How revealing. So having to choose between meds and ammo, gold and guns, is too much of a bother? Thanks for making your intended audience clear once more.

It's a mystary!

Hah. The imps in the original DK should be on the top indeed. I remember slapping them raw to send them in overdrive. They worked best when they were brutally beaten to the point of nigh-death.

That was pretty much the first thing that came to my mind as well.

Re: Owning That's exactly why I hate the concept of intellectual property. Just because you buy the rights off a dying man doesn't mean there's any REAL relation between your ideas and his. If you only want the rights to re-invent what you just bought the rights to, you shouldn't own the...

The synopsis sounds like that Twilight episode. Slaver human is mutated into slave alien and learns to embrace diversity.

Yes, but that's like saying Fallout 3 is based on Fallout. Sure, it's a similar setting, but what does it tell you about the genre?

IIRC there was a study that actually DID show a correlation between playing video games and increased aggression. The same study showed identical correlations for sports and other popular means of "venting steam". What's funny is that the German gov't is actually considering a(nother) ban...

It's a simple probabilistic assumption. Guy who worked on VB works on NV. Coming up with lore takes effort. Reduced effort is preferable. VB already has lore. NV needs lore. Ergo they're likely to recycle ideas from VB for NV. The reason this didn't work for F3 is that Beth didn't...

I hear the swine flu has shown an even LOWER mortality rate than the common flu, world-wide. Not to mention that the initial infection rate was completely overblown by hysteria and most of it seemed to have been panicky idiots suffering from colds. H1N1 would have had the potential for a real...

Sounds like an interesting premise. I have no idea what genre they're aiming for. Hopefully not another Cloverfield.

Chatbots are not intelligent. They're specialised expert systems. Seriously. Being able to reason based on conversational logic isn't the same as being able to act upon that reasoning. It's just the first step of intelligent pattern recognition in the semantic field. It's not a Skynet...

Promi = celebrity Just in case of any non-German readers wondering wtf he meant.

Sorry for having abandoned this topic earlier on. Had to work and study in the meantime. I think what this entire discussion boils down to is: how do artists (and I use that term VERY loosely) get paid for their work without copyright laws to inhibit freedom of information. I think there...

In my not-so humble opinion, it's the IP law that's the problem, not TPB. File sharing is NORMAL. It's human. It's the definition of culture. We share ideas all the time -- we actually had to invent the idea of intellectual property because there was no such concept for most of human history...

The laser cannons are a bit over the top, dontcha think? You tell it like it is, mang!

If armour would be damaged in combat, the armour you can loot from corpses would be in various states of disrepair, depending on what kind of damage they took -- much like blowing people up works now. There'd have to be a careful balance to avoid the hassle of having to repair your armour every...

The US is a religious cess pool and its abominations are now spilling over to Europe. But that's just my 2 cents on the issue at hand. You won't understand religious fundamentalism if you think of religion as something special and unique. It's a system of logic that favours blind faith...

Go and download Steal This Film pt. I and II right now. It's not censorship, it's money. The recording industry will be going down. And it's doing everything in its power to prevent that from happening.

A live action film remake makes sense, considering how hard Half-Life 2 tried to be a film rather than a game. Although Half-Life was already heading in that direction from the get-go HL2 took it to a new level. When it wasn't acting as a tech demo for its physics engine, that is.
