  1. I look forward to seeing the only politically correct Inquisitor ever made.
  2. I seem to recall a mention of cancer months ago. I hoped that would not be the way it ended and its sad to see I was wrong. Rest in peace.
  3. As usual only Zoraptor and exodiark make sense, the rest are just trying to bully everyone else into their conformism and well tended anti-russian racism. Tolerance died even before the R of Russia appeared in this discussion. People need to keep in focus that Russia, or Putin, or anyone else doesn't need to dance to the tune of whatever is considered hip and modern in a few scandinavian and anglo-saxon countries. Accept that, and enjoy the olympics.
  4. The question about creation. Do our creators want to destroy us? Were we an accident? A mistake? A random experiment gone wrong? Why did they make us in the first place? For what purpose? To play god? Simply to experiment? As some sort of desperate bid to survive? Introducing space marines into the equation doesn't make for profound discussion IMO.
  5. What I'm annoyed with is Steam's poor download rate. I have a 6mps connection and its almost never the full 600+kb but varies from 300-600. The whole point of an online client is to take advantage of your internet speed (and mine is merely okay) but if it doesn't do half of that most of the time what are they spending the millions on?
  6. They should invent some sort of quick trials for people who are caught in the act, the more it drags on the more pointless it gets.
  7. I'm bored to death of dungeons as well. I like exploration but the typical enclosed area filled with predictable mobs of increasing power and masses of loot should be a thing of the past.
  8. Well generally speaking, gun tech is so old that most guns are extremely reliable. If a self defense weapon that doesn't get much use breaks down in a critical situation , meaning the three seconds of your life that you actually need it for, then that's just the universe's way of saying that you patron deity rolled a critical miss and its time to scoop your remains off the table.
  9. Because that was an area that much effort went into in DA2.
  10. It should be trivial to make a police P&C adventure today. The market for those games is definitely there, and seemingly stable.
  11. I've finally grabbed some time so I'd like to play Left 4 Dead 2. If anyone is up for a zombie massacre this evening and tomorrow at GMT+1 drop me a PM here or send me a message on Steam.
  12. Yo dawg, we herd you like Skyrim so we put some Skyrim in your Dragon Age so you can Skyrim while you Dragon Age?
  13. I hear you, I couldn't properly sit for 5 weeks after watching Prometheus. Prometheus is so bad I was actually compelled to go to Amazon and write an angry review of it. And I never do that. I was surprised that a multi-millionaire like Ridley Scott would stoop so low to make a movie in which someone gets rolled over by a spinning space ship. And that is one of the more sensible scenes in it. I mean, why? Just why? He could have let someone else eat that garbage script and take the flak instead of making a fool of himself. Now I really love and appreciate the films that are usually deemed "art house" (a pointless label IMO), but I can occasionally enjoy a good blockbuster. As a kid I loved Jurassic Park. That's as blockbusterish as you can get. And that movie is watchable today. Of course I can now see how much of a kid's movie it is but its still okay. Hell, I still watch The Fifth Element on occasion. On the other hand I watched Star Trek 2 a few weeks ago. A bombastic mess of screeching metal, explosions that tear your ears apart, Unlikable characters, pointless action scenes - everything done to overwhelm the viewer and beat him into submission. Literally, two hours of screaming to stop you thinking about what you see on screen because if you do you'll see the sad sad lack of everything a good movie should include. What sort of people do they make these movies for?
  14. Dude, check out Polina's blog to see what she can do with just a pencil and a piece of paper. A good artist doesn't need all that Wacom stuff to make awesome drawings. I mean Cintiqs and Intuoses sure make it easier but still... :D Of course you don't need Wacom's toys but its a cheap way to get into the (usually) expensive hobby of painting. *I mean the Intuos line obviously.
  15. Wow, I like that outfit. She looks stunning and very similar to a ME character This just popped into my mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zWNJHS9PBE
  16. Apparently everyone and their grandmother makes games today.
  17. As a self defense weapon for a civilian, I think there's a lot of talk and theory over nothing. I read somewhere that US police statistics say that the overwhelming majority of scenarios where guns are used play out at 1-3 meters and 1-3 shots are fired total over the space of a few seconds. So basically any gun with do, shooter training is much much more important. Even luck is more important than the weapon itself.
  18. I have to say I'm more a fan of the automatic pistol, I've had more problems with revolvers than with pistols (and most of the time jams can only be cleared with a disassembly of the gun) I also prefer the low bore axis of pistols, revolvers have so much muzzle rise while the pistol recoils almost completely straight back which makes follow up shots much faster. Each to his own I guess. I've always been a huge fan of the TT Tokarev. Wonderful pistol, all steel construction, the 7.62x25 is a powerful bottleneck round, the pistols frame is very slim, no safeties but my trigger finger, the way it should be. It appears you've had rotten luck or manufacturing quality has dropped even more than I expected.There's no way an automatic could cause less problems, because unlike the automatic, a revolver is basically a clockwork mechanism with less "relative" factors in play. But I'm not completely surprised. A real revolver is a custom gun made by someone whose familiar intimately with its workings and tuned individually. Today's revolvers are machine made by the thousand.
