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

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 !!!

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?

Far Cry 3 is worth 40 bucks, don't pirate it

Woldan you're a soldier and suffering is part of every soldiers life..this is what makes you strong !!!

Yes, it's a thing. And it looks like I'm going to be hosting my lesbian friend and her gf for sunday at least. Simply because they don't want to be around my friends ex I just can't help but see endless possibilities for how that situation might turn out Calax. If you could make something happen there you will have officially knocked Ros off his throne as the party king of this forum! "Most people have a full measure of life... and most people just watch it slowly drip away. But if you can summon it all up... at one time... in one place... you can accomplish something... glorious." Yes...I did just quote Highlander II: The Quickening... Well many great quotes come from movies, so nothing wrong with that

You mistake having fun with "it is very important, someone is wrong on the Internet" Colonialism is bad? Lol? Colonialism is normal and healthy. Strong eats the weak. Again, what makes you think it is best for the citizens? From videos it is definetely the opposite - police standing around groups of gays, protecting them from being lynched by the citizens. Human Rights is no different from "Kissing Hank's Ass".People live as they want in their countries. If you are Angola or iceland, then you could be pressured into anything. If you are USA, Russia or China, then you spit on all "pressure" and do as you want. I would have a good belly laugh if some country would demand USA to dismantle their mexican border fence, or Israel to open border with Palestine, "becuz freedum fur peepolz". We discussed it before and mods closed the topic. Go search it in your content. Okay we will have to agree to disagree about the importance and relevance of equality in places like Russia Also I have had many discussions around topics like gay rights, so if you could provide the links that explain your opinion that would be very helpful Finally if you feel strongly enough about topics like the USA border facing Mexico and how this could be a human rights issue then start a discussion around this? I'll support you if its a real issue around discrimination

So now we believe a newspaper article without any official comment from the person who is being accused of doing or not doing something? As of this morning the Whitehouse is saying that they were not aware of the depth the NSA bugging program and Obama didn't know about it. Yes it could be lies but lets at least wait for all the facts to come out before we pass judgement ..just a thought You haven't clued on to how everything that someone in the US administration does is directly condoned, nay, ordered by the president? Like when somebody has the idea to remove references to God in the US Air Force Academy, my FB feed get flooded by my more conservative American friends proclaiming the latest step in OBAMA'S WAR ON CHRISTIANITY... Exactly my point, I can't believe that anyone with a semblance of intelligence or insight can actually believe that every single decision made by the hundreds of government departments in the USA is ordered personally by Obama and he knows exactly what they are all doing

If you are taking something written on internet forums seriously, then you are having a mental problems. SA's post-apartheid fate is a great example of consequences of external pressure. Free shantytowns for everyone! Shaman medicine is not that free but at least it's everywhere. Maybe it's because nobody asks them if they like your "right thing"? What makes you think they are right? Great Britain waged war because they thought smoking opium is the right step for China. Monarchies waged wars to restore deposed monarchs. If you want other to change because you can force them to do so - you are welcome, might makes right. But pretty please, don't colour your intentions with "morality", "right things" and other moralistic stuff. Yes I take every discussion seriously, I wouldn't waste my time responding if I didn't believe what I posted. I'm sorry you are so bored with your life that you make comments and engage in debate that you don't take seriously ( of course this is not true because you do make some relevant but incorrect points so its obvious you do think about what you say or believe, I hope you can see the contradiction when you make a comment like " people that take discussions seriously on forums must be mental" because this applies to you ) Your view of the current state of South Africa and its problems is incorrect, but that's a discussion we can have another time. Almost every time I have this debate with people around equality throughout the world they make similar points to you. They typically Quote how the West historically use to behave. Colonialism and how belligerent Western countries use to be comes up. But we are not talking about the past. We are talking about the current state of equality in countries like Russia. Western countries believe in equality and practice it nowadays. This is not whats best for them but what is best for there citizens as they like to be inclusive of all groups of people in there respective countries that pay taxes and contribute towards the growth of the country. Western countries also take seriously the principles of Human rights which are part of most constitutionsWe need to keep what is happening in Russia simple, do you personally feel that a gay person should have less social rights than a straight person. And if you do can you explain why?

You can maybe use that money and start up something new? I'm sure your increased experience will help you do better this time.Road to success is filled with failure and all that. Never underestimate the importance of good technical skills. @ GD Even when the consulting work is done with your experience I can't see you battling to find work. You may have to work for someone else or a company but that's not always a bad thing. At least you get paid your salary irrespective of quiet months and deals that take longer than expected to close

Tonight I'm having Chicken Pie with oven backed Chips, not fried Chips as baking is healthier

Agreed, for example there's an influence and pressure that all women should cover their faces and Piglet is an offensive character and should be banned. Or pressure that people should believe in the right god. We have social responsibilities to teach those uneducated masses how to live! It is insulting to assume they can decide for themselves how to live in their countries. Next thing they say is that oil deposits belong to them alone. Ridiculous! And just look how happy and prosperous Africa now. It doesn't seem like you taking this topic seriously? Also I am not talking about the whole of the African continent and its current economic prosperity, I agree there is loads of work to be done. I am talking about how Apartheid ended in South Africa and the external pressure that was put on the South African government that forced them to change the political system My point is that if you want certain countries to change there social views you can't rely on them to "do the right thing" Without external influence you won't see the right steps to a society that doesn't discriminate against certain groups. This discussion is about equality and how we get countries to accept that.
