So basically the point of this thread was to eventually bring into question the law preventing people from legally carrying a firearm, but you covered that up by prefacing with a 'no politics' request. Because that was totally going to be possible.

Make enough for several meals and fridge/freeze it. Instant meals for the next few days. Also I think you're making this a bigger deal in your head than it needs to be. Even if you never make anything that requires you stand over it constantly tending to it (and I sure am lazy, so screw that)...

Illegal things like carjacking and shooting people, GTA V style?

Well the PC system requirements sure are scary even if the rest of the game isn't.

These are the same people who gave Atelier Totori Plus an 18+ classification. Their credibility is zero.

I think pertinent question is less "are gamers dead" and more "is gaming journalism dead"?

These Bioware 'discussions' always smell more of 'advertising' to me. I wouldn't mind, except I feel all the inclusivity isn't intended to benefit gay gamers. There again I've long since lost interest in Bioware's 'push buttons, receive awful sex scene' relationship model and I'm starting to...

I liked it a lot. It did remind me of Deus Ex, particularly in that the characters are pretty well-written and the wonky game mechanics are wonky, but dealable. The moment that stuck in my mind the most was when you get the opportunity to deal with sheik watsisname late in the game. I was...

Seikon no Qwaser. You want something based around fanservice, you got it.

My interpretation on the drop in violent crime in the USA: consider what demographic is most likely to commit violent crime. Give this a quick glance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade Then consider the dates involved.

The main problem with magic is that unless the prtoagonist's magical powers are a core element, it's inevitably constrained by the need to make it no more effective than a bow or sword. Screw balance, I want to be AWED.

I like this. It's an aspect of gameplay that I've been a lot more aware of ever since I started playing Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. You basically only need to take what you want from any loot you see in DCSS, because shops don't buy items. It's much better than the dungeon-hoovering that a lot of...

This isn't in any particular order, nor is it the most original list in the thread by a long chalk: 1. Deus Ex 2. Baldur's Gate 2 3. Front Mission 3 4. Suikoden 2 5. Parasite Eve 2 I did consider Mass Effect for giving me that sense of exploring alien worlds, and Space Rangers 2, which...

I'm not mad about it. I expect bullshit and piss-taking from businesses. I just didn't buy it. There are always other options, Blizzard, a couple of which are due to release soon, as it happens.

Still on Firefox and not seeing much of a reason to stop. I'm not afraid to switch, but I just don't see why I should. That, and I don't want to have anything to do with Google if I can avoid it.
