I got a real Robocop vibe from it, except darker and grittier, which is saying a lot. It didn't get real campy, or have annoying, over emotional characters that made you wish the movie was 20 minutes long and ended in a fiery death for all involved. The main villain was brutal, driven and really...

Just picked the game up yesterday. Only played it a little bit. I decided to head right out of the gate on Ragnarok difficulty. It seems very well balanced for that level. All of the fights have required a lot of attention and can be really close if I don't figure out target priority and burn...

double post

I am playing through D3 for the first time on console now. (Taking forever as I am playing with a friend who has limited free time.) I can say that Cain's death scene was the most anti-climactic death in video game history. That old fucker's been to hell and back, but when he gets tickled by...

The next probability question should be this... Q: If a brain teaser is posted on an interweb forum, what are the chances someone is going to get rustled? A: Bunches As has been posted before the real situation is this: You get to choose one of three boxes. One of the boxes has a prize...

I suddenly remembered this wasn't the general forum. No point in derailing a thread about some entertaining fiction

You might want to askthiswoman why we have never released concrete evidence of his death.

Dehydrated Discussion* (Just add water and it expands like magic!) *Most of the stuff about human development is only in there because you people are horrible at staying on topic.

I bought all my books my first semester. Spent ~$350. Hardly used any of them. After that, the first thing I would check for each class was the syllabus. Just about every syllabus I came across had class schedules and due dates for assignments. If anything was assigned directly from the book, I...

My enemy's ally, who is the enemy of my ally's ally, who is my enemy, is my friend... or something like that.

I pre-ordered the console version. I have a friend down in Texas that wants to play on the console. Neither one of us have touched the PC version. No auction house, retooled combat, and increased drop rates that cater to the classes present just seems like a more laid back and enjoyable...

I prefer the term Holo-poca-caust-alypse for situations that dire.

And Spells all came from books... yeah I messed that up. Stacking int and an Archangels staff was the way to go for spells. Although everyone could use spells, I think the sorcerer was the only one who could get a mana pool substantial enough to not suck. And yet, itemization in that game was...

The biggest problem is the lack of a separate resource to increase skills effectiveness. In Diablo and Diablo 2 you had skill points. And you could derive almost all of your damage from certain skills, which made those builds love +skill items. There is no additional resource in D3. It's all...

Or a better option would be to pick 4 aspects of each characters performance and tie that to a stat. These aspects would have to be functionally different. Not all adding to damage or all adding to survival. But each one would enhance each class, just differently. Str: increases melee and...

Maybe this will devolve into the typical shitfest we have seen, with our troops getting deployed. However I think this is going to be another remote war like Libya. I think drones and missiles and RC helicopters armed with fireworks are going to be the weapons of choice. If they keep pushing the...

Oh holy shit... I fail. I totally forgot the ZF1. It's like 6 weapons in one or something.

Melee Option:Berserk Pack(Doom, with the brutal doom mod installed) Fire Support:Engineer's Turret, (TF2) Long Range:Farsight, (Perfect Dark) Heavy Weapon:"standard issue big Gun", (Ghost in the Shell) Force Superiority:Satellite Rain, (Syndicate Wars)

Because this did not start as an armed uprising. This started as a series of protests. The Syrian government's response? Start killing civilians. It took quite a while before a unified armed resistance evolved out of that. Slaughtering your own people is not something a sane administration...

Ok now imagine if everyone is required by law to arm themselves whenever they leave their home. It's totally out there and well within the realm of "neva-eva-gunnahappen". But think about that from the point of view of criminals. Now there is no guess work, now they know that if they pull a...

I think any military action taken by the U.S. without a clear indication from the U.N. that the Syrian government actually used chemical weapons would be a huge misstep. Russia is already leaving not so vague indications that U.S. involvement, without UN approval, is not going to work in...

The goal of the insurgent actions in both Iraq and Afghanistan was not revolution, nor the outright defeat of U.S. forces. The goal was simply to maintain hostilities in order to inflict casualties and hopefully cause approval for the wars to wane here in the U.S. Also for the insurgents to...

An armed revolution will not work in America because it will never get to the level of coordination needed for it to succeed. The NSA, FBI, CIA and any other government agency that may examine the activities of the public with a critical eye have been aware of the potential threat of an armed...

Immunity did suck in D2. However, it really forced you to plan a character to be able to deal with it, whether through gear or skills. There were very few combos that could completely shut a character down if they didn't put all their eggs in one basket. I had a Frenzy barb that could clear the...

Not if he raised sound points and was able to successfully defend his position. People would have respected his decision in that case, more than currently anyways. As it is, other people have to defend his position for him. Simply asserting an argument and then leaving the discussion permanently...

I wouldn't have had an opinion on the matter because he would have been just another blip on the radar. Life is for the living, what goes on here is the sole discretion of those who are not afraid to live. If he wished to share his opinions on the matter he should have stuck around to defend...

I read his reasoning for why... what a presumptuous, selfish, arrogant and narcissistic old fool. His case for why he wished to die revolved around not being personally embarrassed by the aging process. Big fucking deal, my grandmother had more balls than this puffed up pussy... and yet he goes...

I read most of the Ender's series. It's funny that Ender's game really doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the books. I really didn't like the books that followed Ender's life after the battle school. Shit just got weird, but in a boring convoluted sorta way, not an interesting and...

I pay $41 a month for full liability and coverage for my truck. It's a 2001, so yeah it's old, but it runs fine and I would be kinda screwed without it.

Probably. Looking directly at someone without augmented sight is going to be a rare thing, so actual appearance probably wont be as big of a focus. Having all sorts of graphics and filters and effects associated with your profile, that will then be applied to your image for anyone else looking...

I keep thinking about the eventual utilization of augmented reality. One aspect of having all kinds of information spliced into your POV though is the potential distraction it can cause. People with cellphones are bad enough, people with google glass must be fucking zombies at times. Self...

Except man is producing conditions that are leading to nastier, deadlier pathogens. We are creating environments that couldn't occur naturally, and micro organisms are adapting to these new environments with frightening efficiency. Expecting some random plague to erupt out of the rain forest is...

It doesn't need to kill everyone. It just has to be incredible infectious, hard to treat and very lethal. Civilization will have a hell of a time getting it under control. If it can't be brought under control, then yeah civilization goes out the window. People may survive it, but how many and...

Pretty much this...

Bahamut Lagoon. Of course when I went to quote the picture the title was in the img tag Anyways here's one from a ways back... I actually beat this one too...

I decided to jump right in and try the difficult campaign in iron man mode. My first hostile encounter was a random event in the mountains. It went poorly. I wracked up 5 critical injuries, one of which was one of my doctors. I blew through all my saved up rations and medicine nursing everyone...

Daily Deal on Steam right now is 50% off of "Expedition: Conquistador" for $9.99. I was looking for another turn based strategy game and this one seems to have had a decent reception.

I guess basically what I was hoping for is more of a continuous set of challenges for each play-style. By that I mean, each mission or level gives a character the opportunity to overcome the main hurdles in a unique way that capitalizes their strengths. You could break this down by stat...

Except I didn't buy a toolset with a game tacked on. If that is how it had been advertised and sold, fine. This was touted as a game first. There are plenty of games that leave room for UCC, but also deliver a fleshed out experience. There was tons of potential within the deadman switch campaign...
