    Why would that surprise you? They have a whole floor, level 3, almost entirely dedicated to toys

    You right, I have never played an evil character before so the thought of killing someone who left my party would be unconscionable But an evil character would see this as a betrayal and act appropriately

    Meh, opinion of someone shouldn't change when they die - Bester thinks Williams sucked as an actor, big deal. Likewise fans of someone's work shouldn't really act outraged at such as if they were family. Still, mocking a dead person is hardly improper, not like the victim cares at that point. As usual you don't seem to get it, having a opinion of someone is fine. But criticizing and dismissing his acting career on the day he died on a thread where people are paying there respects and are clearly upset is completely inappropriate. There is no way any rationale person would not realize this, you worry me sometimes with your emotional indifference

    I found another way to prevent characters leaving your party in BG2, Korgan ( dwarf berserker ) seemed to keep leaving my party at the certain time in the game in a town because of a particular quest I had agreed to. So what I did was ask him to leave before that by restoring a game. He then went back to the Inn and I completed this particular quest, then I went back and asked him to join my party again. Problem solved Your approach seems rather brutal and cruel to me

    That's clever, well played

    I'm going to give it to her when I get back to the office on Thursday, I have been busy at customers since I got back. I did see the extended magazine but I only bought her 3 x packs of ammo. I also didn't want to go overboard on the presents until the relationships starts progressing. I'm glad you have heard about this Nerf gun, I had never heard about it until she mentioned it. But she said all her friends play this type of game Creepy office stalker mode... engaged. :D Not at all, in fact meeting someone at work is an excellent way to build a relationship. She doesn't work in my BU but works in a BU that we share a technology space with. So we always have something to talk about in a way that isn't awkward. In fact I would argue that the only way that is easier to meet someone outside of work is being introduced to someone through a good friend because that way the person you are meeting has already heard what a cool and funny person you are so the whole trust aspect of that first encounter isn't a problem. Of course the attraction component stills needs to be met but that's obvious in meeting any new prospective dating partner

    Also most of you guys are probably aware of this but clinical depression is not uncommon amongst comedians, its one of the reasons that they become comedians. There desire to make people laugh is an expression of the fact they themselves battle to find laughter or purpose in everyday life

    Ok, all jokes aside, Rostere, I'm a white European and I don't take kindly to my own representatives blindly following American orders and stabbing my economy in the foot, something my ancestors took centuries to build. I take it all quite seriously. I don't want to see self-congratulatory delusional jokes about how we're defeating the dumb Russians while it's the Americans who are defeating Europe. That should only be a concern if it was true.."Americans defeating Europe "....

    Good points raised and of course the far left has its controversial and embarrassing comments but it seems to me that the far right seems to make them much more Whether its Rush Limbaugh or the infamous Romney 47 % comment there just seem to be a preponderance of these types of views from certain Republicans that even if they are true they really offend and annoy people. But the type of thing that gets to me the most is what happened at a GOP debate on 2011 when a gay soldier based in Iraq asked a question around " would the don't ask don't tell policy be reinstated if they came to power", several people in the audience booed after his question. And not one member of the Republican candidates challenged the audience on this http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/183475-gay-soldier-booed-at-gop-debate-candidates-stay-mum So in other words its okay for a gay soldier to be prepared to fight and die for his country in some desert hellhole but its not okay for him to say "I'm gay "....I found this whole event utterly appalling

    Welcome to the forums and the promancer camp, your opinions are always welcome in our army But just to be clear I don't think there will be any relationships in the game even a quasi-relationship with NPC , I'm being honest with you so you don't get angry and disappointed later But the good news is we have Modders who will be creating Romance options for us, Namutree is a Modder and is active in this discussion and he has already expressed an interest in creating Mods around Romance. So don't get disheartened, salvation lies in the path of the Modder !!!

    Bester you don't strike me as the type who would be bothered by ads in your game...or would you? Bruce you don't strike me as the type who wouldn't be bothered by garbage in your house... No I would be, I take my garbage out regularly. It becomes a health hazard if you don't and starts to smell

    All that shows is that foreign workers work cheaper, not that there are no Americans willing to take those jobs. It's the same situation with H1B visas. Am I the only one who finds this type of perspective hard to believe? The lack of effectiveness to implement proper immigration reform or control is really about the Democrats staying in power? It's been that way for decades. It's working too, even Texas will turn Democrat within 10 years, Republican party is dead even if they don't know it yet. WOD, can I share my personal perspective around what's really killing the Republican party. Its not the immigrants that are doing this, its the intransigence from the more conservative members within the party around there refusal to adopt or even want to recognise social changes that are sweeping through most Western democracies. The days of white, heterosexual males only representing the voice and aspirations of any political party are over. And if any political party can't make a transition from the older and anachronistic structures to properly embrace this bold and grand new world then you are right, they are finished

    Hah, you can't be serious. I think he is being serious and I understand why. Its about the fact there are certain inappropriate comments made about the death of someone who was loved and cherished by millions. And someone who basically spent his whole life trying to make people laugh, and he succeeded brilliantly at that. We live in a world where we are beset by violence and bad news stories so there are certain events we expect people to respect. We don't always need people to play the old Internet troll game or want people to be clever and "insightful " If you can't show some empathy and compassion then rather don't say anything at all. Robin Williams, RIP

    But both you boys have left out Risen 3 from your list? You are allowed to add it even if its not part of the original 3 options

    Very true, swimming is an excellent way of exercising and there is a pool at the gym. Swimming is very popular in South Africa, its not a bad idea and one I have thought about several times

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/08/11/sleeping-dogs-definitive-edition-remaster/#more-226435 Sleeping Dogs is being remade with enhanced graphics, a pity I played this game already because if you haven't played this brilliant game now is the time to get it

    I always lift alone and I don't even give a flying F about my diet. I just try to eat as little sugar as possible. Lifting is just as easy and schedules can be flexible unless you want to become a super-lean competition body builder or a world class strongman. I hear you, I just prefer doing cardio only. But I realize that doing weights and cardio is better for weight loss, its just easier to do cardio only

    So basically you will in your underwear, drinking alcohol and watching porn on the Internet. Good plan KP, that gets my approval I don't really watch porn, was thinking about a real girl.Okay, an escort is always a good idea I don't pay for sex. I'm starting to wonder about your habits. No you don't understand, its not about paying for sex. What if someone else paid for you? Or is that also below your moral compass? And I imagine your perspective will change if you ever work in the world of sales for a large corporation where you have just closed a big deal and you are taking customers out to celebrate

    Slippery slope. Can I ask a question, why do you guys honestly care if some software knows you IP address or region you live in? What are you worried about, do you see this as invasion of your privacy?
  23. BruceVC
    Just cardio. Cycling, rowing and running Why no lifting? I prefer the cardio disciplines, I can train by myself and I can change my schedule and diet if necessary. For example my friends who do weights really diet strictly, I do watch what I eat but I am not religious about it

    No offense Ros but you don't get points for stating the obvious, especially when it comes from someone of your insight and intelligence. This is what I would expect you to say Obviously a Democracy is a better and more stable form of government in the long term than a dictatorship. This point is enforced by the fact we live in a global world and all countries need political stability and to create economic environments that encourage investment, risk is something that makes investors uncomfortable. I would say historically dictatorships may have made sense but not anymore

    Yeah they can be expensive
