If you miss a lot do you get a perk called "shooting blanks"?

I don't disagree, necessarily with your position. But you don't have to be a radical feminist to destroy someone's reputation if that's your goal.

http://witchwind.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/piv-is-always-rape-ok/ This is what we are dealing with folks. They can not be reasoned with, have no problem destroying lives to further their agenda, and are likely in need of mental health services. While I agree that the position of the piece is fairly radical, I don't see anything in that article that indicates a desire to destroy lives and am loathe to argue mental health issues just because I don't agree with a position. I think when you start throwing around accusations like rape, you can inflict serious damage on the personal and professional lives of people. As to mental health, I just don't see such logic coming from a sane person. What she's writing about isn't an accusation of rape at least not in a legal sense and I doubt her arguments would mean much in a legal proceeding. Mind you she'd blame that on the patriarchy, I'm sure.

He'd just had his wizard cast "Grease" you see, and...

Vis-a-vis Leigh Alexander - if a person talks like a bully and acts like a bully, they're a bully. She just doesn't seem to care that she is one, but it doesn't make her any less so.

Ah well, I didn't find it on a search, but my search-fu is having some trouble.

Why couldn't Diablo 3 just call the class "Shaman"? Shaman. One word. ONE word. Witch Doctor my arse. My guess is stereotypes; there are many different types of Shamans. Witch Doctor - even though the origin applied it differently - has in common use really tended to refer to West African shamans and shamans derrived from West African traditions. It'd be nice to see something like that (although the expansion class is a surname rather than a place name and the first word is just a Latin word).

You and me both, I love the P&P game, and have wanted to play a video game set in that world. Sadly Headfirst (CALL OF CTHULHU: DARK CORNERS OF THE EARTH) are the only developer I know got the license to make a video game of Deadlands and they didn't last long enough to complete it.

You can satisfy both groups.

I liked the page layout and the design sense. But the author reveals some suspect logic, IMO, very quickly - followed by Emphasis mine, but isn't "Maida's point" that there shouldn't *be* a distinction (ie there shouldn't be an aisle for Maida, but an aisle for all kids with all kinds of toys), not that there hasn't been enough stuff made for her (to form her own aisle)?

I suspect no, but the board may yet surprise me on this count. Will admit I'm surprised Diablo 2 throwing in classes with more than three syllables didn't throw you for a loop.

They never had the license. Red Eagle Games had the license and had partnered with Obsidian and EA (IIRC) but couldn't get the funding to do the game (EA was to only distribute). Then REG decided to take a different tact, partnering with Jet Set Games to make mobile games that didn't pan out after the kickstarter they did only raised $3,000 of the asked for $450,000. EDIT: early world after the kickstarter was cancelled was that they were going to relaunch it when Jet Set and Red Eagle had more to show of the mobile game than the initial kickstarter did, but its now almost 2 years on and I haven't heard anything else about the project.

IIRC wasn't it possible to get the highest score range without doing multiplayer?

I thought the IGN Plays the Playable Teaser was quite hilarious with the reactions of the player and the other commentator. I've been there before with survival horror games (I remember one time getting scared so bad that when something attacked me, I ended up unintentionally throwing the controller into the air via my startled reaction. Good times, good times) so I sympathize with them on this matter.

Apologies if this has been posted before:

I think the only way normal arrow stacks would work would be if they did a different inventory system. With the current one, it just doesn't make sense.

To me, there's an inherent flaw in putting an important menu at the center of the a rectangular border; while it is true that your primary vision is focused in a rough circle around the party, the field of visual information does not just sit in that circle but instead forms a series of concentric rings radiating away from the party. In that sense, you're going to block something the player may want to recognize in the field of vision with a big, immovable HUD piece in the center of the screen than you are at the corners (obviously making the HUD a solid bar renders the problem moot as there is no chance of vision past a immobile solid HUD bar). But in a smaller, piecemeal HUD, I'd think the important menu pieces would be most desirous in the corner to have the least potential impact to the player's field of vision.

Other games online that MMORPGs, you know. Yes, but I didn't feel like typing a comprehensive list and figured we could make the intuitive leap to understanding the point without being exhaustive in my description.

They're not saying they're taking over MMORPGs, they're looking at the industry as a whole and including mobile/tablet gaming.

I have to correct you on something, the official announcement that there wont be Romance came months after the game was funded. Up to then we were still debating if Romance would be in. Most promancers, like me, assumed they would be in the game on some level Is that so? I was under the impression they would not be there from the start. I wonder where I got that, then. Thanks for the correction. It wasn't explicitly stated, but several members of the writing team weren't fond of romances as they have been done in previous games so I think most people who were aware of the developers may have felt - as I did - that romance would be a longshot.

This really needs a on it.

What untapped potential? You're not going to sell salt to a thirsty person. If you want to tap a market, tap a market, but understand the market too.

A guy broke up with his girlfriend and posted the "why" to a website with screencaps of texts and tweets. Girlfriend is a game developer who (according to the posted screenies) admitted to a relationship with a game journalist who wrote positively about her game while still in a relationship with guy. Internet explodes. At least that's what I've gotten out of it. Like I said before, if an insider said EA was paying kotaku to get good reviews and positives articles, the internet would explode (and rightfuly so) But since it's a woman that had sex with a journalist (instead of bribing him with money) apparently a lot of people are dismissing the issue right away, people can't even discuss this in many websites without getting their comments deleted and their accounts shadowbanned. Even here I've seen many users suggesting the thread be deleted wich is embarrasing. Internet didn't explode when GameSpot fired one of their journalist because he gave too low score for Kane&Lynch, because Eidos (games publisher) demanded it, by threatening removing their ads from GameSpot's webpage. Eidos was then one of GameSpot's biggest advertisers. Actually I remember the internet exploded over that as well (Kane & Lynch). The problem (IMO) is that there's two parts to the story and a lot of people are talking more about Zoe Quinn and the personal details of her relationship with her boyfriend (see all of the debate that by "her own standards" she raped her boyfriend - it wasn't legal rape and anything else about their relationship is none of my business) than favoritism / unethical behavior of journalists.

I've only played the console version (PS3) because of the online only "feature" of the PC version (almost didn't play the PS3 initial release until I read it was confirmed to stand alone). Oh and about levels my Crusader is level 31 entering Act II; my Monk had beaten the game at level 38...and I agree IndiraLightfoot its made the game a bit more fun this time around.
