You know, that one should really be in spoiler tags with a health warning. If Americans click on it, they'll have cardiac arrests, seizures, whatever

I'll give that a try, thanks Don't do it man. Once you hack, you can't go back. You don't know hack, Jag. I live by the credo "real men don't take backups"

I'll give that a try, thanks

But it is such a nice thread

Interesting reading >_ Mind you, I don't get all the names and references, but the gist of it is clear. You guys need more taxes to survive 30 years of malpractise. Add 3 percent sales tax and a tax on the Wall Street "Casino" transactions.

I thought streamlining the experience was all the rage these days. Finished my second playthrough. Tried to start a third game, but pure mage (adept?) option just didn't cut it. Not sure if I can stand sitting through all the uninterruptable cutscenes and intros again to properly start a third game.

Yay! A date and a trailer... and a nice trailer too. Setting the mood without giving away too many details >_

*Poof*... last few posts pruned. If we can't have peace, how about a truce?

Wouldn't it be nice? Unfortunately, THQ seems to be busy working on a WH40K MMO, which means WH40K CRPGS are very unlikely anytime soon

Moved a few posts to the Computer and Console section with the same thread name. This is for Pen and Paper stuff. Yes, stuff featuring real, live people talking to each other

Not only him How about laying off the finger pointing for a while guys? Or at least take lessons from Gromnir and produce the darn link to the posts and leave the conclusions to the reader? Saves me some work. Less work = more time for fun stuff. Simple Gorthlogic ®

It hasn't happened for companions (or they get magically unstuck somehow), but it does happen every now and then that a reload is needed. Nothing like a walk in the air over the canyon at the Normandy crash site... or when fighting one of the grind battles where save isn't allowed, killing the last baddie, just to discover that Shepard has gone where no man has gone beofre. On top of a crate with no way down. He killed a reaper apparantly, but a drop of a meter and a half is too dangerous for him. The crates are generally a disappointment. A few of them are the good kind that goes boom, but most of them are weaklings. No hitpoints and no Loot ® >_ Apart from the environments being too obviously set up for trench warfare, the levels are generally nicely done. Wouldn't mind an entire game in an Omega/Space Hulk type of environment

That was pretty cool. Aha!... >_ I did wonder why there suddenly were more choices. I missed that connection.

Hanar, thats the guys who look like jelly fish and all tentacles? (just checking if I got the joke from game salesperson).

I think they put her in the picture on your desk and left it at that. No skeletons (real or allegorical) in the closet. This. They created an entire deck (which they force the player to visit) around the "feature" that you can only swap armor pieces or even take your helmet off using a terminal. Take that, unobtrusive design! The fish were a nice touch. They should have given the Mess Sergeant a renegade dialogue option of serving sushi for the crew though.

Who needs bulkheads anyway. Yeoman Chambers makes up for a lot of missing bulkheads when it comes to ship designs. Bioware could easily sell that ship to me Edit: Added a missing "missing"

The only "noticeable" bug I've run across is when it kills my PC and I need to do a hard reset. Happens after a few hours play. Is there any purpose to the trash compactor in the cargo room other than the hilarity of compating trash and watch the little cubes being ejected into space?

I tried really hard, but I couldn't see any point in this thread other than ruffle a few feathers here and there...

That is because you live in a country founded by tax evaders. The IRS will always be a symbolic representation of the evil British colonial rule ...or maybe not. My only encounters with US officials has been the customs agents in Los Angeles (LAX). Sheesh, those guys are genetically engineered to remove they capabilities for smiling. Preferable to the alleged gleeful mockery from the IRS I suppose.

It was really short. In fact it was that short Black Isle made a free downloadable expansion for it, to make it at least a bit longer. Other than that, it was an okay expansion. I always wondered about that bit, but then I didn't really hang out on forums at the time, I probably missed out on a lot of interesting rage

My tax returns are usually sorted out online

(Hsss...) The ISS will be completed on schedule (Hsss...)

Yeah, I love a good conspiracy theory

Lets see, bribery, corruption, total media control making a mockery of "free press", sex scandals, keep trying to pass laws giving him and his cronies immunity from the law, GDP down by 5%, the Cosa Nostra claiming that he has them to thank for his success... Yeah, what a guy. I think I'll just prefer to stand up for myself, thank you

It's an urban legend. Vegemite has no redeeming features. Axle grease without the lubricating effect is what it is
