I was grumpy about the Talisman single player costing money as an intro to something else, but this, THIS makes me happier and I will be pleased to pay some money for it. Ah, the memories of trying to find more serious Choose Your Own adventure stories as a child. Not so easy for the feisty girl back then, but now,…

Spot on! When we trail with rapier and buckler or sword and buckler, our little shield is not just to block and parry, but we punch with it, too. Also you can slam, hook, and more. This is why we have our nice fencing masks. thus, excellent point about shields being weapons. heck, in a fight, everything counts.

This would be a fabulous creation if I were, oh, an Olympic swimmer who needed five to six thousand calories a day. Sadly, I am a bad swimmer so very thin crust pizza for me.

I am one of those who cares less about games now than I did when I was young and I grew up in the first era of video games. I have a vague memory of being maybe a tiny bit taller than a tabletop style Pac Man game sitting in some pizza joint And being fascinated by the colours of the ghosts and the chirping and wakka…

No one has ever called me a Narc before, so it went right over my head! Woooosh! seriously, I'm not one. If I was, I wouldn't have gotten that speeding ticket! Ha!

I'm not part of a law enforcement agency. I Am not here to turn in anyone for anything. my philosophy is different from yours. That's all there is to it!

People say cops are mean and have no sense of humour. Proof to the contrary! Besides, the police are very nice if you're not doing anything wrong. The only time a police constable was mean to me was because I was speeding. One ticket ever. Beyond that, they are nice to me!

Other people ruin games. I like knowing other people are there for a bit of chatting, that they exist in my world, that I can ask or give advice, but for the actual game, keep them away!

Well, per the English etymology, my name would be "Symbol of Victory at the place by the forest." Which is kind of cool I suppose. so if Lauren Shaw would be something weird in Japanese, maybe using the etymological bits from English could make it seem more exciting. I wonder what victory forest would be in…

character design versus reality. An interesting battle. Characters have to be iconic, have to stand out, and they have to sell. I get why the game designers do what they do. It has nothing to do with being practical. Should it be based on some level of reality? Sure. will it be? Probably not. will I play those games?…

This is what I am hoping for. All of the things done with echo casts and these vids and the writing for the games, it can become a lot of fun. Crossing my fingers and eyes that it turns out great.

Well, if they had an effective way to animate, I could see a show at the same level as Archer, so some thirteen episode seasons, and make it totally zany and a bit over the line, and certainly have all of the humour of the Borderlands games.

I don't know, reason or years of knowing there's a folder of electrical injury pictures on my computer at work that I have to go into when building Powerpoints for adults. One of those things. And never doubt the power of words, friend. Words are wonderful. :)

That's Captain Buzzkill. No family Guy references, Simpsons ones are better. Besides, it's all fun and zany and good times until someone falls over and you're frantically chatting with the emergency dispatcher and then trying to explain to the police why it's not manslaughter.

Well, that might be how it works if we create the sentience of these machines in, dare we say, our own image. If they share some of the ways we see he world, then yes. What you say will work. But, being machines, if they view the world from a truly new perspective, there is no telling how they will react.

Well, the stories are to scare us, but we see the machines as evil in the stories because they kill us. Bt look at us, as a species.we destroy as we cate, we pollute, we over populate...logically the machine would conclude that we are the villains and the planet should be protected from our meddling. If anything, the…

Used to work? Darn. I would love to know what type of battery packs they use. Power sources are fickle things and it is nice to know they are getting better. Consider it a professional interest.

Well, I have to do my job I suppose. Electricity is not a toy, and please do not try this. I a few days I am sure that every school visit, and a few contractors visits as well, will have me explaining this and ten year olds (and those adults who like to be ten when it comes to doing things) will try to build them.

The suit of armour could act as a Faraday cow ad the knight would have frizzy hair. And with Velops mentioning the padded gambeson, or, linen coat that goes underneath, well, it might tickle the knight, and then you get hacked.
