A normal person would not stick his head in a campfire, but this is Eddo we're talking about here.

Thats among the dumbest things Ive ever heard. 200 million guns in civilian hands but its illegal to buy a bulletproof vest??!!! What's next, outlawing bicycle helmets because they might dent the car when you run over a cyclist?

The cat has been out of the bag for 230 years, let the Americans have their guns. Sure, the protection argument is a bit dubious, if you truly wanted to protect your family, youd buy them kevlar vests, not shotguns. But most people have them because its fun to shoot anyways.

I think its a bit absurd that ammunition which usage is banned my the Haag convention can be used by civilians. Also, wouldnt it be better to use plain FMJ rounds so you run less risk of killing people?

If I had a gun, I would shoot people with it

No, he doesnt.

Ive had it up to here with Fantasy already! No more!! *shakes fist* Also, you are confusing the genre "fantasy", with the word "fantasy". The genre is clearly defined as being about Elves&Dragons (with some variations).

The only way episodic content works is if youve already got the episodes ready, like you do on television. Game development is too complex for you to be able to reliably spit out one episode a month on a set date without seriously compromising the quality

I have a cheapo motorola, the W220, and it can go for over a week without charging.

I dont understand how anyone could even think of releasing another MMO while World of Warcraft is out there, theres just no way youll be able to compete. I take it you've never played "Inquisitor" (WH40K roleplaying game) ? And I take it you've never played an MMO Unless they go insane and do something no one has ever seen before(which the publishers would never allow) the game WILL be about a bunch of leet lvl60 characters in terminator armour of doom meeting up every night to fight the evil greater daemon instance, in hope it will drop the doombolter this time.

Episodic gaming is just a bad idea, kind of like chopping up a full-length film into 10min pieces and releasing it over the course of a year. It's even worse than cutting a game short and point towards a sequel you dont even know if you're going to be able to make; like Funcom did with Dreamfall.

Ive got the real(PC) version Jade Empire on pre-order, and I will buy Mass Effect aswell when its released on a proper format. Every game released for the 360 and PC plays better on the PC. I mean, half the challenge in Gears of War comes from trying to aim with a thumbstick.

That was some really cool moves, hollywood stunt quality. But, you americans dont use latex weapons and stuff? I know theres some official WhiteWolf LARP game that makes you use cards and dice and bizarrethings. I think LARPing is unbelievably gay, but in Sweden we do use latex weapons to smack the *** out of eachother like these German boys. But unrehearsed fights do tend to look pretty silly no matter how real the weapons look

There's a famous restaurant back home where the owner rules acording to "Its MY restaurant, youre here on my terms jerk!" Its awesome. If you like ask for applejam for your christmas ham or use the wrong utensils for your food or anything he disaproves of, he will kick you out. Its a very popular place. If I had a bussiness, Id run it the same way. I mean, owner and staff should always outrank a mere customer.

Although its strange that people are still using AGP, Ive gone through 2 PCI-e motherboards already. You can get a new mobo for under $100 (still it will require you to buy a new CPU, GFX and possibly RAM with it " )

The me wants teh 8900GTX The Geforce8 series support HDR+FSAA at the same time?

I can run higher resolutions than the native 640x480 on my LCD TV, what happens is that it gets blurrier just like if you run a lower resolution. With LCD's you run at native and native only.

I myself prefer contemporary settings with the occasional Sci-Fi attack.

Star Wars is Sci-Fi. It has space travel, lasers, robots, and aliens. Even the force has been explained scientificly with the midichlorians and so on. There are aliens with magic-like abilities in the Star Trek universe, yet noone goes and draws paralells to fantasy. I have to admit I was one of the instigators of said event "

After years of similar debate IRL at the game design department of my Uni, we have now established a very easy and simple way to determine what genre a game belongs to: "If the publisher calls it a fantasy game, it IS a fantasy game. " And thats it.

Yep, didnt intend this to be another debate about semantics. "Swords&Sorcery" or "Elves&Orcs" is the same thing.

This is a poll to research if there is any support for the idea that a CRPG has to be fantasy to appeal to a wider audience. Note that there is no option for "I like all genres" since that information is redundant. as for genre definition; its pretty simple. here are some examples FANTASY: Baldur's Gate, Elder Scrolls, Planescape Torment, Gothic NOT-FANTASY: Fallout, Bloodlines, KOTOR

K2 should have included a part after you beat Kreiah where you returned to your crew and explained to them why you had to go into deep space to hunt the true sith, there should have been a mushy goodbye, a big fat film of you "riding into the sunset" and maybe a "5 years later" showing what became of your party members ..or something like that. A game like K2 needs a hollywood ending

What constitutes a good ending is a matter of personal opinion(even if some common factors do apply for 99,9% of mankind), but what constitues an ending can be clearly defined. If there is no detectable climax and no resolution, there is no ending, the game simply stops.

Well... I dont think she has very much AC
