Watching this video is kind of depressing.

Opening naming suggestions to the public - particularly in a case like this - is probably an exercise in fruitless endeavors.

Where the hell are the old NWN 2 forums? (Very angry)
Amentep replied to Artas1984's topic in Obsidian General
Obs didn't have a forum for NWN2 when the game was new...why would they have one once the game got old? -
Imagine if all those 80's action movies took the sensibilities of the audience in the Soviet Union seriously. Hollywood as a whole - due to the less internationally focused business climate and the cold war - probably had little interest in the theater markets in the USSR or China.

Yeah, it really is a two way situation. If either side can't let go, can't accept the things that can't change, can't accept that sometimes compromise doesn't mean 50-50 but you don't get what you want and they do (or vice versa) then the relationship is going to derail, in my experience.

Bah. It is boring if you get on all the time. Must be my childhood but I always find people that act as if fights in a relationship are bad. Is a good stress reliever and hardens one up. Fighting /= plotting death That's a highly illogical claim to make without meeting everyone. Or at least a sensor reading. FWIW taking the topic mildly seriously...the ideal partner is going to be the one who you like enough to live with the stuff you don't like.

The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Amentep replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
Looks like "We don't care" to me. Not a Braille expert though. -
Yes, I am suggesting that. Because the problem is (as they always are) bigger than any single "magic bullet" solution can ever manage to solve. Making things illegal only affects the people who care about the legality of what they're doing. In the case of mass shootings, the fact that homicide is already illegal wasn't a deterrent; it is highly unlikely that making it also illegal to have a gun would have any significant effect. Solving the problem of mass shootings is only possible when society as a whole starts looking at the multiple factors that lead people to the point that mass death seems to be a logical choice, and working back from that trying to mitigate those factors. "Magic bullets" need not apply. I'm not convinced the only viable reason for wanting stricter gun control is that it would prevent mass shootings, though. I'm pretty sure that the line of discussion leading to my post was specific about gun control as a way to solve mass shootings, though.

Boring is worse than bad, IMO. Bad can be entertaining. Boring can't.

Alls I'm saying is that you treat people differently based on their gender. For shame BVC, for shame. The only way to right this wrong and rebalance the universe is for you to to go out this weekend and blow a wad of cash on some strippers. Sorry it had to come to this. Well gfted1 lets be honest....can you give me what a stripper can give me....if you can I'll be super nice to you, trust me I have a sales role and can be very obsequious when required D:

GD please understand the whole world who understands gun control and in many cases has worst crime than the USA thinks the USA needs more gun control.....its really strange for outsiders People on these talk shows say things like " why do the Americans need so many guns " ....I explain to them one of the reasons is " many Americans really think the day may come when the Federal government will come for them and they want to be properly protected " In most of the mass shootings we've had, either the weapons were bought legally and the person passed all existing background checks or the guns were received illegally circumventing any checks and balances in place. While some regulation might make a mass shooting less likely in the case of legal attainment, not even an out and out ban would stop people from being able to obtain illegal firearms without some massive changes in the nation and a complete loss of privacy with respect search laws.

Damn. I thought we were electing a President of the Way Off Topic Forum. Disappointing everyone, disappointing.

It was Paul Levitz's second stint on the title and he proved a master if juggling story lines. A real highlight in the series.

You mean when they terraformed Daxam to be a giant stone Darkseid head? Yeah.

You right...I wont give those up and the Conan And I have CLASSIC legion comics like the Darkseid story and when they fight the LSV and Karate Kid dies "The Great Darkness Saga" and the big return of the LSV to launch the 1984 Baxter series. Yeah a real good period for the Legion.

Its been awhile since I've seen the sequels, but my memory is they are all variations on the Mag7 plot. Yeah the Yojimbo circle is funny (the plot resembles Hammett's RED HARVEST, IIRC, but Kurowsawa said it was based on Hammett's THE GLASS KEY). A Fistful of Dollars though was an Italian film not a Hollywood one. Hollywood did adapt RED HARVEST as Roadhouse Nights (1930) and THE GLASS KEY (1935 and 1942).

LSH fans don't give up their Legion comics. LLL! EDIT: In case it wasn't obvious, I read comics. But I mean, really, it should be obvious.

Off the top of my head, the Seven Samurai story has been done 11 times (without counting the parodies (like The Magnificent 11) or the TV episodes (original Battlestar Galactaca's "The Magnificent Warriors"): Shichinin no Samurai The Magnificent Seven Return of the Seven Guns of the Magnificent Seven The Magnificent Seven Ride Liu he qian shou Battle Beyond the Stars I sette magnifici gladiatori Dikiy vostok The Magnificent Seven (TV Series) Samurai 7 (Animated Series) Does one more really matter (regardless of quality)?

I think FEF is fun but not as good as Awakening. Particularly given that the game doesn't seem "complete" if you don't do (and pay for) all three parts. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
