Maybe someone (OP or other saying pro-vigilante) should actually cite some real world examples of this working or being needed. Yes, there is Batman, Punisher, etc. but the only time I can really think of vigilante being 'good' or necessary is 'wild wild west' type scenarios (if it ever...

There are books for everyone. Trash literature, guilty pleasure lit, just random killing time lit, romance novels, sci-fi, fantasy, detective, etc. etc. Read what you enjoy. People should just takes things as they are. You don't read Crime and Punishment or H.P. Lovecraft as a romance...

I believe others have pointed this out. But the above definition is more accurate since it is a MAJOR misconception that people have in thinking that: If being a fast predator makes you a better predator then given millions of years, they will continually get faster and faster. I.e. lions...

I'm sorry, but I just can't take this article seriously. The poster who made his music-comparison was a much more interesting read and point of view and one of my personal views is that you can't 'generalize' something by philosophy, etc. if it doesn't actually describe what is going on...

My favorite part of AC was that depending on the faction you choose, there 'could' be completely different styles of play. Play the pirates, colonize the oceans and control the seas. Play environment, psi-worms taming, building and ownage. Morgan and Yang were the 'broken'...

I don't really see what your problem is. The point of an ad is to generate want/desire/need for something even if you don't need it. Actually, especially if consumers don't need it. Don't need a new car every year, don't need to see movies in 3D, don't need alot of things. Companies...

I'm sorry, but what you are talking about OP is, to be frank, quite inane and silly. If you had any mathematical training (major, masters or Ph.D. in math, heck even a upper division math course on number theory, or any science background), then you wouldn't even do this. All i can...

Really? I only watched the episode once so i'm not 100% sure but there were 4 council members right? I don't really see 'all' of them being 'in' on a plan to destroy the city that they themselves are council members of. I mean, 1 or 2... yeah, sure, revenge/rise from the ashes, power, etc. but...

wow. i don't know if i fully get what is going on, but the interaction is quite hilarious. from the 'oops, we unleashed an undead army on the world' to 'would you rather deal with crazy assassin or disbelieving political council?'. good stuff. -- I did like how she asked if they could...

I still don't understand how you can say pirating =! stealing. it is like 'borrowing forever and never returning nor paying for it'. It is stealing. Just because it is 'intangible' as opposed to a physical product does not make it NOT theft. I'd like you to prove the converse of...

I didn't say that only the main character should talk. I just gave an example of a case where the main character does talk in FPS-mode and it is non-story-line related. Not that Duke Nukem had the greatest story ever, but comments serve to 'flesh' out the world and develop the character...

Duke nukem had no cutscenes (that i remember) yet he made ALOT of comments. I wish that there would be some amount of that. Not the 'repeat every few minutes drive the player insane' type but like... when you reach or see a specific event for the first time, the character comments or says...

In this internet era, you can either get a walkthrough (to finish the game) or watch a youtube playthrough and just watch the 'entire' game (or what remains). There is literally no 'punishment' now if you dont finish a game since you can easily youtube credits, movies, endings, etc. So if...

The original post says nothing regarding whether I am a good guy or a bad guy... so... I'd pick any evil class and actively screw around with the remaining survivors. Necromancer/mage pretending to help out, and then add my 'allies' to my undead army. C
