  1. You are nitpicking. She has produced a ton of content and her backers are not complaining. I've seen a number of kickstarters raise more money and produce less. I'm still waiting on my games from the Space Quest and Quest for Glory people. Why aren't you railing about Lori and Corey Cole being con artists? They just started a second kickstarter without even finishing the first game, you'd have a much better argument there. And holy moly, that 75 minutes of video was only covering one topic? Yikes. I am glad I don't watch this rubbish.
  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6p5AZp7r_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toa_vH6xGqs You can go on her website for a ton of more content. Honestly I haven't watched them and don't really care about her viewpoint, but I think it's weird that you call her a con artist. If you are an actual backer who is unhappy with what she delivered, then you might have some ground to stand on. As is, you look like you are grasping for straws instead of criticizing her work, as Calax is doing.
  3. I know a few of us here complain about the Patriot Act regularly, so it won't hurt to sign this if you are able. http://act.credoaction.com/sign/usa_freedom_2015?sp_ref=121003431.4.13550.o.1.2&referring_akid=.5380033.gXUp4K&source=clickcopy_sp
  4. My car is killing me. I took it in a few weeks ago for some suspension issue. It was covered under warranty, but I still have a $100 deductible. Then today a sensor went out. Again, the warranty covers it, but again, it's another $100. I've had to take this thing in every other month it seems, always for some little issue. It's a ford fusion hybrid, and it has 116,000 miles.
  5. Oddly enough, this is exactly what is already happening. Some schools have even gone so far as to offer food programs during the summers and other breaks. Nutrition isn't a new part of school curriculum, either. It is a standard part of the educational process from an early age to High School. It doesn't mean kids listen. edit: I should rephrase that. Young kids listen, but it is not reinforced at home, and eventually they tune it out.
  6. That is false, there are a bunch of her videos up on youtube. She is also clearly committed to the premise of her campaign, rather than sitting on a beach sipping margaritas (which is what I would do if I was a con man.) Just like the game Hatred, she has a freedom of expression and if she can get people to pay her for that, then bully for her.
  7. I think it is a stupid game, I'm not really sure what kind of development team would want to commit years of their life to such a project, but they have every right to create it.
  8. Yeah, I dont understand how they managed to suck out all the magic just by switching to yahoo. It is weird.
  9. Since I am susceptible to reverse psychology, I am now reading to my children more regularly before bedtime. Thanks a lot, Obsidianites.
  10. Pretty crazy punishment. This is the same as a pitcher throwing spitballs. It deserves maybe a one game suspension.
  11. I am sure they would jump at the chance. I doubt Armored Warfare and Skyforge are their ideal projects. New Vegas 2 would be in their wheelhouse and they seem to have a good relationship with Bethesda.
  12. Does that include preseason?
  13. So your problem is, essentially, that power corrupts, and the bigger the power, the bigger the risk of corruption - hence governments need to be limited in power, because that will prevent those who want to bend the world to their will from accruing the means to do so. Am I reading you correctly? I'd agree with that.
  14. We should really just use cyborgs in the future.
  15. I have no idea, but it can hardly be accused of kowtowing to the demands of that community.
  16. This whole argument would carry a lot more weight if it wasn't just one company that provided all the evidence. It is clear that Bioware has an agenda, and they are free to push it. As a business, all they need to do is continue to be profitable, as long as they do that they can cater to whoever they want. It's hard to make the argument that the industry is being taken over by feminists and LGBT groups when you have CoD and The Witcher still around.
  17. You could really save yourself a lot of trouble by simply not playing Bioware games.
  18. Usually I think you are coming from Tennessee, but on occasion you sound a bit more like Florida.
  19. Getting back into Blackguards, it really can be a lot of fun. I might need to pick up the sequel soon.
  20. I grew up on Lloyd Alexander, yo! I've made a Taran in every RPG I've played since then.
  21. I made it as far as the scene where the kid gets his arm ripped off by a clown in a sewer. I don't think there is any age where IT is not disturbing.
  22. I can't think of many good children's stories where someone doesn't die. It's like a prerequisite. Old Yeller still makes me tear up.
  23. You haven't started hating your customers yet? You will! I had a teacher at a school I designed and installed a Wi-Fi-wiMAX system for two years ago approach me and ask why they could not connect their phone to the school network. She handed me the phone and it was a Nokia 6630. I told her that phone is twelve years old. 802.11 wi-fi was a very new thing then and most phones didn't have it. Her reply, delivered in a huff I might add, was that why could all of her colleagues connect their phones then? Thank God she was a music teacher, had she been a math, science, or economics teacher I'd have been worried. Elective teachers are a different breed.
