I have to honest I have never really got into baking, its something I intend to rectify. But I always use pre-made pastry

" 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

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

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

I like this way of a possible warning around difficult enemies

I don't disagree with certain quests being too hard to initially complete but I don't see the reason for a pointless quest like in your example where you get no reward for doing it later. Also you should get some kind of warning if a particular monster is going to be too difficult. I don't see this as detracting from the overall experience?

Good point, other people read the responses to Oby and these responses are relevant and interesting. I overlooked that one and its true

Bruce, how jealous are you right now? They don't even have to shoehorn in sexy time, a la BioWare or CDPR, it's an RPG based around sexy time. I'm completely committed to the importance of Romance in RPG but this game just looks silly Bruce, I'm shocked. I thought you, of all people, would be able to appreciate and embrace the aspects of different cultures' video game romances. You need to open up your mind and allow yourself to experience the beauty and majesty of video game romances from our brothers and sisters in the Far East. Keyrock I have to honest, I'm a flawed person and still find some ideas around the implementation of Romance in certain games to be lacking. I agree I shouldn't judge but I cant help myself

I agree, Ros I can appreciate all the effort you put into your posts disputing what Oby says but I don't believe he even bothers to read or properly understand what people say. I realised this a long time ago so nowadays I don't spend more than 5 minutes responding to him

Hopefully, hopefully. We can never have enough decent Romance options in a RPG

well the trip on foot should negate all the calories, you little health fanatic you I hardly think so. I can only assume you've never drunk mountain dew. It's like consuming sugar-dipped loft insulation. Yeah I agree, I was being sarcastic

Thanks for providing these screenshots in a convenient manner. I haven't seen them all so this is great

Yes, this is exactly the answer what I was looking for. Someone expressing their opinion as a dogma and indirectly insulting everyone who doesn't agree with said opinion. And of course the cancer inducing humor. Bravo, sir, I applaud you. Don't expect too much constructive feedback from Monte, he doesn't even like Romance in Bioware games so his whole opinion on topics is questionable I can't say I noticed slowness around issues like the casting of Magic Missile but I do love that spell and always choose it. Its quick to cast and disrupts enemy spell casters. I also get a vicarious thrill from seeing my enemies get pummelled by multiple missiles. I have just finished IWD for the first time and Magic Missile provided invaluable aid in combat

Yeah, we had our servers hacked twice last year by friendly hackers (apparently from the country next door). Very fun sitting in an office all morning staring at a PC screen and being neither able to do any work nor at least kill time online while waiting to be able to do work. That would be cool if it happened here. They just forgot to install patches so the tests are invalid. Woo. At least I have my Kindle. Nice work ethos Malc, thinking that sitting at a desk and staring at a blank screen would be fun Why would Windows patches impact your testing of an application? I can think of the business reasons that would justify it but I am interested in the technical reasons they gave?

Sorry to hear Nep. Death is never easy especially when its someone who has some significance in our lives. Suicide in many ways makes it harder, I always ask questions like "was it from depression" and if so "was the person getting the necessary treatment" If you think of educated people who understand that depression is a chemical imbalance you would assume so but that's not always the case

well the trip on foot should negate all the calories, you little health fanatic you

This afternoon I am going to an underground Psy Trance party, its going to be epic Then I have a g-friends b-day in the evening at a prominent club, that will continue to tomorrow morning. But I am on leave on Monday so I can recover and chill before work on Tuesday

I don't know Woldan, a real man would have gone to the forest and chopped down the wood he needed to build the chest. Its clear society has made you weak and that worries me

Geez that trailer looks amazing, I'll watch the movie and read the book. I find a book always offers a more detailed and insightful view to a particular event

Okay, that first line is pretty funny from you. Seems it's about right/wrong a great deal as the other guy needs to fall in line, so to speak. I'm lucky I'm pretty dead emotionally, can't say any game has made me cry. Though Grim Fandango came close when I realized it was over in the credits and nothing was left to experience in the world. Wow Malc you have got it all wrong about me. I don't want to prove people wrong but merely to give them a different perspective, see this as a positive development

I agree, well said

I fail to see the connection? A music video can be interpreted in different ways, the whole Miley Cyrus twerking incident is not the first raunchy music video we will see and will continue to see them. Personally I found the video fine and her way of trying to define herself and move permanently away from the Hannah Montana image. She also was the one doing it and made a conscious decision to make the video that way. I have no issue with that But that's not the same thing as a group of developers that makes a game that portrays women in only one way or where the women, or other groups, are at the receiving end of crude or derogatory jokes.

Its interesting you say that because that's one of the reasons I only do Cardio

I need to mark this in my dear diary, but I do believe I am agreeing with Monte here. They've had a female prime minister, we've had a female president. Any attempts toward further equality since then have been of the "chopping tall people off at knees" variety driven by obvious paranoids. As I grow older and less mellower, and spend an increasing time battling bureaucracy (as a lobbyist) and bureaucrats (as a defence attorney), I have a decreasing amount of patience for the PC thought police. Admittedly, a side effect of the globalisation Monte mentioned is that people seem to assume that their perceptions are universal. Obviously, there are less enlightened corners of the world where the situation is different. Nep take a deep breath and consider what you are saying. Did anyone make your coffee for you this morning, I would suggest you go immediately to the hospital for a full toxicology and drug test. I am convinced someone has spiked your drink !!! No sane person ever agrees with Monte, we all know that
