  1. Midichlorians are just an uninspired version of Mitochondria.
  2. So they came to take her valuables and then she just gives them away to you for saving her from the people that came to take them? I don't get that logic. Also, she didn't put out?
  3. I disregard the ideas at the heart of this series of tweets as a matter of common sense, not principle. Anybody who thinks gaming journalism's biggest problems are feminist infiltration and indie devs stealing exposure with their devil vaginas is ****ing stupid. So is, for that matter, anybody who seriously believes people depend on gaming journalism to "grasp a very large and confusing industry". I'm pretty certain that those two issues you mentioned stem from a lack of objectivity and a bad corporate culture, you know a lack of ethics.
  4. Never heard of the developer but seems like a solid project so far. It's good to give someone a chance.
  5. This makes no sense. First Lyrium is a magical substance that gives you access to the spirit world. It is hardly HNO3 or whatever. Secondly in DA:O it was just a skill Alistair could teach anybody, like one might teach any combat skill. So I am not sure what the basis of that assumption was. You did not get any scene of Alistair teaching you intense meditation or anything. I never get bored of watching people try to make sense of the whims of the fickle writers of BW. Really all BW universes work under the principle of "whatever we want to do, we'll do it" trying to rationalize it is like trying to make sense of comic book logic. It's a game of exquisite corpse, next guy that comes along wants to do something that goes against canon and does it. Canon be damned! But by all means, do carry on. Maybe I will see the birth of another "Tali's sweat" theory.
  6. I don't know man, I'm using GeoForce and told it to optimize for quality instead of performance. It set everything to Ultra, maybe is the RAM in your case and not the Video Card.
  7. I agree, in various aspects it feels closer to the comics plus Ray Stevenson is a dead ringer for Castle. Looks matter to me when it comes to comic book movies. I also enjoyed Thomas Jane's Castle though.
  8. srsly though, Gwent is fun. CDPR should've just made a card game with b00bies. So the Witcher is still a roll playing game.
  9. Probably borne out of anger but as there are few free industries left you cannot escape duopolies and you can only choose on which end you get shafted on.
  10. Steam is Auschwitz
  11. When the story becomes more popular than the facts, print the story.
  12. That's ****ed up and PC master race.
  13. No come now Nonek I find it hard to believe you of all people hasn't had a more moronic debate...lets be honest ? And I see you still don't get the argument on why hookers should be removed..none of the other NPC's in GTA are also victims in RL When I engage in spree shootings in GTA are the victims not the equivalent of the victims of real spree shootings? You're equating game actions with issues in the real world, so it bears to reason that what's true for one is true for all. Nitpicking at just the cases that make you feel the worse is the most telling bias of SJ; it is not about equality it is about emotion. Which is why you can't justify your subjective reasoning to people using objective reasoning since your argument comes down to feelings.
  14. Which I'm not doing; man, nuance being utterly lost on you seems like a running theme. I do apologize for my earlier outburst, but surely you must understand how frustrating it is for me to write about something and have you responding to something else entirely. Yes, I'm very sure it would be incredibly hard for the game to keep track of civilian casualties and have certain NPCs' attitudes change based on that number. Oh wait, it's a mechanic that's been a staple of gaming since, well, pretty much forever (PST sure had it). Perhaps you could explain yourself better, sometimes I write something abstract thinking a particular example which leads to misinterpretation. It would help to know exactly what you're thinking about. People have given you examples of how the game world reacts to your bad behavior, yet you seem to have something different in mind. Could you explain what you mean?
  15. And I think nothing illustrates her point more succintly than you honestly arguing that people being used as c*ck repositories, then shot in the head in order to save the player a trivial sum of money is a more positive portrayal, because they're "valued for their sexuality", than male antagonists being killed. The mechanics of the game are equal for every NPC, you take that away and you negate player agency. No longer will the PC be able to shoot women or survive their backlash, so for every encounter or when they're driving they should be careful not to incur the wrath of the godmode uterus. I quite frankly, like my games free from ideological interference.
  16. The Cthulhu variety or the Japanese one?
  17. Depending on who you ask, all their exes live in texas, and at least one of their Exes is Jesus. Athough it's pronounced Hay-Zues. I think you meant Eses.
  18. They represent ideologies.
  19. Wear long socks or training pants.
  20. Agreed. And that's not a knock on the fight. (the fight was actually fairly entertaining). It's just that The level of hype for this fight was surrealistically high. Had it lived up to the hype it would have had to have been the greatest fight ever. And someone would have had to have died at the end of the 12th round or something. But again, It's was fairly good, even if it lacked the Drama of Ali-Frazier or the brutality of Hagler-Hearns. And more importantly, it was *decisive*. None of that bad scoring, premature-stoppage nonsense that often plagues big fights. Instead, we got 2 guys with contrasting styles, who fought the way they typically do, and we found out who wins such a match up. And really, That's all I personally wanted from this fight. For the better part of a decade we've been debating the topic of "who would win between Pacquaio and Mayweather" and tonight we found out. And, a sidenote. Mayweather is a better fighter than most people give him credit for. A lot of people don't like him because they think he's "boring". But for me, I've grown to admire his style. His defensive skills are almost non-human, and from a student's point of view It's neat to watch him make his opponents miss by a mile....or by an inches....constantly. The thing is that his style doesn't win the crowd an it doesn't lead to any decisive victory, so people get to talk **** because it is unclear who won. Technical wins might as well be draws since no one will accept the judge's decision unless it gives them a reason to brag. That said Mayweather is overrated and the fight should had gone on longer, we should go back to the times of no round limit and have them fight until a decisive conclusion.
  21. You can't really expect reality to match that kind of hype, it was what I expected because I knew that it would come down to the judges. Which means everyone in the world gets to talk **** about who really won and how it was rigged. Please, begin.
  22. Everyone wants Pacquiao to win but he's been out of practice for a while and Mayweather has momentum. I still want Pacquiao to win though.
  23. You mean the awesome thing about Watchmen, right?
  24. Death of a loved one and revenge are powerful motivators in literature and good devices to move the story forward, a narrow view of it is the "woman in refrigerator" trope (Quite frankly I regard tropes as narrow views on plot devices that are distilled into bites of pop folklore) The reason a lot of women are killed to motivate the protagonist is that a lot of the protagonist are heterosexual men. As they don't seem bothered when it happens to men I believe the real cause of their grievance has more to do with gender rather than with the act itself.
  25. Yeah and the swings look like a pair of drunks fighting, it would be great if you actually look proficient at some point. I mean, after a while you should figure out how to swing a sword without falling forward and getting cut.
