I'm desperate for some sort of multiplayer 'survival-horror-ish' game set on a spaceship. Sessions of say, 40 mins, everyone is secretly allocated objectives and a role at the start of the game. The majority receive variations on 'crew member' (e.g. ships doctor, navigations, engineer) and...

I've been following this beta for a while now, and it's always positive to see the progress Stardock have been making. They have an hour+ weekly stream where they show unreleased builds and how they've been doing, and have kept to their development 'road-map'. The transparency is great, I only...

A real loss to the world, and far too soon. The man had been struggling with depressive symptoms and substance addiction for years, but managed to continue as a real joy to watch perform. I have enormous sympathy for his family, particularly his three children. Despite the comments above, I...

The issue with your first point is that with Google searches etc details like this don't easily disappear - for example any future employer can simply search their name and be presented with these media articles on the accused. Worse yet, the media in future might pick up on their release from...

It's an important consideration in the justice system actually, once everyone has finished handwaving about how terrible everything is. Particularly in relation to children (who are seen as more capable of reintegration), name suppression is there to support the accused's (note: not yet found...

What I was advocating is intervention to prevent the fight, rather than 'jumping in' and trying to inflict further harm. However, if you're finished with the argument I won't pursue the point.

No, I disagree. Another person involved in the fight, for the purpose of defence of another, is protected by the law of Necessity. Of course that changes if the purpose of their involvement is to deliberately inflict harm etc, but that is not the sort of involvement I am arguing should have...

I have difficulty understanding the moral viewpoint you are coming from. Why is a record of the event more important than intervening to prevent physical harm to another? Why is adding a third person to the 'fight' to be avoided when it is for the purpose of preventing further conflict...

While the expletive might be over the top, surely you'd agree that assisting to end the fight and providing testimony to police afterwards is the better thing to do; rather than record the violence and upload it to the internet? The bystander effect can be really quite nasty man, we shouldn't...

You've cited a range of games doing early access in different ways as becoming 'standard practice', making you sound like you're completely against the idea regardless of whether or not it's done in a useful and valid way. Galciv 3's 'double price early access' in fact consists of a copy of...

I'm afraid 'common sense' tends to be more about societal norms and upbringing than anything else (e.g. is it common sense that marriage must be between a man and a woman? Depends where you live and who you associate with). Tacking that onto an assertion doesn't really add much to your argument...

I still play, had the same problem. The way me and my friends (some of whom have the pack, some of whom don't) have got round this is by using a save-game editor to drop our experience points to 0 while leaving our level at 50. This essentially prevents you levelling up (technically its making...

Hmm, I don't think you looked at either the film or my post very closely my friend. Let me try and explain my point of view on some of these issues for you. Why would David infect Holloway? Because Holloway has treated David like trash for the entire film for apparently no reason, and David...

Yeah if you look at my first post that's the one point I really have to concede every time. Instead of an explanation there I have an excuse: horror movie format has a mandatory requirement that the first two to die have to be complete morons. And dear lord, did these two satisfy that requirement.

I really enjoyed the film, and haven't had the issues with plot holes that every single other person on the internet seems to think ruined the movie (except the 'lets touch the beautiful worm' scene, yeah I can't explain that one). Maybe I'm just better at using 'headcanon' to con myself into...
