    243: Misadventures in Role-playing

    I did something like that in Half Life 2 once. There's a scene later on when you get to set up some turrets to defend against incoming enemies. I took one of the turrets and carried it along, which was sometimes difficult because the obstacles weren't meant to be tackled with a turret in hands...

    The English Language

    I've only ever lived in Germany and Japan, and so far I can tell that people in both countries seem to think that english is "cool". Especially japanese companies just have to have an english slogan, or else they're not cosmopolitan enough or whatever. They also need to have some english printed...

    Japanese Gamers Divided on Subtitles vs. Dubs

    Most western movies that come out in Japan are actually not dubbed into Japanese. Everything that's meant for kids is usually dubbed, for obvious reasons, but popular western movies, whether on TV or in cinema are usually with the original dub + japanese subtitles. For example, the Coco...

    Mass Effect 2: Your ending?

    I almost thought so. The only reason I didn't play ME1 is because I didn't have the right computer at the time. Got a new one just recently and just thought about playing part 1 when the second one came out. Going to play the first one next, then import my Savegame to the ME2 and play that...

    Mass Effect 2: Your ending?

    I guess it's the latter. But also seems to be a matter of what ship upgrades you do. I didn't upgrade any parts of the ship because I didn't want to spend a lot of time with mining. So for me, too, Legion, Jack and Thane got blewn up. I had gotten Legion just before going there, so I wasn't...

    Algorithmize This!

    With the internet slowly replacing television, it's not so surprising that contents like these are popular. As far as TV goes, stations seemingly decided that they would send things that appeal to the masses almost exclusively, just because it's more profitable. They're companies after all, not...

    a public TS server to talk to people

    Hello, I'm not looking for a TS server for me and my guild or anything like that, if that's what you suspected from reading the topic. I've recently been looking around a lot for a TS server or something similar (basically a voice chat where anyone could join). My efforts with google haven't...

    Xbox Live Achievement Points - what are they good for?

    First off, I don't own an Xbox or a PS3, so this is not a rhetorical question. I really don't know what these points are good for. I think the PS3 has a similar system, but right now I'm only sure about the Xbox having these "Achievement points". I watched a bit of a let's play Assassins...

    Worst Voice Actors

    In this video posted earlier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulbotKa5LnM Does anyone know who's the voice actor for No 7? Something like ".. she is female, 25 years old". That voice sounds so familiar but I can't remember where I heard it.

    Any (real) Brawlers Here?

    I don't get into fights at all. Actually, no one I know gets into fights at all. I don't see a reason for this kind of hostility either. Seems like some people enjoy beating up others and being beaten up, much like a lot of people enjoy playing videogames where you fight, but I think it you...

    If you knew the origin of the Universe...

    Even if it's an "undeniable proof", a lot of people will still ignore or deny it. Also I don't think that a lot of religious people would try to hunt down the one who found out this proof. How many people are there hunting scientists because they're proving religious things wrong?

    "How did you know"

    Why is that so bad? You should be grateful your friend guessed it so you didn't have to bring yourself to tell someone. You friend can probably help you get closer to the girl you like by creating some situations where you "accidently" meet. =) Regarding the original topic: I don't do much...

    What is religion?

    Even among theologists there is no clear definition about what's a religion and what isn't. Like the example with World of Warcraft, others have already stated that the "cults" formed around certain media figures have a lot of similarities with religions. It doesn't have to involve spiritual...

    Scariest Games you've Ever Played

    In Doom2 I was terribly scared of the Arch-viles. They set you on fire just to warn you and then, a second later, blow half of your health away with one shot that can't be dodged or avoided unless you go out of their line of sight. That was when I was younger. When I was even younger I was...

    Cat's in the cradle

    I always thought it was more like "Watch how you treat your children because they learn from you" and also "Take care of your children because some day it'll be up to them to take care of you." But I still don't understand what "the silver spoon" means.
