    Let's Play Twilight Imperium 1: New Orders Rise To Power

    i think mecatol rex is most important for its influence and less for its resources as it is the political capitol of this particular galaxy. but yea you get to claim objectives, which are worth victory points at the end of each round. you start with a secret objective for you alone, but while...

    Star Trek's Prime Directive and the Fermi Paradox

    medv4380, what are the variables in the graph you posted? im trying to make sense of it and i suppose it should show me how we've had regular mass-extinction events, but without knowing what is what it doesnt tell me much. or if you have a link to a source i would like to read about it.

    I need some board game suggestions.

    i have to recommend descent first, from the games i know this one seems to meet all your criteria, its a dungeon crawler in a dnd-like fantasy setting in which you cooporate against a single dm (also a player). you gain items and level up (i think, not sure about an xp system, it was long ago)...

    Game of Thrones Episode 9...

    so how manty lives were spared with joffrey holding the throne? i mean in war yea, soldiers got spared, but do you think joffrey's/ lannister's reign will be preferential over a war and a stark reign? the series will have to show i suppose.

    Game of Thrones - I give up

    pretty much all characters get to suffer and most are well rounded enough to be more than just good or bad guys. what i liked about robb for example is how he was honorable to a fault, like ned was. jaime starts the show by shoving a kid out of a window, but evolves to the guy that risks his own...

    Is ganking girl gamers a bad thing?

    simply, ganking girl gamers is not a bad thing, but what this guy does is just depressing. not only does he specifically target woman and actively tries to ruin their fun in the game, he reasons its ok because the girl in question was an attention whore. he completely contradicts this with...

    YOUR opinion about good games for my master thesis

    me too, especially considering ive installed more f2p games in the meantime. it also kinda annoys me its only about purchases and not about f2p at all. the whole f2p model is where games are going in my opinion.

    Game of thrones: why is it so WRONG.?

    towards the end of the last book (5th that is) i felt like martin didnt really know what he's doing anymore. im convinced the story wont end with the 7th book because martin just keeps adding characters and sub-plots without working towards anything in particular. i offcourse might be wrong, but...

    How to survive a zombie apocalypse!

    find a farm with a fence and running water and build zombie-traps, kinda like minecraft. i'd slowly work towards building a compound consisting of many, individually fenced area's so in case of an outbreak you can retreat to the next area or even shut off one part so it wont spread to the...

    Brushes with Death

    eehm.. let's see, almost drowned when my canoe got stuck in a small waterfall (it kept filling up with the water which made it turn 360degrees and do the same again) and i was stuck underneath it. a large pole, the highest point of a 6-sided tent dropped down on my head becuse some fool was...

    At some level, you must understand that this is wrong.

    in a thread about gun control in america on these forums i read a post in which someone stated: 'allowing guns in a society can only be beneficial because then everybody has a gun and the bad guys wont do the bad things because they know the people they are doing it to can kill them.' (this...
