Awwww... you are totally discriminating against sexist male chauvanists. Also, there's a joke somewhere in there about armor on female avatars hopefully being off... haha. Ohhh terrible out-of-context meanings. 8P I have to be honest, I don't understand why its sexist or chauvinist to admire or be a supporter of the female body. I am a huge supporter of Bikini Chainmail armor in PE and Viconia similar characters

Why is he a coward? He could have been suffering from depression , and depression is a sickness. Committing suicide doesn't necessarily make you a coward.

Mmmm, what don't I want? Good question. For it will be things I didn't enjoy in other RPG, like DA2. So that would mean enemies appearing out of the air the same dungeons being reused

Nice one Nep, thats good news

It seemed to me that he wasn't very consistent. He claimed that the purpose of the 2nd amendment was to protect the citizenship from the government, yet does not want people to have the same weaponry as the government. And he sounded like a 12 year old. And looking sane next to Alex Jones is not very hard, I think not looking sane next to Alex Jones is what is near impossible. Its funny how we can have different views on the same style of debating, I don't agree with him but he did come across as intelligent, calm and reasonable . Except for the "dancing on the graves of children" comment. This was uncalled for but this is an emotive subject so people will make extreme comments.

It's relevant because it's the entire platform they're using for the sort of "primary springboard" of their arguments. The most right wing people fear that the governments expansion of federal powers will eventually lead to the Federal government being the only government, and then an oppressive president who uses the state apparatus to turn it into a dictatorship. How realistic this is is up for debate. But to a degree, it's the only argument they can really throw forward without having it countered by "Well if you're going to hunt, why not use a rifle?" or "If it's home defense, why not use something more portable like a pistol?" Instead it's really more "Whats' an AR-15 going to do against a Tank?" (although the insurgencies in Afganistan probably provide at least SOME backup to the anti-dictatorship thing) I agree, its the only feasible argument that the right wing can make to explain there reason to want to keep semi-automatic weapons. But the thought of the USA government ever actually turning its own army against its people I think is absurd? Besides how would this help against air power or tanks as you mentioned.

My point is not about how many people agree or disagree with me. My point is you cannot say in life your opinion is fact, its not. Its your view. I know you are just trying to avoid answering the question, nice deflection but its doesn't change what I said.

I heard a different perspective from the right wing on CNN on the Piers Morgan show. The guys name was Ben Shapiro. He was highly intelligent, articulate and made cogent points. I thought to myself what a massive difference to the debate this made compared to that lunatic Alex Jones. Ben Shapiro is the type of person that groups like the NRA need to get to speak for them. I still support the banning of semi-automatic weapons for the average citizen but if I am being honest I would say its the first time I have see Piers Morgan "lose" one of these debates. Shapiro did make one ccontroversial point, IMO, and that was a typical one asked by Piers Morgan. Piers asked him " why does any average citizen need a semi-automatic weapon?" Its a reasonable and valid question. Shapiro answered " in the future we may need to defend ourselves against the tyranny of our government " I am not sure how relevant this is?

Syrian dictatorship continues slaughtering children
BruceVC replied to Humodour's topic in Way Off-Topic
This question makes no sense, because his information source not trustworthy. I don't trust reports about war crimes from organisations funded by Military lobbyists, CIA and Banking elite. They just want casus belli for war, because wars extremely profitable for them. It's capitalism, baby. Yeah and your sources don't come from anti-western, RT funded, conspiracy based websites that believe in global companies pulling the worlds strings where 9/11 was perpetuated by the Americans themselves. Your links are no more credible than anyone else's, sorry to tell you the truth. -
Yeah, yeah. Since when is your opinion fact ? Many people, including me, feel Fargo has marketed PS 2 perfectly fine.

Syrian dictatorship continues slaughtering children
BruceVC replied to Humodour's topic in Way Off-Topic
The conflict in Syria was started because Assad chose to use the might of his army and police to quell the initial political dissension to his dictatorial rule, he refused to make any serious changes to give his citizens more rights and political freedom. The background to this civil war is almost identical to Libya. This conflict would have been over ages ago if Russia and China hadn't vetoed any military actions through the UN security council. I blame Russia more for this as they can influence China so the blood of the thousands of people killed is on there hands, not that Russia cares. Now the war has become complicated. There are several Islamic fundamentalist groups that are now involved in fighting for the Free Syrian Army. These groups have links to Al-Qaeda so it makes it hard for the West to supply weapons to them. I believe that Assad will be defeated in the next 6 months but at what cost? Thousands of people killed and the iinfrastructure of Syrian destroyed. This could very likely have been prevented if Russia hadn't vetoed military action, there wouldn't have been boots on the ground in Syria but the contributing Western countries could have stopped Assad using his air force by controlling the air. A similar military sstrategy that was used in Libya could have been adopted. "Well done Russia", for achieving a political stalemate at the UN and helping the drag the conflict on. -
That was an informative interview around the background to this project, nice one. I am very excited about this game. Many of the key people who were involved in PS:T are involved in this game so I am confidant it will be successful. Fargo also does explain that even though it won't be set in the actual Planescape universe it will share the metaphysical concepts and narrative idea's so I have no issue with them using the name Torment. I'll be supporting them on KS as I don't see any abuse of the name for funding purposes For me this is really exciting as I will be playing Planescape for the first time this weekend

