I've gotten nicer as I've aged, sadly.

Problem with a lot of the schemes to prevent nastiness is they are open to abuse, as the investigations aren't exactly such. So you can get griefed that way. Heh, one good thing about user owned dedicated servers - admins around to boot griefers or harassers.

Cool story, bro. I agree that this is an issue. I'd like to see software/hardware developers take better steps to improving this in a proactive way. Mangling your post a bit, but I agree with that assessment of twitter. People can just drive by flame you, forums you tend to get more stuck in. May be the nature of the format and how that one liner looks on your screen rather than the twitter space For abuse in MP games, well other than providing mute functionality, what more could they do ? Speech recognition to check for bad words and auto-ban you ? Not a super fan of enforced politeness, even if you are forced to deal with mean people.

Hah, seriously ? Well for a forum, you can write more, is easy to moderate and I imagine it's not as naggy as Twitter can be for developers (though I assume this is notifying them on a phone in this case). Probably reduced contact as well, many people have Twitter accounts but not many will bother registering with a forum to blather out some abuse to a developer. Essentially is easier to be detached from the consumer.

Hm, her response was also kind of unimpressive, but can't think of anything better to strike back with. I still think developers shouldn't waste their time on social media like twitter or something similar to interact with their customers. Forums are good enough for that, no ?

Certainly could have been more cutting. "Whatever, ****ing moron" is pretty weak.

Well for one who knows what was said to upset him so, could be 'die in a fire for nerfing my gun you moron!' or 'I am going to kill you for this!'. First one, in an online context, is shrug worthy to me, the latter has more room to warrant further action. That's a pretty funny story though, Amentep. Good revenge on him

For the target, equal abuse back, I'd say.

Need some one that's pro-abusive comments, else this thread is going to get mighty boring.

PC Gamer fell short with 'too horrible to quote' to be honest, I'd like to see what nasty things people wrote to him to judge. I suppose insults stating one should DIAF or something like that shouldn't probably be made, so that is on the fans to be a little less vitriolic. If it's just them stating the developers are clueless or stupid or so on, the developers should just harden up. Forums self policing, well, heh, you can end up with a groupthink that way pretty easily.

In NA, certainly. Elsewhere, maybe not so much.

At this point, every answer to why it shouldn't be in or should be in has already been stated. I'm sure some Obsidian staffer reads this for a decent laugh.

Bah, that's not fun. Aim to get involved in a scandal where you secretly fund and supply some Third World guerillas.

I'm sure he wasn't a nice guy, in any case.

Meanwhile Canadians are grousing over those Royals taking our money

Well, you could differ between the two by one not invoking divine right or something like that. A slight difference I assume. Not that the Royals are any better than a cabal of rich bankers, though.

So those are ill-gotten then too, what's your point ?

Well, you must have been glad when you got the chance to kill him then. That really should be in games as a rejection option - knife to the throat.

What about France ? http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/07/is-the-british-royal-family-worth-the-money/278052/ They do cost the British people a negligble amount, cancelled out by the presumed tourist revenue, it seems. So I guess they're just like Guard Dog said they are, like a zoo attraction

The trailer is epic

Darn, too slow.

Is funny when mushroom management affects management itself, but at least it makes this hideous project at work bearable. A little.

230 million pounds and 3 soldiers, seems pretty good

Yes, and I would assume the same from a PM's son serving anywhere. As for a government just seizing land, well, they can do that if push comes to shove (and if they're booting the royals, I assume the mood will be anti-royal anyway, so who'll care). But ok, I get it, you love the Royals, etc.
