    @ Alan I don't disagree with what you are saying but my comments weren't directed at you. There have been several comments that suggest gaming journalists are not relevant anymore as a source of information around there opinions on games. You can see this view from Bendu's comment onwards from some people He said "Game journos. Nobody needs them anymore. They are so '90s." His view around the importance of gaming journalists can't be more clearly expressed than this type of comment. That's where I'm getting the opinion " that people don't listen to gaming journalists"

    XBox One is *supposedly* going to be more aggressive in handing out Xbox Live bans to players who are frequently abusive or insulting to other players. That can't come soon enough, anything to reduce the rampant bigotry and unacceptable rudeness I support. Maybe people will actually start thinking before they comment and assuming there will be no consequences?

    Okay I disagree with what some of you guys are saying about the influence gaming journalists have around there opinion about games. Personally I always go to sites like Eurogamer, GameBanshee and Gamespot to get opinions of various journalists. I also read the user reviews and check forums like Steam for general perspectives which I find most interesting. If I am doing this I can guarantee you thousands of other people are also doing this. No offense but I think you guys are being jaded, myopic and dismissive if you think that no one listens to gaming journalists

    I think its time to move beyond the mistake that Harry made wearing that inappropriate costume. He has apologized profusely and has done more than enough for his country subsequently to show he is a patriot and someone that people should and can respect

    I've been reading up about these measures that the UK wants to implement and its actually not such a big deal as you as an adult can contact your ISP and instruct them to remove any filtering, so Porn problem solved But I am more concerned with the fact that the recommended filtering software is HomeSafe and they are owned by Huawei. Huawei is a Chinese Internet technology company similar to Cisco. They make routers, switches and other Internet related equipment. Huawei has been recently implicated in passing sensitive USA information back to China as many companies in the USA use them products. We use them in South Africa as they are offer good value for money and do the job The UK should really only consider using software and devices that are designed in the UK or the EU to do this type of filtering to ensure a level of internal security around where this data may end up

    I don't think this view is accurate. If gaming journalists were irrelevant why would Publishers ensure that certain gaming review websites and there gaming correspondents have early access to games and interviews? The reality is that there are still many people that place credibility in what gaming journalists say and what they think so they still play an important function

    I agree, also there is a train of thought that says that Child Porn is actually used by many pedophiles to suppress there abhorrent sexual appetites. So in fact by making it even harder to get, and already its illegal and hard to see, you may inadvertently make the issue worse as pedophiles will act on there urges

    These eyes looks quite normal for me I'm seeing a light reflection from the eyes that the camera is picking up. Similar to "red eye", but its not as red here but still noticeably "shiny" to me. Yeah her eyes are definitely reflecting the light in a vampire like manner

    Listening to 'da yoof' at work I gather they practically swim in the stuff via mobiles. Little bastards. EDIT: Full disclosure - I wrote this next noticed the attractive women thread on this forum... Yeah, I mean we would NEVER look at pictures of attractive women, its the kids doing all this licentious behaviour

    I watched numerous interviews on this the last couple of weeks and the addressing child pornography is part of it. But why would you block porn anyway, is there a real issue in the UK with kids watching it? Have they done surveys and what age are they talking about that these kids are watching porn from?
  12. BruceVC
    Yeah you guys have a real issue with paedophiles and child porn so this should help especially since the real hard core child molesters use peer to peer networking and this won't help at all. Wait that means these steps will have a negligible impact around the issue they are trying to address so another well meant but ineffective government policy

    I am really looking forward to the mega dungeon, I would like each level to have its own identity and then as you go lower unique creatures and races that have there own culture. Like exploring the Underdark in D&D. And there should be certain powerful monsters that you won't be able to defeat initially until you are at the right level

    Oh no that's not good, you know she is going to start judging your lifestyle and where you going with your life. But remember she is doing this as she is concerned and thinks her advice will help you so don't get upset

    I also enjoyed DA 2, it was entertaining but not fantastic. And of course it had Isabela

    Its easy to say that when you aren't the target of bigotry or abuse. "Just ignore it " isn't a viable solution to dealing with most cases of bigotry Actually on the internet it is, you just log off. How is that ignoring? That is actively running away from. QFT

    "Pot Pie" yummy, What was in the pie?

    You make a good comparison but the reality is men are more lecherous and known to be more publicly crude than women. Haha, if you only knew... Yes I know women can be crude as well but how many times in club or bar do you hear stories about a guy getting his ass pinched or some hot girl walking up to a guy and saying "hey you I want to have sex with you ". Or how about some good looking guy getting on a bus and him feeling he is getting undressed by the stares from the various women who are sitting on the bus? And yes I know it does happen but its much more prevalent that it's men acting like this towards women

    The good news Monte is that Raithe has done an excellent job representing the advantages of the Monarchy

    The type of people who only play games for romances are precisely the group of people I would choose not to share a forum with. It's like casting a 'Summon Creepy BSN Hivemind' spell. "'Summon Creepy BSN Hivemind' spell" Funny But what I mean is they play RPG for the other reasons we do but the Romance element is huge for them. Its probably the second most important thing after the story

    You make a good comparison but the reality is men are more lecherous and known to be more publicly crude than women. Also we know that men on women sexual abuse is much more rife than women on men abuse so I would still say the picture is relevant?

    There are no battery stores nearby? Maybe you could hook up a bag or two of potatoes ... Well it was 8:30 pm when I realised my Xbox controller was dying a slow death, there are 24 hour garages that sell batteries but I thought I can just wait till the morning to get what I need

    Scathing wit is best. The problem with scathing wit is that some people just don't get it so sometimes you need to be more direct and unequivocal.
