Well that explains why the game companies weren't up in arms about it, at least.

Isn't that graphic actually wrong now? Per http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

Microsoft had no plans to ever use their proposed draconian DRM, they knew fans would hate it. It got them a lot of press. It put the system's name out there. And now they're going to try to seem like heroes by "listening to the fans" to generate people buying the system. conspiracy theory> Let's see how far the internet takes this.

But anyhow this to me is complaining that you can tell that Elrond Half-Elven looks older in the Hobbit than in LoTR even though the Hobbit is chronologically first or that Brandon Routh doesn't look like Christopher Reeve despite their Supermans both supposedling being the same character in the same universe.

He's not in jail, from what I can tell. Last I'd heard he'd been deported to the US though and is living in Portland. And he's supposedly working on an autobiography...

Yes apparently. Every day. All day. There are several internet sites dedicated only to that. And reading it you will either cry of laughter or cry out of dispar for the future of mankind. Hehe, look at the "power grid" on the right side: http://marvel.com/universe/Captain_America_(Steve_Rogers) Well apparently some people take comic book universes seriously enough to try to classify such things :S Marvel put out handbooks that detailed a lot of specific power levels for characters.

I didn't think Morrigan or Varric looked like they looked in their previous games. That said, I'm not really sure its an issue for me either.

Apparently John McAffee lives in the world of "Saints Row"...

Right now its mostly "What else will DC break with their New 52"...

A lot of people like it; but for whatever reason that first episode really rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks for the avatar complements. But now there's pressure to maintain a high standard... ...and from a pretty good movie too (1974's voodoo-revenge film, Sugar Hill)

I don't think the posters on BSN are representative of everyone who enjoys playing Bioware games (they don't even always represent a large segment of the people who post there!). There was a nice group of people who talked about what they wanted to see in a Jade Empire sequel, for example. It was a fun discussion and for the most part didn't talk about Romance at all. There are some very... seemingly obsessed posters over there though. Sometimes what they post I find disturbing*. In that sense though, relative to me, they're not all that different from some regulars at the RPG Codex.... All kidding aside, I don't think any forum should be judged by its most radical members. I'd hate to think of what these forums look like to the BSN or Codex or other big gaming forums if judged only on the posts of a random and limited population of posters. *The "make Bethany romaceable crowd" for example

You make it sound like we're making out in this thread... I can't disagree; I think the spindly walking leg design of the AT-AT makes them a poor design choice.

Well I should have said "jet fuel", really. Isn't Jet A similar to Kerosene while Jet B is similar to gasoline?

There's been some good points raised in the various romance threads; I enjoyed discussing the pros and cons of relationships and what made sense and what didn't with a number of the more pro- and more anti- romance crowds. But some of it was really "ooo, look at those icky Bioware fans - they make me feel dirty" to "how dare you take away my sex fantasies!"; its not debate - its taking things personally without looking at the actual point of discussion IMO.

What mode of transportation can't be improved by a jet engine? Why I bet if gasoline was cheap, even kids tricycles would come with a jet engine strapped to them.

Console plebians vs PC Master Race? Fallout 1 vs Fallout 2 vs Fallout 3? Eastern European Communism vs The World? Romance Fans vs Non-Romance Fans? Turn Based vs Real Time? EA or Microsoft vs Gamers? But aren't almost debates going to have 2 opposing topics? How do you have a debate with someone without some kind of dichotomy? Because in most of these, the dichotomy is false. There's no reason to, for example, to actually be for/against consoles or PC. They both have their strength or weaknesses. Most "VS battles" are less about the topic and more about someone trying to validate their "fandom" in some way (either by backing the thing they like or being against the thing that they feel tarnishes what they like). And that's why they differ from debates. IMO.

Vesperia was only okay (IMO). Tales of Graces f I really liked though.

What!? How can anyone dislike Anna Torv? Not the actress, the character. Olivia. No real opinion on the actress as I've seen her in a grand totality of one episode of a television show I didn't like.

At one point, the more time spent under the sun, his power accumulates. Ergo he's stronger at 30 years under a yellow sun than at 20 years. So its not a one-to-one relation in that sense anymore (although probably not a geometric increase either). (Mind you he's ****ing Superman - he actually traveled forward in time past the death of the universe via collapse into the next universe created by the new big bang and then kept travelling until he got back to 20th Century earth where he picked back up as if he never left because the next universe ended up being exactly the same as the last one).

I'd be interested; of course I'd be more interested once I'm more familiar with how PE will be in the game. But I like PnP stuff too.

I never played anything past 3. I hated 3 that much. Ditto with the BoF series. YMMV. I know plenty of people who enjoyed Suikoden 3.

I thought this was going to be a "who'd win, Internet or Debates" topic. I was disapoint. I think who'd win stuff is fun if its not taken seriously. Sadly too many people take it seriously. I remember the lengthy Superman vs Goku from DBZ debate in the old usenet rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy (which also included pretty much Goku vs everyone, but usually Superman). Too many people were invested in proving that Goku or Superman would win.

I became "a dolt". It was (nearly) phonetically the same, and easier to achieve.

The only time I reloaded was when the character got chunked (or if it was very early and paying for a spell was beyond my means).
