If it makes you feel better Bart, Volo gets under my skin pretty regularly. We all have our kryptonite.

You lost the point with what I was making with the goblin? Thanks for confirming you don't know what you're talking about. I apologize for not getting your point, I guess? This has been a pretty weird conversation.

Good work Volo.

It is an insanely tough job, it has never sat well with me when people try to paint it in a different light. You can be critical of a person's decisions and policies while still respecting the office and sacrifice it calls for. I consider it unpatriotic to do otherwise.

I'm with Gromnir, I seem to have lost the point Hiro is trying to make about the goblin. Sure, but not for anything that has to do with racism. So disregarding racism, why is it out of place? I haven't even played the game, so I can't really speak with authority, but it sounded like it would be annoying to hear that joke every time I clicked on the goblin. But both you and Gromnir have given loads of examples that make it pretty clear that this is standard stuff in the BG games.

So would you agree it's out of place? Sure, but not for anything that has to do with racism.

Did you even read what I wrote? The other companions break the 4th wall because you're using the mouse. Another example is Minsc saying, "you point, I punch". How does racism and goblins looking the same equate to you using a computer mouse? You come across as arguing for arguments sake. I didn't say it was a great place to use the joke, I just said it is a pretty standard joke line. The original conversation about this goblin made it sound like he was pushing some political agenda. In reality he is just making a joke, even if it falls flat.

I need to pick out a new keg. I am thinking something local, but I might order from bevmo if I can get something good.

I can see where it would get old, but that is hardly a commentary on racism. It is a pretty standard joke.

The greatest thing to happen to SNL is the fact we can watch clips on hulu now instead of watching the whole show. It is much easier watching a few minutes here and there and skipping the ones that look bad.

Bring back Rob Schneider and I will watch.

I'd wager when "freedom" means "free to lose your job at any time, become homeless, and die of an easily curable illness because you didn't have health insurance", dem chains start to look pretty appealing, if they're attached to free stuff. In 1994 I was in the US Marines. I got out and found another job. Later in 1994 I was a paid staffer for Don "Big Daddy" Garlits during his run for Congress. He lost, I was laid off (obviously). I borrowed money from my parents and started a business. In 1996 I ran for political office, that didn't work. I lost my whole life savings on that mistake and my business failed because of that. I found another job and went to school at night and finished my degree. In 2002 I got a job with AT&T as an RF Design Engineer. In 2009 I was "downsized". I found another job. In 2011 after carefully managing and investing my money I left that job and started a new business with five other partners. It was a success. In 2015 we sold that business and I became a contractor for the company, Last year my contract was not renewed and I was let go from the company I helped start. But you know what? I found another job. The point I'm trying to make is everyone is going to have setbacks in life. They will only destroy you if you allow them to. If you lose your job, find another one. If no one is hiring in what you do nearby then look elsewhere or do something else. My who career has been shaped by one disappointment after another. I didn't let any of that keep me down and I have little sympathy for anyone who does. And I have 0 respect for the people screaming to be handed free stuff, paid for by the folks who actually go out and work their asses off everyday. Every dollar someone receives without working for someone else worked for without receiving. I totally agree with you on the job front, but the health insurance stuff sticks in my craw, because since you got out of the Marines in '94 health care premiums have outpaced inflation and have lapped the increase of the average salary many times over. It's a terrible system that needs to change.

My theory was always that Krezack and Lord of Flies were the same person. They disappeared at the same time. edit: This forum ebbs and flows. I think it's pretty tame right now.

Ignore the naysayers, it's a great game and a great new world that Obsidian has hand crafted.

They will step in when it comes to personal attacks, but it isn't easy to allow debating and not have some of it get dirty. We all cross the line sometimes.

Ok, played the first scenario of Hard West. It's a pretty interesting system, to say the least. The story is pretty good.

My apologies, you both seem to have very healthy strategies in regards to dealing with this type of thing.

I stand by my advice. People like this feed on your reaction.

Probably just best to ignore it.

That doesn't really have anything to do with the topic at hand. I doubt there is a lot of crossover between the people that have overcome intellectual disabilities to attend Universities and the people these "social justice warriors" you guys are so up in arms about. It's actually pretty insulting to even compare the two.

Are you still in the tutorial area? It should only take about an hour to get out of there. I enjoyed it quite a bit once I took back city hall and started exploring the whole New York area.

I know there is a big choice between who the main protagonist is depending on how the first game ended. I dont have a save anymore, so hopefully it lets me choose what I did.

It's payday, so I picked up Hard West on sale and Banner Saga 2. I started a replay of the original Banner Saga, and I'm torn between continuing or just starting the sequel.
