  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. If they were subjected to some contemporary pop music, it's understandable. You funny
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. I'm going to donate to this project, it will only be $25 but I'm sure every cent counts
  8. 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?
  9. Venting always helps
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. Unhappy, bitterly unhappy. Its a game based on the Torment concepts and narrative idea's so they need to keep the name Torment
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Nice, I think I'll be trying this game next. Generally I have heard only comments about it.
  20. Pretty much, i hope that France gets the balls for a total annihalation of those barbarians. Or rather capture each one of them and force them to slave labour and restore every single artifact while being forced to listen to Slayer - "Reign in Blood" in every waking hour. **** them and **** every piece of **** that support them. Luckily enough, i am not the one calling the shots here. Destroying cultural heritage really rubs me the wrong way. You know - us westerners are not really it position to call others Barbarians over such practices. There has been plenty of destroying cultural heritage throughout our history. I disagree that we can't get upset by there vandalism and call them barbarians, how do you think the Muslim community would have felt if the Americans had desecrated and destroyed Islamic mosques or religious sites in Iraq or Afghanistan? Except it wouldn't be done by believers of the same religion. In the end those sites are muslim and if muslims feel that they are blasphemous it's their call to make. Your point doesn't really make sense to me as there are different interpretations of Islam amongst Muslims and they have different places they consider holy in many cases. I would also say this has got nothing to do with religion but rather a lack of respect for objects or places that are considered sacred to some within Islam, so in other words barbaric behavior = barbarians

  22. I think it has but damn thats an evocative video, can't wait
  23. http://dgaider.tumblr.com/post/40361886357/on-romances-in-games I am vociferously supportive of Romance\Sex in my games but David Gaider, a senior writer at Bioware, makes some good points about the negative of Romance\Sex in games
  24. I think he legitimately tries to point out that Al-Qaeda is a broad term used for many organisations which are autonomous from Al-Queda leadership."Al-Qaeda linked" doesn't say much. It's just a convenient term for us to put it into context Edit: it's like saying "Anonymous hacked the playstation network" Who is in Anonymous? any-one who claims to be. And what some do for anonymous might not involve much more than a fraction of its "members" All you need is a Guy Fawkes mask and an internet connection. Maybe but I don't think he is saying that, I believe he is saying that Al-Qaeda never really existed and is a product of the West in order to achieve certain political and military aims. Its what certain conspiracy theorists believe
  25. Nah, a sense a humor is relative. You can't please everyone.
