I think expectation played a major part of the problem. The previous Dragon Ages had a formula that worked, combat that was entertaining and an art style of its own. Going into DAI I had expected more of the same, so to have it so greatly different to the winning formula was a shock. I really...

There are enough medical stuff ups with circumcisions to make me never want to risk it. This site has quite a few examples: http://www.circumstitions.com/Law.html From badly done operations leaving the penis deformed, to an infection which led to brain damage to death, all for a surgery that...

I have two friends who have married girls they met online, and I'm now living with my long term girlfriend who I met online. It certainly can work, and at least online you can trim out the basic information (area, age, race, religion etc) and find someone with similar hobbies, likes and...

The ban of cellphones on planes is pretty stupid. No modern plane can be effected by the tiny signal from a phone, yet the fear that this ban has created resulted in some kid getting punched when he refused to turn his phone off (the attacker, a 52 year old, is facing assault charges but seems...

Why people in RPG's don't care when you steal all of their belongings right in front of them. Just playing Dragon Age 2, and your character is a friggin kleptomaniac. Walked into the tavern, wandered behind the bar and stole the jewerly in the box stored back there, no one even batted an eye...

Packing for my trip to the US, it'll be the first time I've seen my gf in 3 months and we get to tour California and Vegas for 2 weeks. Be a dull 12 hour flight from NZ to the US, but the main annoyance is that I have to wait till next weekend, I want to go now dammit!

When ever I browse user reviews I automatically ignore any that rate under 5 or a perfect 10 when those scores aren't even close to the professionals opinions. There are haters and there are fanboys, both groups need to be ignored. I just finished DA2 today and enjoyed the experience. I'd...

Full colour silver fern wrapped around shoulder.

The trick is to have a light at the end of the tunnel. If you know you will eventually be together then that gives you hope and something to look forward to. Whereas if you just live in different countries and neither person can or will move, then you are wasting your time. If its a long...

I disagree, my calculator has a game built in but I highly doubt anyone would think to call it a gaming device. Its purpose is not gaming, its primary function is calculations and that is how people will define it. I would again point out that computers are not a specific thing, its a whole...

I think you underestimate businesses growing into new markets. Sega especially were working on new consoles with the master system and megadrive both released in the years following the NES. Sure they didn't have the success of the NES, but who is to say if the NES didn't exist that the people...

How about the fact that the SNES, N64 and Gamecube all failed to match the sales of the original NES? Or that developers pulled support for the Gamecube due to poor sales? How about these Wiki quotes: "Because of the cost of Nintendo 64 cartridges, and limited third-party support, the Nintendo...

I'd think my description clarified the options? Pure scavenger vs Predator that would scavenge as well. I don't think anyone would support a pure predator only idea, anything will take a free meal if offered.

Debatable. NES wasn't the first console (Atari had theirs out 5-6 years earlier), so the idea wasn't new. Sure the console market took a dive, but gaming survived on PCs. If the NES didn't come out at all someone else would have taken the logical step of following in Atari's foot steps and...

Surely a "gaming device" is a device which is primarily designed for gaming? PC should not appear on this list as it is certainly not a gaming device. In fact PC's are not a single item, its a catagory. Everything from the old commodores, to the Mac, to the numerous MS Windows devices are...
