On related news, miners are now racist.

Went to sleep and began thinking about how much my life would change if I were to turn into a vampire. Mostly it sucked but on the upside I wouldn't take drunken naps with weird thoughts. Cool concept for a story though.

Only if they're dumb.

Racter and Gobbet are awesome, that is all.

Because we actually did the sensible thing and told those oversensitive snowflakes to **** off, but they're still here. Look; you can stop it with snide sarcasm, we know that this is a group of people protecting their favorite hobby from an ideological takeover and since the feminist have been so confrontational in the past now every game that bears the SJW mark will be rejected by GG. They have no one to blame but themselves, had they been sensible human beings instead of professional victims that demonize gamers we wouldn't have gotten to this point.

You should put something else in the picture to give a sense of size, like a can of coke or a quarter.

I thought Duke left all that racism behind, why do the media want to bring that back up?

Are we going to start our own survivalist community? Because I would be interested in that.

The thing is that in a globalized market a country doing bad means that we all do bad in some aspects, I expect more artificial crisis will come in the future as corporations convince politicians that the only way to stop the crisis is by granting them additional powers in order to make the markets stable. So more TTP and the likes until the markets stop crashing or until someone realizes that the only reasons the markets are failing is because corporations have gotten too big.

"Amateur" song covers that are surprisingly good or outstanding

Still, my new favorite is With Teeth. -
I'm I remembering wrong or did DragonFall had the option to go back before you started a level? Because if it did, then they did a major step backwards and removed it.

Why is dumping your currency to upset the global market considered mature?

I don't know about PoE (I logged about 6h on it before I got bored), but in the BG2 engine, there's a lot of auto-pause options (on spell cast, on round end, etc) that most people overlook. I won't say that effectively managing a 6-man group without it is impossible, but it's something I certainly wouldn't be able to do. Without auto-pause, I'd agree with you. With, I actually prefer RTwP... In other news, I encountered another really weird bug with one of the vendors making references to a run I didn't go on, while standing right next to a replacement for said vendor that talks as though the vendor was gone... dafuq. yeah, but constant auto-pauses break the flow of combat, I'd rather have a full TB than 6men party RTwP, where you get to pauses every 2s to change orders, position, cast spells, etc. TB is fine with me as long as the party/enemies numbers stay small and the enemy turn goes fast. Nothing that I hate more than having to watch 15 enemies walk in slow motion towards your 4 party members. SR:HK seems to have good handle on it.

The first part is essentially Simon. The second part I guess you need to match the alien letters code that flashes up with one of the strings below. It sure would have been nice if they had explained it in the game. Edit: What Orogun wrote. Not to brag but I really didn't need an explanation, it was bit of an ego boost to figure it out myself. Congratulations, you are a champion of cleverness, truly a god among mortals, we are all blessed to be able to bask in your splendor. That doesn't change the fact that this should have been explained in-game the first time it came up. The first time you spend karma a pop up box comes up explaining how points are spent. The first time you enter combat a pop up box comes up explaining turn-based combat. The fact that no pop up box comes up the first time you enter a hacking mini-game is doubly as perplexing given that not only have there been pop up boxes for everything else up to that point, but also that this is the first time in the series that this mini-game has been used. It's not a huge deal, a minuscule blemish on what has so far been an otherwise excellent game, but it seems like such a weird oversight. You're right, particularly about me being a champion of cleverness but also about the lack of tutorials.

The numbers give you more time, then click next when you feel like you reached the best extent of your skills at Simon and watch symbols appear on the decoder and pick the correct sequence.

Yeah, establishing your own service would be a pain, but it's not like this due to the existence of already existing private services. This would still be the case even if those private services (like steam) didn't exist. What you seem to be complaining about is the lack of a public service, not that private services exist. Which would mean that this isn't an example of private property being a limiting factor. Private & public services do not exist exclusively to one another. Establishment of a private service(currency processing or distribution of goods) that was open to all or is personal is limited by capital, which is private property. So it is limited by private property. As to a public service for exchange or distribution, we can't really have that with intrusion from government whether that government is a state or a corporation. A public service CAN be established without the government. There is no public service that actually needs the government. What the government does is bring the violence needed for forced participation or suppression; voluntary public participation is still possible. A public service that isn't backed by violence is just asking to be abused. The threat of violence is what made society and its what keeps society from falling apart.

