What about a figurine of Isabela in her Pirate bikini? That would be popular

I wasn't suggesting ideological similarities, rather organizational similarities. Okay. I also missed the connection. I thought you meant they were both terrorist groups, which I agree with.

You can't seriously be suggesting that you don't think that Al-Qaeda is real as a known and established terrorist organization ? Of course he can be. Haven't you seen any of his posts before? If it's not a Russian nationalist post, it's a troll post slinging insults at the "West" and its people. He made a thread to just to say that Americans are fat, ugly, immoral and the most corrupt people with the most fascist system of government on the face of the Earth, come on. I hear you, personally I get annoyed by his comments. He never engages in actual debate but prefers to quote links to other websites. The most ironic consideration is that Russia is more corrupt than almost any established Western country. So maybe he should look at the obvious systemic problems within his own country instead of this constant diatribe against the West

Even now we can't have proof of Al-Qaeda presence in Mali (Actually we can't find they in any part of Earth). http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/politics/2012/10/ansar-dine-spokesman-dismisses-terrorist-label.html ...< /p> In other words Ansar Dine is not Al-Qaeda, but western media continue mumbling about Al-Qaeda without proofs. That's because many westerners have made duped into believing in the boogie man. Only those who haven't enough background in world history/events and haven't done enough homework believe they exist outside of the propaganda machine or as an 'intelligence community' asset, or the unintelligent. Al-Qaeda = boogiemen. Anyone that considers just how powerful this organization that spans the globe supposedly is should begin to question just how that is even remotely possible. Most don't question though, not much of anything. I don't think anyone with even a semblance of insight into Al-Qaeda and there organizational structure is unaware of there real influence. It doesn't matter what you call the fighters in Mali who the French are fighting. Islamists,. Jihadists, Al-Qaeda..whatever its irrelevant to the reality of the situation. They want to impose an orthodox and archaic form of Sharia law in the region. And they need to stopped. They will be stopped as very few people and countries in the region want them to succeed.

I'm a sucker for beautiful and interesting party members. So for me Viconia, Fall-From-Grace, Isabella, Morrigan,Qara and Annah would be a must Then guys like Minsc, Shale and Alistair I enjoy to balance the game.

Nice, do you do a bit of mixing?

Oh my hat, I really hope this means its coming to the PC. From your link its probable but I can't find a definitive "yes" response from Rockstar yet

This seems to be just a strategic move to break away from the European holding company. It makes sense as the USA division was profitable

My cat is 19, but she isn't doing too well. Still miss her sister who vanished nearly 10 years ago :/ And sitll feel that nagging guild that I should not have let her out, should have searched more etc Holy smoke, that must be the oldest cat I have ever heard about. That means its 92 years in human terms according to my handy cat age calculator http://cats.about.com/cs/healthissues/a/agechart.htm

If they were subjected to some contemporary pop music, it's understandable. You funny

To be honest from an outsiders perspective it sounds like your mom doesn't really respect your ability to make the right decision, there is no doubt that she loves you and cares but maybe you what you need to do is calmly tell that her general lack of confidence in you is both demeaning and inhibiting you from making the right decisions in life. You need to make your own choices and if they are mistakes then they are your mistakes and you will deal with the consequences. But right now comments ikes "I've heard that before" are the last thing that you need to hear as you are clearly sensitive to this type of feedback

Please quote the guy instead of the article title. He's referencing budget and manpower, not the graphical output itself. Are you always such a nagging pest? Whoa, watch the attitude Morgie. Don't you know your performance reviews are coming up? If you don't follow proper linking procedure, don't expect that bonus check! Clever and apt comment

I'm going to donate to this project, it will only be $25 but I'm sure every cent counts

Holy Smoke, yet another RPG that seems to have huge potential. We are really spoilt lately, its great. That lady developer gets the message across nicely. I couldn't place her accent, East European?

Venting always helps

That doesn't sound a bit heavy handed to you? Perhaps a bit pandering. I like a game to have a message as much as the next guy, but targeting Fox News as evil seems like low hanging fruit. Akin to jokes about airline peanuts at this point. I hear what you saying but I find it interesting, the developers are obviously targeting everything that many people consider are decadent and false in our society anyway. If demonic forces were real you can understand those places would be there natural targets. So banks and night clubs and then institutions that influence peoples opinions would be in there cross-hairs, like news channels. These would then allow them to subvert people to there iniquitous way of thinking. So the idea makes sense to me.

Small enough to fairly reliably ID myself, if I post it here. :D Probably natural to have second thoughts at this point, but it's a job, not a prison sentence, so I can always just leave, if it goes completely to hell. I'll see what happens. As long as you'll still have access to the Obsidian forums the whole experience should be manageable

Unhappy, bitterly unhappy. Its a game based on the Torment concepts and narrative idea's so they need to keep the name Torment

100 % correct, the French have already mentioned on numerous occasions that they don't want to be in Mali indefinitely . And frankly you can't blame them

Which city are you now moving to Nep? I know changing a job can be stressful, even if you aren't happy in your current job, but I also believe a change like this will be therapeutic. New people, new faces and new life opportunities

I came to the conclusion years ago that I never make statements about what people would or should be interested in when it comes to gaming or anything in life really. Our constant desire to see how things work or to understand the process behind something is one of things that makes us human. So I don't think your request is weird at all

Ah, that makes sense, I guess. So the screen displays your overall "reputation" in white, and the higher of your two alignment scores in the appropriate color. Yeah, reputation is basically the sum of your renegade and paragon if I understand it correctly. Part of the reason for doing so, I believe, was to prevent situations where, because you didn't forcibly choose renegade ALL the time, you weren't restricted from renegade options towards the end of the game (which had higher requirements). The alternative, IMO, would have been to not necessarily have a linear progression for Paragon/Renegade requirements, but in this way it still let you make the decisions that your character feels is best for that situation, without preventing the options down the line because you were more balanced in your approach. Hi Alan Good to have you back and making some posts, where have you been?

Whats really gratifying for me is to see how happy the Malian citizens are to have the French getting involved in this conflict. Despite the fact that the French were the previous Colonial power the people of Mali recognize and appreciate there assistance. I have always maintained that one of the biggest issues in Africa is when certain African leaders blame Colonialism for there own lack of good governance and corruption. There is this "anti-western" sentiment in some places due to Colonialism and you see concerns raised where some African leaders would rather have African countries suffer from wars and poverty than to allow Western countries to intervene. Thats why this French intervention in Mali is also significant.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/01/15/wot-i-think-dmc-devil-may-cry/#more-138252 Here is a review of DmC. The more I read about the game the more I want to try it, I particularly like the way the game portrays the corruption of Western society by demonic forces.

Nice, I think I'll be trying this game next. Generally I have heard only comments about it.
