Well you could make an argument that the script would tell you if the person is physically attractive or not and ultimately the writer isn't the casting agent, so being overly descriptive of physical attributes is pointless.

I dunno, they have a brand, so I could see them sticking with BG but starting with a new cycle (either as BGIII or BG:Subtitle Part 1)

Good luck to him and Beamdog on whatever he's going to be doing!

Sometimes no matter how you try, it refuses to remain budless

Makes me wonder if Beamdog's plan post Seige is the BGIII they wanted to do before (but with added old-BG team members)?

I know it's election year... but 51% + 59%? Someone is inflating the voter numbers somewhere. Or multi ethnic people counts for both His state numbers include the city (so not really "the rest of Georgia" but "all of Georgia"). :D Per 2010 census: Atlanta city demo (pop ~420,000) is 51.4% black/African-American, 41.3% white, 3.7 Asian, 4.7 Hispanic/Latino State (including Atlanta; pop ~9,900,000) is 59.7% white, 30.5% black/African-American, 3.3% Asian, .3% Native, .1% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, 4% Other

I promise to try really really hard at caring. GT failed to impress when they tried being anything other than a collection of trailers. I really didn't know they were anything other than a collection of game trailers until reading about them. I mostly mentioned it because I recall about 2-3 years ago several users linked game trailers from them.

So apparently GameTrailers is being shut down. Recall the site being linked a few times here by members. https://twitter.com/GameTrailers/status/696858020215586816

Maybe settled blood? Gills have a lot of capillaries attached to them, so that'd seem a possibility.

Yeah, when EA was beating banks during the foreclosure crisis, I stopped paying attention to that competition. As I recall the format for the "competition" is designed to skew any usefulness the thing has.

I liked this (emphasis mine):

I have been using Excel for about 12 years, its much more powerful than people may initially think I have seen people manipulate the macro functionality so it serves as a database Ugh, Excel is less than ideal as a database (IMO). Use Access if you're using office products. When it was important to do such thing, its relatively easy to keep your data in ACCESS and export it to excel for periodic analysis. Conditional counts FTW.

Reminds me of the guy who complains when the comic shop makes him order 125 comics (~$500) so he can get that rare 1-125 variant cover because "he had to have it to sale on ebay" instead of buying 1 comic with the regular cover and reading the comic. Its like some sort of weird one-ups-manship (WHY YES!!!!!! I GOT EVERYTHING THAT WAS EVER RELEASED, SEE HOW AWESOME MY PURCHASING POWER IS???????) where the only person completing is the person who thinks he's got to go Pokemon on everything. The only one of the pre-order options that seemed important was Tier III which gave you no choice anyhow. Given that I can't imagine that they wouldn't release all of the Bonuses as an extra purchase anyhow for those who felt they had to have it all, I'm with Hurl I really didn't understand what the big deal was; really buying a game 3 times so you can have 3 different leathery all-black costumes for the protagonist to wear - would anyone have actually considered that?

Does seem to be a bit contradictory in statements there.

Oh that's a load of bull. It is impossible to classify the politics of an entire state you have never visited by the reputation you think it has because of what you've read on the internet. Yes obviously GD But I want valid opinions about the states, anecdotal if possible. I can research a lot, I have relatives in the USA and I watch international media but your stories are important ...I share them with people on the radio and other mediums so people don't generalize about the USA Be specific - its not really state but city region you're looking at. Metro Atlanta isn't like Savannah, which isn't like Macon or Augusta or Albany. Also it might be helpful to know what metrics you might like. Cost of Living? Crime? Traffic? Happiness Index?

Be interesting to know how it pans out.

I like the idea but they're asking a lot if they expect you to discern the feelings of those bulging eyed mannequins Remember this is Poirot! "Always I am right. It is so invariable it startles me. And now it looks very much as though I may be wrong, and that upsets me. But I should not be upset, because I am right. I must be right because I am never wrong."

Is the murderer supposed to be different from in the book? Just wondering if the game would be anti-climactic to one who has read the novel to then play the game.

I see a problem with that but not a new one. Say it's just a random doodle that anyone could do in parallel with no intent to imitate, I'm thinking of Tyson's face tatoo, So I guess they would be like company logos, a twist or two in some of the letters and you have something trademarkable. I mean the Nike logo is just a doodle thicker in the middle, apparenly that's all it takes. Maybe this is why so many people have a random assortment of enspiring quotes written on them like the movie momento. I mean If they were that profound surely you would be able to remember. That Mike Tyson tattoo was the subject of a lawsuit with respect to THE HANGOVER PART II http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/warner-bros-settles-hangover-ii-203377

I loved the third episode of X-Files. It was a great X-Files episodes - no qualifiers. Had some great callbacks too (like Scully's joking she's immortal which is a callback to the Peter Boyle episode where when she asks how she dies he says she doesn't). And of course the visual nod to Kolchak, the Night Stalker.

Unless, of course, God actually told you to do it.

They are free labour around the house, there is that. Pretty sure you have to pay in time investment to tell them to do something the required 100 times before they actually do it.

Generally there is a distinction in my mind within the nature of probability with the use of should and must. Should denotes what obligation exists and should be maintained. Must implies an obligation that cannot be avoided under normal circumstances and most extraordinary ones. Saying an employee "should" greet a customer with a smile is a vastly different conception to saying that the employee "must" greet a customer with a smile. While practice may end up with either having variable probabilities of existence, as above, I personally rate "must" as 'stronger' than "should" when discussing statements of probability, and therefore presented what I understood to be Gfted's distinction. Gfted expects to theoretically pay in his imaginary scenario because he does not expect an unlawful response to an unlawful action to have less than a lawful response. Even if he feels the unlawful response to the unlawful action was justified or reasonable given the context, he does not think that the lawful response needs to contextualize his unlawful reaction to mitigate whether he has culpability under the law. He accepts it does and that lawful action is warranted. I'd imagine he'd hope that context to determine what the lawful determination of response (punishment) would be, but context doesn't make his actions lawful. Or to put it another way, he accepts if "he does the crime, he'll do the time". Because this is about as close to a semantics argument as I want to get.

>"life is not fair" >wrongdoers must pay because IT IS FAIR DOES NOT COMPUTE I would understand if you said you intend to get away with murder, because life isn't fair, and all that matters is what you can get away with. At least that would be internally consistent. But fairly punishing wrongdoers based on the premise that life is unavoidably unfair and therefore it constitutes no defense makes zero sense, sorry. Probably going to regret stepping into this, but... Gfted1 says "wrongdoers should pay" not "must pay". Since he seems to acknowledge that some wrongdoers will not pay (should instead of must), his contention that "life is unfair" follows based on the presentation that Gfted1 expects wrongdoers to be punished. To tie this back to what he said, knowing right from wrong, he would still opt to do wrong in some situations (something he finds rational) to ensure that a wrongdoer does pay rather than allowing a chance that a wrongdoer who did wrong to his child does not pay (life isn't fair) even acknowledging that he would accept punishment (assuming he doesn't get away with it - "life isn't fair") because he expects wrongdoers, even himself, to pay. I really don't see where this argument has arisen.
