You seem to be carrying a lot of baggage, have a lot to prove. All this aggression against the geek culture. Comments about people being desperate, not having a sex life in that other thread, now here a comment about people's looks. What exactly is it you are compensating for with all this aggression?

The most annoying thing is that the "bonus" coins old subscribers get, they only get if they re-sub. Right now my balance says: 0 Cartel Coins, Subscribe to earn potential 1050 Cartel Coins. And that is what really pisses me off. I understand a lot of limitations and agree with quite a few. Honestly, I even agree with the hide helmet function being unlocked with coins - after all it is purely cosmetic. But trying to get me to return with free stuff and then saying "But to get the free stuff you have to pay" that is a bad joke. I'll upload a screenshot.

Meh, same rules for everybody, a lot better. Had a quick test when the f2p came and I could still use all the purple stuff I got while being a subscriber, which was nice. Hotbars being limited to 2 and taking almost all of my money I had as hostage wasn't that nice though. I had all 4 hotbars full of stuff I really needed and I have nothing nice to say about how they want to make people pay real money to get their game money back. Edit: The differences of subscription/preferred/f2p: http://www.swtor.com/free/features I hadn't tested those of my characters who have good equipment. Especially as I am not sure how much currency they may have above the limit. My sawbones Ronja had several million credits at some point and though I spend a lot and gave a lot away when I quit, I am not sure exactly how much may be left and would be seriously annoyed if the money went *poof and away*

Looked into SWTOR over the weekend, now that it's free to play. My lvl 50 sawbones still has her name even after the server merges, so that is nice. With the sounds fethed up for scoundrels though, there is no way I'll play her... and with the F2P restrictions she is probably naked, unable to user her equipment. My lvl 29ish commando lost her name and probably can't use half her equipment either. deleted my sith sorcerer to pass the name to my Agent who had lost the name. My Sith Assassin managed to retain the name. My ratattaki jedi lost the name and I no longer like the looks of the character... but can't delete it as I'd loose the character slot. Meh. Played my agent and actually had fun. Did a black talon run and a couple of heroics, which meant that I actually teamed for a change, something I hadn't done in a while in GuildWars. The community Sith side was terribly immature though. Had to turn off chat whenever I wasn't actively looking for a group. Tried playing the Guild Wars 2 event. Got so bored during the first part that I didn't log back in the whole weekend. Maybe I'll play for a day next month.

From the short description you gave, you are doing the right thing.

Getting ready to bed and while brushing my teeth I looked in the mirror. I really need a shave... So I hope tomorrow I'll be able to post that what I did was shaving

Today I have been jealous of Cantousent's pizza. He is lucky I live half a world away or I would have raided his kitchen

Your dad got to come home for dinner? Damn! I was doing something wrong when I was still working as an architect

I'll agree with you and put my views on the other romances in the spoiler tag

Allow me a bit of nitpicking here and a bit of counterarguing there. "literaly the most annoying" Causes of annoyance are a personal matter. I found annoying the railroading of DA2, especially all the 3rd act. I have frankly never been as annoyed by a story as that act. So let's write this one off to personal opinion. "The most indirect" May be something negative for you, but as this thread shows, is exactly what the people who enjoyed it loved about it. So what is the point you are trying to make with this comment? "The most lazy" Is an interesting assumption. You assume that indirect story telling requires no effort and that spreading clues and information over a vast world is proof of a slacker. You state that you have not the time or inclination to search through Morrowind for all the information that makes up the story. Yet you pressume to then judge whether the story is ambiguous or not. The idea of Elder Scrolls games is the open world exploration - how that affects whether a story is ambiguous or not, I must confess is beyond me. I can understand that you did not enjoy the game, but selling yourself as the person who can judge who's opinion on the game's story (not storytelling, there is a difference even though you gloss over it) is good or not is just unrealistic... no, that is not the word that goes there. Though it would make for better trolling to use your adjectiv against you, I think the word I am looking for is "absurd". Morrowind: a sandbox game with a story that is very straight forward but rewards those players, who spend the time delving deeper, with further layers that make it the one story that Bethesda got right. But you seem to prefer to have the attitude you accuse others of having: "I don't like it therefor its crap" I'd say pot meet kettle, but I am not sure who in this thread would be the kettle counterpart to your pot.

Says a lot about IGN that does

Repeat after me: there have only been two Master of Orion games. There never was a Master of Orion 3. No third game in the series was ever made, has ever existed. Some misguided people may try to say otherwise. They may bring "proof" and talk about release dates etc. They are wrong. (Just ask Jack Ryder) A lot of people would like there to be a Master of Orion 3... but the sad fact is, there isn't one.

Siding with Branka would have given you a -10 with Shale though if I remember correctly.

In World of Darkness it is in a way what White Wolf had tried to accomplish with HunterNet - an online mailing list that could be accessible to players all around the world in any campaign the Storytellers allowed. Sadly it was based on the assumption that players and GMs would be mature and was soon flooded with werewoofs, elder vamps and silver katana wielding delta force. When we broke off into HunterUK we had a blast. I think there were about 4 standard groups using the list for some added roleplaying (and hating my Innocent ) The problem with groups playing in the same campaign is how you handle actions that affect each other. It can be rather annoying to appear at your gaming session and be told that xyz happened and you cannot react because the other goup did a weekend gaming marathon and is a month ahead. And the possible meeting of groups can be worse. We had quite a bit of trouble handling that in a AD&D campaign.

Changeling was one of the other options of campaign setting I had in mind. Basically what I told a friend in an email was: "I may be in town for a few months and run a campaign. It will be either Changeling, Warhammer or my own setting." But as a setting Changeling always intimidates me. Or WoD does in general. I can be a player in it, but Storytelling... I GMed WHFRP for over a decade, so it is the ruleset I am most confident with and always end up using. But I have been trying to broaden my horizons. You should run screaming; Warhammer roleplaying is a horror setting more than a fantasy setting. Tell your friend to look into the 1st edition Something Rotten in Kislev campaign book, if she can find it. The first of the three adventures is rather good and introduces kislevite nature spirits. You guys probably will love those Been reading up on 7th Sea JayDGee suggested. Some very interesting things there. But it seems a tad too heroic for my style.

Don't feel that they come close o Gran Torino though Obviously opinions vary

Those are his really good ones. If you have watched those you don't need to watch the rest. Can't remember what the rest was, but I guess that's my point

No idea then either. Having finishe dit in recruit should be enough.

Have you played it on recruit mode?

So an unstable person going on a rampage, murdering people is funny these days?

Lol, I see it, I must have it If it's good enough for Burt Reynold's to be it's mayor, it's good enough to buy

He has a small, dedicated following. Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as fear (because as you mentioned, they scare you), surprise (who would have expected Cullen to have fanatic fans) and a near fanatical devotion to Cullen (though we may have to scratch the word "near") and nice templar uniforms. I don't know about ruthless efficiency though. Apparently Cullen is the Figwit of DA:O

Salvation's Reach... been meaning to get ahold of that.

Started watching Coppers which is ok. The atmosphere I like quite a bit. Really enjoyed the first few episodes of The Last Resort but was bored to death by the latest one.

Good to hear. The internet is full of SIE-haters. Though it seems to be the same group of people who are angry that Sis isn't a romance option... Must be an age thing. I think I am getting too old for the internet.
