Funny. I see the unsurprising and derivative world building and plot of Mass Effect as the greatest flaw, and sign of the end of the great Bioware games, and others like that?

tech =/ science/knowledge. And I honestly doubt that the tech was the same, unless they carved the wood pieces and made the metal pieces (of the tools, mind) out of not well alloyed steel, and all the other stuff that differentiates modern tech from old.

Well, everytime there are different views on spelling, I prefer to not really care if the language changed (so no one today will really know) and they used a different alphabet.

That’s not cosplay, that’s LARP. And it kind of looks like Conquest of Mythodea, but other cons may also have self made palisades and trees :-D

The samurai style was just like the western, killing the enemy as save and fast as possible, You’re talking about the glorification in legend/myth/whatever, and about the derived sport of ju-jitsu. For comparison, the western equivalent of ju-jitsu is fencing (but even more of a sport, not much philosophy there. And…

That’s a short story? Only saw the superb movie. I’m really impressed that someone can tell this story as a short story :-)

So, I guess that this list is only for tv and film, otherwise Kelsier should be here. He conned a living god, his church, the most powerful nobles of a world wide empire, and hundreds of thousands of people in the biggest city. Hell he even cons his own team, all the while finishing his plan to overthrow the Final…

Except that isn’t true. The Witchers are ostracized because they are Witchers, but not that much. But every stranger and everyone who is different has a very hard time on the continent, so everyone who travels or is a bit excentric gets it dirty. And witchers are always different and from another place. There are…

It’s like Warcraft and Warhammer. Warhammer was way earlier and Warcraft took much from it, and got way more mainstream.

Does anybody understand the last sentence?

Matrim Cauthon (Wheel of Time), the series isn’t as successful as it should be (ASoIaF sells almost as well, for christs sake...) , and in-universe, nobody trusts him to put his pants on the right way, besides the people that are so much around him that they can’t delude themselves anymore.

Yeah, my beard looks like that after a week. What about that needs grooming? After a couple of weeks one should cut the hairs on upper lip and beside the mouth, but otherwise no grooming required. Just my two cents...

So, when I thought that earth is round, so there needn’t be a headwind, I was wrong?

I don’t think we will ever find the social order and/or the path to it, that would allow world peace.

So, who was the smart cookie who reasoned out it has to be cavitation, if these are the first pictures? It's been known for several years.

Witcher 2 is about knowing what you can get and what not. I don’t use blocking at all, just give the strikes i can give, and dodge away. So it’s important to hit and run. Combos aren’t really important. Abilities only matter to create more or bigger openings to strike. I can understand if one doesn’t like that though.

I don’t expect good story in a Bethesda game. I Min/Max and powergame and explore a bit, and then I’m bored :-)

Hmm, as soon as i saw the graphics, i thought “why do the textures look like crap all of a sudden?” Looks like a console game, not like maximum settings...

Yeah, I usually only buy on sales, but I never even thought about that for the first 2 games. But I quite like the books, so...
