And the umpire takes away a point! (Low blow from the Player!) Naughty move, there, discouraging all attempts to resist box-moving and dumbing-down by ridiculing the game, rather than applauding the design. Restart!

Still makes Deus Ex the Best0xz0rs Game EVAR!!11!!!1!!!

So it was really a secret Pentagon initiative? (No wonder there were chairs costing $128,000 ... this is where all that grey budget went ...)

One of my old professors was of the (laudable) opionion that programmers should be given the worst pcs in the company, so that they made their code as efficient as they could. Only problem is Micro$oft has monopolised seemingly the entire sotware industry, including developer tools, so that their inefficient procedures demand super resources to do any development. I remember the brouhaha when Apple brought out an OS that was bigger than a 360kB floppy disk! How dare they, just for those silly little icons to load up and smile at you.

Sounds like a bun fight. (No wonder it was buggy.)

Metadigital is of the considered opinion that Ender is actually possessed of very unsound mental faculties.

He was looking to see if it was the one that left him scarred ... (Personally, I don't go near anything until version 3.1)

:D Thanks. :cool:

So why did you post it in my lovely Civ4 thread? Edit: "instigation style tactics" is quite a quixotic notion, if left unexplained. But, as I was there at the time, I have interpolated to extract my observations, above.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> GOLD

Did you manage to complete your mission in the ten second timeslot available? For the same reason that you can see animals mating prior to the watershed and humans mating only after it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah! Society wants more dogs and cats, and people who mate with dogs and cats, so there is no restriction on that sort of viewing.

Defence pleads special dispensation, M'lud. A wife is a special case, and does not consitute a legitimate example for the "every person" case, as stated by the prosecutor. Most people's jubblies are like most people, and therefore not worthy of a perve, unless the perver is a repressed coitus-starved teenager, in which case the pixelated colours on the HiRes washing machine read out are almost as useful for auto-eroticism.

Well, I would like to see more secret services in Civ4. The ability to control the population through the media, build an illuminati ... but what about you and your ex post facto post editing?

I find the more we try to restrict sex, the more fascinated we are by it. I'm sure if we were all nekkid all the time, no one would care about catching a peek of anyone's jubblies, since it'd be so meh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most people's jubblies aren't worth a first look.

Yeah! We need a more Nordic / Norse / Wiccan concept of brutal beatial rape, killing and bathing in the sacrificial blood (and then eating it).

I'm not sure if you are proposing a tactic for Civ that you would like to see, or have used in the past. Please explain.

Terrible, apparently.

We we talking about the dumbing down trend due to the multiple market-segment targeting of the suits: if a game sells well on the PC, let's cost expenses and dual develop it for the console as well, and have one-and-one-more times as much money! This is true, I did enjoy the body throwing, a feature that was not surpassed until the penultimate level in [Half-Life 2[/i]. :D

Wouldn't that be contra-indicated for dental hygiene? I mean, surely the plaque-forming bacteria in between your teeth would be able to nourish themselves on the vetiges of entrail left therein? Now you're forgetting the magic circle. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, yes! The magic circle: the stress ball of the tehcnology age!

Guys, you seem to be missing the point; it's not whether you like / want to play Tekken (I certainly don't), it's the attitude of Mr Harada, to wit: *applause*

Hats. People aren't wearing enough hats.

With or without the "hot coffee" minigame? It would only be a problem if the minigame allowed you to strangle and disembowel the girl, whilst raping her eyesockets. I think that should be at least a 13+.

I don't think you could say the Civ series is dumbed down, either.

Well, that is just another name for "passive aggression". In other words, Darque is accusing you of deliberate provocation through passive means (i.e. not an outright attack, but a threatening encroachment).

... I thought that was the Welsh? incidentally, genetic extrapolations have determined that the Welsh is the sole remaining strain of the Anglo Saxon race. (At least sheepshagging means that the sheep will be looked after, and de-dagged.)
