Was there any confirmation of mental illness? Failing a suicide bombing does not automatically amount to crazy. How so? He might not have been a certified crazy person, but suicide bombing should be enough to tip the scale to the loony bin side.

I have no idea what Volourn is talking about.

Yes. They just don't have the room for cells for everyone. They have converted gyms and other large spaces into dorms. As was mentioned earlier, the entire system needs an overhaul, the death penalty is a super small problem overall, in terms of how many prisoners are put to death each year. Not that I'm making light of it, I just think that any proper overhaul will naturally render the death penalty obsolete.

A depressing end game from Bioware? Never. If I put 100 hours into a game series, I expect a happy ending. I'd really be ticked off by anything else.

People on life imprisonment spend their life on prison. More time, still best that they are confined. I'm not really sure where you are going with this. What do you mean by confined anyways? Stuck in a cell with little interaction with other inmates. Do you understand how difficult it is to do that in today's prison system?

I'd like to thank the members of the Academy for this award, my mother, and everyone on the internet who has ever offered up a wrong opinon - you know who you are. That made me smile

She really is average at best. I'm not sure most people really believe she's a good voice actress, they're just being fanboys. Yes, anyone who disagrees with you must be a fanboy. I forgot a *mostly. And by fanboys I mean the Bioware boards and you KNOW what I mean when I say there are plenty of fanboys there. Also do I really have to add "IMO" every time I say something like this? Of course it's an opinion if I say she's average at best. I don't really know what you mean, but I never go on the Bioware forums, so there you go. Fanboy is a term I see abused a little too much.

This game is also two years away. So I guess it is a regular sandbox RPG? I know there was talk about an MMO, it's nice to hear they aren't going there...yet.

I'm actually giving Oblivion another go. I still am having trouble getting into the main storyline, but I've detoured to the Shivering Isles and it is quite good. Hopefully Skyrim will be more Shivering Isles and less closing Oblivion gates

People spend years on Death Row, it isn't a fast system.

I totally hope I can hook up with Ashley again. It was a pain to romance her in the first game, and then I had to brush off the girl from Chuck to keep Ashley's photo on my desk. She better be worth it.

When did this thread turn into an episode of HBO's Oz?

Ah, that's right, the DLC. Although I would imagine they are getting ready for their next project, I'm not sure if DLC requires a full team.

Even if WoT is considered a project for Obsidian, and I have my doubts about that, they have said they are a three-project company, which means they still should be working on something new. Although I suppose they might still have a team working on NV content. They reason I doubt the WoT gig is the company they were supposed to be consulting is apparently having all sorts of trouble.

I don't see how Diablo 3 looks anything like WoW. It really isn't anywhere near the same art style.

Geez, I didn't even know there was an MDK2. I never played it, didn't seem like my cup o' tea.

I would say MDK is a good guess, that would fit the hardcore moniker right.

Seconded. I also wouldn't put Thai in the same sentence as Chinese. They are very different. At least in America, for the most part Chinese food is fairly unhealthy. Not fast food unhealthy, but it tends to be high in sodium and all that jazz.

Picked up Gran Turismo 5 - Very fancy so far. Boy, there are a lot of cars.

I agree the US justice system needs reform, and I imagine that will naturally lead to getting rid of the death penalty. Isn't it already abolished in about 15 states? The odd thing is there are very few executions, particularly given the amount of prisoners in the penal system and even the amount convicted of murder. It is an extremely small percentage. So why do it? Is it really effective? Sure, a part of me says it is justice, eye for an eye type stuff. A part of me also enjoys reading Punisher comic books too, but that doesn't mean I really want a bunch of vigilantes running around killing hoodlums.

Ugh, fast food makes me feel like total crap. I don't need a PhD in biochemistry to know that. As for metabolism, I think we are getting into another old vs. young argument territory. I know how my own metabolism works, and it has changed quite a bit in the last few years. edit: Time to head to the gym and work on that burger from last night :D

I don't make burgers every night It's probably more genetic than anything else, my mom is very healthy and she has to take medication for it.

Weird, I did play Risen after Two Worlds, so in retrospect that might have made me more tolerant of the voice work. Two Worlds was just horrific, Risen seemed serviceable to me.
