Humodour

Tunnel Hermit is a fire elemental in disguise and bathes in the flames. After his fire bath, he tracks down the scoundrel who stole his loot and, opens a portal to the plane of fire, and tosses him through it.

Americans have less welfare than other Western countries yet sit on their arse at home all day more often. Something tells me it's mindset and attitude rather than access to welfare that's at the heart of that issue.

So you're against universal healthcare? Work for the dole? Public education? Public lawyers? Innumerable other examples of good works produced by the government for the people which would be considered redistribution of wealth?

Hell Kitty is not a girl, she's just a sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

A super mutant appears. He fires rocket launcher at me. Using my almighty pensi of awesome I deflect the rocket and proceed to turkey slap the mutant into oblivion.

Not really, but thanks for acting like a knob. Really adds to the thread. Looks like somebody's humour detector is malfunctioning I'm not sure pretentious gits are capable of humour. Edit: If independent research verifies that pretentious gits do in fact contain the genes necessary for a sense of humour, I'll produce a formal public apology.

"And how he lost it." Has anybody played this yet? Thoughts and feelings? I really enjoyed the British Humour.

I used a loom once. It was funky.

The grouch?

So don't. There are plenty of theatres that are showing it 2D. That's how I saw it. As for the CGI: you people are over-reacting. You don't notice it. It could just as well have been real people in costumes.

Water vapour and physical cardboard folders...

I can see a pattern emerging. I think I can use complex analysis and write up a Python script to try and devise a set of equations for predicting the behaviour of this pattern.

He also predicts that browser- and social gaming will be the future. What an idiot. I agree with you that browser and social gaming aren't the future, but I also agree with him that Consoles are a dying breed. They're shining pretty brightly before they fade into obscurity, because the future doesn't look so bright for them. Although browser gaming has a lot of potential. C.f. Quake Live, Google Chrome, recent advances by Google and Microsoft in producing hardware acceleration and application-level speed for 3D graphics in the browser. But that's mostly tangential.

They aren't making one. Sure about that? No, I was hoping you'd feel wronged that I contradicted you and provide me with proof that they are. Call me lazy. But I certainly wasn't aware of it, and it doesn't make much sense given how old NWN2 (and the engine) is, that there has already been 2 expansions, and that the last expansion was fairly lacklustre (in quality and probably also sales). I haven't played it, admittedly. I do note however that Obsidian is working on at least 2 others projects besides Alpha Protocol, so something is certainly in the works.

What reads like 'just having a bit of fun' to you, reads like trolling and generally being a douchebag to others. Sometimes I like to argue for the sake of arguing, so I take the devil's side in order to propagate the argument. Arguing is fun. It's difficult to tell when you're taking the piss and when you're serious, because your tone barely changes. It becomes perhaps ever so slightly facetious.

Will you be releasing the source code and ruleset under an open licence?

But they're also riskier to produce. And we're currently not exactly living in times that encourages publishers to finance risky games/new IPs. The creative side of things I highly doubt, but yes the lack of brand familiarity is certainly a valid point (if only in the current economic climate).

*Groan*. What something is worth is dependant on demand, these are not seperate qualities. You could have the original holy grail sitting on your coffee table, it wouldn't be worth a penny if nobody in the world wanted it. I can't believe I'm having to explain this, it's downright trivial. You're just being moronic: when hiring, managers very very often consider how much the person is worth - it's all still part of free market dynamics (mostly because the person who is worth more is more desirable for that job, and the person knows that and can bargain with it). So your assertion that "jobs don't pay what the person is worth" is stupid, and is evident in the fact that people with degrees doing the same job as people without earn more, likewise for the gap between people with a bachelor and people with honours/masters/Ph.D. Now I expect you to try and bugger around with semantics (such as implying worth is an aspect of demand) and make us forget the fact that you matter-of-factly stated "jobs don't pay what a person is worth". Am I implying McDonald's pays what a person is worth? No, because the McDonald's labour market is saturated. But jobs markets for professionals are another matter entirely.

I buy the following games on Steam: old ones not on GOG.com, Valve games (way cheaper, and they use Steam anyway), games half their price in shops here (not hard due to both Steam sales and exchange rate), indie games, games under $20. For example, Dragon Age on Steam cost about $35, but in stores it'd be about $90.

It's actually both, if you'd both to put two second's thought into the matter. And often it's not even what the job is worth so much as demand. Truck drivers for mining companies in Australia earn around $80,000 a year, and so do the cleaners for such companies. Why? Because Australia, especially the mining states, have a severe skills shortage.

**** D&D, create your own worlds, Obsid. They're cheaper, richer, and less prone to licensing disputes.
