Playing Life® in "Iron Man" mode... Really wanting to get one of the 3 characters I rolled and started going in PoE, but can't find the time at the moment

I always thought Cromwell was Englands answer to Ayatollah Khomeini, wanting to turn England into a theocracy.

Sometimes it really is just the little things that makes the difference. That stupid looking saber killed my interest in the new movie just as effectively as Ewoks killed off my interest in the SW franchies for a few decades.

I thought you were a fan of the democratic values of the "western world"? Should free speech only be tolerated when we like what we hear is pretty much what you are saying? Who is then to judge what is OK and what is not OK to be critical of? Most "civilised" countries already have a number of exceptions encoded in law that puts a limit on free speech. Would you let mob rule decide what should allowed to be said and what not?

So, you guys better stand still and stop shaking those tectonic plates...

I liked seeing the Geth perspective too. Things became less black and white after that. But yeah, after K** L*** showed up, the game took a nosedive quality wise. Before him, I only truly hated the "dream sequences" with the stupid child. Edit: I dislike QTE's, but as much as they detracted for the game, Bioware scored some goodwill points by completely dropping minigames, making up for that

Pictures or it didn't happen ... Yes, that was a joke

Spoil me rotten... what was the "best" ending??? I thought there were only the endings. Never even touched the multiplayer button in the game As for the other games mentioned, didn't buy DA:I, got JE since about a year ago on my Steam account and never touched it other than to check that it actually booted. Kotor... I liked the game up until I got forced to change class from my beloved scoundrel character, ME1 I liked for the combat (because i played ME2 first and ME1's combat was vastly superior), ME2 I liked for the companions and the companion stories (even though I think German Public Transportation could take lessons in how to create proper linearity) and ME3 was a very mixed bag with some high highs and some low lows (still debating whether K** L*** or the ending was the main detractor). Edit: ME4... it will depend on the feedback the game gets from some of the locals (who shall remain unnamed) on these forums.

Being underground was part of the charm of Rogue and its likes. But I'm an old Nethack fan, so I'm probably biased. Being a claustrophobic dwarf would probably suck though. In a bird with vertigo kind of way But then evolution came up with the ostrich. Just rambling.

I wonder how Fox News is going to pin that one on Obama...

I thought those things were called nipples and lots of people have two of them. (just kidding, as an ex-aussie, i'm painfully aware of the dangers of melanoma)

Buy a season of House and watch it?

Only thing I lament on my current Alienware is the physical size. It fits in no normal laptop bags

Save the poor defenseless vegetables... eat more meat!

Waiting for the J.E. Sawyer version of chess where the black pawns gets more aoe damage. Of course, they could also decide that the best way to play chess would as a real time with pause game, no unfair advantages and no discrimination of board pieces just based on their colours On topic... finally got around to start a few games of Pillars of Eternity this weekend, now in that painful stage of trying to make up my mind regarding class and build before progressing too much (which means, create character, play a bit, delete, start over... repeat a lot)

Oh, i know that feeling. You can eat, walk and carry, but your mind isn't really there and you end up with that thousand yard-stare. All the senses feel slightly numb and you cannot really think of anything. Yuck. Even stranger is that feeling of being fully awake and active, even energetic and in a fraction of a second you are either walking into a door frame or your head hits your keyboard because your brain "disconnected" without any further notice, trying to force you to sleep During normal times, I get by with 5-6 hours of sleep. I should probably try to get 1 more on average, but meh, old age and all that. Crunch times gets harder and harder to recuperate from, especially when going for many weeks on 3-4 hours sleep only interrupted by all nighters (after which 4 hours of sleep feels like luxury, just closing your eyes... just for a moment... please?...) I don't eat a lot before going to sleep, but i love ending the day with a large mug of coffee before passing out.

if I'm not mistaken, Feargus once went on record saying Obsidian burned through roughly 1 million USD each month. so, 4 million would only fund 4 months of development. everything else had to come out of their own pockets. I imagine this is why they have partnered up with Paradox, they need all the extra money they can get to keep the studio opened You need to get the proper context... That is 1 million dollars a month in operating costs for the company. That's everything added together, most likely including things like the South Park and the Tanks project at the time. The Kickstarter money got earmarked for the PoE project. Paradox didn't "invest" in Obsidian, but offered their distribution channels and help fulfilling backer rewards in return for a small slice of the cake. In Paradox Boss' own words, they didn't make a lot of money from it, it just as much a prestige thing for them (and guesswork from my side, paving the way for more future cooperation). I would be surprised if there ever was more than 20 people working simultaneously on PoE making it a "miniscule" project as such things go.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I had a Dutch colleague in Australia that would sometimes speak to me in dutch when he was tired and focus started slipping. A weird and alien language indeed Speaking 3 languages and understanding most of a 4th, I do sometimes mix up sentences or use a sentence construct from one language and substitute individual words with the language of whoever I'm talking to, much to their amusement. Funny trivia, when counting, I count mentally in my native language. Being a rather visual person, I don't think i actually "think" in any of those languages, more in images, sounds, smells, concepts showing for my inner eye/senses so to speak.

This looks like a job for Inspector Clouseau! The Pink Panther strikes again

Moved to tech support forum. Part because of the nature of the issues, part of because of spoilers in the post.
