Id like to read Monte Carlo's writing. Right now its -11F but were supposed to get above zero today, woohoo.

New Patch for StarCraft II Lets You Mod the Game Like Never Before.

Looks like it.

Unfortunately, Im not laughing with you, Im laughing at you. To think that only you have the pulse of what constitutes a "social injustice" and what should be done about it undermines your credibility and sort of makes you look like a caricature, imo.

Staring out the window I see a driveway full of snow that Ill go shovel in a little while. We pay a service to do it but they've been pretty crap this season (admittedly we've had a tough winter so far and they have been busy). Its one of those activities that I love to hate. I of course hate shoveling a long double wide driveway, but on the other side, it appeals to some primitive part of my caveman brain that likes to "lawnmower" the snow and see the clean driveway below.

My take on this is that its just the natural evolution of the old "entertainment medium X is harming our youth". Back in the 60's / 70's rock-n-roll or Elvis the Pelvis was scandalous, in the 80's / 90's claims that playing D&D could make you "evil", then through the 90's / 2000's there was that lawyer advocating that violent games could make you violent, now we see claims of over-sexualization makes people feel bad / inferior. Im not saying any of these are true or false, just that there seems to be a trend.

Great, now I went and Googled it...

^Shingles maybe?

At least BG1 has respawning enemies in several places. And in BG2 there was spawning enemies in several places when you rested. Hmm, I cant point my finger to a single occasion but its been years since I played either. In BG2, are you referring to random encounters that could spring up when you tried to rest? I wouldn't consider that respawning enemies that you can sit there and farm. EDIT: @Yonjuro: That's what I thought, not true respawning, just random encounters.

Honest question because I cant remember, can anyone point to any IE game that had respawning enemies?

You will receive a soulmail. Just kidding, I don't know how you will be notified.

That was a stealth edit by Amentep. Alan Moore looks like Hagrid.

^He looks like Hagrid.

Iirc, there is almost no stat improvements on level up. Sounds like it will all be gear / skills driven.

Ron Jeremy as Mario makes me lol. Does someone need their pipes cleaned...

You're an excellent DM Tep. Some day you should resurrect A Dangerous Game.

This Spider Makes Fake Spiders. But Why?

Just fyi, 1) Stamina automatically regenerates but maybe you meant Health? 2) Spells and abilities automatically replenish via cooldown. 3) Inventory is unlimited. 4) Havent read anything about ammo but would not be surprised if its also unlimited. 5) Strongholds take money to fix up but I don't remember a recurring carrying cost. Link? So yes, if after battle your weapons and armor repaired themselves then it would be the same as your examples. Otherwise, not at all.

Clash of Clans on iOS. Its strangely addictive building up my village.

Good question. Maybe they will simply increase the Speech skill check requirement?

That was cool. Id never seen the end of DL before.

Isnt there a similar system already in place? Iirc, when you lose all your Health and "die", you wake back up with some "disability" that can only be rectified by going back to a rest spot.

Nothing too extreme. My wife won an all expenses paid trip from her work so airfare, hotel, food and alcohol were all covered. Night one was the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay, night two was Javier's in Aria, and night three was Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville, which by far was the most fun of the three. Good times and I even managed to get out of there only down $100 in gambling. Also took in a comedy show called Defending the Caveman, which was pretty hilarious.
