Margaret Thatcher is dead
I do have to thank Thatcher for pissing off British comic creators enough to create such fine things like Judge Dredd and Hellblazer. So thanks for making life in the UK so miserable that some people made some excellent comics. In the spirit of privatisation, you should install a toilet above your grave and charge people for the privilege of desecrating your grave.

Margaret Thatcher is dead
So that is why the British keep posting "Ding Dong the Witch is dead" on twitter. I agree with their sentiment.

Torment: Tides of Numenera
For some reason, I'm a bit angry that this raised more than PE.

La neuvième art (comics you've been reading)
Well this week, Uber and Hulk were fantastic and Spider-Man was much better than Slott's usual stories. Gaiman's run was definitely fantastic.

What Is the Most Important Factor for Making a Great RPG?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Grape_You_In_The_Mouth's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)The ability for a player to consistently role-play a PC exactly as they intend to do so is the most important factor in a role-playing game. The player should have control over the PC at all times, and must expressly consent to anything the PC does. This means that any dialogue system where the player does not know with complete certainty what the PC will do should not be used. There should be no cinematics where the player loses control of the PC to witness explosions.

Legally Obscene: Rape, Statutory Rape, and Child Support
So, okay, it's been a while, I want to make sure I've got everything straight. I'm Kreyzak, obyknven, and Cyclone Man, right? No, not Krez. Krez is a real person. EDIT: you WISH you were Krezack. I thought he was Felithvian as well.

Legally Obscene: Rape, Statutory Rape, and Child Support
This is ridiculous. Teen bangs a MILF and then yells rape. That deserves envy, not sympathy. Now identity rape is a much more sinister conundrum than this crap that should upset you a teensy bit more. Unless you are one of those "white upper-class males are the most oppressed people in the world!" Paultards.

Susan Wilson's Kickstarter discussion (split topic)
Anyone who can't spot this as a scam deserves to have their money taken. That being said, KS should really remove this project. It does violate their rules after all. BTW, if there are any supporters of this project on here I could use some money for alcohol school.

EA lives in a different reality
IIRC it was pretty half-assed, had quite a few plotholes, and never got patched to fix the multitude of bugs. It didn't generate near the sheer amount of negativity that DA2 did, but it got the ball rolling.

BSN was always insane. It wasn't until Awakening and DA2 that it went from annoying friendly neighbor crazy to mutilate your genitals and rape your dog crazy.

Ultra High Def Mars Panorama
Well that was pretty damn cool.

La neuvième art (comics you've been reading)
I quit marvel after that whole Schism debacle in the X-Men turned into the Phoenix Five, the blundering stupidity of the characters was too much for me to maintain any suspension of disbelief. Would you recommend any of those for a now jaded ex-Marvel fan? If you managed to stay through Civil War, Dark Reign, various other stupid crossovers, and the dread BND, I would recommend them. Hickman sometimes trips over continuity, but his work on Avengers/new Avengers has been excellent so far. I would also recommend Daredevil, Hawkeye, and Indestructible Hulk(stupid name I know) which are pretty good books. Scarlet Spider is IMO the best book Marvel is currently putting out, and almost makes up for the mediocre(at best) Spidey books. I agree for the most part about Avatar. Uber does look like it will have pretty good art though.

La neuvième art (comics you've been reading)
Does anyone ever? On-topic: Sorry OP, I do enjoy a few American/British comics. Will admit that most are predictable crap with hack writers(like Bioware games!) but the few gems are definitely worth picking up. I'm currently closely following Witch Doctor, Saga, Daredevil and Scarlet Spider.

Broken Age - Double Fine Adventure
I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to watch Doctor Who now. On-topic: The game looks very promising.

IGN asks which RPGs we are most looking forward too
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Pangur's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Who cares about an IGN poll? IGN will probably bash the games because they won't be cinematic trainwrecks that throw good writing away for explosions and ****.

size of the game
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to amarok's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I will be more than happy if PE is relatively short if content is rich and well thought out. Filler content and trash mobs for the sake of 40+ hours would not enhance the game at all.

Would you like to see Fate Points in Project Eternity?
That's kind of the point, don't you think?Character differentiation doesn't mean anything if every build will be as good in all circumstances. I'd much rather see a game where a ranger is genuinely more at home in the wilderness, a well-bred rapier-carrying noble in the royal palace, and a rough knife-wielding street thug in the back alley.This kind of diversity would make for much better replayability and would encourage you to build a diverse, well-rounded party. The only real pitfall is that you'd have to be careful to avoid situations where your critical path is completely blocked due to your character concept, but I think the Obsidian devs are smart enough to avoid that.I'm not arguing that all builds should be equally viable in all circumstances, I'm pointing out that having weapons restrictions does not impede certain classes and is not very effective at damage control in cities.

Relationship/Romance Thread IV
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Tigranes's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)So I got to thinking, one relationship I would love to see is an intense rivalry. I think that having a character driven by the desire to best the PC at X would be quite cool. What would make it even better is if it could be a friendly rivalry or a bitter one depending on the PC's interactions with the NPC. I think having multiple sub-types of a relationship would be a nice break from a binary choice of friendly or unfriendly. Also try to make all relationships have plenty of content.

Would you like to see Fate Points in Project Eternity?
The problem I see with weapon regulation in cities is that it only severely hinders warrior classes, while Ciphers are close to their full potential and Wizards are still able to cast spells. So while the angry Barbarian may not be able to slaughter half the town on a whim, the Cipher could still mind control them(or whatever the hell else they can do) unimpeded by the loss of their weapons. Unless Ciphers require some easily identifiable item to utilize their abilities.

US Supreme Court Hears Prop 8 Case
I thought it was something about children being forced to gay marry by the state? Anyways, I don't think that someone's right to marry should be decided by popular opinion. If it was, then one of my good friends could not have married his lovely wife in my state.(They're an "interracial" couple)

Anita Sarkeesian/Tropes and Women in Gaming
The problem with making games "more inclusive" is that translates to "insert X to appease group Y" in the publisher's thought process. Like many have said, this often means games will blend together and become more homogeneous rather than diversify. Also, the games I play are already inclusive IMO. I play RPGs, which have well-developed female characters and often provide the ability to play a strong female character. The PC can be almost anything you want them to be in RPGs. RPGs don't need someone like Anita(whose whole crusade seems to revolve around Nintendo platformers) to tell them that women are not portrayed well in them. Oh and I just watched Archer and finally realized where AwesomeOcelot's avatar is derived from. God damn that show is ****ing great.
