    Ender's Game (2013)

    Card is a major d-bag, but considering the quality of most contemporary authors, saying EG is overrated isn't saying anything at all. Par for the course really. Anyway, a large portion of the western world disagrees with you. Cheers!

    DOTA 2

    Yes, I knew about the dates when I posted it. It was a poor attempt at humor. I wasn't expecting you to get ?defensive? about it on either point. I can't remember how the argument went earlier in the thread, but I stand confident I'm not alone with the idea that it's that "1%" of dedicated...

    DOTA 2

    At least when you go pro, they can look at those heros and think "OMG! Secret strat in the works..." Right? Oh yeah. No one really innovates in 99% of this game.

    DOTA 2

    I don't know how you guys in VHigh do it. Every very high game I've played had people with skill levels the tutorial would be too advanced for, egos so fragile that one unassisted gank turned into a throw, or was made up of 5 man hit squads. Its like once you reach a moderate level of skill...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Minus the dragonbore and add the Warden and I agree with you. Except I question the statement that everyone playing the same but differant hero provides MEs marketability. The banter comment makes me wonder. Does having strongly positive PnP experience (or lack therof) effect expectations...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    And that is the point I was trying to get across. Character development and legitimacy as the ridiculous trade off for a fully voiced PC. It blows my mind how you take a step back from the compromise (ME - Origin/History + Voice vs DA:O - origins/character gen/no voice).

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    DA2/AP dialogue >>>>> ME Dialogue wheel by far, that wasn't what I was asking though. I understand you like Hawke, but If it came down to having a voiced lead, would you still want it if it meant a stunted, canned persona over a (possibly) immersion killing, but more adaptive character...

    DOTA 2

    Maybe it's because I'm at work, but I can't remember where to check my current ranking status anymore. I was just looking at it two weeks ago too... ps Still need a trade thread.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    It's definitely not as immersive as DA2/AP style conversation, but I appreciated the apparent trade off for PC customization and having the option for fluid conversations outside of set piece scenes. Falling for Leliana and building up her affection score with continous QnA/story telling felt...

    question

    What he said. Depends on your positions relatively, the C2 hierarchy, and what your lane is. In most jobs leaving your lane, regardless of intent, is worse than being a fuck-up.

    Having an existential crisis

    It was already mentioned, but it's been my experience that the only people having an existential crisis were those of faith around me. I had my "Atheist Epiphany" early on in life and have never had any major issues arise besides social anxiety of being the only non-believer in a room for most...

    The proliferation of stupidity

    I am several years short of 35. I think my generation of peers are self-entitled, extremely ignorant, and prone to avoid personal social interaction if a digital device is remotely available. I have met some of the best of my generation and look forward to what they'll accomplish in their...

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    So, without knowing your religious preference and only knowing your claimed heritage, two questions. 1. Why Iranian? Most if not all "Westernized" Iranians I've ever met go with Persian. 2. Thoughts on Sikhs keeping the beard and turban in uniform?

    Berserk arc III

    So for those of us that watched the series on netflix back in 2009ish, are we finally caught up and past the rape scene or what? Or do I still need to wait out another year or so to watch the reboot and get past where the original ended?

    Quantum of Solace

    I enjoyed Skyfall, because it was the first Bond film since Casino Royale. QoS was just a boring, generic, action movie that for some reason had Daniel Craig and seemed to link up where a sequel to CR would have picked up.

    The Division

    I'm excited. I was thinking it would be what Ghost Recon: Future Soldier should have been until the end and realized it was a console-MMOTPS. Which I'm feeling neutral about, but it still looks like fun.

    Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (STEAM!)

    Here I thought ToD was going to be doomed to a subpar EMU. This is the first remake I feel I can endorse. Can't wait to finish this trip and pull the trigger.

    ISP Options

    Looking at changing providers and wanted to gauge the community on their experiences. We have ATT - aDSL Mediacom - Cable Comcast - Cable available in my area. Currently using ATT @ 6mb/s and are fine minus a dying modem. Seems like a reasonable time to upgrade, but not sure if it's...

    DOTA 2

    Funniest moment I've had in the game was wiping on a 5-man at Dire mid T2. Bristle was the last man standing on our team and basically walked around in circles in their jungle. 5 heros beating on bristle for literally 3 minutes. They ended up all dying from successive quilblasts . Gauntlet...

    Betrayed at Work

    Only #1 is valid. Your "friend" was a shitbag; plain and simple. Just like you point out, you move ahead by cultivating relationships. This one just had thorns. Be wary in the future, but there is no harm in continuing to make friends. Glad you got yourself together and talked it out with the...

    Using Ghostery. Aside from the banner change and forums being locked while not logged in, the webpage hasn't changed for me since the community moved. I feel bad for those of you not using plugins.

    New Fable Remake?

    I definitely think there are plenty of stronger runners for that title, but taken into context with what Peter Molyneux promised (which I don't think any game has come close to realizing yet) it was the most over-hyped product in gaming history which translates to biggest letdown/failure in my...

    Wargame AirLand Battle

    It has four campaigns (very short, medium, medium, long) that alternate PACT/NATO (2 each), but outside the strategic map it plays like multiple tactical AI skirmishes with decks (Force Array) that are forced onto you based on your strategic decisions. Things may get fleshed out with...

    Do we know for sure it's completely automated? Supposedly I've been BS reported multiple times and never had action taken against my account, yet I know for certain 1 or 2 of the people I have reported have had their account locked for 5 days and assuming the rest have been muted/locked.

    Betrayed at Work

    You know on one hand I'd be counting my blessing that this "friend" wasn't the opposite sex as this sounds almost exactly like a hostile environment/sexual harassment case. Getting baited into a conversation that the other party "is too uncomfortable" to personally defuse or walk away from while...

    black islamist beheads British soldier in London

    Last poll the BBC ran showed that a large majority of Police did not wish to be armed if given the option. The vote was then broken down to numerous reasons such as:The Risk of Elevation of Hostilities, The Wrongfulness of Taking life, Being Held to the Same Civil Standards as Citizens. This...
