  1. That's the right perspective, I can only assume Walsie is joking because what he is suggesting makes no sense to me. Without meaning to repeat what I said earlier the best job is a job you love. You'll advance naturally in your chosen career this way. But more important you need a few years of actual work experience in your current field. So your current job will give you this. The money can come later, the work exposure offers you an invaluable experience that money can't buy
  2. I do understand the difference. However, why don't you explain it to me considering it was you who said the IE games were turn based despite the contrary and the definitions on the inXile website. Of course I understand the difference. I can't believe you are even suggesting that I don't know, what an insult to my intelligence !!! Turn based is like....mmm...ermmm...a turn in a game of checkers and RT with Pause is like...a.....a visit to the doctor when someone is before you and you need to wait... Anyway I am really busy at the moment and can't go into more details than that
  3. Humanoid I hold you to such a high intellectual standard that I really wouldn't think that accessing a soft copy of a manual would be an issue? Also you can always print out the manual if you prefer the tactile and usability experience
  4. Definitions are pretty clear to me. They even list the IE games under RTwP. Correct, but I only read the definitions after I made my original post. Hence the usage of the word "EDIT"
  5. It's not about the engine. It's how you play the game. Rhetorical question. What is the default setting of the IE games? Turn-based or RTwP? Answer: RTwP. Hiro I don't think you understand the difference, that's fine we all get confused at times. Let me know if you want me to explain
  6. No, all the classic IE games and Planescape Torment are RTwP. They are not turn-based. So you don't know the difference and thought the previous games were turn-based? And therefore voted turn-based? wow. Hiro if you carry on being cheeky I'll put you over my knee and give you a good spanking...you naughty boy !!! But I did read the InExile definitions and I still voted turn-based...can you forgive me
  7. in my early 20s I used to dedicate at least 5 hours a day to games, that's true. but only because I had a weird work schedule and worked night shifts pretty often, which excluded me from any kind of socializing. if I do end up working a normal 9-to-5 job now, there will hardly be room for games on weekdays for me. maybe in 10 years when I'm 40, with everyone hating my guts, online gaming will become my only way of meeting new people then and only then will I subscribe to a game funny
  8. Sorry to do exactly what you asked us not to do but I did support this game through KS and I needed to vote for what I felt was the correct direction for the game, but I do feel bad as if it wasn't for your post I wouldn't have known about this poll
  9. I agree, I did the same thing and read the official definitions and what they mean for the game. I still voted for Turn-Based Indira its clear "great minds think alike" in our case
  10. I also voted turn-based, stupid question but why wouldn't you want turn-based? Aren't all classic IE games and the original Planescape turn-based and those really worked well ? EDIT: Okay I misunderstood the difference. I see where I was wrong
  11. Not really,how a person identifies themselves is important but you're never going to convince me that the white kid in the gansta getup that calls himself the N-word is black. But yeah, white South African that are born and raised are African even if some would identify more with their white ancestry. Sure I agree about your gangsta example. But its not what I am saying, I didn't mean to say your personal identity within a country can't be debatable but in your example that person is still an American. In South Africa third generation white South Africans get told they are not "South African" but "European"
  12. Oh no I am waiting for Oby to comment on this one My family came from England and settled in Zimbabwe and South Africa in the last 100 years. I was born in South Africa. Personally I think people prescribe too much attention to "where are you from". If a person chooses to immigrate to a country and become a citizen then they are from that country. In South Africa I regularly hear from some Black South Africans that White South Africans "aren't really African" as 300 hundred years ago there ancestors came from Europe and so now they can't claim to be African Anyway its irrelevant to me what people think I am, all that matters is what I think I am. And I am South African
  13. Would you be happy with Taco Bell as a menu item at your school? Or rather lets say it was the standard meal on Friday for the kids
  14. I turned it down. "Community Manager" is also not the same as team management by a long shot - if it was a team management thing, I might have taken it. I may dislike management but it's not a make-or-break issue. But there's only so much I can take from this company in skills and finishing school through the TV Show oppertunity is a much better fit for me right now. And yeah, I'm not particularely fond of everyone there, there's a lot of office politics, unprofessional behaviour and the "employees haven't been paid for a few months" thing is a bit of a clincher. I'm not going to do a job I really don't want to do unless I'm positive I'm going to get paid. You made the right decision, I thought you received some terrible advice from some of our esteemed members In life you really should try to enjoy what you are doing from a work perspective. 80% of people hate there jobs or just do it to pay there bills. Here you were learning a skill that you really were enjoying in a field that is difficult to get opportunities in and you were considering taking a job in a managerial position for something that you didn't enjoy? Helllllooo....can anyone see what is wrong with that logic????? Its also best to work at least a year in your position as you are basically learning. Companies prefer consistency around the length of how long a person stays in a particular company Well done on your decision young Skywalker
  15. I know its junk food but it looks delicious
  16. Hi Drowsy darling Nice to see you posting again. Where have you been? And I see you still actively believe the infamous and flawed " the glass is half empty " philosophy
  17. Guys if you want to see someone getting flamed you need to read some of the comments to his "review". I was going to comment just to show my annoyance at his opinion but after reading some of opinions you almost feel sorry for him...almost
  18. I like working with people who will compromise there principles for money. They are easy to understand. Going forward I am prepared to pay you if always agree and support me around the importance and relevance of Romance in RPG. Agreed ?
  19. I have to be honest but this is one of the most irritating reviews I've ever read in my life. The complete laziness of the reviewer and his stupidity undermines any valid input he may have around BG2. He doesn't deserve to be reviewing games. But he definitely doesn't represent the gaming journalist fraternity, he is just really bad at his job. There are many excellent, reasonable and insightful gaming journalists out there who provide valuable reviews of games. But he isn't one of them
  20. I'm playing Walking Dead and its good fun, I have just finished Season 2. I am enjoying getting to know the personalities of the various characters. Telltale has done an excellent job in endearing you to certain people, like Clementine. But I am already dreading the ending as I know something sad is going to happen and I can only guess what
  21. I have to honest I have never really got into baking, its something I intend to rectify. But I always use pre-made pastry
  22. " inappropriate" ? I don't see why, that's one of the main reasons around what bars and clubs are for. It may become unsatisfying or banal one day but its not like you are drugging these ladies and taking them home, I really don't get the word "inappropriate" around what you are doing. Also Internet dating isn't for everyone so the traditional way of meeting people in bar\club may just be what works for you
  23. I don't think they are similar at all and the main reason being this is just a forum and you can choose who you want to respond to and what you want to learn, its a mental space we operate in. But its not the same thing as someone actually defecating in your personal space which is more of a physical problem ..isn't it
  24. Bruce VC: Agreed! But it's even more entertaining to ignore those warnings and go ahead and fight an uphill battle and come out on top, and then you get to hear a few barks like: "I didn't know I had it in me", "We're all knackered and next to maimed, but we still get to see another day.", "Did I just get hernia because of this hideous brawl?", "You were lucky! I got spider veins in my once beautiful thigh." funny comments
