Humodour

It occurs to me that Objectivism is roughly interchangeable with sociopathy.

I am going to read Catch-22 and I don't care what any of you have to say about it!

Best rating scale ever, IMHO. Forces user to actually read review, prevents much bias, and gets rid of a lot of reviewer subjectivity.

Ew. Edit: Sorry, but... ew. I guess it means one less forum to moderate, right? Heh.

Sounds a bit... lame. But then if you don't talk to Sie right, she attacks you, so there are some bad choices. My thoughts exactly. Hopefully they implement this better than they describe it, because if not... bleh. Bad choices exist. Don't pretend otherwise. You can still make a stunning RPG with bad choices (and indeed, perhaps only with bad choices). C.f. Deus Ex, Planescape: Torment.

AP does seem to have a rank system though. I noticed that in some of the dev diaries Mike has "spy" and other assorted titles. I'm pretty sure those are more like Fallout traits/perks.

The other possibility is that a lot of game reviewers don't know what they are talking about or they are not playing the games with a critical eye. I mean, how else can you explain a absolutely horrible game like Oblivion getting such insanely high scores. But yeah, game reviews are highly suspect, I think. Generally speaking of course. There will always be exceptions. You both make good points. I completely avoid game reviews these days. A total waste of time trying to sort the gems (rare) from the trash (common).

I guess that's why PC games have been a consistent growth industry for almost their entire existence (especially the past few years), right? Because they don't sell too well these days? Damn I'm sick of the misinformation surrounding the PC game industry. It's not a ****ing zero-sum game because not only are the Western markets (Canada, America, Western Europe, Australia, etc) not saturated yet, but you've got the developing countries (Brazil, Poland, Russia, etc) all getting into video games at roughly the same time and they are definitely not choosing consoles.

If they don't make BG&E2 there will be blood.

Hey, that's exactly what your mum said! Oh my gosh, you are so funny! If you are not a comedian, you should at least consider becoming one. Mum jokes are so popular and so not overused, there's a bright future ahead of you! That's what she said!

You're on 10mbps and you're moving to ADSL2?

I had to bold a word for you because you clearly missed it.

China did no such thing mate.

Mine is the biggest.

Nor do I, but that's kind of the point: many of the things the Chinese government does or supports are only understood from the perspective of someone perpetually paranoid. Because... they are? For example, where do you think Chinese protesters (e.g. Olympics, Tibet, Uyghur) are sent when they're arrested and sentenced to something like '2 years hard labour' for 'subverting the state'?

Seven consecutive useful AP classes? Let's see: Maths, Literature, Portuguese, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Programming.

AP is classless, like Fallout and Deus Ex.

Hey, that's exactly what your mum said!

What do you mean? Bone like internal framework for musculature? That is correct. The Chinese government concluded it was unhealthy. Edit: The same Chinese government that encourages sending children to special clinics (only to be beaten to death) as a 'cure' for supposed internet addiction. They only just got around to banning electrocution at those camps.

Just to clarify, the previous post was not a joke.

Because it shows too much bone.

Cool. What about nice mods to the engine/OC? I'm not even halfway through the OC yet and still have MotB to go. :D

Maybe you're just bitter and read it the wrong way.
