Let's see if the effect increases if we put the words together: 'Feminist Crevice on Non Dairy Spread'
-
This may surprise you, but I've heard the word so often that it now has all the quango of 'non-dairy spread'. Ok, then non dairy spread

Maybe they're just trying to make it more accessible for a modern audience, those old school games were deeply rooted on their PnP counterparts and they didn't always transfer well into the medium. Considering that kickstarter backed projects have gained some traction and notoriety they may want to target new people that come in without having an RPG background. Also Nostalgia glasses.

But we have died a little bit in the process, remember that just because we have gone limp doesn't mean we're relaxed.

YouTube is just covering themselves against legislation from corporations, the copyright holders are protecting their investment. Even if the situation is a bit reminiscent of a feudal lord shaking down farmers for their pocket change. Eventually they will find out that they have just shot themselves in the foot when everyone moves elsewhere.

You are getting it mixed up with the Bioware version. I can see how you could do that. Obsidian has done sequels for enough Bioware games. The Obsidian version though has a slight difference: you don't play as the sexually-baffled dwarf but as the last hand-crafted piece of sculpture made from living yoghurt on an existential journey of self-discovery. One way of finishing the game is to allow yourself to be eaten by an orphanage of starving children. And your Nana is one of the companions.

Yeah. I'd say this is pretty accurate portrayal of a full fledged codexian: It is rather a churlish site. Prefer RPGWatch myself. I'm with you there buddy.

Jersey Shore Edit: Forgot you're British. Geordie Shore Unless you are actually in Geordie shore, and think the people in Geordie shore should be destroyed, then that's not exactly relevant. ;p Good case for eugenics though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I was told (so it's likely to be wrong) the arguement is that LP's generally fall under Commentary, Satire and Review, which would be fair use. EDIT: It's a ridiculously bad idea to mess with Let's Plays anyway, since 90% of my game purchases are based on "I saw an LP of a game that looked fun" and I'm not the only one (for example, the only reason Amnesia was remotely successful is because there were a lot of videos of people getting their pants scared off on YouTube). Technically, fair use covers excerpting certain elements of a work in order to comment about it. The late Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel could use clips of movies in their review show to give context to their review, but they couldn't show you the movie on tv commenting on it the whole time without having arranged to broadcast the movie. Similarly shows that did provide commentary (MST3K, for example) did so on public domain movies or else with the rights holder permissions to broadcast the copyright work. I'm a bit curious if people who made "Let's play" videos would be okay with someone capturing them all off YouTube and putting them on their own website? Would it matter if the creator was credited? Would it matter if the "someone" was making money off people going to their website (off the videos others made)? But Video Games are not movies, it is like one of the point that TB brought up: each playthrough is different. Videos of someone playing a game are akin to videos of someone playing a guitar or using a brush to paint, but you don't see the guitar makers trying to charge you for every time you make money from their guitar. Because it is your guitar, you bought it.

So if I buy an album I cannot play it for an audience without the explicit consent of the publisher?
-
Trent Reznor is a Grammy, Oscar winning badass mofo. I remember when he went independent and gave out his album for free, doesn't seem to have hurt him. But that's the different of the artist and the publisher one wants to make art the other one wants to make money.

No repercussions other than having to live with a fetus in her womb for nine months, deliver the baby and incur any medical costs related to same, plus financially and emotionally support the child for 18+ years compared to the guy having - at minimum - financially supporting the child for 18-21 years. Seems an unusually broad (pun not intended) definition of "no repercussions". Both parties get screwed, in several respects, in this scenario. That said, you'd have a hard time proving intent in a case like this without the "condom buster" more or less admitting to it (or the busted-on-party creepily keeping each used condom 'just in case'). Ok, then no legal repercussions. Plus, you bring an interesting point of whether that parent is fit since it only used her child as a way to get money and had no notion of what the consequences would be. The only reason that child is better off with a neglecting parent is that the system is so ****ed up that it seems like a better alternative.

So they're going to lock up gay people on a single sex institution for years and hope that they reform?

Apparently it is still being tested and there some risk involved. Vasectomy seems safer.

The legal system on the US is very open to interpretation by judges, a lot of cases have been decided by judicial bias. So legislation should be put in order to prevent this, as we cannot stop judges from being biased in certain matters, we can limit the extent of what they can affect. Plus; this not enforced abortion privileges, it a legal abortion by which a father can deny his child if he doesn't wish him/her. Just curious - why do you think child support payments should be eliminated? Although ~95 percent of alimony recipients are female, only 15% of US divorces involve alimony. Monthly child support payments in the United States averaged $430 per month in 2010, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. I believe that the UK, New Zealand, Australia and several other countries use a very rigid 20% of income calculation while it varies considerably in the US from state to state. (I'm not going to spend tons of time digging down on this one so if anyone wants to chime in, feel free) 79.6 percent of custodial mothers receive child support award, while only 29.6 percent of custodial fathers receive a support award. 46.9 percent of non-custodial mothers totally default on support, while only 26.9 percent of non-custodial fathers totally default on support. The high rate of divorce initiation is not limited to the US. Approximately 2/3 (give or take a handful of % pts) of all divorces in Canada, UK, France and Japan are also initiated by women. I didn't check all of Western Europe but I wouldn't be surprised if divorce initiation favored females in the rest of the countries as well. It should be voluntary or after having consented to the birth of the child, because then they are responsible for bringing it to the world. Forcing a father to pay support to a child they don't want is similar to having them be fined. The assumption here that they committed wrongdoing by taking part on the conception, but it takes two to do the deed. I don't see why is only one party that has to assume responsibility. Thanks for the facts, I was only privy to the ones about the US. Neither does abstinence, that is the first thing that they teach in Christianity.

If he changes his mind later he can apply for visitation rights. Sadly this kind of legislation is necessary to prevent women who are cheating the system by willfully becoming pregnant without consent from her partner. (I actually know a girl who did that) Considering that in family court matters women seem to have the advantage, I don't see anything wrong with leveling the field. On the same spirit of that legislation I think they should eliminate forcing child support payments and alimony. Courts have made divorce lucrative for women (and for themselves) at any given down point in a marriage a woman has the option to opt out with benefits. So it's no wonder that most divorces on the US are initiated by women.

Yes, it is in development already since a long time and started out on moddb: http://www.moddb.com/games/kenshi It doesn't look bad to me, but I am following it since years and it feels to me as if their progress is really slow. Well people need something else to wait on while they wait for Overgrowth to be completed.

Anyone else thinks its sad that a comedian ask better questions than most game journalists? Even though he seemed to have hijacked the show (though I don't see what Geoff would had brought) he still asked a few serious questions and wasn't afraid to put developers on the spot. Which is something that game journalism has lacked since its inception.
