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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

All of those abbreviated names sound like rejected party drugs. "Fuckin mith heads... I can't believe that one guy downed a whole handful of moxies. I think it's time for a little 'R&R' winkwinknodnod."

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

Jackie Chan: As was mentioned Police Story 1&2, Drunken Master and Legend of Drunken Master, and even Project A and Project A-2, Wheels on Meals has some great fighting too. Jet Li: Fist of Legend, Fearless. Bruce Lee: The Chinese Connection, and also check outthisclip to see one reason...

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...

Well both fights almost made us quit. And I played the game all of one time, about 18 years ago so probably.

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...

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...

Best part of Brazil by far was De Niro's commando plumber. It was like a mash up of Mario and Snake Pliskin.

Tech keeps getting better. Visuals keep improving. Distribution methods are getting sleeker and more convenient. Style and format has changed drastically; but the mobile, download and crowd funded markets are bringing lots of old genres back to life. Production values are a bit of a mixed...

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...

Not all prayers are equal. There is quite a range of activity that people would qualify as a prayer. Everything from a simple grace before a meal, to silent prayers hoping for safety, to a 6 hour long meditation session on top of a mountain. The controlled breathing and reciting of mantras...

Trying something different today, it's a buffet post. Take only the parts you want. Don't worry there is enough bull shit for everyone. "Surgicalifragilistic" What do they call the super secret intelligence agency in Mexico? Do you know your threat score? Find out today at...
