    Todd Howard at DICE

    Here's a Gamasutra story covering Todd's address at the '09 DICE. Displaying the same insight and depth found in our near and dear Fallout 3, he opines "Great games are played, not made" and, shock, quality is proportional to development time. Perhaps explaining his palpable weakness, he...

    Obamas Executive Pay Caps

    You don't understand how the constitution is intended to work and you aren't making a counter argument. You are simply restating an unsupported claim and saying it's "obvious". Obviously not. "Regulate the value thereof" is not weakened by it's context and could arguabely be used to...

    Obamas Executive Pay Caps

    Maybe, instead of making vague assertions of constitutionality, you should offer an objective and rational reason why any human is worth more than $500k a year.

    Obamas Executive Pay Caps

    It'll be interesting to see what comes out without enough hush money going around. Logistic - the taxes the states are "losing" is federal money given to the company, why not cut out the ~70% going to the asshole executive and just give it directly to the state? Which is what's going to...

    Obamas Executive Pay Caps

    Executives may quit banks that fall under the new $500,000 pay limits, he warned. "I don't think the issue is a dollar amount. It's being paid what you're worth… Would you be willing to work for less than what you think you're worth?" Talbott asked. Quick informal poll: Anyone here NOT...

    So what difference do you all think he will make?

    Uncanny Wishfull Thinking Regarding what people are talking about: Independence is not a normal human ambition, but one acquired through persecution; it is unteachable. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." Regarding the topic of this thread: The economy will not...

    How to make a smoking pipe?

    Chemistry Don't smoke out of plastic. Don't smoke out of foil. You can make a pipe out of wood, but make sure it isn't treated with chemicals. Glass is really the safest because everything else is going to release at least some amount of chemicals when heated to the temperature of a butane...

    Tranquility Lane Solution *Spoilerz*

    Just curious how many solved the Tranquility Lane audio puzzle. After I talked to everyone in the town once and figured out what was up, I just explored, found the abandoned house and then noticed the audio cues and figured it out by trial and error. Is this the intended solution? Is there...

    Why do so many people here think First Person excludes RPG?

    Role Playing Games are problematic by nature. From my experience, with both PnP and CRPGs, the player wants the skill and abilities of his character while ignoring the limitations. In PnP you get players arguing with the DM, what can be done in one action, what your character "should" be able to...
