Gorgon

I liked the witcher better as well. The postcards were silly, but he was supposed to be a Don Juan, getting farmer's daughters into trouble, so it kinda made sense. DA failed to move me, probably because the entire premise and setting was so generic and uninteresting. Parts of Orzamar were good, other than that not many highlights. Some of the voice acting was so bad I found myself hitting the escape button to skip on my first play-through. Withcer was intermittently good. I liked the two village areas for instance.

easy as goblin pie

Kargain on the other hand is awesome.

I just cheated my way into the Alister romance. . . CRPG romance equivalent of fingernails grating on a blackboard. I wish there was some way to go completely dark side on his ass, turn him into an abomination or something.

It's difficult to convey irony in text, I thought I did reasonably well though. I don't know how you live to be an adult and not know what a foxhole is.

In any case in the face of your own imminent demise there are few people who would not start praying just on instinct, hypocrisy be damned. Incidentally, who thinks god is not real just because we created him(her). Whether he is just an elaborate joint psychological construct or not, he still real to a whole lot of people, and and everyone deals with the reality created by his worshipers. It ought to make one consider the nature of knowledge, especially if you are one of those people who insist on discussing religion entirely in empirical terms.

Vehicles are the next obvious step. I don't think it's unrealistic at all. Whether there is going to be much interaction with other vehicles, that I'm not so sure of.

What, like actual holes dug by foxes.

I thought they gave it to Obsidian, is he there to ensure the presence of mudcrabs ?

'People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China' (PLA). Apparently. Nothing shorter would do of course.

What do they call the Chinese commie army anyway.

hari kari with cyanide capsules Awfully difficult to stab yourself with a pill. Anyway aren't these Chinese soldiers. Don't think the Red Army was ever into the whole death cult thing. Soo.... is it done yet ?

Is that a joke ?.

I got that free twice, once bundled with a GFX once with a mobo, neither versions worked propperly. Also STALKER 1 has been released for free.

If you have such little faith in humanity that you think the only way of inspiring people to do good things is faith, then I suppose you could view it that way. Personally, I'd rather not. I suppose I view faith as the notion of insisting on the archetypal concepts of good and evil, and that the way we conduct our lives is subject to some manner of definitive judgment, that it all somehow matters. Despite all evidence to the contrary. That kind of naivety is useful. When faith is used as an instrument of discrimination, that is obviously a negative, but I am perfectly capable of separating the desirable effects from those that are not. We are not discussing particular denominations after all.

Self hypnosis can be a very powerful tool. Look at Travolta and Cruise all wound up on crackpot energy, out there getting it done. If faith can do that for you, and even make you happier in the process, why knock it.

I never said I had real evidence of God's existence. I said I know that God exists due to a personal experience. Two completely different animals, Lare. Oh man, it's the "personal revelation" again. Tell me, what differentiates your revelation from a hallucination? If I had a hallucination in which a giant bunny rabbit told me that he controlled the weather, should I believe it? It's a personal revelation that is shared by millions, so that is the difference between God and your giant bunny. Supposing for a minute that an enormous supporting apparatus had been constructed around the notion that giant bunnies had the answers to the really big questions and that by believing in them your immortal soul would be assured good digs in paradise... Now that would allow such a comparison.

Chinese citizens have to go through the bother of filling out a form if they want to leave the country, if that's what you mean. North Korea really is a nightmare, which doesn't make it a very good yardstick for comparison or generalization.

He's wowing Lare with his assertiveness and the knowledge that if one engages actively in a debate with him he will sometimes bother to look things up and post links. It's an impressive trick.

I believe the waiting list for a plywood 'trabi' was more than 6 years in East Germany, i both places people rushed to buy the second the money was in their hands because you never knew what the value would be tomorrow.

hwat ?

I've never played mass effect, but 4 euro's, that's practically nothing. Is it any good ?

China and North Korea are so used to glorious leaders they don't have any experience or expectation of individual freedom. The chinese just don't care enough about democracy to insist on it, the government in recent times has had a history of making concessions when it feels they are necessary. China could probably transition without bloodshed. North Koreans keep their heads down and shut up or disappear without a trace.

From 2007 though

Dragon age people, really ?. I must have missed the brilliant part completely the 2 times I played through it. Although I did play through it two times I suppose. I'd call it above average. 7-8/10. Absolutely, despite everything missing from the game.
