I think many gamers in your consensus were emotionally invested in seeing this game be a piece of crap from the minute it was announced. I reject their objectivity. I am certainly not implying that this or any other game be above criticism. I just don't see how people can claim it is more or...

Well, for starters, there is no technological progress anymore. It's now known as "raping Gaia".

Awesome use of spoiler tags. :roll:

She must have done something right. My wife and all her friends are obsessed with the books and movie. I'm not going to bust on it, if people like it and it makes you money, mission accomplished if you ask me. Good for Meyer.

Dark Horse Conan was usually pretty weak, though there were some good moments. The Greg Ruth illustrated issues were great, I thought. But generally Busiek is a very unexciting writer. Marvel Conan is a lot of fun, but I'm a John Buscema junkie. I recommend the "Savage Sword" reprints Dark...

Congrats everyone, it was a fun season despite my meltdown. I did better than I had a right to anyway.

If I see someone making stupid comments, I'll let them know

I thought that you could make fun of the haters in a "positive impressions" thread!

It might. My opinion carries a lot of weight, you know.

Ignore all this hoo-haw and just play it, if you haven't.

:lol: Thanks for diagnosing my problem. I've played a lot of games over the years. I think I have a suitable frame of reference.

Wow, great OP, but talk about a quick descent into supreme geek snobbery. I do agree, many games are more like "interactive movies" than games. Sometimes I'm happy with the trade-off. The player has to lose some freedom so that the narrative can play out. Some of my favorite games are like...

Got FO3 as a gift, very fun so far. As a fan of the originals I have to say that the FO3 hate is retarded, quite frankly.

I think the US policy is that if Taiwan declares independence, they won't get military support. But who knows what would happen. Against Taiwan alone they would eventually win but it would be very nasty fight. A lot of Taiwan is mountains and jungle, and they have millions of trained reservists...

Ugh. Weak finish. In my 4 leages, I lost every matchup of the last 2 weeks. Talk about choking!

At least you can still point out that you had the points lead. ;) I'd give you my spot if I could, I just wanted to make a respectable showing, not win anything for Sander! :P

So, now that Welsh put as all on the same page, can I quit this thread without being accused of "admitting defeat"? :crazy:

Wouldn't this problem indicate a corrupt police force? I'll be the first to admit that the wealthy should not be able to use coercion against anyone. If you know of a way to keep this from ever happening, I'd like to hear it. Lobbying groups are the people. They are representative just...

:clap: As if. You surely won't concede that wealth disparity doesn't matter in and of itself, and I surely won't concede that it does. We could trade history lessons and interpretations thereof ad nauseum, but what's the point? It is, in the end, arguing on the internet. Besides, you've...

I'm not speaking only of economics. That is only a part of it. America carved out a very large role in world affairs when Wilson tossed our boys into the European hellhole, a role that led to a massive, all powerful government not fully realized until after the second World War. It might be more...
