Thanks Baley (Oh yeah thread pruned a bit ... this could be a fun thread, so let's try to avoid derailment before Monday ) 1: 2: Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -7.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67

HL: Blue Shift

Well I know that this thread has gone wrong ... or in Geckling Lingo - we've got derailment folks ...

Thread Pruned: Could we try to avoid unsavoury sharing ...

Please feel free to contribute to the ongoing K3 discussion here: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=40521

Thread Pruned: Could we try to play nice and not throw sand about ... or do I actually have to move and do stuff?

Ditto ... play nice in the sandbox ... /public service announcement ...

Okay before this deteriorates further ... I would like to add a note in regard to recent interaction and trolling. If a member causes offense, please do make use of the PM system. Furthermore, continuing to berate members of the community, does not speak to me of respect or tolerance. Just because one person baits, does not in the end justify equal/petty responses. /preaching

I had something witty - but then I'm not known for that so ... yep we've derailed folks ...

/looks for reviews ...

SS 2 - for me - is still the best blurring of action/FPS/cRPG ... it's plot and depth remains to be surpassed. Note: I too like the HL2 plot line fwiiw ...

Thread Pruned Okay I am just going to request this once - though I cannot imagine where/why there is propensity among some to discuss necrophilia - it really is not appropriate. So, if you really must flaunt and toss the idea around, perhaps a private forum would be a better place ... /not so subtle warning ...

I just bought the Valve Complete Pack - I will now be playing a lot of Half life for the foreseeable future!

Well thanks for the thread and the discussion. I think it's time to bid this one adieu.

With the mod squad working diligently away at your suggestions, the following are the Top Ten for Chris. The thread will initially remain closed while Chris adds his reflections and responses. At that time, the thread will be opened for general discussion that will likely last approximately a week. I am grateful for the suggestion that this concept be opened to the rest of the devs and I hope in a few days to start a new brainstrorm/input thread for the next dev to play the Top Ten game. And so I know I have shared the Big Green's constructive posting schpiel, this discussion will be monitored closely for spam/flaming/and general trolling mayhem. Do feel free to enjoy yourself, but remember that respectful and constructive posting is hoped for from the Obsidian community. And now, here we go: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) >_Do you believe computer games as a medium, will ever enter into the world of art like film has done- or will it always have to remain a form of more or less commercial entertainment? Do you think that perhaps in 10 or 20 years from now, people will be ready for the game equivalents of Bergman or Truffaut? And would you consider yourself as an artist or a craftsman? 9) 10)

Darwinia - lots o'fun

Well I was going to try to salvage this thread, but on closer inspection I think it's run its course ... perhaps it will be reborn, perhaps not, but thanks for contributing regardless.

Happy Birthday - though belated - and my surprise is no more jerk threads than are required ... one being almost too many

Thread Drastically Pruned: Due to an unexpected request to keep this thread alive, I have honoured the request and removed a lot of the very questionable behaviour. A reminder - discuss the topic, do not attack the community member. F

It indeed must be the charm ... as for this installment of TOMBS, I'm thinking a timeout and revisiting will do it wonders and ease Eldar's justifiable rants

And I suspect highly derailed - thanks for playing - parting prizes at the door ...

Well we seem to have migrated from the PG rating to the M ... and we all know what that means ... it's time to play elsewhere in the Supermarket where parents and owners would rather not see such things ... Aisles are closed for the time being - Management. FLoSD.ObE

...oh, crud...why, Jebus, why???...ya didna install that Norton crapola in yer rig yet, did ya???...chalk full o' holes an' a resource hog like noone's business...ya'd 'ave been faaaaaaaar better off wit' Kaspersky, Trend Micro, etc...send it back, laddie; send the bugger back!!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... Fwiiw, I have recently migrated all of my rigs and clients to Avast 4.7 Home Free Edition. Smaller footprint and much more manageable UI, imo. As well, there is the Professional Edition for those in the business sector.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to offer their input. The brainstorm is now over and hopefully the mod squad can collate this and have the Chris Avellone thread up by the weekend. Thanks!

Well rather than see this derail into sparring and personal remarks, let's chalk this up to a good reminder of Ye Olde from days long gone.
