  1. 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.
  2. I guess some people have an instinctive need to write diaries.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. You can bring a hooker to Shani's party. lols, awesome.
  14. What is meant by incarceration without trial. Judges can already imprison suspects while an investigation is being held, to keep them from meddling with witnesses and evidence gathering. That can go on for months in a high profile case. The police have to convince a judge first though.
  15. Can you do her another time and get a less skanky dirty postcard. I noticed there were two options with Tris.
  16. Does any one know what choice you have to make during the bank robbery to remain neutral
  17. They were all guilty and all contributed
  18. One salamander has a line to the effect of I kinda like the idea that it's all supposition though, that there are no indisputable facts. In Chapter two it is possible to do almost all the quests at once in random order, this breeds a lot of confusion about what you are supposed to do and why. On one hand I like not having to do everything in a particular order, and on the other it's very confusing. Focusing on one quest at a time and playing it to it's conclusion seems to help somewhat.
  19. This is exactly the reason games never ever get better, they just get prettier. Is there some cosmic rule that prohibits proper movement mechanics in CRPGs. Take Assassin's Creed as a forinstance. Overall the game is a train wreck, but the movement and combat are good, you can climb almost anywhere. Take that and stick it in a proper CRPG. As an aside the creators of Guildwars, the MMO, are building a new engine. They decided to ask people what features they missed in the old one, among the top ranks is jumping, climbing, flight. And guess what they are implementing it. It's not a fantastic game or anything, but it shows what gamers want often bears no resemblance to what developers decide to spend time on. Time and budget often means that developers stop short of setting the bar high enough to create something that really inspires.
  20. Everything is very pretty, but you are glued to the ground with the exception of certain stone structures you can scale just by moving. Running around trying to figure out where the game will actually let you go can be frustrating. Especially when you are defeated by a pebble or a two foot fence.
  21. It feels a lot like auroa engine KOTOR style.
  22. I cleared my savegames because I wanted to replay on hard. Didn't get far though.
  23. It doesn't take long between the phases if you damage it or use knockdown. 4 knockdowns or so and the next phase begins, if you use endurance potions that's pretty fast.
  24. I can sympathize with nudists, it's pretty comfy if the weather is warm. No chafing anywhere. They usually don't go out of the way to show you their goods, it's just a preference.
  25. Can someone explain to me the injustice of flashers always being fugly men, as opposed to hot women.
