match goes on, I guess fatigue plays in.

All LC needs is a white cat, orange one and a grey one. Reservoir Cats.

Sounds like nothing's changed there.

Thoughts on Knights of the Old Republic
No, not like him, but through out the games you mainly encounter them being outright **** to people and using power that way etc.

Thoughts on Knights of the Old Republic
I guess you couldn't really sway Mission, she seemed the goody two shoes type. Granted, next to the them having watched you be a douchebag to people all game, that shouldn't matter (influence system works so much better). It does fit that in Star Wars, dark side folk tend to be pretty unsubtle in the evil so perhaps that is why Bioware didn't bother with you being a seductive corrupter.

Steam vs GoG redemption ?
Redeemed it via GOG, simpler for me.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry.
Your post above mine was aiming for the same point, albeit with more emotes. Not too sure how that was an attempt at cynicism though, is pretty clear that's what this whole affair is from any angle. Not that it is not without some entertainment though, granted the Twitter wars have calmed.

The Benefits of Streamlining
Best way to do streamlining is do it via options as much as one can, barring boring filler combat sometimes they cleave a bit of depth to the game or even the joy some people get out of the tedious tasks (I guess this is 'immersion'). Though I would get a laugh of a checkbox of "Enable fighting through tunnels".

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry.
Well, your repeated assertions of "I only really follow this whole gamergate thing because it's good entertainment!" and generally dismissive attitudes towards social issues tend to create that perception. I know that despite this perception, you're not an unfeeling sociopath, hence "facade". I'm not sure why this would be insulting, but what do I know about the subtleties of language, I'm just a dirty foreigner after all. Well if you merely accidentally included a meaningless jab at "my group", as you so charmingly put it (hey, it's almost like meaningless jabs are just this... thing you do, without even thinking about it!), I guess it could've been avoided by snipping the irrelevant parts of the quote in order to prevent misunderstandings. Well sorry for thinking the phrasing was meant to signify that indeed, the quoted part was the only really good part for you Argh, you're one of these quote users. That and this board's editor kind of sucks (to VIM this goes!) How is that a jab at all, though ? You've quoted the part you've decided to get your back up on and it is referecing a set that you identify with based on your activity in these threads. Yes, that was a really good quote to me, the inverse of which isn't 'bad' though - for which other than the crappy styling, the article wasn't. Isn't that stuff what this entire topic is about ? Generally people being ****, abusing sarcasm or trying to be edgy for The Cause ?

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry.
Ok, but your shot was about me presenting a facade of detached cynicism, which is wholly inaccurate and if you want to start bringing up posting history, well that is where the remark about you comes in. Easy to follow. As for the part I quoted, did you read all of it ? It wasn't harping on your group only, which you've got your back up on predictably, he or she is perceiving a bizarre stalemate and that one group talking about innovation is lying out of all them, the last sentence hints at that. As for cynical being a good trait, well when it comes to games, it is, there are plenty of liars in this industry. You seem to think that my quoting that part meant everything else in the article was bad, it wasn't, but that part stood out for me. The styling on that article sucks, occasionally it forgets to de-bold the questions. Well, you can **** right off too until you get a Moderator badge, eh ?

Pretty much ECE115 practices taken a bit further here.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry.
News to me that I pretend that here, recalling posts I've made over the years. Though it is amusing as reading your posts on people being condescending or being **** to others, but I suppose Bruce can't be alone in that area.

I kind of want Star Citizen to fail just to spite these cultist-like fans of the game (also the ensuing outrage would be amusing). But space MMOGs are always appealing.

Thoughts on Knights of the Old Republic
The interrupts didn't make that much sense either in 2 and 3. Hug Tali is..uh..Paragon ? Sniping a guy was Renegade ? Renegade does give that one defenestration though. What is wrong with killing Mission via the Wookiee, exactly ? To get that you've had to do 'evil' things to begin with. Only way to top that would have been MC'ing Carth to kill himself.
