    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    When you adopt the attitude that you're not an insane and it must be the rest of the world that's insane, it's time for a check up from the neck up.

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    The number of years you've been doing something doesn't mean you're proficient at it. If that were true mediocrity wouldn't exist in any area of expertise. At least he's consistent. He does the same thing here. Seems perfectly clear to me that she understands what facts are. Everything she...

    Can't Decide between Stormcloaks or Imperials...

    Uh that's the book quoting something one of the Forsworn said. It speaks to nothing regarding what the author may or may not think of the Empire. He does use an academic approach by assuming that previous writings from the Empire about the Forsworn are victor's essays even if he discovers on his...

    Can't Decide between Stormcloaks or Imperials...

    The United States maintains an (unsustainable) huge military to enforce its international policies and impose its will on the rest of the world, not to defend its borders. If all it cared about was defending its borders it could easily reduce its military by half and actually live within its...

    Can't Decide between Stormcloaks or Imperials...

    It isn't the first human city on the continent. Saarthal easily predated it as the first human city in Skyrim as it was established by the Atmoran Nords during the Merethic Era.

    Once, just once, let's have a rational discussion about incest.

    And...? You implied that it's not all about genetics and congenital birth defects and I pointed out that the law doesn't reflect that. Whether it's a legitimate concern or not doesn't change the fact that it is the only concern.

    Once, just once, let's have a rational discussion about incest.

    There's nothing pretend about it. It's a matter of undeniable fact that the stated purpose of crimes against incest in either the legislative notes or the statutes themselves is because of the increased risk of congenital birth defects, which is why the same statutes don't criminalize forms of...

    Anyone seen the new HBO show "Vikings"?

    I agree on both points. I was going to stop watching after the first two episodes because it seemed rather slow but things have picked up pace quite a bit now and not just in terms of action but the development of characters and relationships. I was rather suprised that they killed off Eric so...

    What's with all this "the Bully" crap????

    I don't think it has anything to do with the ability to ignore anyone as much as it has to do with the need to express their inner passive-aggressive attention whore.

    What is going to happen to us console players when Online comes out?

    Geek Squad "technicians" are completely clueless. There's no real technical experience required for the PC techs and the training is piss poor. If you're lucky enough to get someone who is technically proficient it's because they had training from elsewhere. Not only that, they've basically...

    Which one is the real Saadia?

    The one in back is Saadia. I can smell Dovah on the one in front.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - attributed to Edmund Burke "In Germany, they first came for the gypsies, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a gypsy. Then they came for the Bolsheviks, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Bolshevik. Then they...

    Spoiler The Dark Brotherhood is pathetic

    No. Read what the OP said again. You may not know this but Brynjolf isn't marked essential in the beginning of the Thieves Guild questline. He's simply invulnerable to any kind of harm while he's in Riften so toggling his essential value does nothing. The only way he could have killed him...

    How am I supposed to level without getting massacred?

    I honestly don't see what the big deal is with understanding or getting armor rating for maximum protection. It's really easy to get with just 100 Smithing, 100 Armor skill and the corresponding Smithing Perk for the armor material and the armor rating bonus perks for either Armor skill. You...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Windhelm has open worship of Talos (the Temple of Talos). That's a step up from crazy Heimskr screaming next to a tiny Shrine of Talos. It's Ulfric's official f***f you to the White-Gold Concordat. What I always found puzzling is that the second most conspicuous place of worship for Talos is...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    It's not a "dislike" comment, it's a "disagree" comment. I don't use it even if I disagree with something in a post unless I disagree with the entire content of the post which is true of both the posts by you that I marked. It's not a negative rating either, it's a neutral rating. If you look...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    The British occupying Scotland is nothing like the Skyrim being part of the Empire. Skyrim joined the Empire because the Nords were impressed by its Emperor Tiber Septim. That was centuries ago. The citizens of Skyrimg are citizens of the Empire, something which the Nords have enjoyed and...
