  1. I know I know, but he made such a passionate speech. I mean a strong central government, with a strong military, merit based and egalitarian? Where people are free to follow their passions? 10/10 would join.
  2. I ran a mile something today with a friend, uphill and downhill.
  3. If you want to experience the story Illum isn't long at all, after that it's the two Malgus Flashpoints.
  4. Cultist, come on, we know it's you.
  5. **** it let's make a game in a fantasy Mesoamerica with giant magic snakes, Jaguar mounts and general Aztec dickery.
  6. Let Kain/Loghain explain this in a rousing speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAds4kH7QDE
  7. I hope he says Obsidian, considering he's posting on their boards.
  8. Yeah it wasn't cool. They never should have put him or her in the game. Changing topics, I would like to have an operations like the caverns of time in WOW.
  9. I know it's awful. Like, I am sick or go on vacation and I still get paid just the same like the rest of my friends that make salaries in other jobs. Also, when my boss says "Allan, I noticed you were working late a couple of days last month. Do you need some help with your tasks? I don't want you getting burnt out." That and the other annoying things like RRSP contribution matching, reimbursements for buying gaming software and hardware (EA gave me money for contributing to Project Eternity). Never mind that they still feed me when I do work late. Or that time that I sustained a serious concussion playing ball hockey and was bed ridden for 2 weeks with post concussion symptoms and they said "don't worry about work or money. Just worry about getting better" and accommodating the 2 weeks of half days after that as I slowly got better. Or when my personal life went into shambles in early 2012 with huge fractures in my social structure and I was given free access to a professional to help me through that. I'm sure many people in sweatshops look over at me and go "dude, we're totally the same." But I'm sure pre-EA BioWare was a beacon of proper working hours and non-"sweatshop" conditions, right? Fans don't care about employee working conditions in the slightest, all they care about is whether or not they like the game. Plenty of people here that enjoy games that are oblivious to the fact that they were made on an 80 hour work week for over a year with epic employee attrition after the fact when they realize it's not sustainable long term. Well I'm glad to be wrong about that then. I've read some awful stories. Still the benefits you describe are pretty standard here in the Netherlands. (except maybe giving you money to spend on P:E) Canada Eh? We're not talking about Bioware Edmonton. But EA at large, who is an American company and thus have "American values" in their work. Or can you tell me that your conditions are the same for all the other EA locations in the States? No right?
  10. Come on, I don't want Alanchu to lose his job.
  11. HK is one of the more well down boss fights in the game. Anyway, it cost me some credits, but I got the rest of Marka Ragnos robe.
  12. I'm more angry at the Exile's characterization. "Oh Revan! I love you so!" That's hyperbolic on my part, and the devs clarified that it's not romantic love.
  13. What are you specifically mad about? Revan's characterization?
  14. I knew them NKKK, a company of infinite jest? Friends, Obsidianites, internauts, lend me your eyes; I come to bury EA, not to praise them. The evil that companies do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their shares. So let it be with EA. The noble RPGCodex hath told EA was decline, if was so 'tis a grevious fault, and grievous hath EA answered for it. Here under leave of 4chan and the rest- for they are honourable men- come I to speak at EA's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But GabeN says he was ambitious; And GabeN is an honourable man. I hath brought many games home whose cost did the EA coffers fill: in this did in EA seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, EA hath wept: ambition should be made of sterner stuff: yet reddit says he was ambitious; And reddit is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what RPS spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: what cause withholds you then, to mourn for them? Oh judgement, thou art fled to ActivisionBlizzard, and men have lost their reason. Bear with me; my heart is in the coffin there with EA, and I must pause till it come back to me.
  15. The Mujaheddin of Afghanistan come to mind.
