Ukraine discussion
Actually from what I have been seeing he doesn't want to conquer the whole of Ukraine but wants a corridor through Ukraine from Eastern Ukraine to the Crimea which Russia has already illegally annexed

And if you don't have all the content, get it from GOG for pretty cheap. Also in the GOG forums on the IWD forums there is list of the best Mods to use in a topic right in the beginning of the post list. I played IWD recently and I recommend the suggested list, its only about 4-5 Mods and most of them are bug fixes.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
he did not need to work very hard to find, "bizarre, explicit and controversial comments." in fact, we bet it would be impossible to enter a da:i forum other than news and announcements and perhaps multiplayer, and find a single page w/o at least one thread containing, "bizarre, explicit and controversial comments." a comment from a bsn poster reacting to the video that is honest 'bout the degree o' bsn bizaro http://forum.bioware.com/topic/512557-dragon-age-inquisition-bsn-in-a-nutshell/?p=17218164 HA! Good Fun! Even if each page on BSN contains one thread of " bizarre, explicit and controversial comments" there are on average about 25 topics per page , that means 4 % of the topics are " bizarre, explicit and controversial comments" This is a small number of the total number of " normal " posts. I stand by what I say, you guys are exaggerating when you suggest that most of the comments on BSN are like the comments in the video. And then even in a topic like Iron Bull not every comment in that thread is going to be about people wanting to have sex with him which brings down the total number of " bizarre, explicit and controversial comments" even more

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Yeah that was funny No, it's not. It just means that Bioware's forum consists of two groups of deviants, one who take it seriously and second who are way too creative in their trolling to be normal, either. No I don't see it like that at all, what the guy did is obviously trawl BSN and look for the most bizarre, explicit and controversial comments he could find. We know these exist on BSN but we also know there are thousands of normal posts about DA:I. So we can't generalize and say this video represents all the people on BSN, that's an unfair characterization of BSN. And I know you know this

What you having for dinner tonight?
I always like to read the menus of restaurants that people post, this place looks very cool Tell me Shady why is it that your wife and friends don't want to go to the Buckhorn Exchange restaurant? What is the reason you can't gather support for this type of gastronomic experience, the restaurant looks amazing. Imagine eating Buffalo and Elk http://buckhorn.com/suppermenu.php Yeah, nobody is really lining up to go try it. If they go they'll probably just get something normal like a steak and since there are better steaks to be had elsewhere... Also, I've had both buffalo and elk before and I'm not real big on either :/ I am mostly curious to try alligator or snake but not curious enough to go by myself Okay makes sense

So let me get this straight, you are telling us we must ignore the input of the qualified archaeologist, TMZuk, who actually works with excavations and believe you around the point that there were no significant female Viking fighters? And what do you do for a living again?

Good post And no I don't any offense at all. I expect people to be honest around this topic

Hi Hiro "waves", you have been quiet lately ? You haven't been commenting on the Romance thread, you should come and give us your opinion on all matters related to Romance in RPG?

Don't be a hater Shady, take a look at some of these burgers http://m.cheeseandburger.com/#/America I eat my fair share of the more creative burger shaped heart attacks but sometimes you just want something simple I hear you, sometimes you just feel like a hamburger that is simple where the focus is on the patty and not 3-4 other ingredients that can end up neutralizing the taste of the patty

The state of Feminism, the good the bad
Unfavored in custody agreements, harsher sentences for crimes, more likely to be physically assaulted or robbed. Note that men are much more likely to be executed than women in the US. You would be very wrong. The idea that bigotry and discrimination only applies to race, sex, and sexual orientation is wrong, as is the assumption that there is no bigotry or discrimination against whites, heterosexuals, and males. You have discrimination based solely around education, economic situation, religion, and pretty much anything you could think of. Point is, discrimination and bigotry apply to a whole lot more than just three things, and trying to designate a privileged group with just those three factors will not result n a universally privileged group. Okay you make some good points. I just battle with this whole "white, heterosexual males " are really victims of the same types of systemic discrimination that gay people, black people or women have been subjected to through the years Yes there are types of discrimination we are faced with like you mentioned but its not in the same degree that other groups have suffered under?

Look at the thread title. If you only wanted to discuss the positive aspects of feminism, then perhaps you should have gone with something else, like "Positive Aspects of Feminism". Sure, but feminism will always be associated with all groups of feminists, even the insane ones. Furthermore, feminism is flawed in that it seeks to address gender equality by focusing only on the problems faced by one gender. Yes you are correct, we should be discussing the good and bad about feminism as the title indicates, my bad. So what in your opinion are the issues that men face in modern society. I have always believed that white, heterosexual males are the least discriminated group throughout the world. In fact I would argue we don't know really understand the definition of the words " bigotry " and " discrimination" because we generally aren't on the receiving end of these views

KP this is an unhelpful comment, no one is suggesting anything even remotely similar to what you are saying. Radical Feminists do, in fact a pillar of their ideology is that women should govern men. On-Topic because the Rad-Fems are part of the current state of feminism. But why would you focus on the negative or radical element of a particular movement? There is a reason we call them radical. I would imagine most people prefer to align with the more reasonable groups in an organisation?

I'm talking about the average. I really did not think I would have to say it. The strongest and fastest of women never were and never will be (unless we evolve somehow) as strong or as fast as the strongest and fastest of men. On average this will always show. No they are not. Equal food and equal work will produce a stronger male. This is a scientific fact unless you are going to tell me women in the past had the same amounts of testosterone as men. If what you say were true women and men could compete in physical sports without the division. But they can't. I can send you some sources, but they are in Danish. Please translate these sources to English and then share them with us, don't be lazy

The Official Romance Thread
Yes I'm seeing her this week after work for drinks. The Nerf ammo was very well received and appreciated. But its too early for predictions on how things will work out

What are you playing now?
I started playing Jade Empire this weekend and I'm loving it. This type of game just reinforces why RPG are my favourite genre, I like the choices and the excitement around exploration of a foreign world. And Jade Empire isn't even a open world RPG which is generally my real preference. Plus its exciting the subtle insinuations at Romance that I'm slowly building with my party members. Oh and I'm enjoying the combat, I like the martial arts aspect of the game

Ukraine discussion
Personally this ban of foreign food no cause effect to me. I prefer fresh food (meat, fish, milk, fruits etc) - this is meant i buy food only from local manufacturers. But anyway China and South America fully replace European import on our food marked, if someone prefer foreign food instead. Sorry Europe, but your expectations about starving Russians is fantasy. We actually don't notice nor sanctions, nor war in Ukraine (except huge amount of Ukrainian refugees everywhere), just continue our pastoral life. I even disappointed because i do want falling of Ruble for some Euro speculations but EU and US performance too ****ty for it. Inflation is not higger than in peace time anyway. Meanwhile for European farmers this ban is quite painful ( their business is not too profitable even without sanctions ) and mainstream media just pacify them by such cool stories about suffered Russians. Yes my friend but the facts are you can only get certain types of food from places like Europe. For example Parma Ham, Parmesan and Gorgonzola cheese and certain wines. You cannot replace this with substitutes from places like China because the reason for example Gorgonzola cheese tastes like it does is because of the unique mold that cultivates in the area in Italy where this cheese comes from So Russia is now denying itself arguably the best food in the world
