I agree, also the term "childish" is relative you and what you perceive it to mean.

Well we all tend to disagree on certain topics but it doesn't mean we don't respect or like each other on this forum Like the "EA sucks balls" discussion

Malc I'll tell you something interesting, do you know you can make many jokes in life that aren't about the abuse of women? In South Africa there is a "joke" that has been around for ages "What do you tell a women with 2 black eyes" "Nothing she has already been told twice" If I hear that joke from people I make a point of saying that type of humour is unacceptable and not funny. It may sound embarrassing in a public gathering, like a barbeque, to put a damper on a "humorous" vibe but that's the decision myself and others have made about certain topics that people still joke about

I will admit to not initially believing your "everybody's BFF in the whole wide world" schtick. Im still not 100% convinced but at least you're consistent and theres worse posters to have around than a nice guy. Thanks Gfted that's a nice thing to say but I don't think I'm everyone's BFF I just try to treat people with the same respect that I like to be treated with and I try to leave emotion out of debates

If you think you had it bad imagine living in South Africa during Apartheid and playing a game like D&D The government was run by people who justified institutionalized racism through certain passages of scripture. So you can imagine how they felt about the concept of a game like D&D

Does any of these; Battlefield 2142, Dead Space, Dragon Age; Origins, Brütal Legend or Mass Effect qualify? Also Alice Madness Returns is another game from EA that was very entertaining

Nothing. Will be too drunk after celebrations. I don't often agree with what you say but you do make me laugh

I have to add I don't see anything funny about a rape joke about women in any context.

I think Oby is you Monte..it makes sense on many levels, despite the attempts at speaking Russian the odd British jingoism seems to slip into his posts Yes !!! Oby is Monte ....it makes sense !!! Or Wals...maybe Raithe, or it could really be a crazy Russian on the other side of web but I like to leave the mystery with its charms. Really, if I find out Oby is some greasy Russian who lives in a basement I will be disappointed. Actually you could be on to something, I think Oby is Walsie !!! Its funny but on my old forum I was fairly regularly accused of not being a real person and Trolling the whole time. Some people just didn't believe my outlook on topics, I'm not sure if its because I come across as overly positive but I was also asked " so who is your real account name" and " wow you are such a master troll" And that's the one thing that really annoys me, when people for some reason don't believe I mean what I say when I spend time explaining my point

Op I think most of my views have been echoed by others in response to your post. The reality is the fans who funded this game want and believe in an Isometric view, but I can also understand why this may not appeal to you. And that's fine, you don't have to support this game and I'm confident you will find other games more suited to your personal tastes

Its interesting because I can completely understand the humour in this joke and the purpose of it. But I can also see how most women would have been offended by it and misunderstood its point. Women want true sensitivity when they are having a bad day or are depressed but men can handle bad situations through indifference or sarcasm. So your story demonstrates the classic difference between the way men and women think

If you go to KS website and check your profile information you can see what projects\games you backed

Yeah I agree

Geeeeeez JFSOCC I've never known you to be so vindictive If EA goes under this would effect Bioware and why would any lover of RPG want something to negatively impact the company that has brought us some of the greatest RPG of all time ? It's only the name, those people don't work there anymore. Why wouldn't anyone want to see Dragon's Feces II creators look for a new job? I can think of many reasons I don't want Bioware to close its doors. What about the fact that DA:I is looking to be an excellent and entertaining game?

Because they are the cancer that is killing RPG genre. I don't really get this negative perspective around Bioware and its probably due the fact I enjoy there games. But more importantly I fail to understand why people would feel they are killing the RPG genre. There are many alternatives to Bioware RPG and also the opportunity for KS projects to create new RPG worlds. So its win win, if you don't like Bioware games you can play something else

Sounds like an almost relaxing yet productive day of leave, nice one

I find a good cup of tea always helps to calm things down

Its weird Walsie because I became active on these forums one year ago and you weren't posting a lot the first few months as far as I remember? Now it would be incongruous if I didn't see your interesting perspective on a daily basis

I was in the same situation years ago, everything felt utterly unimportant and meaningless to me, I started to look for a meaning in everything and I failed of course because there is none, which made me fall into a crisis filled with lethargy and hopelessness. What really helped me was to stop looking for a meaning and instead embrace the meaninglessness, the unimportance of everything, making the insignificance of existence a friend. With the pressure of looking for a meaning and importance in life gone I was able to get back on track with my life and now I feel better than ever. Adopting this mindset really improved my life in so many ways. I can see things clearer now, I can enjoy activities regardless of their unimportance, negative things or set backs hardly move me, I feel relaxed and at peace. I don't know but your perspective on life would be depressing for me. I am the complete opposite. I see relevance and order in almost everything. I like the way societies function. And I'm obviously a " glass is half full " person

But Zora the reality is you Kiwi's do need to be monitored, I have always suspected NZ of being a hotbed of radical and fundamentalist ideas. I mean who knows when your legions of sheep will go a rampage and start killing Westerners !!!!

I don't think your issues are age related, aren't you in your mid thirties? You are too young to be having a mid-life crisis I suspects its hormonal and this is exacerbated by your concerns around your wife. Never underestimate the impact that certain personal issues can have with everything else in our lives. Its obvious you adore her and yet you also get very upset quickly when she does something out of her routine, like recently when he didn't come home at a certain time and was drinking with friends. Anyway that's the avenue I would explore

1) Wow, great allies you make. Selling RPGs to Assad and then turning around and selling them to the Rebels so they can fight Assad. Priceless. Russians even backstab their friends. Yes, and we'll now get a comment from Fox News Special Correspondent and totally not convicted criminal Ollie North on how the US would never, never in a million years do such a thing themselves. The russians are fairly honest about arming both sides because they know if they don't arm the rebels as well (albeit through intermediaries), someone else will. The USA would never arm both sides of a conflict, well at least not nowadays. There may have been conflicts in the past where they were guilty of this?
