Which is creepier, the futons, or the loli dutch wives? the dutch wives are a few steps above the blow up dolls, I suppose that what's creepy about them is how attached their owners get to them. It's all creepy sad.

Gaider can't get laid IRL so what do you expect? He's a writer, somehow he has to express his frustration. So for the good of BW he should get laid.

What. Starcraft2 is dumbed down, cause unit pathfinding actually works now, so it takes less skill to play. The main campaign was, it was basically "you get this new unit, use it to succeed in this level" rinse and repeat for every planet. I remember where every mission wasn't a tutorial on how to use a new unit.

That's one reference which I really REALLY don't get. Me neither, but it's cute, in a twisted way. Still better than those anime girl futons, really creepy.

Just though that you needed a refreshment on what you're facing. If we never hear from you again I will know that the big evil corporations have sent hitmen after you. I expect that you kill them otherwise I might lose my respect for you Seriously though, I hope that you can keep this level of bravado once the half mark is past.

Think of it this way: How quickly and effectively did the community of gamers come up with ideal build orders in Starcraft II? Or ideal character builds based on the changes that roll out with a WoW expansion or patch? For all the planning that algorithm writers do, the community of users is always going to find inefficiencies that they didn't anticipate. The weirder DARPA stuff that gets publicly released is one of the things that occasionally makes me think that the hassle of getting a TS clearance could be worthwhile. Then I remember that I'm an attorney specializing a federal budgetary and accounting law, and realize that they wouldn't have any reason to let me near the cool stuff anyway. And handling classified documents is a huge pain in the arse, anyway. The problem is whether or not the gamers have perfect information? BTW are participants getting paid?

Well morning after has come, everyone still alive report. Now where the hell is that grim reaper...

mhhm you still be up against rich corporation with more resources than you and an expert team of lawyers. Counting with the chance that you may be able to go through with it, there is still the chance that they may win.

Yep. I totally agree. Entire genres of game have vanished: everything from squad tactical combat to flight sims because everyone just wants to make that one super generic game that will appeal to all and sell billions. Frankly, I blame Blizard for f'ing everything up. But eh, my only point re: BW is that they're not the only ones doing it. They're just better at it. True what you said, but the matter is that BW is the most prominent and outward about from all the RPG developers. I can understand the reason's behind this tactics, the economy is hard and everyone wants to sell. A wider audience translates to more bucks, for a lot of devs this means dumbed down mechanics and difficulty (e.g Starcraft 2) but in BW it has taken over every aspect. They went from CRPGs to Action/RPG and their stories have become more stagnant, the premises and major elements have taken the back seat to companions and romance ( ME2, DA2) which quite frankly is something of a hit/miss relation.

But is this a good thing? If BW wants to do crossover games then they should do them and stop catering to us. Also generalizing is not advancing the industry, I mean what if Spielberg decided to generalize on Schindler's list and add a little comedy? Eventually they should figure out what works for which purposes. Until then they are making a series of lukewarm games that are none too pleasing.

So let me get this right, they have gamers playing hide and seek/tag with this unmanned vehicle so it will learn from it?

The have their moments, is the lack of consistency throughout that bothers me. They can't decide between an earnest tone or a light one, what's worse they probably don't think that there is anything wrong with it. They haphazardly believe that's deep and profound, whilst they don't have any major unifying themes to tie their story. But that's a problem with a lot of games, I can already guess what ME3 is gonna be like. Prancing around the galaxy gathering allies, we are going to resume our romances from previous games (probably with some overly dramatic overtones of impending doom) and a few major surprises that are going to either make us laugh or cry. Just like any other BW game.

As a Cuban I can tell that those were rolled by a fat hairy dude named Esteban, and picked up by me. The only thing rolled in the thighs of hot Cuban chicks was mine

Can your fantasy make DA2 better and if so could I borrow it?

Yeah but that would mean that they would have to think and there is a strict no thinking policy at BW. Which has an "originality" clause where if you actually come up with an original idea your contract is immediately terminated, also games made by gamers for casual gamers are the worst things ever.

Ohh....are we supposed to be doing drugs too?

Your fingers will hurt less and less as you develop callouses on your finger tips Is my guitar a decent one? Seems solid and sounds nice to me but I know next to nothing about such things. I have the same, it really is a nice one. You just have to break it in to get those smooth notes, play until it relaxes.

I'm sorry but, why are we doing this again? I'm already down to my third glass of whiskey and second beer and I can't quite recall what it was all for.

You didn't, now come back when you are a poor sob that got dragged into the theater to watch that horror film. Sorry I meant to say horrible film.

What's the matter Trebek, not a fan of the ladies are you?

I take your George Michael and raise you a Gaga.

On the other hand you risk BW making a 180 on the character and you get Garrus as the first same sex option in ME3. I actually like that they are consistent with their character, aside from those with multiple personality disorders people should take such drastic changes in such a short amount of time.

Yes but the have a don't show don't tell policy at Infinity Ward.

Actually like more than half the people playing those romances aren't gay, otherwise they would be offended. Like the outwardly gay minority is, because quite frankly is all to socially correct. There is no awkwardness at the proposition, no taboo, guilty desire. They took out all the homoeroticism out of the romance, which gives me an idea of the kind of writer that they are.

So my usual weekend benders now have a cause. Neat
