I'm a Pirana Bytes kinda guy, sortof, within limits. How broken is it, is it worth full price.

I think it's pretty straightforward, if you expect employees to work extra for long periods with no overtime you give them a piece of the action, stock options, a share in the profits. Otherwise you are exploiting them. Doesn't matter if they are picking up nickel in a scrapheap or making games.

Doesn't make you hallucinate though. Smoking too much and having a bad time is not the same thing, that's just a very common rookie mistake. I'm on Antibiotics right now, package says all sort of scary things like I can't drive, might cause nausea, hallucinations, delirium, hair loss. Kinda glad I'm almost done because my comb did come away with a lot of extra hair. Wasn't so bad otherwise. Like a free pass to be slightly stoned at work.

That's an unfortunate last name for a politician.

I've done it alone on tactician, the game is pretty easy. And the party of two Lone Wolves will just rip the content like a molten blade through the butter. Waiting for fixes to complete for honor. In the third patch they've done some poor decisions nerfing Act 2 experience, and now you are getting 0 exp for killing violate and vicious voidlings, but easily over 10k exp for mere exploration. That feels wrong... I got it on the first go. The secret is those massive cost AOE spells, blood storm, electrical storm or whatever they are called. If you got all the right quests done, they will have all have a source cost of 0. That way you just have to stay alive long enough for them to passively kill everything. I don't recommend going lone wolf. It get's too easy after a while and you miss out on party member quests.

If you want magical damage it's Intelligence and one or two other options, thieves get a single skill that benifits from Agility and damages magic armor, rangers have an elemental arrow ability, but it's not enough really. I wound up having four multi class characters and re-specing them constantly to find out what worked. The power gamer's choice will be all magic, since they can deal both physical and magical damage with necromancy, and summoning, simply because having a powerful summon, well, up to four really that can deal either physical or magical damage depending on what surface they are summoned on is a huge boon. Enemies have varied armor so having options is always better. I turn to walkthroughs if I get frustrated, no shame in that. Bloodmoon, you would have to get lucky to figure that one out on your first go. Similar quest near the end. You would be banging your head to figure out how to open specific doors without caving in and looking it up. Also, don't worry about maxing out a particular skill, the highest requirement is level 5 for any spell or skill and the extra damage payoff is very small for limiting yourself to only one or two and if you factor in cooldowns it's just unadvisable.

I'm not feeling the idea of spending a ****load on DLCs again. How different is the game, because it didn't feel like you got enough with your vanilla purchase last time. I mean there is inevitably going to be one for every race not encluded and you don't get units of renown either.

Is walking dead back on.

I dunno, maybe it was the editing but he had three 'big emotion' moments almost in succession and it seemed off. One long drawn out one for the reveal of the memory, a closeup for the cinematography and a freak out moment. It was so off tilt I was wondering if it was another memory, some kind of setup for later on. Not saying he did worse than Harrison Ford in the original though. Older Ford is a lot better. But yeah, generally speaking I was totally sold. I suppose the AI dimension was always coming, not enough to just do Terminator, man vs machine or synthetic. They were going to do Three life forms; Man vs synthetic vs AI. Except the AI waifu, charming as she was, didn't get to have much influence on events. Maybe if all three were in conflict it would have been too much Mass Effect/Deus Ex/Battlestar Gallactica. Did 'not Eldon Tyrell' remind anyone else of Illusive Man with all his talk of mankind dominating the stars. Post apocalyptic Vegas is never a bad choice, it even got a bit Mad Max in the sequence with the orphanage, a lot of thematic chance in scenery, I liked that. Blade Runner does not drive a ****ing Purgeot though.

Just came back from the new Bladerunner. It's pretty good. Go see it in Imax though.

The part I edited out said 'Idiot'. Don't get personal, don't use insults. Or get personal and use subtlety. Either way don't break the forum rules.

Yeah, the first few bread and butter episodes after the pilot and intro episodes and they were, well, not very good. The pacing is off for Star Trek. Eye candy stops being interesting pretty quickly, you need good actors and you need Star Trek type things happening.

^^ Don't do that please.

Well, regardless they are surely going the way of Blockbuster sooner or later. No need for physical media anymore.

Well, it says 'Only British citizens or UK residents have the right to sign'. That makes me a sad kitteh. I stopped going to Gamestop after I found out the sellers have a quota. If you go in an buy one new game you **** up their day. They have to sell you two used games for every one new. They keep all the profit on a used game. If their stats don't show that they get fired. It's so two decades ago. There is just so much social engineering going on, every seller is your best friend and tries to remember your name, makes me wann puke.

I'm not sure that constitutes a U turn back onto good idea.

^^ See what I mean, that's how it's done.

Well I understand it's tradition and all, a way of political protest. Still, I think you should get out there more. You have basketball, the rest of the world plays that and you are good at it. American football, baseball, nobody else really cares about that. If you played something the rest of the world cares about and played it regularly in internationals, that people actually followed. Well, that way you could concentrate on hating the Swedes and the Germans. That's much more unifying. I'm projecting here.

Why are they doing the nation anthem anyway. Seems highly suspect during a club match. The only. Time you do that is during an international. So you get a chance to shot louder than the opposotion and boo louder when they they try to sing theirs. Singing the anthem during internal club matches seems highly mastubatory

How can people get more than one go during a combat turn. It must be because initiative = an opportunity to use your action points and receiving a helping of recovery ap. i.e. Initiative = number of turns you will have. An initiative 30 has twice the ammount of turns as an initiatiive 15, that's why his card shows up twice in the same turn.

It's mostly for non combat use, income booster. However you can have someone else attack and have the rouge remain hidden while they engage. You lose your first turn though. Still useful if in certain situations, choke points in corridors and whatnot.

I'm at the halfway point, I think, on the volcano island and I've run out of steam. It's a good game but I can't take anymore. I'll do another run when I have vacation sometime. Lone wolf makes certain things easier but status effects are much more deadly. You can really ramp up damage though and make several kills on your first turn, which becomes near impossible with a full party. Also, there is a ring that grants stun immunity on the beginner island, assuming it wasn't random generated, I'm keeping that next time.

And then some! Ive also never seen: Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Its a Wonderful Life, Citizen Cane, etc. *runs* They made me sit through those in film class when i was a kid. They're all terrible. Well, Casablanca isn't terrible. It's kinda charming actually, but the rest. Don't bother.
