Not going to take your advice, Awlbiste. I"ve never used those things in my life. My wife would look at me funny if I started now. Common sense? I consider it common sense not to sleep with the local ho. Why tempt fate when over half the humans in the world are women? I know some guys who...

Sleeping with a gal who you know is sleeping around on you sounds like a great way to increase your odds of contracting an STD. Casual sex with some random broad doesn"t seem worth the risk. Of course everything currently happening is natural, Eomer. The tools and cities we build are every...

Men can wear some types of height boosting shoes too, though not normally so extreme as what women can wear. Cowboy boots are one obvious example of menswear with heels, but also dress shoes and generic business-casual shoes will have often heels about an inch to an inch and a quarter thick...

Least you can do is make sure the woman"s husband knows she"s been cheating on him if he doesn"t already know. Most guys like to know about that sort of thing. Danth

My god. It happened. Keg actually posted something that I agree with. I have several female relatives who worked in modeling and/or as actresses, and they all say the same thing: They more or less had to sleep their way up (one made it all the way to the Paris fashion shows). Two of them never...

No kidding. When my grandmother found out her husband was seeing other women behind her back, she had the guy shot. Some women just allow life to stomp in their faces. It"s a shame. ------------- As for religions, I agree with the above comment: It could work as long as the atheist is...

Jerle"s response seems reasonable to me. None of the men in that "may or may not be true" story is anything but a complete piece of human filth. I find the story, and the description itself, vile enough that I will err on the side of it being a fabrication. Jerle: You know full well that...

No need to make fun of you Aamina, not this time. You did the right thing for once. If she was as drunk as you say, if you had sex with her then it"d have been rape, plain and simple. Do as you wish, but you had best keep in mind that women who get that drunk and lose control of themselves in...

I don"t entirely agree with you, Kilvek. Your "stuck-up" approach does actually work on some women, that I won"t argue. However, I submit that the women stupid enough for that schtick to work on aren"t women you want to waste your time with, anyway. Who wants a long-term relationship, much less...

Erronius said it, others say it, I"ll say it too: You may as well move on, V. Women, especially younger women, are notoriously inept at telling a man that they aren"t interested. They always waffle, always say it half-baked, never want to "hurt someone"s feelings." Take Erronius" translation as...

Hah, now that"s funny stuff. Joke"s on me, but thanks for the laugh. Livens up a boring Friday night. Obviously I don"t watch that TV show since I didn"t see the reference, but that makes it funnier. Danth

I applaud your using the word "pedantic". I really do--I like seeing folks with a good vocabulary, and it"s a fair description of my style too. My posts are shallow or deep as the subjects require, and ultimately we"re on a fairly shallow subject at the moment, so I actually agree with you on...

It"s common within my experience, meaning my own marriage as well as women I talk to (taking into account what I noted about women"s inconsistency with their enjoyment of sex). Since I don"t believe my life to be in any way exceptional, logically I conclude that therefore such is ordinary. I...

"that"s bullshit. explain lesbians." Explain them? What is there to explain? Perhaps you weren"t specific enough with your request as I"m not sure what you"re getting at. Some men happen to like men more than women, some women happen to like women more than men. That happens in nature. Seems...

Okay, I"ll elaborate. Have you ever had ten or twelve or fifteen orgasms in a row? Have you ever enjoyed it so much that you scream out uncontrollably? I sure haven"t and don"t know any man who has (much less had thatregularly), yet that"s pretty commonplace for women. Men seem more consistent...

"It"s rare to see that in relationships but would be pretty cool if it were common. Most people just smack talk behind one another"s backs, hold grudges, and/or work on an exit plan!" The majority of marriages ultimately fail, too. I strongly believe these two facts are closely related...

That"s an easy enough one Eomer. There"s no such thing as a perfect long-term couple who never argues. It just doesn"t exist. Some couples simply keep their fights hidden (and even lie about/deny it) so as to present a good public image. Children can also add a great deal of stress to a...

"If all your tanking classes are somewhat equal, why have seperate tanking classes in the first place?" There"s a great reason. Even if you have two tanks of equal durability, there"s no reason they couldn"t differ in important aspects such as play style (ie, how many buttons per second the...

Twobit--you"re making the mistake of trying to apply that concept to Warcraft. That wouldn"t work (for exactly the reason you describe). A game needs to be designed from the ground up to support its combat design. Simply out, design content where you don"t (or can"t) use three tanks/two...

"But it just breaks down at the endgame." Funny you should say that. I agree. Lots of things break down at the endgame. Class balance typically falls apart. Character progression comes to a screeching halt (especially solo progression), or at least slows dramatically. Basic gameplay often...

The only people who "look up" to the hardcore players are the second-rate hardcore wanna-be"s. The rest of the player base doesn"t care about the existence of hardcore players except when complaining by the latter screws things up. The "they look up to us!" argument only exists within the minds...

"This speculation rolls around every time a new tier is about to be launched, and sub numbers just keep going up." Blizzard has the good fortune of existing in an industry where most its competitors are utterly incompetent. Warcraft also seems designed as inoffensively as possible. Players...

How about moving away from the concept of damage dealing as a "class role" instead? That makes more sense. In a class-based type of game, everyone ought to do relatively similar overall damage (though class A might have higher burst than class B, etc) with classes differentiated by the other...

Better yet, don"t require people to cease all movement when channeling a spell. That"s how Vanguard did it. After playing Vanguard, Warcraft"s spell casting model felt clunky and obsolete. Danth

Fair enough. My view is that most forms of raiding inherently suck as gameplay and as such should be thrown in the trash heap. That said, with regards to Muru specifically, the problem lay in how tightly tuned the encounter was--thus requiring those couple hundred attempts--as opposed to a few...

Speak for yourself Zehn. As far as I"m concerned, "trash" is the most fun stuff to fight in Warcraft. The named are too annoying and gimmicky. If you can"t tolerate a few pulls of trash, I submit that you don"t really likeplaying the gamein the first place. Danth

"It"s a pretty sad state of affairs when your raiding history reads like a resume." That"s appropriate enough, since raiding as it exists in most MMORPGs effectively amounts to a part-time job, or more in many cases. Danth

I never saw this thread in the "olden days". Upon reading it today, for whatever reason my mind"s eye visualized something like a Wright Flyer--the notable thing being that such airplanes had skids, not wheels, with minimal power. That kite ain"t going anywhere Of course, give a rickety box...

I would say whether gameplay is "casual" or "hardcore" or in-between is largely unrelated to how many people a game requires the player to group with. In other words, something isn"t automatically "casual" just because it can be done solo. The fact that Sigil apparently sees things...

In response to the post discussing what the market wants, I have to point out that Runescape is almost nothing but a long grind with slow-paced combat, a harsh death penalty, and bad graphics. It pulls in over 800K subscribers. Even accounting for its subscription price, it"s probably more...

"Vanguard is not for Casual gamers. Period. Speak with your heart, not with your wallet Brad, sometimes it gets better results, trust me." Here"s one of Vanguard"s most pressing long-term issues. Who is this game aimed at? Let"s skip the "core gamer" answer and go into things a bit deeper...

I like Vanguard"s graphics. I don"t like it for its quality; I was happy when games were played at 640x480x256. I like Vanguard"s graphics because stuff looksnormalfor the most part. I liked early EQ for much the same reason, and I liked WoW up until I reached the upper levels and stuff started...
