This post just gave me the awesomest idea for a video game. A reality video game, as gamers play through each week the plot is being developed and they get the chance to vote off their least favorite characters. It will either be the greatest game ever of the biggest piece of crap on the face of the earth (AKA the Jersey Shore game) @Tale: I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. @Calax: There is no reason as to why every character should be generic other than poor writing. Specially since the best characters in ME were the non-generic ones, or at least the ones further away from the archetype. In screenplay writing they take as short as one scene to establish character, using an event or their appearance to tell the viewer "this guy is..." and get that out of the way to get on with the plot. The difference with the tv is that you have a longer time to establish and redefine your character, the guy who started as the lovable nerd may end up as the psychotic villain by the 4 season. Here is a BW redefinition, the tortured elf with lyrium branded into his skin that is trying to escape his master turns into the tortured gay elf that is trying to escape his master. Seriously is like there don't even try with some of this characters, but what's it's worse is that they make their freaking storylines character-centric when and create these cookie cut outs of archetypes. Whatever happened to BW actually writing stuff, cool characters like hk-47.

I agree, although I haven't seen BW to do anything on par with Joss Whedon. They obviously try but their characters aren't compelling enough, the twist aren't shocking enough, the plot's structure isn't really there. They are basically a bad "cover band" of Joss Whedon made up of fat teenagers now in their mid 40's.

Well the difference it's starking, you mean to tell me that the public's schools in england don't have criminal gangs? In any case peer pressure still applies, specially in gangs or small social clubs like you brits have BTW what's with the Harold Lloyd hats?

From what I can tell of my 2 year stint; there weren't so much as gangs as the expected social strata of high school. Interestingly enough there was a undisclosed, unconscious arrangement amongst as to what the territorial lines where. Goths would hang out in the same place at lunch, same for jocks and nerds were kind of left out to spread around. The most disruptive elements amongst where the recent immigrants and wannabe ganstas, the action that the school took against them was sufficient. Suspension all around to anyone who started a fight. But outwardly aggressive gangs are not the problem, the small introverted groups are. Which the school kindly "tracks" any student liable to start another Columbine, Americans are kind of touchy about that. Aside from that there was no effort on the school system to address those issues, counselors are just that in name and if a teacher doesn't feel like going out their way to reach out, the youth is left at their mercy. Verily an pathologically impersonal environment, which is a factor as why well adapted people may end up in these types of gangs. Crisis of identity, biological imperative, and the basic social needs of life that are ever present in youth, mix it all up and you get someone that puts up with a lot just because they don't want to be alone.

Become very familiar with the wiki, it will spare you a lot of pain. I'm the game IDK if I can blue ghost a lower lv but PM if you get stuck, I will send you a I survived Demon's Souls T-shirt. I'm doing fairly well. Killed Phalanx on my second try, but the way to him was not a walk in the park. I'm playing as a royalist and that seems to have been a good choice. Soul Arrow is really helping me. I want to stay away from the wiki as much as I can, but I did take a look on general stuff. I might have a closer look if I get stuck. I must also admit that I did look at some mage builds, not because I want to copy any of them, just to have an idea of how points could be spent. I tried 1-2 a couple of times but got burned by the freaking dragon. When I finally made it to the last part of the bridge, archers and blue knights slaughtered me. So I'll skip it next time and go for 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 or 5-1 next time. What you feel right now it's very common you beat the first boos and think "maybe this won't be so hard" but you are wrong. Plus you picked royal, so that's a few extra lvs of difficulty you just added, but really go to the wiki specially for the cheapest ways to beat the bosses. Stay close to the builds because they will help you focus on a specialized character to tackle all what it's to come. More importantly the wiki will help you get every sword and souls in your first playthrough, which it's a must since NG+ is much harder without them. Also the wiki will tell you the specific weakness of the enemies which will help you specially in 2-1 where if you don't know that a piercing weapon is the best you are going to have a hard time. But since you are a royal you already have one Oh yeah and the wiki will tell you of a lot ways to farm souls; do them, you can't get ahead by just playing the levels. Once you have enough souls spend them as quickly as possible. Good luck on your journeys brave traveler. Stay away from the blue dragon.

Well buddy thanks to you i have been listening to the whole Shogun soundtrack consecutively for the past day. I will now proceed to sharpen my katana and force my neighbor to commit seppuku for hammering nails at 8:00 o clock in the morning.

I figure that anyone that went to see Suckerpunch because of the plot is an idiot and/or will be turned off.

Personally I think that the same should be extended to the saner elements of the gang, those that are salvageable human beings. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that economy factors into this behavior but; are most of these gangs from low income environments? If so there should be outreach programs targeting those areas. Anyone who think criminal gangs only come from disadvantaged backgrounds has never been to public school. Only for 2 years, thankfully. Biggest waste of time in my life. But don't public schools have security and counselors to nip these problems at the bud. I know the security guards had me targeted, because of asocial behavior.

Is this for real? If so i'm definitively getting it.

Ok and what language is it?

This is the weirdest thing, I'm playing and i just found a box. A modern cardboard box, tried to see if there was someone inside with eagle eye but no snake.

As much as i'm loving AC:B I gotta say this "**** those codes and their lame hints, the ****ing symbol isn't adjacent. What the hell that means" and back to the game.

Well your avatar is romanian but you strike me as someone from a little more to the west.

Evangelion set off more epileptic attacks than epilepsy. BTW, what do you mean by "climax"
-
Environmental factors extend to the company one keeps, you take a youth gang to another place and they are still gonna act as a gang. Maybe what we need is a more in-depth study of how environment can turn someone into crime, has there been a study like that. The only one I know is the infamous "Zimbardo experiment".

So basically a reskinned Dragon age 2 with battles involving the legions of /b/, Bioware fans and Obsidian fans. The darkspawn could be replaced by a foray into the strange lands of Metacritic where you find the plot McGuffin of the mystical "User review" button. The Qunari could be the upstanding moral guardians who insist that there should be no gore and LGB love. With one choosing between Obsidian vs. Bioware for the last act, of course. Who are you and where did you get this cool idea?

Do you have tiger blood?

"Failure to Launch" "The Comebacks" "The rocker" "Yes man" "He is just not that into you" "All about Steve" Aside from the "Midnight Meat Train" he is mostly a comedy actor that has played a funny lovable jerk in every movie, but he is not memorable enough to care.

Picked up Assasin's Creed:Brotherhood, I'm only a few minutes in but I gotta say this. Watch and learn Bioware that's how you do a sex scene.

Funny, I always though of Bradly Cooper as "hey isn't that the guy from[insert comedy film here]"
