  1. Re:All Religions are like that on Terrorists Bomb Moscow Airport · · Score: 1

    Now I'm not religious, but I'd sure as fuck rather be called a Christian than an atheist. Atheists are fucking assholes. Every single fucking one. And guess what - they have as much evidence for their beliefs as the Christians do!

    Oh yeah? Well this atheist thinks you're a poopy-head!! THPTHPPTHTP!!

    Well, yes. Remember that StarCraft 2 is something you purchase three times and then are finished spending money on, while World of Warcraft requires a monthly subscription.

    FTFY. :)

    It just struck me as funny that all of that sounds really ominous and important to somebody who's maybe 20 years old... and when you get a bit older, married, and have kids it all just sounds so stupid :) OMG, my chat logs!

    Unless you're the obsessive, jealous husband who has to keep track of his wife 24 hours a day. Or if you're going through a divorce...

  5. Re:Successful game on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 1

    Deus Ex was fantastic at allowing you multiple paths to a similar outcome. Another oft overlooked game that does this is Wing Commander 4. Like Deus Ex, you start off fighting the "Terrorists" only to discover later on that the true villains of the game are on the side that you are fighting for. WC4 would give you several opportunities as the story and game unfolded to turn to the "other side" before putting you in a 'no-win' situation where you were more or less forced into it. It struck the fine balance between guiding you onto a storyline with letting your choices appear to affect the outcome.

  11. Re:Tabula Rasa was not really that different on Why BioWare's Star Wars MMO May Already Be Too Late · · Score: 1

    I only have one complaint about the 'linear' questing: replay value. When leveling alts prior to Cata, I could be guaranteed seeing content and quests I've never run into before. You could level through any of the Northrend zones, and only see 1/3 of the quests available. Now, it looks like I'm going to see nearly each and every quest with each and every character I level from 80-85. It makes the world, and the game, feel much "smaller".

  12. Re:Tabula Rasa was not really that different on Why BioWare's Star Wars MMO May Already Be Too Late · · Score: 1

    It's definitely more challenging. Heroic Dungeons are much more like "5-man raids" now. A Demo Warlock is my primary, and I need to use a lot more of my abilities now. When I first started raiding about two years ago, my GM looked over my spec. He instructed that my "survivability" talents I'd used for leveling should be replaced with straight damage talents for Raiding. "If you're taking too much damage, you're either standing in the wrong place, or our healers aren't doing their job". With the release of Cata, my 'panic' button bar is filled with survivability spells. With healers risking going OOM 3/4 of the way into a fight, I not only have to concentrate on maximizing my damage, but also keeping myself alive. It makes the game feel much more "fresh" now.

    The only reason people *think* that he's right wing is because he's been very successfully branded that way by a bunch of idiot college students yelling "Fascist" at cops that take their marijuana away.

  19. Re:The evil "American Right"... on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    First of all, being fiscally conservative is not a matter of politics, but of basic math. If you do the math and can afford something without it impacting future plans, you can choose to buy it, otherwise you can't. Period.

    There's your problem in plain black-and-white. "Basic math" works for keeping a family budget. But when you're running a country, it's far more complex. Say you have a government with a budget of $1000. Do you spend it on military research or social programs? You say $1000 isn't enough? Do you raise taxes or cut education? Is it better to fund services for the disadvantaged now? Or to fund prisons for them later?
