So in a time that everyone is trying to get a foothold on the PC market because consoles are going the way of the Dodo; BioWare bravely goes the other way. "Here lies BioWare, they rode the bull" We need someone to mod chip the new consoles. Only way to get the devs to put the PC platform back on the agenda. Of course they are going to focus on the piracy free platform. Who wouldn't. And down the line of course they are going to do a PC port as well, it's still money right.

These are words that fantasy aficienados should know. Some of the common designations confuse native speakers as well.

Point being that things can never get really interesting because you have to be able to bring your 8 year old daughter. (I have an imaginary 8 year old daughter now, how about that)

Star Wars is never going to be what we want it to be. Disney owns it. It's going to be Pirates of the Caribbean.

I've been wondering about the physics of light sabers and I propose that a certain minimum of pressure has to be applied before it will cut/burn anything. So you could rest the 'blade' on your hand, but if you put the tiniest ammount of force into the motion you would cut off your own hand. The guard would kinda have to be made out of lightsaberish material or it wouldn't be able to block other lightsabers. Also the guard is often used offensively in sword figthing. What's wrong with it is that there is no provision for stopping your hand from moving/slipping towards the dangerous guard while using the weapon. There is also not a continuous barrier of lightsaberish material which would mean that the sword would break the first time someone used the guard to block and the deflected blow landed in the cross section. As far as the overall shape goes, if you can shape light into a basic tube shaped sword, a fancy European style longsword is surely not that far off.

Too many of the questions represent unrealistic binary choices. I don't even feel comfortable giving them a 'maybe'. If forced, I think I would answer 'it depends' to about 90% of them.

So yeah, that's not the right thread.

Time to move on to other things.

Don't get mad on the internets ?. It accomplishes nothing. Tackle the ball, not the player. That's a football reference, not the American kind.

Whenever I return to this thread it's a little more of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE

Daily mail... Maybe we can get the history channel in on the action. I'm sure Hitler is to be found somewhere in the background pulling the strings.

Yeah that's pretty tasteless. Either that or it''s the American way. When in Rome, make lemonade - or whatever.

The Iran Contra drug funding is a real thing as far as I have been able to. I can understand that one's natural inclination to dismiss it as conspiracy theory, but given that the CIA were up to all sorts of skullduggery during those years, it's not strange that people speculate either. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_and_Contras_cocaine_trafficking_in_the_US

Ohh come on really ?. Are you part of the 'race war' crowd now. Say it ain't so.

Yes I wonder, could that have something to do with not wanting bodies on the streets.

More importantly is that he doesn't tell them what they can do about it. He doesn't say; the relationship between the black community and law enforcement could be mended if the drug war were ended. He just says, "Well, use this anger for something positive." - Not a direct quote, but the jist of what he said. He needs to be more bold and actually name things that should change. Obama is a politician. As such he is far more interested in exploiting problems than fixing them. Politically they need black community to be in a constant state of rage and mistrust. That way they can run ads that say it's all the Republicans fault during the election cycles. Demagoguery does not work when folks are reasonably happy. That's the worst part of this I think. They whip these folks into a rage and then set them loose for very cynical and selfish reasons. If all racism, real or perceived, were to end tomorrow do you know who would be out of a job? Al Sharpton & Co. Makes you think every time you see him show up at a place where he can cry "racism". He's not up for reelection. Ex presidents typically stay ex, and isn't Obama supposed to be toxic for the democrats who want to appeal to swing voters. On the other hand I do think Al Sharpton needs to be that guy who shows up every time politically. If he didn't he could hardly call himself an activist, he would be accused of working for 'the man', being 'part of the system' like Jessie Jackson. No, I don't really think Obama has any stake in this other than appearing to be trying to mend fences.

Also don't understand the Dark Souls thing at all. Looks dated and boring to me. I realise that a lot comes from the save system and the combat mechanics so you have to perform well for say 25 mins to have a chance of completing a mission. I dunno, I guess I'm spoiled. The animations are weak and so is the creature design.

I assume this is on the Rome reboot engine, which is quite a bit worse than the old one. Don't know who is making this now. I thought they went bust. http://store.steampowered.com/app/325610/?snr=1_4_4__100_6

I would probably get it on sale, but in Danish Origin everything is always 500 kr (about 90 $). Obviously deliberate not to have a PC version be cheaper than a console version of the same.

Sounds like it still has a lot of those 'do this one way and one way only and if you miss a step you die' Ubisoft missions. Remember how annoying the Asscreed eavesdrop missions were.

I thought they didn't build cruisers anymore. Too many eggs in one basket kinda deal. Better to spend that money on 5 smaller ships instead of one giant one, unless it's a carrier of course.

Appart from the fact that it's pretty gross even if he didn't mean it litterally, to my mind one should bloody well be able to tweet 'sieg heil' or whatever you want, it's got nothing to do with the tourney. If he said it, during the tourney to someone in the tourney, that would be another matter. It would be in the purview of the organisers to censor it.

It's multiplayer terminology, part of intimidating the opposition. Does not refer to a sexual act. I do think that when organisers ban people for tweets it takes away from the point of the thing. These tourneys are supposed to be highly competitive, that's why people like them.
