Well I believe that censorship actualy is pretty amoral and unethical - so it probably fit well in that quote

Guys dont get sidetracked - this is not problem of hookers, male or female, killing of people, oppresing people, purple people. Does Not Matter. Problem is censorship and where cencorship leads...

No, Freedom is freedom - there are no need for point of symbolism - because its freedom. If freedom have limits its no longer freedom. (ofc in our world perfect freedom doesnt exist because we are interacting with other people so out freedom is limited to freedom of others. killing hookers in virtual word doesnt interact any way with freedom of others) Edit.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Please, Bruce tell me, who will decide what is ok and what is not for game? PLEASE Its not my suggestion, I am merely supporting article that Malc posted But if you are supporting it, you must consider consequences, don't you think? It's like - I supporting Hitler because he will make Germany strong - well but you should consider that by that you will have WW2 and millions of jew killed. Consequences

For us it's looks like Europe do want be taken by force... Defenseless Europe spread legs and loudly scolding us... Some sort of invention. WTF? How Europe expressed such wish? Did someone say come and occupy us? Or is it just your mental disorder?

I want to post something supportive but I realise that you are probably disabled so f**k off xD

Maybe, but Russia will pay high price for it as it seems, actually I believe its more probable than any revolution in Russia wat revolution, wat high price? ololo, only oil resources in Crimea have price a few trillions dollars, i even don't talking about price of land, cultural objects and adding of 2 millions loyal citizen to our Evil Empire. Tiny Western sanctions can't force Russia to do what you saying. Actually our Empire can only return land back to Russia, for example all Ukraine is just nothing more than temporary occupied by enemies Russian territory and someday this territory become our again. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/world/europe/in-taking-crimea-putin-gains-a-sea-of-fuel-reserves.html?_r=0 Westlings really mad if seriously believe that people who don't surrender to such powerful enemies as French Empire, Antanta and III Reich (though these invasions cause terrible consequences to our people ) - such people surrender to modern Western posers because of their childish attempts to make hurt to us. Yeah yeah Mighty Russian empire, we get it. No-one asking for russia to surrender - west just want to russia keep promises they give and return Crimea back to ukraine - simple as that. And I thouhgt you stated that you are from Ukraine

It seems the expansions won't get a HD makeover. No need, my complete edition plays just fine even today (one of few games which old really well even in graphical aspect)

Seems nice, but I am not too much into puzzle games

Oh dont be mistaken, sanctions are long term process and Russia is already starting to feel first consequences. If anybody thinks that Russia can live without good relations with EU he is very naive. Russia is definetely big powerplayer in region but only via military power, its economy is pretty weak. And as we all know best strikes are on weak spots

Maybe, but Russia will pay high price for it as it seems, actually I believe its more probable than any revolution in Russia

This is actually a very good point and by my logic gangbangers should also be considered victims of a social construct Yet I don't feel that sorry for them..is this is wrong and I don't want them removed from games. Am I discriminating against gangbangers? Probably...but I never said I was perfect, I think you guys need to accept that, I'm not perfect Oh don't worry Bruce, I think a lot of people here thinks/knows that you are miles away from statement 'perfect' (if its not in conjunction with some pejorative expression for intimate male/female parts)

I have feeling you are one needing psychologist if you think that NPC in game is real person... You funny Of course I know a NPC is not a real person but the principle of killing someone in a game is still relevant. Many games do represent a form of symbolism and can tell a RL story. So we need to sometimes consider the RL impact a game may or may not have Yeah strange that killing fathers of families doesnt have same impact on RL huh? Killing prostitutes is not RL story? It never happend in RL? You are contradicting yourself. And again, even if we consider that it may have impact on RL who will decide what have and what doesnt have impact? You?

I have feeling you are one needing psychologist if you think that NPC in game is real person...

But you agree this can be removed from the game without it really impacting your experience? That's his point Same can be sad about - i dont know - riding a bike. Are you advocating that if someone have complain about riding a bike it should be removed because you know - you can still drive in car so it doesnt have impact on your experience? Beside who will decide what will impact MY experience and what not? Questions, Questions...

