I would have changed him to chaotic neutral ( aka, selfish bastard ) - tend to assign alignments rather than ask - and you and i discussed other D&D versions before, where clerics earned their spells and you changed to a paladin as a sort of prestige class at level 9 - by earning it - (...

This sounds like EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. The "upgrade buildings" sounds a little video-gamish to me, but... A persistent campaign map? I've been crying for that for YEARS.

I would pay MONEY to see his rendition of the Claremont/Miller Wolverine limited series I had as a little, the one set in Japan - IMO, that was THE seminal Wolvie story, sorta like Dark Knight returns or Miller's run on DareDevil.

I said it once, but it bears repeatin'... ps ; kudos at ya, Electric Drek "The REAL short version is really simple - special forces develop their own FIGHTING styles -such as Krav Maga - but hardly limited to - because the traditional martial arts, as most people are taught them, are nearly...

I misread that, thought It said " of MY level". Like it or not, it's true. The very, very good ones are still very, very good - but at a disadvantage in a real fight, nonetheless - they certainly don't want to meet their combat counterparts. Not so long ago some instructor at a dojo...

I hear THAT. We can quibble about styles, but honor and discipline are something civilian society has forgotten. to no good reason.

I specifically said why, and will repeat, as it has EVERYTHING to do with what we are talking about: "And the track record of "sport" martial arts against people who really ARE violent, is so poor that even Penn & Teller made a joke about it. Want the link, again?" Most "modern" , I...

Immature? Krav Maga isn't new... call them what you want, I like combat styles - and maybe you should do a little research on WHY the eastern martial arts from tibet survived in which forms, and which sects, and WHY and HOW. You know, the ones that weren't wiped out. The Spartans had...

Quite relatedly, the US Army found that giving guns to people who weren't particularly violent produced a lot of wasted ammunition, and people 'pretending ' to fight. This was learned in WW2 in a study published later as 'men under fire'; it led to a complete restructure of how training for...

The REAL short version is really simple - special forces develop their own FIGHTING styles -such as Krav Maga - but hardly limited to - because the traditional martial arts, as most people are taught them, are nearly worthless in fighting. Ask an MP, or a Guardian Angel, or a prison guard...

So, I am wondering if there will be a song that doesn't say in so many words that playing games is a waste of one's life. Music, i suppose, is a worthy, artistic endeavor, and free of any such taint.

That's actually the exact meaning of the White Man's Burden, "This view proposes that white people consequently have an obligation to rule over, and encourage the cultural development of people from other ethnic and cultural backgrounds until they can take their place in the world by fully...

This was the match [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130527903] From a FB thread, by "burners" - that other spectrum of Geeks from the Escapists - arising from a discussion from a TED (ideas website ) posting. Kyre Badger...

we'll make great pets. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpkmtweNQ-U] ***hilarious *** thanks for starting my day with a smile *** This is our world... get the fuck out. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDv8hpj4ywc&feature=related]

Not that anyone cares, but I never finish games.. the last game I finished was Wizard's Crown, or maybe a Gold Box. I enjoy games, I enjoy them so much I move right on to the next. Different games are fun to me for often entirely different reasons. So I suppose I have no "right" to review...
