    Shadowrun Returns

    I agree that the game is a bit of a let down at this point. It doesn't really feel very fleshed out. It kinda feels like a demo for a much bigger game. Tons of different facets and aspects and hardly any of them really get utilized. If they keep producing more campaigns, and don't charge very...

    Shadowrun Returns

    I got bored with my adept and decided to restart. I made an elf Decker/Rigger that uses rifles. Here are some observations: As a final note... Naming your Rigger "Obama" is awesome. First because he uses drone strikes to kill people, just like the real Obama. And Second, you get to see...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Made a troll adept. Focused on unarmed combat and chi casting with level 2 spell casting to equip heal. Basically first round I cast killer hands and sprint and the next round I dash around the map punching people goodnight. If anyone in my party happens to take a shotgun blast to the face, heal...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Played the SNES version when I was a kid. I really enjoyed that game, (even if I cheesed the hell out of it by farming max karma with an auto fire controller in the vampire's dungeon.) Reading the reviews it seems SRR is screaming to be fleshed out with some User Created Content. I am going to...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    And the rest of my statement said it was not applicable to this case, because Zimmerman did not act in the way I had assumed. So I agree with you.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Well if Zimmerman's position does not change from the point where the 911 operator tells him to stop pursuing, that means Martin had to return to him. If that is the case then Martin was obviously not afraid enough to be running for his life. I understand that now, and realize that Zimmerman...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    I was simple stating that if you create a situation were a person feels threatened enough to defend themselves, you take on the responsibility of what results. If I were to chase women down alleyways and they maced, tazed or shot me, I would bear the responsibility of having created the...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    I am going to be lazy and not thoroughly read through the majority of this thread that I have missed before spewing forth my own opinions. But that's ok because my opinions carry more weight than your anyways. Everyone profiles everyone they see, everyday. It is ingrained in our heads to...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I am looking forward to Shadowrun Returns getting released later this month. But mostly I have been bumming around steam sales and GoG sales, finding decent games I missed and playing through those. The entertainment value to cost ratio for old PC titles is golden. I did fund the Project...

    The Writing Thread - Post Shit You've Written (And Criticize What's Posted)

    Yeah, it's hard to stop sometimes when you get going. I usually end up quickly drafting up some notes about what has happened in the world, and how certain groups came about. However, I keep asking myself, "Why does the reader need to know this?". It might be interesting, but if it's not adding...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Well that is what I mean, they had this vision of being able to combine a lot of content delivery services, and yet did none of the leg work to make it possible. I still think the interim between when mobile devices rule everything and today will see an expansion of the set top box or merger...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I see where the Xbone was going really. And in the long run I think we are all going to wind up there. Here is what I think the intended destination of the Xbone was: Not too distant future people buying a T.V. and "content box" will be pretty standard. Streaming movies and television...

    Dark Souls 2

    I typically kill Ornstein first if it's the first playthrough. Just get aggressive and take him down as quick as possible. The longer both of them are up, the harder it's going to get. For Smough, I would charge him and get close to get him to trigger his ground slam attack and then run away. I...

    The Astronomy Thread

    The fact that cosmic rays are coming mainly from one direction makes sense. The sun's solar wind is creating a large area of interference directly behind the voyager craft, and could be blocking rays from reaching it. As for the magnetic field not changing? Maybe the sun's magnetic field...

    The Division

    Qwerty Doesn't use voice chat. He despises it actually. He is not upset that this voice chat was scripted, he is upset that voice chat exists. I like to think that QWERTY lives in a Howard Hughes style sealed penthouse suite. He is absolutely and completely revolted by all direct human...

    EQ Never

    Tech isn't up to snuff yet, but it would be interesting if voice recognition was used for interacting with NPCs. Say something, it gets converted to text, the text is then read for key phrases or pushed through some siri like program to try and decipher what the fuck you just said, the NPC...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Given the state of public education in this country, saying someone is a high school dropout really isn't the insult it used to be. In fact, in some cases it probably means the person was gifted and struggled to conform to the super low expectations we have for kids these days.

    Because it's disturbing to be forced into someone else's fantasy. And what it costs is time and money and resources, ensuring that every flavor and texture and shade and scent of humanity winds up with it's own individually labeled ... whatever. And most likely it's going to cost people their...

    I have no problem with what people decide to do to their own bodies. But fuck you if you start dictating how I should perceive reality. Religious people who spout off every opportunity they get, about how great their belief system is, get all kinds of flak. They are projecting their beliefs unto...

    Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (STEAM!)

    Friend was having his 12th birthday party and we went to this 3 story video arcade and go cart track. Everyone brought some cash and his parents bought like $100 in tokens. We messed around half the day on go carts and what amounted to a driving simulator, which ate up the majority of our...

    Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf & other "game books" - age & questions

    When I was a kid I stumbled upon an old adventure book. I had to do some sleuthing to figure out what is was again. It was called "SwordQuest: Quest for the Dragon's Eye" and was one of a series of books. It only requires a D6 to play and I think I remember the content being fairly tame. (No...

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    A billion years is a long time. That's long enough for the legos, and the room they are located in, to breakdown from weathering, get incorporated into layers of sediment and eventually compressed into rock. Depending on where this room was located this rock might get thrust up into a mountain...

    The Xbone will still ship and it will still sell "some" consoles. There are bunches of people that don't follow this stuff too close, and will just buy whatever plays halo 12. That being said, the next 5 months, from here until black Friday, will see Microsoft backpedaling and trying to spin...

    How to addict consumers to a real next-generation MMO

    Especially if a player has the tools to exact righteous vengeance on the flaming dick hole that stole his loot, way back when he was level 5. Nothing better than catching up with someone that screwed you over when you were a lowbie, and dishing out some pain. Everyone needs to find their one...

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    How to addict consumers to a real next-generation MMO

    Item progression IS leveling, just in another form; especially when items have primary stats on them. Eliminating leveling is simply merging all of that progression into another system, which can work. I like a lot of the ideas being thrown around (mostly because I am a sucker for armchair...
