  1. Yup, this alone makes the game worth trying. It can't possibly do anything but improve gameplay by a huge amount. ohh good. Now you are allowed to use the best tactic for the job without being penalized at level up.
  2. I don't think you need a moral anchor to keep from being an annoying prick on the internet, you just just need the resolve not be an annoying prick even when you can get away with it. That comes from growing up.
  3. If the goal is just to make the OS run smoother and maybe install a game or two. 32 or 64 gb drives will do. They are quite cheap.
  4. I find earplugs disgusting, you can't share anything with those anyway without sharing your ear-g.ook too and they tend to either fall out or hurt with extended use. No, a real man greets the world with a large headset around his neck and several meters of surplus cord in his pocket.
  5. Looks like botched plastic surgery
  6. On the one hand you have companies who want to set prices regionally, and on the other free trade. I think free trade has the moral high ground here.
  7. I'm sure game companies don't like it anymore than resellers of used games, but transfer of activation keys which are one use only is perfectly legal despite whatever the EULA on the game says. It's within fair use parameters.
  8. Gorgon replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
    Haven't people been living more or less full time on the international space station and MIR before that.
  9. By the way, big is good sound wize. I use heavy duty Sennheizers that I had to get a converter for to fit in my mp3 player.
  10. I have good experience with creative headsets. Just avoid the cheaper models, they are quite a bit worse than even the cheapest Sennheiser. They are smaller, but not very robust and can easily break if moderately manhandled.
  11. The whole pre order thing ceases to make sense when there is no physical media. Download, sure, but its not like that's a huge hurdle.
  12. One of the DLCs for Shogun 2, the unit pack, has never worked for me. The other expansion only loads 50% of the time. STEAM has admitted that the fault is with their DRM. So yeah, I'm not a fan either. Having a large stash of games you can install from anywhere with an internet connection however has made my work day a lot more agreeable.
  13. Fallout would make a good MMO I think, the only problem is that most MMOs seem to suck because of the treatment they are given during production. They rely too much on the players creating content among themselves, NPC interaction is typically crude, Hubs are just a collection of functions, quest, traders etc. Attempts to make the setting really interesting usually don't survive the process.
  14. Pigs are naturally as cleanly an animal as any other. We are the ones who confined them to small spaces and exposed them to parasites by having them stand around in their own feces all day. I remember watching this film where they let 20 production pigs into a patch of wild and they all started making nests and rediscovering social behaviors they hadn't used for hundreds of years. There is no particular point to all of this. Well, maybe that I wouldn't feel so terrible about having a pig in my living room.
  15. Achievements are pointless and stupid except for looking at for five seconds after having beat a game. Since the rule is that there are hundreds of them and that you get one for doing anything for the first time, and again whenever a stat hits a round number, I don't even bother with that. I'm glad I could clear this up for everyone.
  16. Part of the equation when you have to incorporate a lot of different races and armours. If it was just one possible main character I'm sure he could have been flashing a bazillion fancy animation sets. That said, I wish it was just a little bit better.
  17. I'd say Narnia is primarily a children's book and the point was to entertain and do a little bit of teaching on the side.
  18. Escape from New York and The Warriors. Classic 80s stuff.
  19. I imagine there is a difficulty setting as well ?.
  20. I'll probably get it, once I hear some evidence to its merit from other places than marketing departments and game review sites.
  21. The kinds of characters I plan out never seem to do very well in-game. Probably because of the learning by doing mechanic. My battlemage's spells are too weak, so I use my sword instead and I never recover the disparity. There is always something more pressing to spend points in at levelup. I wonder if jumping is in, it seems almost to have been lost to the ages these days.
  22. I'm probably too late and I haven't read the previous, but I'd say being a customer means a psychological expectation that the party you are engaging will try his utmost to make the exchange pleasant. You want to be wooed, but not too clumsily. The seller is there to give you a small taste of the satisfaction you are supposed to get out of your purchase. More broadly an expectation of customer care.
  23. The Romans had a good take on distribution, they knew that mobs in the street had to be paid off for their support, otherwise all that wealth could cease to matter rather quickly. The worse the economy the more insistent the realisation that money is just something we made up to keep us from eating each others' children
  24. It's the natural development of the privatisation craze isn't it. If people feel like they are getting more for their taxes they will feel less miserable about paying them.
