I thought it was pretty cool. I sure as hell didn't expect that.

This comment and the others regarding sex and cop killing make me guess you are not familiar with the setting. You see, the WoD isn't a merry place. New vampires are only created with the purpose of being pawns in the power plays of the elders... that's how the setting works. The Camarilla is the losing side in the fight for power in LA, so it makes perfect sense that siding with them gets you blown to pieces by some "hippie a$$hole" (who incidentally is implied to be one of the oldest vampires around, even more than Lacroix). I say kudos to Troika for having the balls to write unconventional endings that mesh so well with the general theme and feel of the setting. But hey, I guess I'm just grumpy seeing how they went out of business. Obviously people like their games trite and well cliched, with endings so terribly predictable that you can guess how it's going to end from chapter one. And I'm not being sarcastic here. As for the sex, meh. It's just an option. Very little room for love and typical romancing in this setting, though. Getting VV to become obsessed with you would be the closest you can get, I'd say. The cop killing thing, I can agree with. While humans are often regarded as little more than cattle, you should be given the choice not to kill anyone. After all, not every vampire is a psycho killer. To me, the ever increasing focus on combat of the game as the story progresses is one of its biggest flaws.

The X-COMs using the S^2/S^3/H&S engine... goodness. Mus? wins the thread.

Outwars - with coop support. The game was easy enough to tweak so you could play the solo missions with friends, and it was a blast. The concept could produce an awesome game with today's tech.

Ah, of course. Say, did I tell you about that time the dog ate my homework?

You bought both KotORs. Lol you

Looks nice enough. I'd have waited to post the pic until the skin had healed, though. I guess it might. You know how rabid some folks can be when discussing religion...

The problem with this is that "interesting good games" is a subjective notion. And given the sales volume of EA, it would seem that a lot of people would disagree with your idea of what makes an "interesting good game".

And that's incompatible with making games how exactly? Say it ain't so!

IWD 1&2 BG2 - coop! NWN - Darkness over Daggerford Yes, I live in the past.

Got the IWD package, and it works like a charm. Sucks that they didn't bother to put everything in one DVD, though. The lack of a paper manual isn't too nice either. But for

Yes. Toggleable hoods and fancy Jedi robes are a must.

Happy birthday mate, and keep it up.

Nope. Marriage is an institution created by the Church (be it this or that), and it's defined as the union between man and woman. Anything else simply is not marriage, and forcing same sex marriages on the Church is overstepping the State's bounds. Civil same-sex unions enjoying the same social conditions/benefits of marriage though, are just fine.

Er, how exactly is homosexuality a defect? Mind you, some homosexuals marry and have children, so don't go that way. They might not really enjoy it, but then again, I hate working. I'm obviously defective as well. But I digress. Unfortunately, you fail to recognize that "normality" is a random state defined culturally as much as biologically, if not more. Also, trying to debate "normality" avoiding the connotations the term has is a difficult and somewhat pointless exercise, and I suspect it's also an attempt at appearing neutral when one really isn't. The connotations are there, precisely because of what "normality" implies, and how it's defined. In this case, homosexuality seems to be a trait prevalent in a percentage of mankind, which makes me wonder if it's comparable to, say, having red hair. Your reasoning considering one abnormal and the other not is a fine example of fallacious randomness, and it would be amusing were you not trying to pass it as some sort of obvious pseudo-scientific fact. Yeah, yeah. Opinions are opinions and all that jazz, but using pseudo-science to put down a lot of people as inferior (yes, inferior as being genetically sub-par) is not very nice. EDIT: Mets beat me to it.

Might be the lack of sleep, but it took me a while to realize that that was written with a humorous intent...

I didn't say it was "truly" genetic. I don't believe that. I was just addressing Pidesco's point that as a useless trait for the species (from a reproductive standpoint) it would be weeded out in time. At any rate, it's probably not in the same level as Mendelian genetics, but I don't know enough about it to answer the question with a "yes" or "no". I don't think anyone can, for that matter.

What, you mean you don't?

Ironically, this assertion has the same validity as the stuff on that page - zero. Please, prove that homosexuality *isn't* a condition. I'm not saying it is, by the way. Not really. There are many medical conditions that are caused by an inactive gene becoming active for some reason, for example. And some of those conditions are much more lethal than homosexuality (harlequin ichtyosis comes to mind). Also, and given the biochemical mechanism by which the parents' DNA is combined (the same mechanism by which brothers aren't identical), it could be some kind of error during the first stages of DNA replication.

No, procrastination can't be cured. Deal with it.

That would probably make for some excellent trolling material. Oh well. From what I know, there are some studies that point that sexual orientation is defined before birth due to hormonal changes (God forbid using the words imbalance or alteration) during pregnancy. If that is the case, chances are that page is just another scam. There are scientists that claim that homosexuality can be "cured" (reversed? removed? <insert PC word of choice>?), however. It's just not mainstream opinion within the scientific and medical communities. Whether that's because of the dubious quality of those theories or because of their implications, is up for debate.

Cool designs. I've thought of getting some myself, but that'll have to wait until I'm no longer a parasitic bum. I'm kinda surprised you couldn't find the characters in some translator or other. I remember seeing tattoo pages that showed loads of Chinese and Japanese characters, maybe try something like that? And one of the reasons to get a tattoo that 99% of the people won't get is because it makes for good conversation topics. So there. Bad analogy. You must be out of shape, Grom. Too obvious an attempt to get the upper hand in a losing Internets Battle. Nah, you're just patronizing. Lol "moral responsibility"

I won't be getting in the gloomwagon for this one. It looks nice enough from the trailers, but at this point it's probably still too early to say. And what Generals lacked was personality. It was a much better RTS than the previous C&Cs, but it was bland and generic...

You can't stop it, suckers. <insert sardonic laugher>
