Thanks GM

For me I always admire people who want to play any anticipated or popular game in a beta. I never understand why people would want to play a game that has bugs and issues and also you will also know the narrative. So the surprise is ruined. I only play games 1 month after release when the first official patch is released

Woldan people have given you some sincere advice but I think its wrong because of your personality. Most people won't go to a party by themselves for a number of reasons. Personally I am an extrovert and enjoy talking to strangers but I don't think this is your strong point and to be honest its understandable. Why would anyone prefer to go to social function by themselves when they can go with people who know them?

Do you have to be a real ex-member of BIS or can you pretend to be one to partake in the reunion?

I would say we should care about pirating purely on the principle. Even if you don't think it impacts the revenue stream of a company the real question you need to ask yourself is actually a simple one " what right do you have to play a game, without paying for it, that a company has spent months if not years developing? " Thats already answeard, once someone have enough cash they start buying it instead of pirating, actualy if I never start playing pirated games, I would probably not be here today backing up PoE Okay so just to be clear on this point, your response to my question would be " yes I have a right to pirate a game if I don't have the money to purchase it? "

Layoffs are never good news, I'm sorry to hear that. This is just another example of the tough economic pressures many companies face

Without nitpicking based on your link I did a quick calculation on the 2013 global GDP numbers from the IMF ( the second column ) and basically subtracted from the total of $73,982,183 million the combined contribution of G7 GDP based on that column The G7 make up $32,654,000 (rounded some numbers up or down marginally) of the total. This is 44 % of the total worlds total GDP. This is not an insignificant number and it is relevant to the discussion because you are basically dismissing the G7 economic might I

He completely f*cked the north for his nostalgic reunion. No it was much more than that, the reality is the school of vipers were also extinct. The Nilfgaardian Empire promised to resurrect them. If I had to choose between extinction of my people and the Nilfgaardian empire ruling over some kingdoms I would choose the Nilfgaardians. Its a question of survival, so for me Letho did what he had to do not out of malice or self-enrichment but for the greater good of his kind

I don't agree with your assessment of the contribution of the G7 towards the global GDP And this is a discussion that we can have around the facts, not personal views. I'll respond to this later

unfortunatelly there is the funny notion, that to make the enviroment "just", the people who enjoyed certain privilleges should lose them and those privilleges (and more) should be transfered to those who (for whatever reason, even if the previously privilleged had nothing to do with it) did not have them a simple example would be: in my country there was freedom of religion for almost 200 years. in Pakistan there never was that notion. now that many Pakistanis are in my country, the liberals advocate that all non muslim religious symbols should be removed from public view, in order to promote the feeling of freedom of religion. practically that means oppress all other religious groups that enjoyed the freedom to worship whatever they liked for the sake of a single group that they consider oppressed (even if it never actually was neither here nor in their homeland) You make some good points, especially the comments " the people who enjoyed certain privileges should lose them and those privileges (and more) should be transfered to those who (for whatever reason, even if the previously privileged had nothing to do with it) did not have them Ï see this in South Africa on some levels and it doesn't actually help to transform the economic reality of previously disadvantaged people. Because there is view of entitlement with no concept of working to achieve this. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone but the issue does exist

he may appear but only if you have not killed him in witcher 2 and load that save at the start of witcher 3 (it was confirmed that the choices of 2, if you import the save, will create alterations to the world of 3) I never killed Letho, I thought he made a convincing argument about why he was involved in the assassinations For me the survival of the Witchers was more important that the killings of some rulers.

Fair enough, last comment from me about this. Gnostic, Prime and myself have worked out all the details of this bet so going forward we will use PM to discuss any changes

That's true except for the fact that G8 produce 60% of the worlds GDP So if you are arguing that global economic strength is irrelevant and inconsequential then yes the G8/G7 is irrelevant But considering the reality that the most important consideration for almost countries in the world is the state of there economies you will have to position a very compelling argument to convince me that the G7/G8 is irrelevant And yes Russia being suspended from the G8 is important. Its another step to isolate them and get them to behave in way that is more acceptable to most of the international community

yes, and flemmeth IS andraste, and you are morrigan's hellspawn... hmmm. that would perhaps be too creepy even for a bio romance. HA! Good Fun! Gromnir always remember that the word "creepy" is very subjective What is creepy for you may be perfectly normal for me

Holy smoke, this post highlights just how impressive that trailer really is Any company that can pierce the phlegmatic exterior of an English gentleman and create a modicum of excitement is good....really, really good. Well done CDPR, if you can galvanize interest from the English this game will be a winner !!!

Don't be scared Malc, these forums won't hurt you. I can imagine how nervous you must be with that madman killing police in your country and still on the lose !!! http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/05/world/canada-shooting/

Seems like a problem with the receiving end then, to be honest. Not sure what the reason for the argument is anyway, not like any of you are actually going to change your stance at all so. Well other than just being **** as usual. Such cynicism young grasshopper, such cynicism. Did it ever occur to you that maybe after reading all the various comments someone who was going to pirate something will decide not to?

he already conceded that he pirates. am recalling a specific and somewhat amusing example of textbooks, yes? *shrug* we don't drink alcohol, so perhaps we is being naive when we observe that posting on message boards while inebriated is a recipe for disaster. HA! Good Fun! I think you are making perfect sense so don't think the alcohol is making your logic incoherent. The issue is Sarex just doesn't understand how businesses work, grow or the important role they play in the economies of countries

Wowzers, that trailer is one of the best trailers I've ever seen in my life

That menu looks amazing, I also would have ordered "nose to tail". I have never had pigs ears before, how were they? Crunchy Actually they were really good and paired nicely with the pork belly and grits They also had a few bacon themed ****tails mixed drinks (is that okay, language filter?). My wife ordered one called the Kevin Bacon and I had the Bill Brasky because, you know... BILL BRASKY! Shady don't forget to go sometime to the Buckhorn Exchange, according to the website its the original steakhouse in Denver. Its been going for over 120 years !!! http://buckhorn.com/

" this is getting ludicrous, even for Gromnir" No Gromnir don't give up, it will be a first for you and your record for debating right to the end will be ruined. Be resolute !!!!

Suck it. Yeah, I went there.

Trish Merigold..."sigh" That's a definite
