I'll admit to having a bias, it's very frustrating to me that there are tax funded criminal running about against who you are not allowed to defend yourself and that there is little chance of legal action taken against them. I'm aware that there are decent people in the service, although at the same time I feel there is something very flawed about the system if a cop like Donner who had and exemplary service record and character references felt that his only recourse was to go on a cop killing spree. Plus, i'm disappointing that there were no reforms that rose from that incident.

Fireworks just burned a house on the other side of my neighborhood, luckily there was no one inside it, unfortunately the damage is pretty bad since the fire got pretty advanced. Plus the **** on this side of the block are still shooting fireworks constantly, and I do mean that literally. I took some sleeping pills, if I can't go to bed in the next hour I will start browsing the web for a rifle.

You know I think we can use LickedySplit as an example on the "The Science of why we don't believe on Science" thread. It seems he's is completely ignoring the situations in which these cases of police brutality happened, the circumstances surrounding them and all because he believes that cops are incapable of telling the difference between a perpetrator with a gun and some smart mouth youth who steps a little over the line. I think they can and that those situation happen because of they are able to make that judgment and they are both infuriated by the gall of someone questioning them and they have the leeway to abuse their authority because there are no great consequences.

They do the same thing every freaking holiday. Plus I regard any sound that happens after 12:00 AM to be noise and the cause to be deserving of extermination. Just think of me as the insomniac dog from those old Tex Avery cartoons.

So the big men with the big gun can't keep their cool when someone cusses at them? No wonder there are so many wrongful shootings. I often wonder about the statistics myself and whether the actually reflect the actual numbers since it's a bit of an honor system in which they have to be tried as being police brutality. There are cases which are either judged to be an acceptable use of force or that don't make it to court, so I wonder about their veracity. It just seems weird that in this case in which there were several officers involved not one of them questioned or stopped the use of excessive force and it seems from the look of other cases it seems common. So I don't think of a typical police officer as not being particularly praiseworthy or as much deserving of praise as any of us that goes around not breaking the law.

America has some of the worst crime in the world. Our police labor under extreme and constant stress in high crime areas. They see the absolute worst of humanity on a daily basis. Random cell phone camera footage is mostly good for showing things out of context. Half of the police 'brutality' clips out there are caused by idiots resisting arrest or just plain asking for it. As for the dogs getting shot, that can and should be avoided by using pepper spray. All police are equipped with it, shooting them is rarely necessary. Is asking the reasons why you're being detained considered resisting arrest? Or maybe not putting your arms behind your back because one of the officers broke it? Or maybe being face down on the ground, cuffed with a police officer's knee on your back is grounds to be tasered? I'm even surprised that someone would even try to defend those actions. If they are unable to cope with the realities of their job without falling into abuse then they should be declared unfit and discharged before the end up creating more criminals.

I don't, I seen what he calls 3d modelling and frankly I take offense. If he wants to make an attempt to fix that cluster**** that's the Gamebryo engine, I say : Godspeed!

The problem is that they are not which is why they know they can get away with it. So i'm kinda morbidly hoping for a case like the one Volo describes which makes all the way to the Supreme Court forcing them to finally make legislation regarding what the maximum use of force a police officer is allowed to use, in what circumstances its the use of force acceptable and what the punishments should be should they infringe upon the law. I know it's a little extreme but the reality of this stupid country is that a situation of such magnitude is what's required in order for them to address this issue, which it shouldn't be like that IMO.

Tonight whilst I try too sleep and i'm unable to due to my neighbors incessant firework display I will take comfort in planning different ways to shoot them from my roof using the sound of the fireworks to hide the gun sound. I seriously hate this fcking holiday and I wish my neighbors would lose their hands in a firework related accident.

I don't know? Where I live, the assumption would be that any citizen would let the police use their house, and if the citizen would disagree, that the police could politely do as they wanted anyway, of course recompensating for any inconvenience. Additionally, most people would rather go to the police than be bullied by any criminal. It's hard and/or pointless to threaten people if you know the stakes are against you, and we can only make this so by acting collectively in support of the law enforcement. So let's say for argument's sake that the police has a right to seize your property in the interest of an investigation. First, they had no authorization and weren't acting according to the law. Secondly, they engaged in coercion, abuse of their authority and other manner of illegal activity just because they couldn't be bothered to either go through proper channels or to search for an alternative. There is also an outstanding amount of case just like this one (and even worse ones) that go either unreported by the victims or that the legal action taken is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. So when the police behave like criminals and the law protects them, is it illegal to defend yourself against them?

I share the same opinion about Tolkien's work. I do prefer the occasional dose of pure black and white morality (as long as it doesn't take itself to seriously) It's a release not having to actually think about it and just enjoy it. Like in Fable when I slaughtered all those town guards that were obviously evil as they tried to arrest me for killing those villagers. If they didn't want to be killed then they shouldn't have asked me why I chased chickens.

If you had me as a math teacher, you would be screwed, I'm terrible with numbers I did use Expedition: Conquistadors this year in class, it worked out pretty well. I've also used Total War clips as unit intros, and I talk about games in my discussions regularly. Whatever keeps them awake My mother used to beat me every time I got something wrong, I was a nervous crying mess during exams but damn it I aced them. Can't argue with results.

You mean that game where you shoot and miss the guy standing just a cell away from you but hit the one that's a 10 cells away? Why yes I have.

No, the appendages become tangled and they end up just using their two hands.

If they are using Zbrush it may just be a 3D model with render passes.

We 3D modelers don't get out much.

Earning your law degree through games.

Ahh, Shut it!

I generally use the freeform graphite tools that come with Max, with the extend and conform brush I get it done fairly fast. Still doing an optimization is faster than a whole retop and seeing how fast Zbrush is progressing I wouldn't be surprised if retopologizing and UV unwrapping become things of the past.

Do you like BDSM? Sadly enough that's one of the mild cases of police brutality.

You can't plan non-linear processes like writing. Game writing. Yeah you can, it's like one of those Choose your own adventure books.

I regard Beck as the David Bowie from the 90's, the man can tackle several genres with the same level of great talent. Also, Trent Reznor he said fist**** and won a Grammy ...and an Oscar...and a Golden Globe.

Yeah, it's pretty sad when I have to go through these measures just to play a game I bought. But hey, on the bright side, at least this stonewalled the pirates dead in their tracks. Oh wait, no it didn't, it didn't have any effect whatsoever. I guess the silver lining of being forced to use a crack is that I don't even have to turn on Steam to play the game now. Anyway, Playing Jade Empire and loving the **** out of it. I even enjoy the little shmup mini-games. I want a sequel to JE so bad. I'm still in the very early stages, just started chapter 2. I'm looking forward to getting my axes so I can start cleaving chumps up with style. For now I just slice them up with my claws, Enter the Dragon style. I'm pretty much going full on closed fist so I get to be a massive a-hole to everyone. Good times. One thing really jarring about the game is how much crappier the movies look than the rest of the game. I know it's a product of the game getting HD-ified from the original XBox version, while the movies stayed the same, but it's so insanely noticeable that it basically slaps me across the face every time another movie comes up. I really enjoyed Jade Empire. Would love a sequel to it. Doubt it'll happen, though. It was a really novel concept, I really enjoyed the whole wuxia epic novel feel of it. Still I would like it if they fixed the combat system to have a little more depth than what harmonics had to offer with their insta kills. Also despite both philosophies being described as not good or evil, both the closed fist and open palm end up being just that.

As well as they should be.
