Quake 2 isn't better than the first one, either.

They are developing it in the sense that they are committing resources to its production.

Actually, I enjoyed the work a lot, so that's not the problem. Although, obviously, it's better to do the subtitling with a show you like than with one you don't. I'll stop derailing the thread, now.

I watched quite a few episodes (first or second season, I guess) of this professionally, doing subtitling, and watching it frame by frame really allowed me to see how awfully done the script and characters were.

It seems to me that the problem with the "torture doesn't work" argument is that it assumes that torture is just a simple hurt and terrorize them until they talk. However, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a lot more complex, developed and subtle than movie torture. Stockholm syndrome comes to mind, for example.

Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic, even if everyone thought I was. It's like demanding the army not to kill anyone. It's missing the point.

How does an intelligence service work if it can't torture people once in a while?

If you want people to stop smoking tobacco, just make marijuana legal at the same time you make tobacco illegal.

Sarah Appallin' is her name.

I was complimenting the British, actually. Their devious ways are what made them great. As for the knife carrying, I'd imagine all the gun freedom loving Americans should be for it not against it, on account of consistency. And the opposite for everyone else.

British culture is one of dividing to conquer, stoking strife, attacking other cultures for money and glory while acting posh and generally being hypocritical about it. The British Empire wasn't one of the greatest of all time by accident. The Sikh could teach the English a thing or four about honour.

Devil May Cry takes itself seriously? That's a new one.

The thing about smoking tobacco is that it isn't psychotropic in any perceptible way. So what's the point? It's like trying to get drunk from drinking 7up.

BG guru? Aren't these forums filled with people who've replayed the BGs a bunch of times? I know I'm one of them.

A Victorian age inspired setting with anachronistic technological achievements.

Bioshock wasn't steampunk.

Ooh, I wish I could be there.

The ignorant Americans don`t know about Zorglub.

Are you now arguing with me about taste? No. I remember three songs, two of those were incredibly boring. So, there either are good ones which I missed, or... I'm arguing with you about taste. Lelianas song and the one that plays in end credits are really good... but thats about it. He isn't bad but he isn't great either. I hope someone else does the FO-NV score. Wot, the suicide inducing one from that generic rock band?

It seems to me that if the plot isn't wasted away in the same fashion as Fahrenheit, and if the Simon says scetions aren't there at all, this could turn out to be a very interesting game, even if the core gameplay is as unsatisfactory as the bits shown in the videos seem to be. I'd play this if it was on PC.

You got the special edition from The Hut, already? I'm still waiting.

Closed for length. Go here to discuss ME2.

Old thread. Discuss away.

I get that, I really do. But none of this stuff is critical, it's all pretty much entertainment. So if you have to wait 6 months for something to release in your own country, why is that a big enough deal to break the law over? I've made the argument before that there is this odd sense of entitlement to the whole piracy debate that I've just never understood. The point isn't that region locking justifies piracy. It goes without saying that it doesn't. The gist of the issue here is that media corporations are essentially encouraging piracy and missing out on a potentially huge customer base by doing region delays. It's not about morals, but rather about lack of business sense on the part of the corporations. Steam's regional pricing , to give an example, essentially means I don't buy any game on it, directly, unless it's one of those bargains. And I'm essentially the demographic which services like Steam target. What's the point of that? Corporations should stop playing the morality card, which is pointless, and start offering competing services to the people who pirate. Imagine if, say, ABC, offered a torrenting worldwide service of Lost episodes, for, say 5$ an episode. Kind of like the price of a movie ticket. They could, as encouragement, guarantee speedy delivery, better quality files and extras like a preview of the following episode, stills of the show, wallpapers, and whatever. The bottom line is that to stop piracy, companies have to treat piracy as any other competitor.
