It's similar for me. The game just didn't have much depth. I didn't need to force myself to finish the main quest with my first character, but I got tired of it a few levels into the main dungeon. Maybe some day I'll try it with a different class, for at the moment there are too many other games vying for my time.
The graphics are very pleasing though, wish more games looked like that. Except for all the explosions/spell effects which make it really hard to see where you need to click....
This indicates that everyone is connected to the force, that through dedication and faith anyone can become a Jedi.
Um, no for the second part. Never in the history of Star Wars has it been indicated that just anyone can become a Jedi. You pretty much had to be born with it, even if you don't know you have it until its trained. The whole "Obi-Wan: That boy is our last hope. Yoda: No. There is another. " conversation meant that Luke and Leia were the only two people they knew who could learn to wield the force.
One theory I've read is that Starcraft 2 simultaneously taxes too many components of your card too highly - something the card may not be designed to handle.
According to David Rocah, the ACLU attorney handling Mr. Graber's case, 'To charge Graber with violating the law, you would have to conclude that a police officer on a public road, wearing a badge and a uniform, performing his official duty, pulling someone over, somehow has a right to privacy when it comes to the conversation he has with the motorist.'" (emphasis mine)
If this David Rocah had even bothered to view the video in question, he'd know the officer was not wearing a uniform.
The only sane position to take is that they're all wrong, and while there might exist an omnipotent entity, it's insane to think he gives a fuck about you following a religion.
I prefer to think that any deity would have no way of knowing whether or not it is a puppet of some higher deity. A truly omnipotent and omniscient being would have no problem causing someone else to think they are omnipotent and omnicient.
I can accept FTL travel as maybe possible, but time travel seems farfetched to me. It means that every single state that the universe has ever been in is preserved (somewhere) in it's exact state.
Not somewhere but somewhen (though I guess it doesn't make much difference with space-time). Basically its preserved in the past. You don't go to some database in the present to unarchive it - all the present contains is the state of the present.
The problem with all of those approaches is that they assume a "meta-time" (even if not stated as such) that will alter the PRESENT based upon changes in the FUTURE.
And that's exactly how it is. In fact, it's meta-times all the way down.
Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve, said that in the event of the company going bust, they'd disable authentication (which they have apparently successfully tested), allowing people to play the games without Valve's servers being there.
They might be able to do this for Valve (single player) games, but I doubt other publishers will let it slide for their stuff.
You can install games on up to 5 computers, and from what I've heard, you can have that reset if you're the type of person who reinstalls their OS every so often.
Wait what now? Steam has installation limits? Never heard of that until now...
I agree, you shouldn't get achievements for just getting to the next level, or killing another boss, or whatever. I'm fine with an achievement for finishing the game on various difficulty levels, but other than that you should be able to beat the game without getting any achievements (and that without going out of your way to avoid them.)

I think there might have beem a couple pictures of me online from class photos, but I haven't been able to find any.
One can take the bolded section in one of two ways:
1. If you believe in god, why would the existence of aliens prove that god doesn't exist?
Or
2. Why would you deny evidence in front of you?
"Belief in God" is quite different from "Belief in what the Church tells you."

Sorry, can't think of a good car analogy.
We can agree to disagree about copyright. We can't agree to disagree about actually hurting each other.
Hope that helps.
So who agrees as to the definition of "hurt"? I bet some people whose copyrights get infringed upon feel rather hurt by it.
How does that technique solve the problem where a feature exists but is implemented differently?
Obviously the program must contain a sandbox environment which runs a suite of unit tests against the feature to figure out just how it functions.
That list includes some games which flopped simply because the target demographic was not aware of how great they really were:
Psychonauts
Grim Fandango
The Last Express
Duke Nukem Forever.. non-existant is not ok
Oh come on, various DNF memes have provided more entertainment than most of today's big name games!
Obviously they just wanna see how they measure up to other males. Doing that with regular porn ain't good for your self esteem.

don't own the iPad, you insensitive clod!
And I still allow them to be my friends.
Oops, forgot to mention NSFW banner ads.
Of course the internet has rules!. At least one of them is rather famous too.

It's Gods all the way up.

Wait a second, how does the company "see unbilled usage" if the power is "leaking out anyway"?
"The daily show, where more Americans get their news than probably should"
I wonder why they stopped having those mottoes...

At first I thought you were talking about Nazi Germany, and then I read "for the last twenty years". Scary.
Next time I'm assaulted and don't know how to get help, I'll try forcing lots of air through my tightened vocal chords. Who would think of that?
Yes, keep doing that, and maybe some good samaritan will help you in the middle of the night. Hey, worked for Kitty Genovese, right?
And for the record, the girl in TFA did scream.
