Is that you, Arvid?

It isn't fraud. They are still delivering a video game. You are upset because they didn't deliver on all their promises of content. That's perfectly reasonable, although that is a risk when you crowdfund a game. They offered a refund, which is actually a bit above what you should expect when you take part in crowdfunding. But that isn't enough for you? I've got multiple unfulfilled games I pledged for on Kickstarter, some of them are going on 5 years now. Odds are I will never see them. That sucks, but that was a risk I took. InXile is releasing actual playable games, with real graphics and game mechanics. So excuse me if I think your plight is a bit trite.

I'd say the refund alone almost doesn't cut it. imagine paying for a game in Steam and then finding a completely different game in your library. sure, you can get a refund, but it doesn't change the fact that you didn't get the game you had paid for in the first place. Come on. This is ridiculous. You are talking about a video game here.

We paired cookies with some beers today, it was pretty fun. I also went full nerd and made a rubric for our beer drinking, and now we assign letter grades. Black Butte Porter was the only unanimous A.

I keep my heat at 65 degrees and I am paying out the nose.

We learn more from our failures than our successes.

Tigranes, that sounds confusing. That is the appeal of EE. It makes a classic accessible. It also opens it up to a much younger audience. That makes plenty of sense as a business model and probably helps the rpg genre as a whole.

I played the original BG's when they came out, and last year played through the EE versions. The game ran well, looked decent on my modern computer, and had very little differences in content. I was happy. I wish more games got the EE treatment.

Whoa there, no need to get personal. I do my best work that way!

Yes, that sounds like the lesson you should learn here.

Yep, as Zor said, it isn't a report, but rather an opinion piece. The problem is opinion pieces have become the focus in the media today, instead of back page fodder like they used to be.

14 or 15? It's not really the point, and it isn't a compliment or an insult, just a reminder that we all come from different perspectives, and age is a major part of that. edit: The age was a guess as to how old you were when the Charlie Hebdo massacre happened.

Charlie Hebdo - freedom of press, terrorist attacks, etc.? rings a bell? Always good to remember that Ben is young and his point of references are not the same as many of us. Charlie Hebdo was two years ago, and while I am sure he is familiar with it, it probably did not have the same impact if he was 12 or 13. That is something I always try and remind myself in the classroom. My students did not live through 9/11, Columbine, or many of the other major events that shaped the world we live in.

Lego Batman - the first twenty minutes of this is not only the best interpretation of Batman ever, it is one of the best openings to any movie ever. Go see it.

I love the last one "I like the challenge of trying to craft pants before my mom walks by."

I said the same thing about The Witcher.

I'v also been playing Madden 17, but then I realized I cannot move the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas, and I have lost interest.

This sentence is painful.

Yes, I'm sure you and Trump are better versed on this stuff than the judges.

Elder Scrolls Online has kind of turned into this massive world with a number of well done game systems. It is basically Daggerfall restored. I am pretty impressed, it was a solid mmo and now it is an immersive sandbox to play in.

2 weeks into his term and Federal judges are telling him he is acting unconstitutionally. Jesus.

This may be a long 4 years. If we get a Nixonian type disgrace, which doesn't seem too unlikely, do you think he steps down? Sorry, that was a dumb question.

Mutant Football League released stretch goals. I'm hoping they get to that full season mode!

I don't know, Trump seems to have incited the disdain of a good deal more of the typically moderate or apolitical crowd than any of our recent Presidents. Sure, the typical liberal is going to froth at the mouth just like they did with Bush, but that is to be expected. Just like the hardcore conservatives are going to blame the media for all of their woes. But the divide seems much sharper right now with very few people landing in the middle.

Got a sweet Desert Retreat in ESO. Glad they finally added Homesteads, it gives the game some needed personality. Crafting furniture is a bit of a hassle. I can make myself a bunch of amazing magical weapons and armor, but a basic chair requires hard to find crafting materials and a blueprint.
