I remember AP; everybody maxed sneak and kept shooting people from the shadows.

Well, you weren't around so we had to do with what was available.I know of Citizens United granting them the same rights as individuals, had you something else in mind. Come on now man! Do some lawyering or else us amateurs are going to keep speculating. Look up legal personality. I cba to look into the specifics of class actions, especially as this appears to be based on lex specialis. Hopefully one of my American colleagues will know more about the particulars, of there are some limitations in the act. Short version, a corporation is (and has been for a long time) a person in the eyes of the court, hence retarded decisions like giving them absurd "rights" based on it, too. Ok, I just finished some brushing up on the subject and you were right. It's apparently been going on (at least in the US) from as early as 1938. Also there has been precedent of corporations suing each other, so in my amateur opinion this will likely go to court unless they settle.

I am a stock holder in EA Surprising isn't it? Shhh, you'll blow your cover.

Well corporations are now considered people so maybe they can be part in a suit. Sill they probably need a court representative, although I'm not sure if the right to face one's accuser extend to corporations as a whole or whether they need to disclose the names of board members.

Well I have now lost all my optimism regarding the legal system...**** them rich folk!

Hopefully Alvane will be less of a block of wood this time around. I read that as Avellone.

Seems like EA might come on the losing side of this unless they can come up with a good defense, eg: "the singleplayer mode works"

Bards are underpowered in every game they're in. Ever tried playing a bard in BG1? They're worthless. I remember playing a pretty awesome bard on NWN2 and its expansions, there's also a few power builds that feature the bard on that game. Just how many games have you tried to play as a bard?

Ah, the original Matrix. The remake with Jim Caviziel and Ian Mckellen wasn't too bad but fell short from the original.

I'm being a bit of a slowpoke here but...Twin Peaks is awesome. That is all.

Apparently now is an entire Kingdom that Comes. As for the game itself I think it's interesting but I will not get it as I vowed to myself that I wouldn't if the horse lifted a leg off the ground. It lifted both.

Doesn't work on an IPS screen, amusingly. Had to boot up my decrepit old laptop with a dodgy TN panel to see it. Ah, okay, good. I could only see a faint outline and thought I was just deficient in some way, again. An alien in a tie and dinner jacket? What? I don't remember seeing anything.

Ah yes, the 3 dot thread. Where we discuss our feelings about the 3 dots, I myself was never a fan. They tend to leave things unfinis...

Yes, and the guy who said that quote was a fifth grade expel who made most of his fortune by being a major **** and stealing about half of his patents. Intelligence is a measure of how well one can perform certain task; although it doesn't mean that they're physically capable of doing so. I think this discussion is too focused on which is better rather than seeing both as just different approaches to combat. The difference is that one has more in terms of strategy than the other, so they can end up turning the battle to their favor but a strong opponent has the advantage physically. Personally, I think that someone with a high intellect will try to stay out of fights with muscly giants.

There are different types of intelligence(kinetic in this case) and just like a dancer can pick up a choreography so can an experienced martial artist gain a new style faster.

For video games that's usually because the focus is more on the combat rather than on the role playing aspects. I tend to favor attribute interdependence because of that, if two attributes affect the same value then it gives player more leeway towards building their character. For example if damage was calculated on of both dex and str it would allow player to make rogues that are useful in battle.

One stat for all damage = invest heavily.

Why do I get the feeling that Wals is a Tex Avery fan?

Effort should be rewarded.

You're playing TLR wrong, you don't grind on that game otherwise it becomes broken.

You mean the last one he moved without using doubles?

I don't remember where I heard this but it was meant to illustrate this very thing, I'm paraphrasing. When children are little they believe in Santa Claus, when they are teens they don't and when they're parents they are Santa Claus.

I like her better as a brunette

In hopes that it may lift your spirits a bit, Nep: The other night, I was playing Mass Effect and sipping scotch from a cut crystal glass, and I thought of you. No, seriously, it wasn't a low spirits thing, it was me coughing really hard until I got a piercing pain in my left temple. Looks like I'm still here and both hands are working, so a ok, I guess. I approve of your passtimes, btw. Maybe you just popped a vessel and is nothing to be concerned, either way go to a doctor. Now!
