I had a business meeting today, I'm going to be doing a bit of product development for while. Strangely enough I didn't became nervous until after the interview, usually normal people get nervous before. What is wrong with me?

Girl. Yep, she is a brick house indeed. On another point, why the hell all threads about BW degenerate into the same thing? "Who is romanceable?" "Is the game going to suck?" " [insert BW game here] sucked so this one is going to" "No that game didn't suck this other BW game sucked more" Vol spawns and says something crazy. Is like if a vicious cycle had an affair with infinite regression.

"Yes, that dress does make you look fat"

No, it means that when you're 30 you finally get your priorities straight and don't sweat the small stuff. (Unfortunately most of those priorities are bills)

Its the same girl on all pics, and she is not showing any of the signs of steroid use. Also, women can gain definition and some bulk it just more difficult for them to have muscle gains. The girl in the pic seems cut not bulky.

ME1 guns all had recoil, so be they future guns or not, they worked on the same principle. ME1 had a more complex gameplay design, which was fun to a lot of people including me, ME2/3 stream lined all that out and what you got was a generic shooter. It's basically the same thing people complained about in DA:O, that it was nowhere near as complex as BG. They were railguns that worked on the mass effect principles, technically they shouldn't have had recoil. Still I enjoyed the system as it was, it lent itself to a futuristic feeling because guns didn't work the same way.

ME2 had better combat imo because it was more responsive and frankly lifted the cover mechanic from GOW that it needed. Great combat. But ME1 is the better game. I don't know if I can enjoy the wack a mole style of ME2, to be honest I thought that ME3 did a better job of creating a more dynamic cover environment so you weren't restricted to a stationary strategy.

But its not the sharpness of their claws that is dangerous, from my experience wounds caused by fingernails tend to fester badly if not threated immediately and correctly. Lots of nasty germs under those fingernails, personally I prefer to get hit by a strong punch from a man than getting scratched with poisoned fingernails. I guess i'm lucky I still have my scrotum then.

Then how would you handle hardware upgrades, by sending the console to a store so they can change the parts? Also with complexity comes more problems, with the PC a quick search on some forums will usually yield results. But with closed box it becomes more complicated to fix, so basically this console pc hybrid would essentially be a Mac. The leap from current gen to next gen isn't so big that they couldn't have developed their architecture with backwards compatibility. They just don't want to support it. But whatever, I can still play BG2 on my PC which by now is 3 gen old (BG2 not my PC). No skin off my back if consoles don't want to prolong the life of their products. Edit: It just occurred to me, point of clarification: are we talking about consoles playing games in its hard format or just the software?

The major appeal of consoles over PC is that they're meant to be less complicated (e.g: pop in the disc and play) I don't think that they would be willing to actually deal with choices, much less deal with manual installation. Although as consoles become more and more complex I see them eroding, as they are a bad PC and faced with two choices of equal loss but one that has more gains players will no doubt choose the one where they stand to gain more. (Unless publishers all out refuse to support PC) On backwards compatibility; it is very possible now since all it takes is a simple shader algorithm to update the graphics. There are no major changes in a console generation that would prevent them from playing previous gen games but then publishers wouldn't get to re-release HD packs. For a second there I thought that you were talking about mixing the pc and xbox online gaming, they actually tried to do that but desisted as it was unfair to console peasants who could not survive against the superior mouse and keyboard. Edit: A little light on Microsoft and their views on backwards compatibility: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/22/4355984/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-backwards-thinking-don-mattrick

Me too, which is why I don't get the hate. People have differences of opinions

When you say unified xbox/PC, what exactly do you mean?

I'm at the same time afraid and curious like hell thinking what kind of book Bethesdas writer/writers could make Can't we worse than the Fable 3 novels, as if the game wasn't bad enough.

If you want a book that will make you swear off reading try "War & Peace" or anything by Dostoyevsky, with any luck you won't need counseling afterwards.

She can beat my mountain. (gently) She could joust with my wood. She could sheath my longsword. We could cross blades

Are you familiar with Sturgeon's response to that same claim about science fiction? I will admit some ignorance of fantasy writing, most what i'm familiar with comes from D&D or some other similar source. Whereas I'm more familiar with science fiction and can name some great works of the genre. For fantasy however, the great names are not the ones that come first to mind probably because their work usually is not high fantasy. But Gaiman, Pratchett and Martin are good fantasy writers whose work I enjoy. I still think that high fantasy is crap.

Yeah, I know. It's just his self-congratulatory "I thrive on anguish, I'm a serious writer!!" pabulum that is irritating. Dude, you wrote video game tie-ins with the skill of a 12th grader. Get over yourself. As someone who grades a lot of writing, I'd say you are exaggerating greatly. Gaider's work is pretty average for the genre. The genre sucks

At first I was confused about Moffat, but then remembered that the Doctor is now being played by an older man most fan girls will not want to touch themselves thinking about. I love the Internet. You underestimate the Doctor's fangirls, the new Doctor will be sexy like that erotic novel "50 shades of grey hair"

dance-off

Heh, I'm expecting the exact opposite to happen. Wii sold a lot because it was attractive to many less enthusiastic gamers, I know people who got it just as party toy. I'm not sure they are that eager to swap it to newer model, unless it gets some mega popular party game that they just have to have. They have changed their policies, they are acquiring a lot of third party developers which means exclusives and they have the lowest manufacturing cost. It just feels like they are a safe bet when both Microsoft and Sony are trying to go big and may end up failing big as well.

Maybe it's just the logic of some activated abilities that its wrong, parry mode its an example of it (although one could argue that it signifies a change in stance and intent in the character towards defense) but on the other hand I would think spells are definitively activated (since they're cast) I get the feeling that some of those abilities were made into activated to counter an overall lack of activated abilities in a class. Also, they are a good way to engage the player in combat since their input determines the outcome.

I don't know why but I keep thinking that the WiiU (funniest console name ever, BTW) will come ahead on this gen.

Maria, have you ever considered a career as a loremaster? You'd be good at it

Xbox 360 seemed to be a success, though I don't know how much money they lost because of the "three rings of death" issue. It seems that for every unit they sold they had to replace at it least once,not to mention repeat cases(which explains their earlier losses) . Still, by the end they were on top of the market despite hardware setbacks. But with this current gen they don't have the factors that gave them an edge on the previous one; for one both systems are being release around November with a similar price tag and MS doesn't have enough exclusive titles to tip the scales on their favor. Add to that the scandal over DRM measures, always online, no used games, ect, ect.. which hurt their PR and it seems doomed to failure. Though I think ValueAct might be just fulfilling their own prophecy.

I think yes, since DAI will have a lot to do with the Fade, maybe we'll get the chance to explore the Golden City? Hope they don't use cheap shots like "The Maker is eeeeeeeevil" or something. I dunno, I think it would be interesting to see a game world with a monotheistic religion take on something like the problem of evil. They don't have to make the Maker evil, just have them not be good in the traditional sense I get the sense that most deep themes have already been touched upon in games, nowadays I prefer interactivity or an author's perspective rather than trying to present a theme from all angles. The Maker hasn't been central to any of the games yet, I'm kind of against demystifying especially something that hasn't given the proper treatment. The Fade hasn't been explained either, I'm just hoping they steer away from the lazy "usual suspects" explanations. Such as the collective unconscious or something like that.
