The problem with the nemesis system is that the player’s character eventually becomes overpowered. By about 2/3 of the way in very few of the “rivals” pose any significant threat. By the end of it they’re all nothing more then regular grunts who you have to kill with a certain ind of attack.

It’s an inbetween. Although there’s a lot of highly visible exceptions, the most successful people are generally very strong givers (although not necessarily of money, sometimes of labor and assistance). That said you do need to know how to be an asshole so that you can deal with people who are either actively out to…

It’s not a clear division. Asperger’s can enhance being an asshole or make one predisposed to asshole-ism due to the reduced capacity for empathy that is typical with people who have it. It makes them a lot less likely to feel discomfort for actions that are disastrous to other people’s livelihoods.

It’s not entirely “charity” though. A lot of his cash goes into enterprises that are less “charity” than they are eugenics and social engineering.

More than that though. Most “comp” teams are close enough in skill that the advantages to one side caused by a map imbalance become greatly amplified.

Yes, those annoying 12 year olds you find in online shooters. Usually they’re whining obscenities about how you’re “cheating’ or calling you a faggot.

Stupid move. Halo’s local play was something that those of us in suits refer to as a “core competency” for the company: meaning a unique strengh that a company has that gives them a competitive advantage over the competition. Split screen was one of the reasons the game became popular and one of the reasons it still…

Not to mention roommates/couples who only have one console and/or TV.

Franchise is in an interesting place. They are always SO close to being awesome but are held back by easy to fix, grating mistakes that ruin the whole experience. I honestly believe that the best thing that could happen to Sonic is if they sell the IP to another developer who won’t make these same careless mistakes.

The reason for that sword pose is that it apes the ready position from Kendo, where you stand with one foot in front and both hands on the sword hilt in an opposing grip.

Also Sarkeesian. Thanks to her and her ilk any playful sexuality is now “rape culture” and “objectification”.

Then stop internalizing it and turn off the damn TV.

“Internalizing” these messages doesn’t happen on its own You consciously and subconsciously choose what messages you want to listen to.

I want to be fitter because it confers advantages like being more likely to get good jobs and bonuses.

What she’s not saying is how attractive the guys behind the dick are.

Your comment is incredibly ironic in light of your post history and the racist undertones therein.

Hey look! It’s a menu choice that is completely irrelevant and devoid of any real world significance, but allows to feel good about ourselves because...you know, I mean we feminists have FINALLY succeeded in getting companies to put females visually alongside males on the character select screen. It’s a crowning…

Cancelling City of Heroes was particularly moronic. The game had a loyal following and there was a lot of potential with the IP involved....they probably could have gotten a good deal by selling the game and associated licenses to a US publisher.

That’s a terrible future.

You mean like Hatred?

Blanket statements like that make you look stupid.

You’re one of those idiots who thinks all people with black skin are the same, don’t you?

Nothing personal but when people talk about “black characters” they sound like fucking idiots when the audience is someone who lives and breathes the reality of the difference between African and African American.

But you’re…
