Sounds good, easy to cook and tasty

Either of them would get my vote. The GOP picked the wrong cause for the right fight. If this was over the reckless spending levels of the last thirteen years I'm all for it. The US cannot outspend it's revenue in perpetuity. Sooner or later the total collapse will come. Why do you guys think real assets are so overpriced right now? But they staked out this fight over defunding Obamacare. And while I wish that could happen this was not the way to go about it. Obamacare is and will be an unmitigated disaster that everyone will hate before it is all done. But it was legally passed and lawfully upheld. Just get out of it's way and let if be the disaster it can't help but be. The only thing I think they should have insisted on is a provision that forces Congress and it's staff to participate in it without subsidy. After all if it's so ****ing great why did they exempt themselves from it. Where's my exemption? The way the government has been operating for the five years Obama has been in office is nothing short of disgraceful. There has not been a budget in his entire presidency. Instead they have funded the government through continuing resolutions that hold no one to account for where money is spent or how much. and when they run out they just raise the debt ceiling and pass another CR. This will only end one way. I'd prefer to get on with it so it will be over quicker. But that won't happen. The GOP will cave in, give the left everything it wants in return for a few unenforceable promises of future cuts, or more accurately reductions in the rate of growth. none of that will happen either and we will speed on along towards the inevitable. Holy Smoke !!! When GB and Wrath of Dragon criticize what the Republicans are doing then you REALLY know this time the GOP have made a political miscalculation

" zombie-like horde of old people would descend on Washington and eat Congress alive" funny

Well said and very relevant. I have made this prediction before but I'll say it again, the Republicans will never win an election again if they follow the ideological views of Tea Party members or rather let Tea Party politicians make public statements around there political views claiming to represent the Republican base. Back to the debt ceiling, I see that moderate Republicans through Boehner are prepared to agree to raise the debt ceiling, at last. Holding the USA, and the worlds financial markets, to ransom because you don't like Obamacare was a silly and reckless strategy. There are other battles to fight and I don't see this as one that was worth causing serious harm to USA economy EDIT: I was incorrect an agreement to raise the debt ceiling hasn't been reached

I thought they were both very good but I preferred Brotherhood

Really. Kinda fixed that for Bruce That's funny Monte, cracked me up

Yes Viconia was my favourite NPC of all time But you could expand on her motives and also the influence she has on your journey. For example going on a specific quest because of what she needs and promises you. The only way i would like something like this is if the only way to romance her was for you to become more evil and no "turn her to the path of virtue" bull****. NPCs should have their own personalities and they are not only to make you feel good about yourself. If she is evil, she should stay evil and either you follow her to the dark path or you form a relationship that because of ideological diferences it goes nowhere and concludes in tragedy where she abandons you and she joins a diferent side. Maybe you are forced to kill her. But in Avellone i trust that he won' disapoint me in that front. That's an interesting perspective, the corrupting influence she has on you and a situation where you can't make her good. That could work but I'm not use to playing a bad character so it would be a new and difficult dynamic for me...but it has its appeal
-
Mine would be a very beautiful, seductive Dark Elf (or equivalent race in PE) Sorceress. She would be very useful in combat but during the game she would have her own agenda and would get the main character to partake in certain questionable quests and choices. Ultimately you could sway her to the side of virtue but that would take building a certain relationship and Romance with her.

Tonight I'm going to have oven baked fish and Couscous for dinner

*shudder* Come on be a team player and a realist Part of Bioware games are about the Romance options, its inevitable. The debate is not about "will there be Romance in DA:I " but rather " what type of Romance and how will it be implemented" And that's a huge part of what thousands of fans, like me, enjoy about there games
-
I'm a bit leery of what they've shown of the combat. Looked a bit too much like DA2, but slower when the one thing that made DA2 combat shine to me was the responsiveness. Now if it's slower with the same depth... yeah, not good. Well, we'll see. Nep don't forget the importance of an Isabella type character in DA:I ...we both appreciate the aesthetic appeal of such a person in the party
-
I hope Bioware does implement some sort of nudity. It can only add to the realism and immersion in the various Romance options available to the player. It will also enhance and add excitement to your Romance decisions Wow DA:I is shaping up to be an amazing RPG, they really seem to be addressing everything that was lacking in the previous games

I saw this and its a bizarre ruling by the courts. This decision will be appealed in the Malaysian court and this decision has been hotly contested by moderate Muslims in Malaysia
-
Right, chief. I didn't say they have none, if you read what I wrote. It is entertaining to watch you lot argue some of the time though, even if neither side really changes their stance as a result of it. Ah but Malc most of us don't argue, we debate and discuss "Discussion is an exchange of knowledge, argument is an exchange of ignorance"

"I don't think drunkenness, fornication, and fat people are the way to sell the benefits of free democracy to deeply conservative folks"... That's funny

Congratulations on finishing it, specially since you were playing it at late hours. Every time I tried doing conversations got longer and I would wake up with a note under me that said "you have slept for 8 hours" Edit: since you seem to be in the mood for CRPGs how about going from the nameless one to the living one? (they really need to have more variety) go load up Arcanum. Arcanum is far fresher in my memory than Planescape was. My original run of Planescape was in my Assassin/Rogue days, where my Arcanum run was fully in the midst of my Mage days. Since I still play Mages, I'd probably just end up playing it exactly the same way. I'm thinking about doing Drakensang next. I hope you aren't disappointed with Drakensang, I was

Yeah, I loved climbing those high spires and taking in the panoramic views of the various cities

Not this bollocks again. Not everyone reading this forum regards the arguments or the people behind them as pointless. _If_ you do, perhaps you should switch on. You might learn one or two things. I know I have. I agree, I engage in debates not just because I like debating but because I believe in what I post and I am interested in hearing a different perspective if I am misinformed. I have learnt many new things on these forums and I believe I'll continue to do so in the future

Bangers and Mash for supper tonight
