Yes but GTAV you want to explore..its a living world with random activities

Lexx are you sure you aren't misunderstanding some quest dialog? What version are you playing...English or German ?

Because I am not a dishonest individual, and while I can criticize the crap out of their ****ty ban system that NEVER has warning points expire even if it results in year old members with only 0.0005% of their posts being deemed inappropriate by the mod staff being permanently banned from all forum access, I still accept the fact that it's their website and their rules, so I'm ready to play by said rules and respect that. Longknife I work with security software and I respect most laws about things like the Electronic Discovery Reference Model that corporations use as a framework for eDiscovery Anyway the point is I respect Internet protocol on these matters...but this is just a gaming website, dude its not about integrity. If you miss the website just lie and go back ....there is no shame here. You can't take there judgement seriously and let it impact your life

I wish I still had Bethesda forum access because I owe a lot of people "I told you so"'s right now. Also amazed at how many people are considering this good news... Why don't you just create a new account and use an IP Proxy to disguise your IP address?

Gloating isn't a very nice thing either, Bruce You right, I'm trying to be a better forum person after someone gave me some constructive criticism ....but Nonek did say I had the intelligence of a monkey and was worried my brain was rotting from syphilis so I can't be held responsible for my posts ..I have a mental dysfunction

Hardly? I mean, nor "blatant hatred and low opinion of everything and everyone", nor "choosing to champion criminality (what is this I can't even) and hatemongering", nor "demonising and dismissing so many people as untermensch without intrinsic worth and value" took place on the last page of discussion, unless those words now mean something completely different than they did yesterday. Well, either that, or "point proven" means something completely different than what I was led to believe it means. Oh no Nonek....you have been challenged on your grandstanding, what to do....what to do

Not really, I thought you had moved on from the various GG debates and ill feeling. But it seems you still carry a grudge....we can talk about it if you want ? I can help you

What I find quite baffling is how often the people calling for censorship and safe spaces with codes of conduct to ensure everyone act as they wish are the nastiest and most toxic of individuals, and if those laws were implemented fairly (instead of encouraging groupthink and accepted ideology) they'd be the first casualties of that regime due to their blatant hatred and low opinion of everyone and everything. One can see this by their vocabulary, what they choose to champion such as criminality and hatemongering, and how they are so keen to demonise and dismiss so many people as untermensch, without intrinsic worth or value. It's quite funny that constructive discussion now means echoing an accepted opinion, you can see why Socrates fell foul of his peers in Athens. Edit: Any word on Mr Avellone's Poe novella yet? Thought there might be some news with the expansions announcement date. Nonek its not very nice to call people toxic....remember "if you can't say something nice then rather don't say anything at all " You have a habit of assuming when a group of people are discussing something they obviously find interesting but you don't they are " derailing a thread " ....its a strange view of peoples posts ?

You guys never seem to understand my view around what I would expect from a forum around moderation I would only expect certain really offensive comments like the rape statements to be deleted and or members warned. How can this impact all the other conversations and views and why you would have an issue with this boggles my mind I know you think its censorship but then by that definition this website also practices censorship?

Yeah its clearly a disk issue....once you have backed up your data I would run an aggressive defrag and see if you can mark any permanently bad sectors...then use this drive as a backup secondary drive and get a new one to ensure you don't lose data

Yeah, this is just going to blend in with all the other games about gangsters in the deep south during the 70's. Nothing unique at all! It will blend perfectly in the field of mediocre GTA knock-offs. Previous games worked by being story-driven, semi-realistic and milking the Mafia pop-cultural image. This game breaks 2 of those pillars already and it had only a couple videos released. The only 'pillar' that you can see them moving away from is the realism angle. Given that it got fairly boring to drive around at 25 MPH in their beautiful world in Mafia II, I don't see that as a big loss. The game still captures a unique time period and brings it to life, so I'd say they are right on track for another solid entry. They've always shared similarities to GTA, that isn't new. The one valid criticism I do have for Mafia 2 is there was this beautiful world that I wanted to explore yet I had no incentive....they need to learn from Rockstar and create decent side-quests and activities so you have some reason to explore the city

http://www.cubekitchen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Cube-Menu-August-2015.pdf So I'm going on Saturday to an 8 course tasting experience at a restaurant called The Cube...check the menu out. Its expensive by South African standards but when converted to dollars its only $56