Wow, I hope Witcher 3 will be open-world, but its not a huge deal if its the normal linear chapter based game I love. Sorry, I guess people are use to sarcasm I think thats what he thought you were being

OMG, I don't think I have ever seen a more embarrassing display in an interview than what Alex Jones demonstrated. Who is he? And I can't believe that people that want to own firearms actually would want to be associated with him. His petulant insults about Piers Morgan running away from the UK, wanting to have boxing match with him and then imitating how he speaks made me cringe. Yes calling him a raving lunatic is fitting and apt.

Remind me why the South African Constitution is rubbish? You need to be careful when you make blanket insults against a country that is based on your ignorance, it undermines your point and you come across as some kind of uninformed and emotional fanatic. I am sure that everyone thinks there countries Constitution is superior to others, but in the South African example I really do. The South African Constitution was crafted at a time of profound uncertainty in the world. Communism and Apartheid were ending and the old government of South Africa really didn't know what would happen when the ANC, the previous enemy, came to power. They had to protect businesses, human rights and current institutions. They created the Constitution and did an excellent job. Some of the points that make it superior to many other Constitutions in my opinion are We recognize that everyone has a right to human dignity and equal rights under the law irrespective of your race, religion or sexual orientation. So for example this means that Gay people have all the rights of straight people including marriage. We believe in free speech but not if it infringes on a persons dignity. So there are certain derogatory words you cannot call people. We know in South Africa that words can and do effect people Another annoying point you made is comparing the South African Constitution to the one that the USSR used, thats an egregious analogy. At least use a Constitution of another Western, Capitalist Democracy. Because thats what South Africa is. Its not some Communist country .

Make Companions Memorable
BruceVC replied to TRX850's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I agree memorable characters make a huge difference, as mentioned by others for me having interesting party members is one of the reasons I make certain choices in the game. I enjoy there feedback and I consider what impact a choice I make may have around my relationship with them. It would be interesting to see a situation where a party feels betrayed by you and then leaves the party only to have to face him later in combat. -
I'm waiting for a sale on the Zodiac Tournament DLC, hopefully it happens during the Spring Sale. I'm basically looking for any excuse to jump back into Sleeping Dogs. Hi Keyrock Zodiac is only $5, I did buy it. It adds about 3 hours of extra gaming. By the way I loved SD, and I only played it because of your endorsement so thanks for the tip Oh and the Controller makes a huge difference.

" burning marijuana fields " !!! Is nothing sacrosanct in gaming anymore ?

Err, I do understand how the system worked, and none of the dialogue options both in language or intent were particularly difficult to understand. That is, after picking one; the short descriptions on the wheel were not particularly enlightening, hence the guessing game. Now, I'm not a native English speaker but I understand the language just fine. I just didn't like the dialogue system. The options are too restrictive, trying too hard to entertain and losing sight of the goal which in an RPG is building your own story and character. They turned my character into their character by yanking away control both in customization and dialogue, and turned it into one I would never choose to play at that. Okay I understand what you meant now when you say you didn't like the dialogue
-
Wow, thats a serious indictment of DA2, the way you explain it I can understand why you didn't enjoy it. But are you sure you understood what the various dialogue options meant, maybe thats why you didn't understand how the system worked?
-
I never bought that DLC, but Zodiac is about 3-4 hours of extra gameplay. Whats cool about it is you fight enemies who use new martial arts. Like a kick boxing style and you can learn new styles of fighting. But to be honest those are a little wasted once you finish the main story as when would you use them as the DLC are very quick to finish

I don't believe that for a second. They're just using the most vague marketing terms and boasting about performance without backing it up. CNET are reporting that the 7A comes with an AMD R-Series APU with Radeon HD 7660G which struggles to run Arkham City and Metro 2033 at low resolution, let alone Battlefield 3, Skyrim, or Crysis 2, considering this isn't even out yet, it doesn't really have a chance at games released after it's available. The 5A as a desktop solution for general use is great, although it's slow and expensive enough that a Chromebook or Chromebox is going to be more appealing for just web use, and a laptop is going to be the better deal, even with a SSD added to it (I'm hoping manufacturers just switch). This is my concern, the Video card and its capability

I bought the the Zodiac Tournament DLC, you should get it if you enjoyed SD. Its lets you fight new enemies in a Blood Sport style theme
