  1. Hah, yeah same here - I remember trying to hold my own in a discussion with Metadigital - and not doing so well... or just discussing politics as a young ideological Scandinavian on an American board heh Hah, yeah same here - I remember trying to hold my own in a discussion with Metadigital - and not doing so well... or just discussing politics as a young ideological Scandinavian on an American board heh Metadigital handed my metaphorical butt to me a coupleof times too. And the guys was the WoT as interesting as it is nowadays?
  2. Well I can say with sincerity that you have become an asset to this forum and seem to have lots of interesting views IMO
  3. no real problem here that we can see. as you note, the sjw aspect is minor, which marginalizes whatever problem could possible exist. furthermore, observing that the inclusion o' new elements in an expansion to a game released in 1998 as problematic is a suspect proposition at best. is few franchises that do not evolve and change over a similar amount o' time. compare evolution o' james bond, battlestar galactica, star wars, etc. a developer locking self into decades removed values and influences would be foolish. "piggyback issues into a popular game series that weren't there beforehand," is clear not a problem for any number o' franchises. in fact, one suspects that failure to do so would constitute a much greater potential problem. and if one o' the many beamdog contributors threw in a "critique of fascism" on the scale o' the sjw elements described in sod, we doubt many would be concerned. if the addition o' new elements to the series amounts to "shoehorning," that is a problem, but the issue is one o' skill. but again, the problem, if it exists, would appear limited given the scope o' the sjw element actual added to sod. as for why we responded to #s, we made that clear. even underlined stuff as we know #s has a hard time keeping up with us at times. swing. we responded 'cause your star wars example were non analogous and 'cause, as we has said multiple times, we ain't surprised 'by the idiotic and overblown reaction, but we is disappointed. am also gonna suggest you take your own advice and "get over it." am not just talking 'bout sjw fixations neither. swing. aside: "Not even the political agenda, mind, but the high-and-mighty attitude, which is what has rubbed me the wrong way." phrasing. HA! Good Fun! ps and since #'s wants to quibble, there is an additional person who got writer credits on sod: liam esler. swing. miss. strike 3. Guys I dont mean to jump in to other peoples debate and seem to be interfering but Gromnir makes a lot of sense in this debate If you read what he is saying objectively its hard to fault his perspective ?
  4. Holy Moly TN....that means you have been here for 12 years....well played What was the forum like when you first joined?
  5. You dont think if there was real evidence against Hilary the FBI would have charged her by now? You seem to foolishly believe the FBI has any integrity. Yes I trust the FBI, thats why I supported Apple assisting them with the backdoor access to there devices
  6. Why dont you guys just create your own game that has no SJW influence?
  7. You dont think if there was real evidence against Hilary the FBI would have charged her by now?
  8. Romance works fine in a Isometric game ? BG: TOB Why wouldnt it work in a Isometric game ?
  9. I dont get this accusation that she has an "agenda " If she said she only writes characters who are heterosexual would people be saying the same thing?
  10. Obviously Volo, she is going to win the election. But Volo its not nice to call people idiots just because they support a different political view than you, its also untrue and libelous I would support and vote Clinton if I was an US citizen...does this make me an idiot ? It is neither untrue nor libelous to say that Hillary Clinton supporters are idiots. First of all idiot is a subjective term and absent a universally accepted definition the actual meaning of the word is the prerogative of the user. Therefore it cannot be libelous because the pejorative cannot be untrue in the subjective sense. If he had said all Hillary Clinton supporters were child molesters THAT would be libelous. On that note accusing Volo of libel is itself libelous since obviously the underlying fact that the charge is predicated on, that Volo called someone a thing that was a lie is itself a lie. You might want to get a lawyer Bruce. Okay so suggesting you can't sue someone in the USA if you get called an idiot? How is idiot subjective....surly this is a negative word? First of all Volo is in Canada. They do things differently. They have this reputation for being nice and well mannered but all that means is the say "Have a nice day" after the f--k your s--t all up. The definition of idiot is someone who is stupid. The definition of stupid is someone who is lacking intelligence. Volo has an IQ of 240 therefore almost everyone is technically less intelligent than he is. That means 1) It is subjectively true that if a person of greater intelligence refers to a person of lesser intelligence as an idiot it is not a lie. 2) Subjectivity and negativity are not mutually exclusive. Bruce I've got a good buzz going and 3/4 of a liter of fine Kentucky single barrel sour mash on my desk. You wanna play word games I can do this all night! I would prefer not to play word games but use this time to debate some interesting points with you ....since you in the mood and so am I Lets forget the idiot insult, I agree with you that the word is subjective GD I want to throw an interesting theory towards you and see what you say? I very keen to get your feedback as I know you are honest but polite ....u keen to discuss my theory? Its about the way most people on the Internet and forums have 2 different "personalities " but I have only one and this is why I often get misunderstood But dont feel obliged to have this debate if you dont want to but I think you will find it interesting?

  12. You do have way with words I must say, your description of Cruz is very funny
  13. Look there is no doubt Trump will beat you in a game of chess but its highly unlikely he will beat me But Meshugger you strike me as a global anarchist, you seem to want chaos...I sometimes think you believe if the established institutions that help maintain order and structure in the world( like the UN, IMF, EU, ICC, NATO, global currency etc. ) were destroyed rising up from the ashes of a broken world would be something better than what we have ? Do you want a new global world? On the contrary i want to prevent the chaos, which will happen if society continues its current path of centralization of power and resources. I want strength, virility, realism and lucidity to be our guiding principles in the future. Fair enough, we actually want the same thing We just have different ways to achieve it
  14. I hear you, maybe she seems aloof...but are people like Cruz warm and charming?I can see the Trump and Sanders appeal but for me I think Hilary comes across as sincere and resolute...I like that about her
  15. The likeable is pretty silly to consider. That was one reason people used for GWB if my memory serves me, heh Hilary gets a degree of criticism because she is a women, its veiled sexism and its really annoying because men wouldnt get criticized for some of the things she does http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/hillary-clinton-sexism/ http://www.bustle.com/articles/86050-4-times-hillary-clinton-was-actually-criticized-for-being-a-woman
  16. Nearly 50 hours into Witcher 3 and still absolutely loving...what a game I am doing the Botchling\Blood Baron quest and its really cool, I still love exploring and fighting random beast plus the crafting and alchemy is good fun There is now NO doubt IMO that CDPR cant consider themselves one of the finest development companies in the world
  17. I dont think the game pushed the agenda enough....but I admit my view is probably extreme and I dont expect much popular support
  18. Happy B-day Calax
  19. There is a wacky conspiracy theory floating out there that this is a ploy by Trump to get Hillary elected (sabotage the GOP then drop out or nuke his own campaign once he secures the Republican bid). I'm assuming it would be in exchange for a cushy cabinet position or some sort of favors for his businesses? Its not true but it is a real conspiracy theory, people tend to embellish events and circumstances Yes Trump does know the Clintons personally, they have been to fund raising events and Hilary did attend his wedding, thats where the photo is from But that doesnt mean there aren't logical reasons for them to be on the opposite of the political spectrum
  20. Obviously Volo, she is going to win the election. But Volo its not nice to call people idiots just because they support a different political view than you, its also untrue and libelous I would support and vote Clinton if I was an US citizen...does this make me an idiot ?
  21. That looks amazing, first day purchase for sure I enjoyed Mafia 2 but the city felt a little empty at times and lacked enough good side quests
  22. I can only help with online gifts, like Steam games, and actual money..I have no influence around beta access. Sorry TN
  23. Gfted1 can I count on your vote if there was a WoT presidential election amongst members...or do I need to bribe you first to ensure your support ?
