    I am on my way home from Vegas in much better shape than the previous trip. 4 days is pretty much ideal, we got to do a ton and I just started to get worried about how much money I am spending. It was a great trip, no luck at the tables, but good dinner and some fun times with my wife.

    My 1200 baud modem scoffs at your torrent issues.

    All you youngin's are showing your age with not knowing Derek Smart. He was a huge figure of controversy back in the day. Bigger than Peter Molyneaux.

    Geez, when did mkreku get so serious? mkranky might be a better nickname. I am in Vegas, so my options are much better than Hooters and Playboy. I am poolside staring at boobs as we speak. It is very mature and serious stuff.

    Last night I ate beef tartar and octopus. It was pretty rich stuff. I was pretty wiped out by it, but I was able to get a nice run in this morning and now I feel much better. It was pretty awesome running by the Luxor and Mandalay Bay, I do not usually make it that far down the strip. Now we are enjoying our high roller room for a bit longer before we move to a cheaper place.

    I am a bit surprised how many people say they did not care for Witcher 2 but loved Witcher 3. It is surprising that you would even buy it at full price in that situation. Personally I will wait for a deep discount before thinking about it.

    It dawns on me that I have zero interest in this. But I might change my mind when it gets closer to the horizon.

    it´s 16 in most states if that graphic is correct: It's a bit more complicated than that: http://age-of-consent.findthedata.com/

    That's interesting, since the first thing I wrote in this thread was "22 years is a crazy sentence." The original poster also said "Boy wants to have sex, teacher wants to have sex - so what's the problem?" The entire premise of this thread was to teacher sex. It is led with a picture of her and a halo over her head.

    Did he compare them ? Seems he reduced the plot in a same way, not a comparison. Nor did he claim they are high art. But oh well, usual dogs yapping. Why bring up a movie about the holocaust in connection with The Witcher at all, then? His argument seems to be that it is mature because it spits in the face of puritanical western values. Then he said my comprehension is not good enough to understand the game story, so maybe it also isn't good enough to understand his point.

    I am proud to be an American and I wear my flag proudly. I take part in the pledge of allegiance and the star spangle banner regularly and with pride. But of course I understand that the same symbol can have a very different meaning in other parts of the world and/or time. Sometimes symbols become too overwhelmingly negative. The swastika has been slowly phased out of many Buddhist temples around the world because of what the Nazis did. Is it fair that such an ancient symbol has been tarnished in such a way? Probably not, but such is life.

    I'm amazed how many people are defending a teacher sleeping with their students. That seems like a pretty basic no no.

    I'm not quite sure where I mentioned violence. I said abuse of power, that doesn't imply physical. Other than that, I'm not sure what you are getting at. Are you really defining sex as a basic physiological function? If that is true, you might be doing it wrong. edit: Ah, I got it, the cop reference. It is more a comparison of authority figures being held to a higher standard. How hard is it as a teacher to not have sex with your students? It seems like a pretty low bar to clear.
  14. Hurlshort
    They are still students. I even take issue with college level stuff like this. Teachers are supposed to be held to a certain standard. You folks don't want cops beating up on suspects, I don't want teachers banging their students.

    Someday I hope I can be as mature as mkreku. That way I can understand the comparison between The Witcher and Schindler's List. Personally I enjoy Hooters for the tight shirts and Playboy for the naked ladies.
  16. Hurlshort
    22 years is a crazy sentence, but you get jail time if you have sex with your underage students. That's completely reasonable. It's a massive abuse of authority.

    I'm pretty sure AOL is the front page of the internet.

    I've been playing around with Final Fantasy Online and RPGMaker 2003. I've created a nice map of the Gulf of Mexico and I'm thinking about recreating the Narvaez Expedition. We'll see, I've got time over the summer.

    Maybe Donald Trump is just trying to raise the profile of the Republican party by being a heel like Vince McMahon?

    I like how you are a white knight if you think sex scenes are dumb in video games. Gromnir the White Knight! This is a fantasy game where you fight monsters, swing swords around, and sleep with gorgeous women. There is nothing wrong with that, but don't try and fool yourself into thinking it is more than that. Next you are going to tell us you read Playboy for the great articles and go to Hooters for the delicious wings. Bioware isn't any better at this either, they just try to tap into the girlish fantasy scenarios by making you romance a bit before you get the obligatory sex scene. They are both dumb and fairly unimportant to the gameplay or story.

    Uh, he is free to file the suit. It doesn't mean he is going to win anything. It certainly doesn't say anything about the Norwegian legal system, as prisoners can do this in most modern countries.

    Drive it like you stole it.

    There would need to be an SJW on this forum for such a thing to happen. Instead we just have an overabundance of slightly obnoxious GGers. ;-)

    Yeah, I'm sure they sit around and say "Our game is super buggy, but who cares, people will buy it" and then cackle maniacally. Have you been here in the past few years? The games industry says hi. The past few years? I'm pretty sure you mean decades. Do any of you remember getting games to run in DOS?

    Yeah, I'm sure they sit around and say "Our game is super buggy, but who cares, people will buy it" and then cackle maniacally. The fact is the game was playtested a ton, and probably ran smoothly for a high percentage of buyers. It is difficult to release a game without some bugs, in fact it is probably impossible to do so on a PC. But you are right, if it did not run well for you, then you should not buy it. That doesn't mean everyone had your experience, or that it is a bad idea to buy it at release.