I dont know, I like old fallouts much more than wasteland - that 60ties feel it have and all that jazz

Doubt it can work here, too many supporters of current regime. I suppose EU just want get Crimeria back to Ukraine

You know what you're really good at Bruce? Empty statements. Empty statements that don't mean a damned. "She made good points." "This is a good post, everyone should read it." "Very good points!" "I'm impressed!" You never seem to address anything specific. Ever. Perhaps if you realize this, you would realize why I have such a difficult time believing or putting any value into a word you say. Because quite frankly, you can fully remove all of your posts from a discussion and the only thing that changes is there's a lot less "excellent post!" comments. So having said that, if you don't mind I would like to see an ACTUAL comment and point made; I would like to know why it doesn't absolutely infuriate you to realize that many of the most significant anti-GG proponents take offense to sex-positive women, sex-positive characters and sex-positive ideals, when as we all just saw, we have been given an example of a woman who is just that and - quite frankly - we all seem to be more or less in agreement that she has been one of the best speakers involved in the discussion of GamerGate thusfar. It's infuriating to me because as I said, it presents a message of "this is a person of extreme value, but let's discredit them ENTIRELY because cleavage." The very same philosophy is being provided to video games. Maybe you think video games are harmless and don't care if something like GTA V disappears off shelves because of this attitude....but what happens when it results in a speaker not being taken seriously, or not being heard out? That's just one of the reasons I support GG, and yet here you stand with an anti-GG stance acknowledging this brilliant woman, and yet you still stand in support of a side that would like her to shutup and put a shirt on, and would like any real women or games with sex-positive female characters to kindly go away or keep quiet. Why? We are clearly holding back our potential in game creation and our potential in meaningful discussion by doing so, so why do you turn a blind eye to it? Well the anti-GG side isn't some monolithic group that is united on all it views. So you would have people who would dismiss someone like Mercedes automatically and that's wrong but that's not justification to now distance myself from the criticism levelled towards GG. But I will say that GG really seems to evolving to a more acceptable social movement and that is good news Also I don't care if she has nice cleavage, I care about what she has to say when it comes to these types of debates . I also don't judge people on how they chose to earn money and that includes hookers, stripper and any other possibly morally questionable profession. I believe you shouldn't judge anyone until you have walked in there shoes. Well I would not consider morally questionable progefesion hooker, or stripper - they work hard to earn their money. Politician, emplyes of non-profit organisations aiming on politica agendas (such as ethical minority supporters, feminist movements etc) funded by government cash - those are morally questionable professions

Lol, again no proofs. State duma secretely discuss blah-blah... Not so secretely if some distant Ukrainian propagandists from Canada known about this.... Foreigners so naive Vedomosti are not russian papers?

Was downloading yesterday 1,5 gig patch, will get in today if I get out of work!

meanwile in russia http://ukrainiancrisis.net/news/6083 Seems like Putin have problem how to call non-existing russian soldiers in Ukraine xD

So you are saying that Ferguson rioters plundering shops supporting criminal who just robbed store and then threaten policeman are similar to separatists = at least we can agree on something xD

To be fair, i don't know any game what was backed beforehand (more investment for people than buying after release) because of the promise to be like IE games (BG2 in the minds of most people), and then the game plays completely different. Many people wanted an IE game by Obsidian, not a game made by Obsidian without publiser. Others apparently wanted the exact opposite. So it's natural that one group will feel ripped off. Agree 100% about the UI though, it's prety bad. Yeah but IE games are based on D&D which they clearly stated dont have rights for and dont even want to make it because of limits of ruleset for PC game

Movement is never free unless you can attack while moving. Sorry, your example isn't even in the same league. Firewall is an active cast, so the wizard has to spend his "turn" on it (and a spell slot) and even then it may expire before the party retreats. Disengagement attacks are passive procs that just pop out of nowhere for zero resources spent (time, casting slots, etc.) every time when a very simple condition is met. Summary: disengagement attacks are reusable indefinitely with no negative consequences whatsoever and the whole mechanic is a very definition of anti-tactical crap. And there you are wrong, diengagement attack have it cost, and you even mentioned it. If you get into engagement - it cost you attack if you want to use your character in some other place e.g. moving away, not to mention time it takes to move into position, its very similiar to mage casting spell.
