I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I dunno, do fans of Dead Space and DA2 overlap much? I can't imagine buying Dead Space 2 full price to get some armor. ignoring for a moment that ea don't own minsc and boo, am curious to hear what peoples thinks would be the relative costs to add unlockable characters (with dedicated vo resources) versus adding some goofy armour. HA! Good Fun! Ignoring for a moment that a crappy armor won't make me buy Dead Space or DA2 before they hit bottom prices, am curious to hear why they though that an armor would work. VS a fully developed module.

Or they could just stop these shameless self promotions and actually make a case for buying their games other than a crappy armor that I can do without.

Is it a bad thing that we suck at flaming? That just means that we are too polite to even conceive a proper flaming, or we just suck at it.

Contains cursing so possibly NSFW. One thought: :woot: I second it :woot:

Probably because you are missing your legs nah, you're right this was just a sketch. Didn't have much time to work on it. Sad part it's that apparently this it's going to be my homework for the rest of the quarter (aside from the actual homework) So I better get used to running up to strange people and drawing them.

I think it's a bevot gorgets were made of steel and leather not plate. IIRC

And as I promised here it is a week later. Sorry about the bright spots; damn scanner. Tried really hard not to make you look like Ted Kaczynski.

There be a ****storm a'brewing.

At one point they have to realize that repetition destroys a concept. How many armors before I don't care? Worst case of it ME2, there was one armor for every pre-order from a distributor. The lot of which were useless and worst had no customization, so what's the point? Cherry on top?

Blood Dragon armor vs. Sir Isaac armor. Which it's uglier?

ditto

And the point of discussion would be? I mean, we all know that there are people like that and from what I've seen we don't have much of it here (excluding our few lunatic residents)

And I began a new diet called "20 push ups for every time you get hungry" works wonders.

Monopoly's the game Wals, it's not like it's the first time something like this happens.

I don't know what you are talking about, I finished the game in 125 hours.

Would had enjoyed more if they put forth more examples of games with non-combat mechanics. Just of the top of my head: Shin Megami Tensei:Persona

Yes there is a lot more to it. Including running fast for long distances while carrying very heavy loads. Being able to run without stopping until told, then fighting without stopping until told. Infantry is a VERY physically demanding business. I knew a lot of Women Marines during my time in and many of them were excellent marines in that they could do their jobs well and with professionalisim, but not one, not a single one of them could have hacked it as a grunt. Just as an example, you are a Marine platoon commander. You have been ordered to double time (that means run to those of you who have never served) over six miles of rocky terrain to relieve another platoon that is pinned under heavy fire. A Marine Rifle Platoon is roughly forty Marines and keeping with the percentages if it was integrated five of those would be women. Every platoon has one heavy weapons team (in my day it was the M-60e3 don't know what they use now) and every squad (three in every platoon) has a SAW team. Everyone in the platoon from the commander down to the newest boot private carries their own gear, their own weapons with ammo for them, plus a spare battery for the radio or 1000 round belt of ammo for the M-60 or two 500 round drums for one of the SAWs. The women would be expected to do this too. Now they will have to carry all of this while running six miles over rocky ground then at the end of that they will be expected to engage the enemy in a firefight. Every male marine can make that run, they do it in training ALL the time. That is the Combat PFT I told you guys about. Every male Marine has to pass it twice a year. What would you do as the commander if your five women can't complete the run? What do you do if even one of them can't? Not only do you lose her but whatever assets she is carrying. You can't stop because there is a besiged platoon waiting for your aid. You guys see the problems here? I'm sorry but there are some things that women just can-not-do. Failing to realize that is just politcally correct foolishness. Don't take this the wrong way guys but 99% of you never served in the military. And unless I'm wrong, Gfted1 and I are the only ones on this board regularly who have ever served in combat. You just don't fully understand what you are talking about. I do not say that to be confrontational or nasty, it's just how it is. And if they meet all those qualifications, could they be allowed in combat?

Please, do go on.

No, but i'm saying that it shouldn't be used as an excuse to exclude a perfectly body able group out of voluntary service. Women are already deployed, there really is no reason for them not to have combat roles since there is no proof that they will in fact hinder combat capabilities. So we shouldn't give women the chance to join combat because they can bear children? Something easily solved by an honorable discharge or relegation to a non-combat duty (which may benefit from actual combat experience) The protective instinct you speak of it's quite natural and it's also true for men and men. Or will a soldier abandon a fallen comrade just because he is a man? If it was in fact true then it's something that should be investigated beforehand, a simple series of test groups could do that nicely. And what would the right mindset be?

DLC as an incentive to buy the game day one is a scam, DLC as a means to expand the game's live=

Maximum effectiveness it's hardly an argument, when most troops where requisitioning for a thousand and one things necessary for maximum effectiveness. Most notable; remember the US troops scraping metal to armor their vehicles. Very effective against IED, ain't it? Or let's recall the first issued M16s? There is no proof that allowing women may decrease combat readiness. Just a bunch of speculation about the "effect on the psychology of men" and whatnot. Fact of the matter is that there are women on our armed forces, that casualties do reach them and despite this they still have to deal with discrimination because of their sex. Not even based on proof. I'm sorry but if women have enough balls to run to the thick of combat, bullets fired, surrounded by mortar fire, and against order to save lives they can definitively handle the frontline.

This is why people shouldn't quote Wikipedia. The nature of Russia was a point of discussion with my geography teacher about 10 years ago. From what I gathered we ended up settling with the fact that Russia is Asian in some regards and European in others.

From Wikipedia: Personally I think that Peter the Great efforts to make Russia a part of Europe last to this day. But there are many differences between Russia and Europe, mostly geographical that puts them at odd.
