  1. No surprise there. Hopefully he succeeds and we don't get an extension of that garbage tier bill. If he exploits his success to get more votes I wouldn't complain.
  2. Sounds reasonable.
  3. No ****, that's because the circumstances of Muslims is in no way comparable to that of gamers. Muslim's exist in a culture of islamophobia where they can be subject to state sanctioned harassment, detainment and murder. Articles demanding an "end to muslims" in such a culture would not be tongue-in-cheek or mere hyperbole but instead contribute to the actually existing violent status quo. You cannot simply replace one group with another and treat it as if the implications are exactly the same. That said, who the **** cares that some random websites wrote some melodramatic articles on 'gamers'. I've been playing games all my life and quite frankly couldn't give a ****. Until we live in a world where employers are not hiring gamers, people are running around murdering gamers or the state itself has "declared war on gamers" you are just another tumblr generation kiddie desperate to be "oppressed". If we cannot change games journalism, then we might as well give up on everything. Explain.
  4. Its one xpack in two parts. I'm expecting 6 to 10 hours per part. Source? Because if that would be true, that'd be really goddamn sad. I would absolutely expect 20-40 hours per expansion pack. 40 sounds a bit much, yes, but I'm referencing it as thresholds. Minimum 20, maximum 40. Anything less than 20 would be unacceptable for a real expansion pack, and anything above 40 would just be ridiculously unreasonable to expect. Those are just freaking ridiculous expectations. It took them 2.5 years to make 40-60 hour game and now you expect them to make 20-40 hours expansions in few months. Prepare to be disappointed I guess. There is nothing ridiculous about those expectations. Obsidian had to make more than just make some new areas and quests. They had to make the classes, develop the rule system, and establish the method in which they create content. Adding new monsters, quests, and items shouldn't take long at all. The only aspect that would be challenging is making the new areas quickly, but as long as Obsidian really stretches the use of the new areas a 20-40 hr long expansion is completely possible.
  5. Obsidian should not waste their time on romance DLC. Give me the expansion and the sequel and the sequel's expansion and we can talk about crappy dlc's. I'd almost be willing to pay Obsidian to NOT make the romance DLC.
  6. I doubt that's something GG would have issue with. What does that have to do with games journalism?
  7. That's very generous of you, nice one Namutree What happens to a body if the family can't pay any funeral costs? I dunno actually.
  8. My friend's dad just died yesterday so I've decided to give him a bunch of money to help him cover the funeral costs and whatnot. It sucks for me as I really wanted to get some video games, but oh well. Friends come first.
  9. Well, wishing for the constitution to contain things which are fundamentally incompatible/contradictory with the things the constitution does contain, is pretty much showing contempt for the latter. It's not contempt as contempt isn't the same as disagreement. I've met people whom truly hold the constitution in contempt, and they don't wish it was more aligned with their political views; they wish it and the concept behind a constitution didn't exist at all. <---That's contempt.
  10. On public radio, several years before he ran for the presidency. You call that an open declaration of contempt of our founding documents? Sounds more like he thinks it doesn't do enough for the people since it only covers negative rights, but it's not like he thinks those rights bad; he just wishes it also included positive rights. That's not really contempt.
  11. Time for a new picture :)

  12. I like this pack, but multiple female portraits I would've wanted to use had weird lookin' yellow eyes for some reason.
  13. I actually ate at a "Rally's" fast food chain today. I rarely eat fast food (usually it's veggies and I'm just so dang bored of veggies) so I went a little nuts. I got a double BBQ bacon cheese burger (sounds healthy:)) which has two burger patties, lettuce, BBQ sauce, 2 fried onion rings, and plenty of bacon. It was pretty tasty. I also got a small chili and a small box of chicken bites (basically chicken nuggets) to go with it. Rally's is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I like it, but I kinda feel bad after I eat it; I think, "Dang. That's so unhealthy! Next time I should just go to subway." Veggies vs Hamburger .....not much of a choice there young grasshopper, hamburger wins easily Well, usually I actually do choose veggies (especially celery), but I'm just kinda bored of them. I need change. I'm thinking of getting a bunch of bananas tomorrow.

  15. I'm not with you ? Are you saying a stripper or hooker can get killed in RL? I'm saying that people are complaining about how "easy" it is to use a hookers services, and then kill her and get your money back in game... when you can do the exact same thing in Real Life with similar effects. You know what would be interest but outside the scope of GTA? Making it so even if people don't catch you killing the hooker, the police could figure out you're responsible through evidence if you're sloppy and don't hide the body and whatnot. Then you would have at least 1 star forever. That would be neat. Too bad that's too much to ask for.
  16. If it's famous why haven't I heard of it until now? I keep up with famous dishes and you sir, are a charlatan.
  17. Maybe? If the game already had other romances with attractive women. The reason why being that variety is the spice of life.
  18. It is a physical existence. Bhaal himself physically porks the Bhaal-spawn's mom's to get them preggers. The Bhaal-Spawn then inherit his essence physically. Bhaal can only incarnate from his physical children that were conceived simply by porking their mother's. Torture and evil help Bhaal-Spawn draw on their father's power and master control over it though.
  19. This seems silly to me. Gun prohibition or not the government will have guns. The only way to be able to put up any meaningful resistance at all is if your population is armed. Often? Can you name me 1 genocide that didn't involve a government?
  20. Waiting for some of the other libertarian/conservative minded people besides myself to notice this post. This is gonna be good. How we train our cops definitely needs to be reformed.
  21. ..anyway - isn't she your sister in the game? And don't you sort of know that from the beginning..? Or did I just miss something essential about this entire thing. Your pc doesn't find out she's your half-sister (same father, Bhaal; different mother) until halfway through the game. This is where the obstacle to your being able to romance Imoen come from. Not really. Many of them just like Imoen, the fact she's your half sister is just an unfortunate detail they have to deal with. At least, that's the impression I got from talking to people about it. As for me, I've replayed BG2 like 20 times and I just need new content. I've download lots of mods. Some were good, and some were like this one; crap. Probably, but such an improvement should be for new npcs; not ones from the vanilla game with already established personalities.
  22. How are they going to solve this injustice of involuntary celibacy? Provide people with sex? This might not be so bad. Can't wait to see where this goes...
  23. If it's Paul I can assure you we'll have a deal with Iran pretty quickly. The guy likes our situation with Iran less than Obama. Any other republican though? That's a different story. If Paul isn't the GOP nominee I might have to vote.. Democrat... :( I guess at that point I wouldn't vote at all.
