Sup All I'm sure most of you are aware that recently documents were released that the American National Security Agency (NSA) has been using an advanced form of surveillance called the Prism program to gather raw data of communication of people living outside the USA or people in the USA that chat to people outside the USA. This would mean any social media data transfer going outside the USA can be monitored http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program) What do you guys think, is this too intrusive and a case of big government involving itself in things it shouldn't? Personally I don't have an issue with it as I believe you can't demand your government do everything in its power to protect you from external and internal terrorist threats but then say you want your communications on the Internet to be private. But I would like to hear others views

The world is not an amalgam of objects in space; it is a heterogeneous series of independent acts - the world is successive, temporal, but not spatial. Would you agree, incidentally, that mirrors and copulation are abominable, because they increase the number of men? Woah no idea what you said or mean, are you actually speaking English ?

Holy Smoke and you live close to Poland !!! That should be considered RPG treason !! I hear what you are saying, I am probably bias as I loved the Witcher series

I think that is relevant and would create a certain view that isn't what you and I may interpret from a movie or game.

Please don't point out the logical flaw in my post, you bad boy If anyone doesn't like The Witcher its because they are American, everyone knows this and it has been scientifically proven through comprehensive polls on the Internet?

Grats

The C&C only let you determine the outcome and big portions of almost every single quest in the game from prologue to Act 3, on top of changing Act 2 entirely, but sure, yeah, "facade", let's go with that W1 and W2 are some of the best RPG ever created, our Americans friends are just being overly critical because the games weren't developed in the USA

Ask the GOG community for advice, there are a wealth of solutions that people can provide if you ask. I can't see a reinstall fixing the issue but you never know ?

This. I'm terrified of spiders. I remember when I was very young, maybe 4 or 5 I got stuck in a curtain and this spider started walking down the curtain towards me..... I know I'm being harsh about them as they play a very important part of the ecosystem

Geez your view of the game sounds awful, that's one way to put someone off playing it... You are clearly bored to be playing it

"What sort of billionaire has one of those" Okay that's line of the week

Wow that is interesting, I thought you were joking at first

@ Felithvian Lets say you are right and the earth is flat how is it possible to go around the world in a ship and not fall off some massive edge into space ?

If we're talking about Dragon Crown, that thing is more likely to repel both genders. It's so exagerrated as to become grotesque. The poor sorceress is so ugly, she gives sexual favors to a skeleton! And it's not even an animated one! As for the OP : you're paranoïd and you remind me of some idiot who whined because the olympic uniforms stripped all their feminity from women and that they should be better designed, with more room for the curves, comfort and efficiency be damned. " she gives sexual favors to a skeleton" that's funny

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Ah now you have asked an important question " why be concerned with broadening the base? " This is simply about the return on investment that shareholders expect when it comes to large corporations. Large companies can't just make profit, there profit needs to increase each year or why would people like fund managers invest in that particular industry. It does make sense and this won't change. So rather focus on games developed by smaller companies that don't have the pressure of increased profitability every year. These smaller companies don't have to be so concerned with growing the customer base

Gaming needs women, so the games should be more welcoming to them. Or something like that. That's actually a perfect synopsis. I love gaming. I want more people to embrace gaming, because it is good for my hobby. Therefore I don't want games to alienate an entire gender. Pretty simple. I don't play games for boobs, so it is a pretty simple thing to give up, honestly. A ridiculous notion that characters with big breasts (and we're not even talking about nudity here) would alienate an entire gender. I mean more than half of the posts have been plain trolling on this thread but are you for real? Not to mention that the whole "entire gender" beign alienated is not even close, just a vocal minority of feminists or what have you and the internet white knights that will unquestioningly support them by default, no matter if they're right or wrong. So you either don't have boobs in games or you offend an entire gender? Ever heard of a false dichotomy? Thank god you're not the one making the games Now now Chaz lets be careful when we insult a respected and reasonable member of the community. Especially when you don't understand the context and history of this debate Hurlshot is being very serious, what he says also makes sense to a certain degree as there are people who are opposed to the objectification of women characters. For me I am an admirer of the female form, I am not talking about just breasts but the entire look that female characters present. I think we need more Isabella and less Cadegund around party members in PE.

I think this game looks excellent and has huge potential. It seems like something really different

I am watching the TV series The Fall and I highly recommend it. Its set in Northern Ireland and its about a serial killer. Apart from the murders the protagonists have to deal with the political tensions that are prevalent for the time. This should be a "must watch" for anyone living in the UK. I really think the UK detective shows are going from strength to strength. A solid 75/100

I often admire your ability to make a succinct, sobering and accurate point I haven't quite acquired that skill yet

I'm pretty neutral on the romance thing, I think this is the first time I've looked at this thread....however, this always makes me laugh 362% on kickstarter of what they actually wanted to make the game, plus whatever they've made since...people are tripping over themselves to hurl money at obsidian, as well as other studios like inxile and double fine, yet every suggestion is always met with "Nooooo...limited resources" it just seems to be an excuse to try and stop them adding a feature you don't want. I know they are not limitless, but how much do you think they need? $10million? $1billion? .....they didn't seem to think so Yeah i agree. We have resorces for godlikes, ciphers, chanters, paladins, stronghold, second big big city and enchanted musics and extra dungeon ... but we have no for 1 good optional romance .. is it just me .. or is this .. dumb ? Nope its not dumb and it makes sense I keep saying this but I'll say it again. For me if PE doesn't have Romance/Sex than the game will be lacking that deeper interaction and immersion that you get with your party members, it would be a pity. Of course the game will still be great and entertaining but for me it will be lacking something

I see what you are saying and it makes sense. I wasn't suggesting you are sexist and thanks for explaining

I am watching the season final of the third MasterChef Australia, its so well done its way better than other MasterChef's that I've seen from other parts of the world. The hosts are so patient, knowledgeable and interesting. They come across as completely sincere and down to earth. I enjoy the South African MasterChef and we watch it religiously but it still has a long way to go to be as good as the Australian one

You should try bollito misto. Basically mixed boiled meats, served with a variety of chutneys and sauces alongside its own broth. Many places serve with pickles not unlike giardiniera. Yum, that looks delicious I love Antonio Carluccio, his love of simple, authentic but tasty Italian food is always impressive. He often makes me laugh when he describes food and his passion for it.

Where is it stated that women couldn't join his group? You know, to go along with your analogy of not being able to join an all female book club. Yes you are correct the ladies didn't want to join the mens club, I misunderstood. They wanted to use the field.