Capitalism sounds like a good idea until you realize that it only works when the gap between classes isn't to wide and there is mobility. Don't know why they keep arguing Capitalism thought, because what we have is a plutocracy that has been accurately described as social welfare for the wealthy. I think I covered my thoughts on that on previous threads, so I'll just say that systems are never the problem as they tend to be made with the best intentions to work under their circumstances. The monkey wrench its always the human element. One final note; people better get used to the idea of socialism as our spending capacity will soon not be able to keep up with production and some markets will shrink further decreasing spending power. Social planning to enable employment or to make basic necessities affordable to everyone will become a necessity as it will increasing taxes on companies and ensuring that they employ domestically. We might see a lot of capital outflow but with a boycott in place it would mean that the markets will be ripe for a takeover. Interesting post, whats your view on the gay marriage bill that was passed ? I tend to lean towards the cynical when dealing with politics, whatever they do they do for their benefit. Bills like that are good PR and help distract everyone from more important issues. BTW, hell of a segue into that question

BTW, what traditions are we going to follow? Cuz I'm trying to praise the sun but it's cloudy outside. Oh Orog I was watching the opening of the American embassy in Cuba and they had this festival and these Cuban dancing girls ...and oh my hat these girls were smoking hot ,,,dude Cuban girls are nice, you should never have left Escaping the Castro regime was worth it I'd imagine. Plus, we have a lot of Cubans in South Florida.

Good idea. Bills and alcohol go hand in hand. I make cups of my bills and drown myself in Scotch, they should really be made of better paper.

I don't like the final fights on either of the games, but that's because I dislike CRPG mechanics.

Bruce why do you have against us? You would really condemn us to a bad president just because you have to satisfy your ideological itch of seeing a woman as president? The system is ****ed, the people's candidate always gets buried and miscast while the two corporate circus freaks are promoted. I'm surprised of how American democracy looks like Cuban Socialism. You see my friend the real question is " do you think Obama has been a good president " ? Because Clinton will be much of the same and that's a good thing IMO, a very very good thing for the overall strength of the USA I have almost given up trying to convince people why Obama has been so good for the USA, history will vindicate my support of him But also Hilary Clinton comes with a wealth of experience so its not just the fact she is a women, yes that is part if it I won't deny that, its the fact she is equally qualified, if not more so, than any other candidate So the better question is " why not Hilary Clinton " ? I don't think he has been a good President, most of his accomplishments have been without real substance. In his defense I could say that indeed he inherited a great mess and that the system has been broken for years, it will be difficult to repair it in just 2 terms. But then I remember that he's the drone strike lord, which is what makes me fear Hillary cuz I don't think she is as nice a person. There seems to be this blanket judgment on drone strikes as them being a bad and unacceptable military strategy, I don't support this view The usage of drone strikes makes sense in lots of cases. For example there primary use has been against the Taliban in Western Pakistan and Afghanistan and questions are just ignored about why the USA deploys drones? The Taliban and its affiliated groups like Al-Qaeda don't fight a conventional war in Afghanistan, they wage war against the the Coalition forces in Afghanistan and then cross the border to Pakistan where they regroup and strategize. The current Pakistan government has no control over these Al-Qaeda influenced areas so what is the USA suppose to do? Just let the Taliban cross the border and think they can come back to Afghanistan in the summer...no this makes no sense. Now they could deploy ground troops into Pakistan but then we have many other issues like the sovereignty of the Pakistan government because even though those parts of Pakistan are not under the control of the Pakistan government its still part of there country So drone strikes make sense, there has to be some punitive military steps against people who want to engage in war against the USA and its allies in Afghanistan and think they can hide in some other country The usage of drones has been disavowed by people who use drones who admit "We don't know what we're shooting at". Boots on the ground gives more accurate intel when making a decision. Drones are precision tools but without the intel its like a butcher performing surgery with a scalpel, the tools are there but the knowledge isn't. Also, he's involved in a series of conflicts that he refuses to call wars and along that he has set a series of dangerous precedents of the President bypassing Congress.

No, I saw their sheep. They're surely Welsh.
