    The Catholic Church (and really, any organized religious group) is allowed set all sorts of criteria on membership and services offered. Women aren't allowed to be priests, after all. When my wife and I renewed our vows in a Catholic Church, we had to attend classes and I had to prove I was baptized as a child at a recognized denominational church. But a commercial business does not get to discriminate based on race, religion, gender, etc. It's not complicated.

    I just couldn't imagine living in Indiana and watching the governor drive tons of major companies away. This is economic suicide. I don't see how the people of the state aren't freaking out right now. We recalled Gray Davis in California over less than this.

    Hah, don't trust a software developer to deliver on physical goods. I'm just happy both the t-shirt and the mousepad are well made.

    I'm starting to explore the crafting in PoE and I like it. Not overly complicated, but you can create some pretty sweet gear. I like the fact you can take an interesting weapon that is unique and buff it to still be good for the later levels.

    I was super excited to find my PoE collector's edition on the doorstep today. The mouse and T-Shirt are good quality, I'm leaving the box sealed up and up high.

    Or it will just stay the same, which is what it has done since about the 60's.

    I had to look that one up. I'm pretty sure the Vagina Monologues will survive a small women's college cancelling the performance. This is absurd, for sure, but it is hardly indicative of college campuses across the country.

    Wizards are awesome. I love how I get a grimoire every time I kill another wizard, and I can then copy any of the spells down for my own. But yeah, my wizard is pretty decent with a rapier in a pinch.

    I have all my characters with ranged weapons, they unload a volley, and then the tanks switch to melee and jump forward. It seems like a good strategy, I usually get one kill right off the bat that way. Wands/scepters seem pretty weak, but my wizard and priest that have them usually are busy casting spells if the fight is intense.

    That really just seems like stooping to the same level. Also isn't the Gamergate movement trying to clean up gaming journalism? Doesn't that mean you will be ruining people's livelihood?

    Hah, Val can take a little heat from the mods.

    Who the heck is even reading these memorials? I stopped after the first few. Now I just look for people I recognize. So far Deraldin is the only one I caught.

    That's pretty much my argument. The guy kills himself, he's hardly the hero. It's a bit of dark comedy that really is more of a commentary on the misguided notion that your conquests in the bedroom define you.

    Quite a few of the gravestones are just bad, so I don't really think it is a big deal if Obsidian decides to change them, however the little story is hardly an example of trans misogyny (that word is ridiculous, and it hurt me to type it.) It's more of a sad tale of a philanderer whose lack of self confidence led him on misguided conquests, and ended in a tragic suicide. But really, it's best not to read too much into the silly gravemarkers.

    My wife went wine tasting today, so now my goal is to keep her in the cups long enough for a bit of hanky panky, but not to the point she just passes out. Also I need to get the kids to bed without tipping my hand. It's a tough task, but I will prevail.

    I don't think you have much of a green party base here anymore, especially since the always vocal Krezack is gone. I know I put up some Ralph Nader stuff in a thread recently, but I would hardly call myself a Green Party guy.

    We could try and stage a true grassroots movement where we all push for a 3rd party candidate, but that would require: 1. Everyone agreeing one one person to back 2. Convincing enough people to abandon the party lines. edit: In essence, we need someone who has widespread popularity and is able to bridge differences.

    Bwahahahaha! Found him. Bravo Josh. *Wolfish grin* I haven't yet. Don't spoil it!

    It could just be I'm getting more curmudgeonly in my old age.

    It does seem weird that they keep letting him create threads with terribly insulting premises. Honestly the amount of anti-american, anti-police, anti-women stuff is way more prevalant than in the past, even if it is disguised by passive aggressiveness. I just try and tune out certain posters, but I consider this forum less comfortable than in the past. I guess things change. I still enjoy talking games here.

    I am not sure which one Wals is referring to, to be honest. We seem to have an abundance at this time.

    I really hope they continue to develop games in this world. I'm not very far in, but I'd say the lore gives Forgotten Realms a run for their money. It is fantastic, and I'm reading everything closely.

    PoE is sublime. I started over 4 different times already. I think I've settled on a human priest, who is a former clergyman. He is on the road after his parish was wiped out in an attack.

    Finished up DA:I just in time for PoE to take over. I clocked in at 42 hours, which is pretty healthy. Solas is definitely my favorite character, followed by Cole and Blackwall. Iron Bull and Sera were pretty good for the occasional comic relief.