Yes I have also ruminated on that exact same thing, people describe looking down on there bodies and being able to describe the scene preciously . So there are several theories about this and they all seem plausible. It really depends on the person For example, when in this NDE state some of your senses are still in a state of perception...so you can still hear or at least recognize that there is activity around you even though you are not conscious But for me I believe a more extreme explanation which of course I can't prove conclusively. Its difficult to explain on a forum but I will try Even though I am not a religious person I believe energy cannot be destroyed and when our physical bodies die our souls\essence\sentience ( whatever you want to call it ) move onto a different vibration of energy that operates in a different realm that normal people cannot see...but there are some people that are attuned to this vibration and can interact with this type of energy like psychics or dogs that can hear frequencies we can't ( ghosts would be also part of this...they are simply people whose energy hasn't properly transformed to the next level and are trapped in a state of flux ) Anyway a NDE experience we are talking about is just where this energy is able to be aware of its surroundings, because this energy\soul\sentience has a form or real awareness. But then the body is revived so the energy\soul returns to the body and sometimes there are confused memories This probably sounds confusing but I can explain in greater detail if required

Sweet sweet oxygen deprivation... Do you suppose that's the cause for those stories like: "I saw a beautifully tunnel of light and could see my passed away family members waiting." or "I was hovering over my own body." or "Terrible demons came to claim my soul."? Yes that is a very reasonable and likely reason for when people hallucinate during NDE ( near death experiences )

Never be embarrassed about wanting the prudent implementation of Romance....you are not alone in your expectations

That's a good trailer. I enjoyed Mafia 2 so I'll be buying this game for sure

Sure you right...it is harmless , but its more the principle. I have an issue with associating with people who really think its okay to say " a good raping will sort her out " ...you see on the Codex that type of rhetoric is tolerated and that sometimes leads to people thinking that type of comment is acceptable outside the Codex. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" - Evelyn Beatrice Hall Censorship is never a solution and is more often abused to silence dissenting opinion than for anything worthwhile. Ignoring people only takes a bit of willpower and then there are always technical solutions. Moreover visiting a forum also frequented by people with dissenting opinions surely doesn't mean you're "associating" with them any more than visiting a bar which is also frequented by members of the local fascist movement/biker gang/*insert socially unacceptable clique of people here*, especially if you stay away from their subforum/table...? Yes I agree, going to a particular forum doesn't mean you agree with the bigotry or controversial comments made by some of its members. My issue is with the overall Moderation policy of the Codex. Its not a indictment of all the people who frequent the website

Yeah, my siblings and I grew up in a situation like that. Decent mother (though not without her flaws, obviously)...sociopathic, depressed, abusive, neglectful, autistic, alcoholic (and then violent and psychotic) father. We all consequently have mental issues... My younger sister and I are probably the least affected of the worst of all of it, though...with the oldest (one of the two parents I've been talking about) being the worst affected, with basically everything my dad had passing down to them. The worst I got out of all that (...that I know of so far) was chronic depression that started when I was about 12 or 13 as well as pretty extreme autism. However, as bad as the autism started out (no talking of any sort whatsoever - not even gibberish - until I was about 3 and a half, being unable to cope with being outside, being unable to cope with foods touching each other - like...the pepperoni on the cheese of a pizza, as an example - being unable to eat most food in general or handle a lot of textures like satin or fuzzy stuff or chalk or...etc.), I've actually turned out...okay. I mean, I did just go dumpster diving yesterday - something I don't think I would've ever seriously considered for any reason whatsoever at any point before yesterday - after realizing I would have to to fix something stupid I did, so that says something, right? (edit): And yeah, the concept of wanting someone...anyone...dead - particularly someone I'm actually related to! - is a frightening one to me, especially since, as I've said on these forums before, death is my sum of all fears, and I'm generally a fairly extreme pacifist. But...I'm only human, and there's only so much I can take before realizing there needs to be a change, y'know? Geez Boys, your comments aren't exactly " feel good about myself " ...aren't you guys forgetting to add how you are the life of any party

Doesn't air in Canada so I wait for the whole season to hit, download it, and binge it. Yeah same as here in South Africa, I had never heard of it to be honest

Melk what has the general tourist levels been since the agreed bailouts? I am confident tourists will continue to flock to Greece especially since its not leaving the EU Did I ever tell you the story about my dad and stepmom who had there second honeymoon in the Greek isles ?

I'm looking forward to your overall objective feedback. There has been some good feedback on these forums but I come to expect generally negative views from most people towards Bioware games

Have you slapped anymore women for wanting to hit your dog....you know its a quiet day if that hasn't occurred

I thought it was quite deep ...but I'm very stoned

You have a horse that defies gravity, what verisimilitude you're talking about? you funny ...thats a good point

Why? The attire is not unrealistic or is it ?
