Happy B-day America !!!

You can spin it any way you want, it still doesn't change the fact they don't seem to understand a basic balance sheet?

Strange that you feel companies like Bioware rip us off, don't deliver on the final product and you say you won't support them. But you are fine paying for a game that may not be finished and has now become apparent that the development company doesn't know how to manage a basic balance sheet? At least with Bioware gives us something we can play, yay for the big publisher business model

We are going to an international dance event tonight, there will be loads of ladies running around and the music will be excellent http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?494025

They are a grotesque. A parody on pretty much everything. If you look at them as anything but a grand rollercoster of immaturity, then you'll hate the game. If you look at them with a fascinated curiosity of just how far they can go without a soccer mom showing up at the devs' doorstep and shooting them, then its gold. A brilliant description of the SR games. Nice one

Oh I just realized that I helped fund this game so I should be able to get it for free

Wow, good information. Thanks Indira for all the details

You are funny. You are a real hedonist, you do realize that?

I understand you want to be protective to your daughter but don't you think those Russian ladies look sexy and elegant, not slutty at all? That's a nice combination and something positive? Of course they are hot but if I can see your thong-ed ass through your sheer lace dress, that's pretty slutty. I gotta get me one of those Russian fur hats, ushanka. Okay I see what you mean

Guys some of you seem to battle falling asleep or have prolonged periods where you don't sleep well. I would like to ask a question? Do you exercise regularly, I don't mean just a walk around the block but at least 40 minutes of intense cardio 3-4 times a week?

Shame this picture of your stereotypical Russian peasant grandmother is cute.

I am also keen to try this game, it will just be a nostalgic sojourn for me. I won't expect much but some mild entertainment I downloaded it last night, but only had time to start a new game and attempt to cross the road... Please also keep us updated on your view of this game

Keep us updated around your view on this game, I am interested

Under other USA regimes he might not have been safe but under the Obama presidency its highly unlikely, I would say almost impossible, that the USA would send a special force raiding party into Ecuador to kidnap Snowden. That's why he will be safe as that's the only way I can think he would be forced to leave Ecuador. But as Walsie mentioned Ecuador risks economic penalties from the USA and that will effect the poor in Ecuador. Not the president who is enjoying his moment of anti-American sentiment in the limelight

http://nedhardy.com/2013/06/26/a-love-letter-to-the-nsa-agent-who-is-monitoring-my-online-activity/ Okay this is brilliant, really funny

You can't expect a corrupt government like Ecuador to do the right thing and refuse Snowden refugee status but you never know?

Is this actually true? (I haven't really done much analysis on what the hobbies are of gay people - my assumption was that the distribution would be not a whole lot different) I have no idea. I'm generalizing. I'm guessing they would not be popular among the really gay. The regular gay folks probably as much as any other. Is this actually true? Of course its not true, I have several gay friends. There are generally 2 types of gay men. The gay guy that sees himself as a man but he is attracted to men and the gay guy that sees himself as a women. The former can have every single hobby that straight people do. Like hunting, fishing and playing rugby. But I know you are aware of this, I assume you are just making a point. @ GB You need to get out more my friend, I can't believe you have never met a gay person ?

Okay, we will have to agree to disagree on this one. That's the one gripe I had with Torment. You have this protagonist who traverses the worlds and planes and fights beings of godlike power. He realizes he is immortal and has people in his party who he is attracted to and has an emotional connection with and are prepared to die for him yet he doesn't really seem to explore the Romance aspect satisfactorily? It was unrealistic considering everything else he has to go through and rationalize about himself I don't think that romance is required in a RPG(or even needed to have a great RPG), but I think that if the player wants a PC who tries to have sex with everything they see, the player should be able to do that. Okay just to be clear I am not saying you must have Romance but it adds to the realism

I would be very excited with a Dark Sun setting and gameplay but it needs to be "modernised" at least to the PE level.

I have to agree, while the original was alright, I was very disappointed with the sequel. I have high expectations for Legends of Dawn, when I know I shouldn't, especially with the constant delays. I enjoyed TW2. I thought they improved on almost aspect of the first one. Plus I enjoyed the way you could really create your own spells and potions. But the one thing that did annoy me a little was the first continent was clearly an African theme and you had these normally docile animals that would never attack a human suddenly attacking you on sight. Like ostriches and baboons

You make some good points Kaine but I see you have left out Romance\Sex from what constitutes a good RPG. Don't you think its incongruous that when you mention realistic components of what you want in PCs like motives and goals but you leave out Romance\Sex it shows us something is lacking ? Its like you want your character to have depth but you don't want him to have an emotional connection to anyone in the party. This type of post adds to the call for Romance\Sex in RPG as a mechanism for immersion and realism IMO

I really think how MoMX does will probably be the real test case; the Kickstarters - while successful - by their funding nature might make it an attractive but unsure area to dabble in. If MoMX does boffo, I think that added with the Kickstarter success, then yeah I could see more publishers looking at smaller budget but strong-selling niche games. Interesting point but for me the litmus test wouldn't be the success of a first person RPG like MoMX but rather PE and the new Torment. I think that third person RPG are what publishers are talking about and would have better chance of being financially viable But this is good news either way if it works out

Good point, I don't know to be honest. Maybe a combination? That's a valid point, what about the rights of those churches that are prepared to marry gay couples but legally can't. Very good point actually
