When I first read through the entire Old Testament, I laughed to myself how males were referred to in the KJV. 1 Samuel 25:34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been...

Sure, I'd be for that as long as the State-issued ID is free, hack-resistant, and available (without excessive hassle) for people who are elderly, disabled, deployed, homeless, etc. But no one responded to my suggestion of getting all non-personal money out of politics. What say you?

So ... let us reverse the Citizen United ruling. Have it so only biological people have the full 1st ammendment protections (not corporations or unions). Make dark money illegal (you want to donate to a political cause - then you must attach your name). Make coordinating astroturfing activities...

I know you've heard of Rovers on Mars, but this is ridiculous.

I now that most people have been mentioning the PC side of retrogaming, but if you are interested in NES gaming there will probably be a surge of homebrews in the next year because NESmaker was released. Its unofficial, but since all of the patents have expired its completely legit (as long as...

I worry that reboot/sequel overload prevents more original ideas from ever getting made, but the truth is that most things are a spiritual successor, an alternate take on something, or a mash-up of different things. And this goes back for centuries (and millennia). When companies make good...

I once heard an author speak about the writing process. He said to just start writing something and then you can fix it in the revision process. I would probably say make some bullet points or an outline before you start doing sentences, but most people get stuck on the sentences (and no one...

I would second that making it rules-lite during gameplay time is a highly valued quality for most PnP RPGs (excepting the ones aimed at accountants). You can make the skill + weapon calculation a bit more complicated - assuming character aren't increasing their skill levels and changing their...

A single human with stone age technology is a pretty terrible big game hunter. It is speculated (I think with some archaeological evidence) that when humans were hunting mammoths they mostly tried to isolate a straggler from the herd and then drive it off of a cliff (at night) using spears and...

These locations would have been appreciated. I also wonder if inXile could have remade WL1 with their WL2 engine. They have all the rights for it now, right? It is for sale from them on Steam. They have the base for most of the locations / character models in WL2. I know some people want to...

I did a FO2 playthrough with a dark vigilante theme. Tagged Unarmed, Throwing, and Sneak. Choose the Dodger perk among others. The main problem with this theme is the lack of a good batarang type throwing weapon. The other problem is that in FO2 dodging is not a perfect solution to enemy...

Brother Vinni's ones look good enough, but I don't know why they would risk getting sued into oblivion, when they could just use the same type of raider minis and make their own take on power armor and robots so they wouldn't have any legal risk. I just read about this old news on a different...

Throwing grenades is fun, but it has the same downside as shotguns, often the enemies are not as clustered together as you would like them to be. Perhaps for a few lower level encounters (because dynamite and pipe bombs do such small damage). I think the range is based on the Strength attribute...

I'm not saying it isn't ridiculous, but there are official novels set in the Doom Universe, Doom RPGs for mobile phones (for pre-iPhone and iPhone - sorry no Android), and a fan-made Doom text adventure game.

I didn't call them nazis, I called them neo-nazis. Sure most neo-nazis don't advocate for secret police or concentration camps, but they take enough of the nazi philosophy and adapt it, hence the name neo-nazis. When I look at the Golden Dawn website at the top of the thread I see banners that...

I will take well-choreographed slow-motion action scenes over shaky-cam or rapid cuts any day.

I clicked on the link. So the Golden Dawn are national socialists (aka neo-nazis). To me it just seems to be a bunch of fear-mongering to justify their racist beliefs. Statistically speaking, if you are worried about the declining native-European populations, then I think you need to look at...

To summarize the problems with paid-mods as implemented by Bethesda: 1. Sucking the fun and art out of modding. 2. Lack of competent QA process to assure no stolen / misattributed assets. 3. Tiny mods (individual weapons / creatures) instead of overhauls, locations, and quest mods. 4. Excuse...

I like them enough to keep them in FO2. I agree with you 100%. However, just so you know, you are giving a definitive reason for Ridley Scott's Prometheus to not exist.

Probably not, I mean we can't even get giant snakes to eat people in real life. :yuck:
