Dear Government,
Note that one does not need to be in an emergency condition to be admitted to a hospital. Hmm, a strange stipulation and scanning the website that reference 6 points to I didnt see anything related to that. Anyway, I guess in that case you can walk out and walk back in with a new emergency?

Torment: Tides of Numenera?
I totally understand. I already regret paying on a different KS but this one has me pretty excited. I wish they offered a tier that was the main game and DLC only instead of having to jump up to the CE to get the DLC. I don't mind this. It lets me take a look at the game before deciding to drop the cash on the DLC. How much more could that cost anyways?To buy it now its a $60 increase to go from Basic ($15) to CE ($75) but of course you get other stuff with the CE. Im not interested in soundtracks, anthologies, thumb drives or good will so all that is wasted on me. Obviously the DLC wont be $60 bucks all by itself so Ill just have to wait and buy it retail whenever it comes out.

Its kind of humorous. This is the same exact crying tears of blood that everyone did when D3 launched and their servers got hammered. A week later everything was fine.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS!
Uh...Scooby Doo has a ton of different versions. There is actually a channel on my kid's lineup that plays it all day long, and the newer stuff is pretty weird.

Bonus Bosses
Isnt monster/boss difficulty directly related to your party level? For example, if you tried to tackle Demogorgon at level 10 he was going to pimp slap you, if you tried at level 15 you had a fighting chance.

^Wasnt that the point of the different weapons? The cartoon looks fine to me. Different, but fine. They just better never touch Scooby Doo.

Update #44: The Rules of (Melee) Engagement
- Limited gold for merchants
Why does a mechanics mere existance "force" someone to use it in a degenerative manner? The answer is of course a lack of self control. Who cares why a person has chosen to play their single player game in a different manner from another? The answer seems to be "everyone not playing *my* game". No the "degenerate" gameplay is one that actively encourages an unintended consequence of the design. The IE gamemakers didn't expect the player to rest after every fight; they didn't say "Wow, this will be fun, every fight the player will press this button! Lets go for it". So to my mind there's no value in not looking at rest mechanics that don't create unintended - and potentially "unfun" - behavior in the players. Your argument that I was responding to is that you couldn't play the game "your" way but had to play it "Sawyer's" way; but my point is you are always allowed to play the game in only the ways the game allows play; the IE was just as limited in options as PE the difference is that if you want to press the sleep button after every fight PE is going to have you travel to a rest location. But you can still do it (from what I understand); the game just isn't built to encourage it as an optimal play style. "Actively encourages" is just another excuse for players that cant control themselves from pressing a button. From what I gather from your posts, you feel that if one method is "better" than another everyone will use that method. That opinion seems to run directly counter to everyones claims that they truely want to RP a character since all builds will vary in efficiency and capabilities. Perhaps they should create one lone build made from the best of every class and race so that way people wont have to "choose"? *nods sagely* And you cannot play the game "your" way. "Your" way would indicate that there is a choice in how you choose to work with the mechanics. The reality is there are almost zero choices available. I could choose to heal in the field after every fight or "rp" being a tough guy who only heals infrequently. Gone. I could choose to "earn" gold by walking back and forth to loot the continent bare. Now handed to you consequence free (unlimited inventory lol). I could choose to grind up a level to help me defeat that boss that just handed me my ass. Gone. And these are just the first few mechanics they have revealed. I shudder for what the future brings. Whether or not these changes jive with how *you* want to play is irrelevant, the end result is the removal of choices due to the fact that some infintesimally small percentage of players literally cannot control themselves from pressing a button on their UI. I can only imagine how debilitating that must be for their everyday lives. How does that not sound ridiculous to you? - Limited gold for merchants
