Gorgon

I got a fair amount of quest related crashes last time I played it. After several quest statuses had changed at the same time while inside, it would then crash when I went back outside. I was able to get past it by doing one thing at a time, going outside to save, back inside to do another dialouge string, going back outside and so forth. This was particularly bad in the 'private eye section' (trying to avoid spoilers)

Intentionally removing the lan party crowd from their market seems pretty silly. Those things are having something of a renaissance with the advent of laptops that don't entirely suck.

Removing the music is probably good sense, it's not like it's a key part of the game anyway. I'm just continually annoyed at all the whining and general 'offense taking'. What we need here is a Muslim Nietzsche.

It seems that anything to do with the Koran can be offensive these days.

I was out walking my sister's dog when it took off into the bushes. Then it made a loud yelp and darted off tail between the legs. It seems it had stumbled upon a mother cat with its litter. The cat was tiny compared to my sis' dog but man was it pissed. Good thing my sis' dog is a coward, makes encounters with other dogs so much easier as well.

yeah, all can have their chance reduced by something like 50-65 percent, same with duration,there are also anti stun and ko potions. Trouble is there are always more fun skills to spend points on than stamina upgrades. Hell if you want to see all the combat animations there arent many points for anything else.

Don't take offense, whats a few shots off the hip among like minds.

I'm watching the Band of Brothers DVD set. I thought it would be the usual one sided American macho bullcrap, and well it is that, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

So you press a button to flick through available targets. Aiming is the very definition of an FPS, and you think it's 'annoying'. You are hereby dubbed a lammo.

This problem is as old as. If they run out of manhours, they release whatever is there.

Personally I wish the game experience was less balanced and even steven. Quite frankly the scale is too large for me to enjoy competitive netplay, so I only care about single player. This is where it becomes a little annoying that every race has the same basic ship types with different skins, and well a special ability or two.

I guess some people have an instinctive need to write diaries.

Well duhh, they don't notice it until a year down the line when they try to reinstall it and find out that they got the shaft.

I think you can't help but factor in that Britain actually has a very vocal Muslim extremist environment that they use an awful lot of time keeping tabs on. That's not quite so obvious in the US despite their more extreme measures. There have already been cases where the police needed to jump to an arrest to prevent terrorist action. Used sparingly, detaining suspects without trial can be necessary. There should be proper judicial procedures for this though, not just a 42 day charte blanche whenever the cops use the world 'terrorist'

Could have frozen time and put him back there, manually.

Hiro didn't kill anyone, unless the writers had a collective brain hemorrhage.

The midnight meat train. Decent pacing, decent acting, above average splatter. The plot wasn't worth the wait, and it wasn't the least bit scary.

No evidence is required with the 42 day incarceration, all you get is oversight from the home secretary. The cops don't have to stand before a judge and show cause.

I know someone personally who was held 2 months on trafficking suspicion without trial. If nothing comes of it you can sue for wrongful imprisonment and be pretty confident of a settlement, hardly makes it worth the while though. There is a case to be made that this violates human rights conventions, especially when the reason that nothing happens for so long in the investigation is lack of manpower.

The first series with Gordon Ramsey was pretty fun, mostly because he's so over the top. It's gotten pretty old now, and it's mostly about Gordon yelling at people and exposing how pathetically inept they are. I dunno if I really wanted that kind of attention if I were a restaurant owner.

Well don't people already know to stay away from Kebab stands if they value their health. The best you can say about those places is that you might not get food poisoning.

Well yes, that's just more wrong. I believe Walsh was hinting at getting it right. There has always been a loophole when it comes to national security and cloak and dagger stuff, they have oversight supposedly, but can probably bend the limits of the law a lot more. So now we are considering supplanting this leeway given to spies into the criminal justice system proper. That is not wise.

You can bring a hooker to Shani's party. lols, awesome.
