I think a forum nuke would be a good idea. Create an archival dump of the old forum threads/posts that users can look at if they need to, but otherwise have a clean slate for the site culture. Also think that people underestimate the appeal of good written content, so long as it's insightful...

Having played this mod, I do know that is's very well written and has a plausible premise. It's actually one of the best written NV mods I've played; it managed to put in place a lot of choices and consequences, a huge amount of skill and perk checks, and it also rewards players for exploring...

Moreso that the film had a blatant agenda and was pushing it very hard, along with the bad soundtrack, characters, bland cinematography, and awful dialogue. The film offended me mostly because it is trying hard to pontificate whilst being a very generic, phoned-in, lowest common denominator...

I won't say much more. Just a response to: I was referring less to the current crisis than the trend in the EU since the Schengen Area was established, which has resulted in a large increase in migration into western European countries over the past 20 years. Cynically, it could be said that...

I am resentful of the encroachment of this line of thinking. It strikes me as a deliberate attempt to make the cast more diverse in order to "empower" viewers to think that anyone can work at NASA. It may be a benign message, but I resent subtle propaganda like this being used to convey it. In...

Pathologising a judgement by claiming it was made in a fit of rage is disingenuous. Attempts to appear magnanimous by claiming that one is even-headed and wants reconciliation and good feeling and the other party is not are transparent and also incredibly condescending. On the actual...

I am in great disagreement with the review. The jokes constantly fell flat and were grating at best, their casting choices and disingenuous attempts to foster diversity really annoyed me, none of the characters felt particularly interesting or engaging, and the soundtrack was completely...

Hits the nail on the head. The space stage of Spore really had the most potential, and I like going back to that still. There's something really satisfying about planting colonies, terraforming worlds, exploring new systems, and trading spice; too bad the combat sucked complete ass and a lot...

I'm writing a KotOR retrospective, and I was just comparing the old romance elements to the shit we see in modern BioWare games with disparate character relationship subplots. You hit the nail on the head.

The following post comes from someone who's met and spoke to Ryan a fair few times in real life, as a member of the university's space and astronomy society (which he's the president of). Ryan's a solid guy, and I have no doubt that he sincerely believes that this project is viable and valid...

The Deep Roads had loads of optional parts. The Dead Trenches, Ortan Thaig, and all the other parts had optional areas to explore and a lot of lore to see. There were sidequests to get ahold of Legion of the Dead armour and all that stuff. And the atmosphere of descending deeper and deeper into...

You realise they were basically massive dungeon-crawls, right? Bioware was basically revisiting classic RPGs in those and giving players dungeons to navigate to get to their goal.

I actually never saw an episode featuring those three characters before; what I've seen and read kept me away from watching all but the final three Matt Smith episodes/specials. So those characters were unfamiliar to me. I still found them annoying. I think that this episode could have...

I thought they were very obnoxious, if nothing else. They're a bit annoying and detracted from the arc of this episode. And the entire lesbianism thing between Vastra and the maid felt forced.

Let's imagine that the Washington post is a close-knit community where everyone knows each other and have an atmosphere of great trust; they collaborate a lot and work together, and respect each other's professional opinions and are friends outside of work. They cover the party conventions...
