Monte I'm not sure why you seem to be getting so upset? The reviewer still gave the game 9/10 and its the Editors Choice for September. She is not saying "don't play the game". All she is saying GTA V presents women in one dimensional light and she is probably right I do think the word misogyny is a bit harsh, I would say the game is sexist on certain levels. But not enough where I won't play it. That just makes it even more hypocritical. I'm not with you, what is hypocritical ?

Yes, it allows you to play Steam games on your TV

Calax I don't mean to make you feel worse but that's what happens when you drive a Porsche...you become a target for those who are resentful of your success

Where are you at the moment if you aren't at home kgambit? I meant it's a good thing I don't have to leave the house tomorrow to go anywhere .... Hey it was 4 am and I'm running on an empty tank with no caffeine, lucidity isn't a priority atm. LOL Ahhh, okay I see what you mean

Where are you at the moment if you aren't at home kgambit?

Nep if your clients were hot, Russian strippers would you mind babysitting them then?

I don't think that's accurate at all. Groups like Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram ( the group doing all the killing in Nigeria) are based on the ideological teachings of Al-Qaeda and the origins of AQ are from the aftermath of the USSR invasion in Afghanistan. Edit: Oh I see what you mean, my bad

I also watched the pilot of Sleepy Hollow so thx for the tip guys as I didn't know about the series until you all discussed it, it does look entertaining and I'll keep following it.

Oh mcmanusaur I made a similar post a while around the reasons for people liking fantasy RPG, you may get some answers and opinions there? http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/62357-why-do-you-enjoy-rpg/

I know these types of terrorist attacks continue to shock us with there callous indifference to loss of innocent life but this one seems to reach new levels of low Imagine taking your family on a Saturday to a mall for breakfast or some quick shopping and this happens. Al-Shabaab are barbarians and cannot be reasoned with, they need to be arrested or wiped out. That's the only thing they understand

No they would be mentally unbalanced and would be need to be placed in an asylum

Yum, that all sounds very tasty

I've never been able to get it to work online, and I'm in the US. No you must be joking, honestly how hard did you try to get it working?

I would say its 95% chance its Al-Shabaab but you right its not confirmed yet.

This dream fits firmly in the realm of "not meaning anything and its your subconscious mind working its way through your memories "

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/21/world/africa/kenya-mall-gunbattle/index.html So most of you are probably aware of the deplorable attack yesterday by the Islamic extremist group from Somalia, Al-Shabaab, into a large shopping mall in the capital of Kenya. Details are still coming in but what we know is between 15-25 heavily armed men walked into this mall, Westland, and basically started killing people indiscriminately. They let some Muslim people go but didn't care if women or children were killed. There is now a standoff where these militants are still in the mall and have taken hostages....I don't see a happy ending as Al-Shabaab enjoy the thought of being martyrs and they will take as many innocent people with them in the inevitable violent end to this siege Now why did they do this? Kenya lies on the border of Somalia and has committed troops and resources to a UN sponsored military campaign to wipe out Al-Shabaab in Somalia. This campaign has been mostly successful but Al-Shabaab still has territory in southern Somalia which it is defending. I can't express enough my disgust for these types of cowardly and despicable attacks on innocents from extremist groups that we still see in several countries globally

Yeah, except that $98m on sales of $3.8 billion is a wafer thin margin and anything can happen yet given the volatile nature of the industry. And I don't think the "is BioWare going to be around in 3 years" question was about EA finances, but rather about BioWare's finances meeting EA expectations. EA has officially said they need each game to sell 5m to be profitable, and at the moment, DA:O probably (just) managed that out of all of BioWare's releases. Okay that's a different and valid concern. I had no idea that was the financial expectation from EA to Bioware. Can you provide any links that support what you are saying?

That's what I thought, I found it hard to be believe EA would be making no Net Profit So guys this is what matters in respects to the balance sheet for EA. We can see from the information provided that EA is a profitable company. Any concern can now be put to rest...phewwww You can argue it could make more profit but I think this should address the major concerns around "is Bioware going to be around in 3 years". It is as EA is still going to be around

Walsie you are incorrigible

What do you mean when you say an RPG with a soul? Can you elaborate a little around this requirement

Don't worry Raven some of the older members are gone but there is a deluge of really cool, intelligent, good looking new members since the funding of PE started. Like .....me !! Arguably the forums have been elevated to a better place as we have even more opinions on important topics such as, ..such as, mmm...oh yes I know " what movie did you watch recently", " wow that rodent is cute" and "are consoles better than PC"

edit: From an investment standpoint, they aren't good, because they seem to have hit a point where their profits are matching their costs. But as a business they seem as stable as you can get in the video game industry. I hate to disagree with you Hurlshot but no company will stay in business if the profits only cover the costs. So if that's true EA will need to make some serious structural changes if they intend to have any future I agree they need to restructure, pretty much every game publisher is trying to adapt to the changing market and get back to a growth phase. But if they are covering costs they are still stable. EA still makes a ton of money every year and the numbers show that they are operating within that budget, rather than taking major losses every quarter. Okay but we need to keep this simple, end of the day if the Net Profit of EA is zero that's almost as bad as running at a loss. They can't be making a ton of money and yet only covering costs? Because by its nature that comment is contradictory from a financial perspective. I find this hard to believe so I would like a more professional assessment of EA P&L statement

I love Andrew Zimmerman and Bizarre Foods, he is an excellent ambassador for gastronomy and experimental food

Mmmm....I think I've got this one. That dream means you need to learn how to swim !!!!! You see this dream deciphering is easy
