  1. As many times as I've said it before, I'd think I wouldn't have to say it again. So I'll just quote the forum rules -
  2. Why do the shots at 1:11 and 1:32 look they are literally just Katie Sackhoff's Starbuck straight out of Battlestar Galactica? That doesn't even look like Brie Larson to me. Because that is a fake trailer video from Smasher.
  3. I'm pretty sure he said (joked?) that one of the conditions of his return was that the accent wasn't returning.
  4. I'd think - if any of the companies involved was pushing for an on-sale physical edition - it'd be THQ Nordic. Weren't they the company handling the physical releases? Maybe they needed something more to distribute than just to the FIG backers to be interested? As an aside, the stated reason during the campaign for dropping the physical discs was the difficulty for Obsidian to keep the disc version patched. So if the set on sale at Amazon really has the game on discs (i notice the picture seems to be a promotional image) - how is it getting patched? From THQ Nordic? Versus Evil? Or is it the steam installer disc talked about early on and doesn't really have the physical game on it?
  5. New thread ahoy...https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/105758-cin%C3%A9ma-v%C3%A9rit%C3%A9-and-all-other-types/
  6. The new Movies thread. Disney's released an official Mary Poppins Returns trailer: For my part I watched THE MAZE (1953) which was a pretty fun 50s horror film (with a bit of a push, could have been a Lovecraftian tale)
  7. I guess it would have been nice if he'd addressed his team-mates. But IMO pulling himself out was better than staying and bringing the team down, or getting himself/teamates hurt, for not really having his heart/head in the game. The shot on Cam Newton was unnecessary and disappointing. I know ATL hates Carolina and Cam, but there's no need for that kind of stuff.
  8. Florida used to sound like an amazing place until I saw these three pictures. They can climb fences, crawl out of sewage drains and ring doorbells. How is anyone still alive out there and why aren't there more horror movies about alligators? They're basically that creature from Alien They couldn't top 1980's Alligator so they just stopped trying.
  9. As I recall, Gina Torres character, Jasmine, used Cordelia as a vessel to incarnate herself, so wasn't literally the child of Cordelia and Conner (but I could be mis-remembering, I haven't watched an episode of Angel since it aired).
  10. Just want to say that again, so far, I hate the local political ads. Nothing terribly new from past years, I guess, but a couple of egregiously bad, logic defying ads running that make my head swim.
  11. Excactly. Someone called me an idiot in laugh. Doesn't matter if you'd laugh, or even if the target doesn't care. Not everyone would laugh, so the rule of thumb is to treat others with respect. Which wouldn't be calling one another idiot.
  12. I wasn't advocating for either, just thinking that treason wouldn't be the right charge. Thanks, I seemed to remember that sedition was scaled back, but couldn't find online how, so when thinking about it sedition seemed a 'better' fit to the actions if one were to charge anyone for such a thing than treason.
  13. Regarding the anonymous Op-Ed, wouldn't it technically be considered (if one went that route) as sedition rather than treason? Treason in the US is - if I understand it correctly - limited to levying war against the US and/or giving comfort and aid to its enemies, so I'm pretty sure it'd be difficult to prove the Op-Ed was treasonous given that narrow definition. And if I'm correct they'd be trying to to prove it was seditious rather than treasonous, the statements would have to be proven false, scandalous and malicious with the intent to bring the President into disrepute. If I understand correctly.
  14. I'm not Amentep but I'm pretty sure that is Hazel Brooks. Yup, Hazel Brooks is correct!
  15. At the risk of quoting myself...as the thread continued to go off topic, the utility of the thread is gone, and the last posts have been removed.
  16. I wasn't referencing any user specifically. The thread, as I read it, has only referenced the review offsite. However, my concern was that the review itself could spawn directly discriminatory remarks that would then required moderator intervention. Consider it a friendly intervention to hopefully prevent a full-on thread derail.
  17. A friendly reminder that insulting other members isn't allowed. We ask that the users of this board treat one another with respect, even when opinions differ. And while a lot of the commentary is about an off-site review with questionable turns of phrase, since I'm already here I'll point out that Obsidian has a zero-tolerance policy with regard to racial, ethnic, gender, religious, disablement, and/or sexually discriminating remarks.

  19. I have deleted posts again. If you wish to start a psychoanalysis group, please do so elsewhere. Otherwise post about what members post about, not about the members. And if you think you are achieving something on the internet by starting or continuing 'grudges' by making personal attacks here you are sorely mistaken.
  20. I've cleaned this thread up. Don't keep insulting one another and expect a thread to stay open, even if you are posting about a potential bug.
  21. This reminded me that I'd read some stories not long ago about Iceland having a problem with tourists pooping wherever they're at while traveling. https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/nature_and_travel/2017/04/05/icelandic_farmer_outraged_as_tourist_poops_next_to_/ https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/nature_and_travel/2018/06/20/tourist_poops_outside_public_lavatory_in_north_icel/ http://icelandreview.com/news/2015/07/13/tourist-defecation-problem-resurfaces https://grapevine.is/news/2017/06/27/tourist-caught-pooping-10-metres-from-busy-highway/ https://grapevine.is/news/2017/06/14/locals-disgusted-tourists-excrete-on-kindergarten/ That's on top of the tourists camping in gardens, in bird watching sheds and doing crazy things like climbing out onto dangerous rocks above falls to take a selfie.
  22. I wasn't saying that everyone should have read it. And indeed the FIG campaign wording was never changed that I could tell as I mentioned (and just flipping through the updates, I don't see the clarification in one of them, but it might be there and I skimmed past it). I can't remember if Josh posted about it on one of his regular posting areas either. So I agree most backers would never know about it unless they read the thread here. Like I said it seems like they never really got the word out about it even though they clarified in a thread here, unfortunately for both backers and Obsidian both. I happened to remember the thread where Aarik D talked about it, though, and thought it worth pointing out that it wasn't a last minute change (which, in a way, makes it all the more frustrating, I'm sure, that the information didn't seem to distribute to backers widely).
