    How did you end OWB?

    Spared Mobius and the think tank. I liked Mobius somewhat and thought you could reach some more when debating with the others, but well.... The whole choices and endings were let downs for me.

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    I honestly don't even get the difference between their so called 'Radiant Story' and 'Radiant AI' - i mean the examples they give sound quite a bit like what thy told about their Radiant AI, before we saw it in motion. I mean the base line for R-AI was something like: "The NPC's will now react...

    Bethesda vs Interplay hijinks continue

    I wonder how the 'Question' was in this case ?

    Dead Money, Design Breakdowns

    It really comes down to keep the player guessing if a threat is real or not. As soon as you don't have to guess the scare-factor seems to go down. So i would say it's not just about games who forget to have real thread but also ones who forget to have phases of relaxation. But that's just my...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    Nope. I claim people who are more sensitive in case of guns might react a bit differen under stress. This has nothing to do with some really thought-through decision or planning - it's emotions. Also i try not to apply my morality as an universal morality everyone should adhere too. Doesn't...

    The oil shortage in the back story

    I haven't read too much about it and i'm more than far from knowing much about it, but i still think this might not be too bad, if we don't need these gases as much as oil (and have bigger deposits or be even able to produce them in some amounts like methane). Especially because oil, as said has...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    @Hassknecht Well one could argue how easy it was for some time after the medieval times to still have some weapons (bows, axes and such were still quite able to get, as they are also at the moment) but that would be somewhat beside the point. For the 'left-right' discussion, these are just...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    Well when taking a look at some german 'autobahn' you can sometimes get another feeling ;) I meant more in the sense of strengthening the laws and lowering the allowed speed. Because they recognized this 'might' be a factor for deaths in traffic.

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    You got a source for these numbers DammitBoy? Because the numbers i found showed something else (it's more likely that the numbers i found didn't include all things, so i would really appreciate a a source to be able to see for myself.). That said, as far as i get it from the other thread...

    The oil shortage in the back story

    As far as for the german wiki it says that South-Africas fuel consumption is supported to 33% by this. You've also got Oil sand, from which you can get oil. Funnily (one had to ask if Interplay had this in mind) Canada has quite a lot of these. Other than that i recently saw some...

    Rate the avatar above yours.

    7/10 looks quite nice. It reminds me of something, but i can't really put my finger onto it. Maybe 'Edna bricht aus' but well ...

    FIFA Football

    Strangely i never got really into football even though i come directly out of the 'Ruhrpott' the area in which Bochum, Gelsenkrichen(Schalke) and Dortmund is located, so a quite football heavy area. Than again i've to shake my head about how Schalke is doing at the moment... But well maybe...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    What's your problem? That i say even though something is reviewed we've still to be critical of it and review it ourselfs if we're able to it? And that we can't trust results from a paper just because it was reviewed? And sorry, but peer-review as i use it and know it, is just the process of...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    Yeah sorry, but your wrong in that i don't know anything about science. But hey - nice rant. Than again you might check how many articles/studies were proven to be false/wrong in the last year or how many studies exactly tried to look into problem about peer-reviews. Because all i said was that...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Sounds indeed awesome. I didn't mean to differentiate between citiziens, but that's they way these shows are. I meant exactly shows where they don't only seel firearms but also things like tanks and such. It was interesting because of two reasons for me. Firstly because i'm somewhat...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    Just a short bit about 'peer-viewed' and reliablity: They're only more reliable if the 'reviewer' is reliable. So if you've got as author some 'G.W. Bush.' and as 'reviewer' some 'R. B. Cheney' i wouldn't say it's much more reliable than a study that wasn't reviewed. And actually some...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Because the guys who normaly rob people are enabled to simply pickpocket the guys who got boners for weapons, and therefore don't need to become aggressive? I'd really love to visit at least once some european 'weapon show' (you know with all weapon systems and ony for professionals). The few...

    Beards!

    The real problem with such statistics is, that they're pretty much insubstantial. It's hardly possible to judge a beard without the face 'behind' it. So when you ask people if they like facial hair they'll think of how such a thing might look, taking pictures from their memory and imagine a...

    Beards!

    Most of the time i go for some sort of sideburns. Fits somewhat my face i'd say. Not to forget that i couldn't grow a good goatee or moustache.
