Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Third time'll the charm for you, keep at it. Despite all the wonderful posts you guys have put up about this stuff, I still have no desire to delve into the buttcrack of the internet and get involved in your movement.

You know, these types of threads started by strangers used to just die a quiet death here.

It's ok if you don't understand anything KP just wrote, Luj1.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
You really aren't. They are people on the fringe of the gaming industry with very little influence who are arguing with other people on the fringe.

The resting in the stronghold is terrible design
I imagine it more complicated than you are making it out to be. It would be nice, but it is probably a limitation that they simply didn't have time to address rather than a design choice.

Suggestion for next game - Supernatural themed RPG or MMO.
Na. The comedy RPG has been done, and done well a couple of times. The original Ghostbuster movie is awesome, but the franchise has been beat to death. Even it wasn't beat to death the Ghostbuster universe is not a good place for a well told spooky supernatural RPG. There has yet to be a well done spooky/horror/supernatural RPG. What? The franchise had two movies and has been mostly dormant since the 80's.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Glad to hear there will be a new Deus Ex, HR was well worth my money. Bummer about the lack of plot carry over, but not exactly surprising. Bioware seems to be the only developer that really cares about that kind of stuff.

I'm pretty sure you are in the wrong thread Fighter.

Judge Hades Character
I found him as well. They wrote a great story for him.

I'm serious about Ghostbusters. It would make the best RPG.

What you did today
Vader is just a goon, Gandalf would find a way to win the fight before it even happened. Now the Emperor might be a better face off.

*cough*alanshu*cough* Considering Alan talked openly about his work for Bioware, I am guessing you don't understand what a shill is. He also left since everyone decides to get on his case about his job. Kind of sad that people make a developer feel that unwelcome, given that he is one of the few that can give actual insight on the way games are made.- WTF is wrong with Obsidian?

Most of the police departments in my area are training all the time. The amount of training hours they actually have to fulfill in a year is borderline ridiculous. That being said, I see a number of areas for improvement on what is being trained. De-escalation should be a priority.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
It was drawn by Kate Beaton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Beaton Considering her other comics, i think that it is a tungue-and-cheek joke. She's more of a based mom-feminist. Ah, context and voice can be important. That's good to know. It wasn't signed, from what I can tell, so I had no idea who it was.- What are you playing now?
Hah, you guys are all terrible parents, there was no way I was going to give that kid a knife.- What are you playing now?
Sure, and you found that emotionally engaging - what, just because they toss a kid into the harbour ? Shame I spoke to his mom before wasting the guys that killed him though, seems I couldn't tell her he was avenged that way (though assuming it can be done) There is a bit more to it than that: So enjoy your edgy apathetic attitude that you so carefully cultivate here, but in this scenario is seems rather depressing that you missed out on a strong moment of storytelling.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Whoever drew that comic has as many psychological issues as an angry feminist.- What are you playing now?
Never ends well being a white knight, I guess Ok, Mr. Apathy.- WTF is wrong with Obsidian?
- What are you playing now?
I just did a quest about a boy named Derrin in PoE. Wow. One of the more emotionally engaging moments I've had in a game, for sure.- I appreciate you, Obsidian.
I haven't had any bugs and the game is just amazing. It's my new favorite world! - Hey Oby!
