I'm gonna grab it, if nothing else to support the idea of making such a thing, let them see there is profit in it, that there is a demand for such things - so that maybe they put some similar sort of effort into future products. I miss the old days of things like the baldur's gate 2 spiral...

Why should she buy the cow when she can have the milk for free? She's not leaving him because she gets what she likes from him that you lack, and what she likes from you that he lacks - whatever that may be. Whatever you do, don't have a real relationship w/her, even if she leaves this...

I second dungeon siege 3. it ran well, that's all i could say for it. Another diablo-like - path of exile. Really like the leveling up system, nice and different, and how you obtain abilities, but the gameplay is mind numbingly easy (it might get harder at some point later on, but it takes...

People who argue for prayer in schools in the U.S. These are usually very right wing, very christian, very fundamentalist sorts. They don't think it through though. Trouble is, these same people would probably also be the *most* disturbed by finding out that islamic and hindu and all...

its easy to get a patent, even an invalid one. Its hard to keep it. Patents can be voided for being overly broad/vague. This description sounds like sega's might be overly broad (but who knows how much license the original story writer took, we'd have to see the actual patent to...

I went w/Ranger, Archer kit. Have all the new npc's in my party, leaving one slot for a vanilla npc of choice, so i'm seeing mostly new stuff w/the npc's. Closing in on chapter 4 now. fingers crossed for an early bg2ee, icewind dale enhanced, planescape torment enhanced, bg3, iwd3, and pst2

You think that's bad: at one of my colleges we were on a forced curve of 2.7. In a typical class, as an example, there'd be one slot for an A+. Highest grade would get it. If you did almost as well, stellar even, but not quite as good as the person ahead of you, no matter how great your...

The law. People think because they looked up a case or statute they know what the law is, then act on it, and if they are lucky, they'll have happened to be correct - but often they are unknowingly incorrect and end up in trouble. There are plenty of lawyers out there, use one. They aren't...

I have had the same problem. I'm actually very social, not shy at all, often the life of the party. But i usually prefer to be alone. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy hanging w/friends, but I prefer to do it like once a month. The trouble is, I go hang w/friends and we have a great...

WA state would be my pick. I live in WA. This would free us from the union and allow us to join up w/our brothers in Canada. Otherwise - Mississippi.

Historic inaccuracies don't bother me. Usually. Because often the inaccuracy is deliberate, x is replaced w/z to make a story a better story. Usually its about the plot, or a gameplay mechanic, and the 'history' in the game is meant to be nothing more than a setting for the...

remake the games that were *awful*, there's no where to go but up. Its almost guaranteed to be better. Remaking a good game usually (not always) leads to disappointment, overhype, failure.

Ok, ages and ages ago, back in high school, i was dating this girl. Her older sister had a job, and the girl i was dating took care of her oldest sister's kid (my girlfriend's nephew) after school while her older sister was at work. This nephew was just under 2 years old. And I was dating her...

this isn't new, i remember an old thing, some physicist wrote - and i'm probably mangling it a bit, but it made its way around the net and went something like: if we assume there are other civilizations in existence if we also assume that making something like the matrix is possible (a...

Good, the more outrageous EULA's get, the more likely they'll officially become unenforceable. As far as i'm concerned its an adhesive contract and unenforceable. (you buy a movie theatre ticket and on the back it says that by using the ticket you agree that they can search your car while...
