Or one for time spent parenting vs. people who have never parented a minute of their lives. And no, watching your younger sibling for an hour doesnt count, at all, in any capacity.

IMO, its because having a physical copy gives people a feeling of ownership where a digital copy is at the discretion of the supplier. The faux GoG going out of business and the resultant "what about my games" is a good example of this. If we could somehow "own" the digital version I dont think as many people would be adverse to it.

What about, one of the best games ever? Oh, thats definately the vibe I get from almost everyone. Its just that certain comments weigh more, like Gromnir calling it "navel gazing", which is the worst possible reading for me.

Ug, thats what Im afraid of. Ill probably buy it "just to have it", and see what all the hubbub was about from you guys.

I wish I was a Q.

Look at the size of that paw! Was Baby part bobcat or something? And yes, thats a bit creepy, as I would guess they pressed his dead paw into the clay. Oh, and sorry for your loss. I hate it when pets die.

He hasnt been around since January. Wonder what happened to him.

Agreed. I just bought and downloaded the game from GoG and it looks terrible. I made it past character creation and buying a few things at the inn in the beginning before I had to turn it off lest it destroy all fond memories I have of the game. Can't you circumvent the rez with just the wide screen patch (and some gui hack), or is my memory really that faulty? I gather from the previous posts that TuTu seems to work.

Green card? Citi-zen-ship? What are these strange words you speak? He should just jump the fence like everyone else and then demand we dont deport him, while taking advantage of our social programs.

^Should have sold it on Ebay. I caved to the sirens song that is cheap games and joined GoG. Dont know what Ill buy but seeing $9.99 for BG w/ TotSC and $5.99 for Arcanum was just too much to pass up.

So, just to get the stupid questions out of my system, the games GoG sells are already fully patched and guaranteed to work in modern systems and OS's? I already saw BG is speced to work in Win7 x32 and x64, is that the case with most/all games?

Isnt that why GoG is letting its users download everything they bought? I would assume the same would happen if Steam ever goes belly up, or at least I hope so.

Take notice of what? Was this supposed to make people flood to GoG in droves and buy up all their games? If anything, I would think this stunt would be counter productive and give people the impression that they are unstable.

I see. Too bad Steam doesnt sell it, Id love to pick up the entire BG series w/ expansions, all patched up and ready to go.

How does that video in any way suggest a marketing stunt?

Good for you? Again, Im not discussing the topic but the legal process. The voters of California, following the letter of the law, changed their state constitution to reflect their wishes and one person has the power to erase that. A state costitutional ammendment was nullified by a handwave! That should make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. How does an ammendment even make the ballot if its illegal/unconstitutional? Clarify this position please. The only limits should be on things that go against state or federal law.

I dont know the details either, I just find it revolting that one person can squash the will of millions who legally ammended their states constitution to reflect their wishes. Marriage is not protected by the constitution afaik.

Dunno. How do you deal with tyranny of the judiciary?

Lol, take a deep breath there little fella. I dont hate anyone, or have a stake in the outcome, or even live in said state. I simply refuted the statement you puked forth earlier. Regarding the bolded nonsense, wouldnt the constitution be "stupidly easy" to reammend the other direction or is that only for whoever you disagree with?

and yet the concerns of 5% of the population trumping the other 95% doesn't? Eh, Im not interested in getting into right/wrong. I was simply refuting your statement that "it takes a lot for something to be "legislated" by the courts" when in fact it takes very very little to randomly overthrow a states legally binding constitution. Whats the point in even voting on anything? All we need is a federal judge to decide for us how we should live.

Regardless, my example was to prove that it takes almost no effort to "legislate" through the courts. ONE mans opinion trumps millions of registered voters. Sickening.

You were correct right up to this point. As we can see by the example being played out in California, a judge does in fact have to power to completely ignore the legal state constitution and issue a ruling (re-allowing homosexual marriage) based on nothing more than his feelings on the matter.

Does each dorm room have an attached bathroom or is it a barracks type setup?
