X-com UFO defense or XCOM Enemy Unknown?.

I like the gameplay from UFO, but the controls and graphics from EU.

Car or pickup?

ROFLMAO!!!

Or not trying as it were.

In cars we die. (another quote that should be on money)

He has the same cynical sense of humour as me. The type of humour you'd be shot at for. The type of humour that strangers look at and go; "what is wrong with you".

I think that's what brings us all together here.

We weren't all talking about multi-eyed organisms, Daniel. You're just being pear-a-noid.

523 is the loneliest number.

People take Machiavelli out of context, or willfully misinterpret him as a rationalization for doing whatever is convenient. When he wrote that the "ends justify the means", he was talking about what it meant to hold an entire nation together, where there are so many conflicting interests that it is definitively impossible to please everyone and never step on a toe. Even then, what Machiavelli was advocating was a search for the pareto-optimal, the "best for everyone" solution to ruling, and that was the end he was saying vindicated any methods for reaching it. He was trying to say, "Don't be intimidated when people grouse at the minor concessions you demand, so long as it secures their important needs." There were enough tyrants in Europe's history that nobody needed instructions on how to do whatever you wanted with power.

You're the first person besides myself that I've heard of that recognized that. +1 to your awesome stat.

Heh. X3 I'm actually already in a relationship. I neeeeever had a romantic crush on Ross a while back. *shifty eyes, looks around uneasily* ._.

X3 But this dream was recent. We even went on a roller coaster together which doesn't freaking help the whole 'raise altitude' thing. I'm gonna see it as a strong admiration.

It could be you see him as a close friend as well... That is if you would consider that to be something you would do with a close friend.

I did not just mutate that squirrel so it has 16 eyes, Daniel. You're just being paranoid. Here, have some free eyes.

Stairs, I'm not some Jabba the Hutt bastard on their damn scooter, I can walk.

I refuse to answer such a banal question!

Software keyboard/game controller or hardware keyboard/game controller?

Unintelligible. (I was at a car auction, and the only thing I got was a headache from all the yelling and pointless fast-talking that is supposedly intended to 'increase the excitement')

I wish I knew. I'm a little too new to have got really involved in it yet, plus I'm never confident enough to back up my own opinions.

Join in... Backing or not, you can at least voice your opinions. (and in some cases possibly realize what your opinions truly are)

Same question:

Why is the serious topic section silent again? We had some nice discussions going there for a while, and some not so nice arguments similar to what the previous question focuses on.

I don't know either... Hence why I asked the question the first time.

This time I'll give the option of either answering that question, or answering the question 'if you were a woodchuck, would you care about chucking wood?'.

I get too many of those already... Hopefully this one is something similar to this:

Or this:

Not caring about fingers, and contemplating being a thing instead of a person. It's remarkably difficult to do.

Oh, and one of my fellow unfortunates had been texting throughout the whole ordeal and didn't realize he was dead until I told him, to which he said, "Meh" and got back to it.

I'm sorry I intruded into your dream... I';; try not to do that anymore.

UE if it's well done, (complete detailed graphics control, etc.) and doesn't have the excessive blur that always seems to be included with the engine... CE otherwise.

Used car or new car?

- Companion Cube

- Two things stripy

- A barely visible blurry thick black cord

Okay. X3 First off, you can start by reading my draft story base of it. Basically dot points of what each comic strip will contain. I need to make sure my story isn't completely bullsnot. XD I'll like, PM you it when I'm done. X3

I'll be glad to do it.

This actually reminded me of my own time as an editor.

I mostly blocked it out because the author was horrifically incompetent and acted like a child whenever I criticized something that didn't make sense or pointed out blatant continuity errors. I even had to make a list of the named characters that popped up, important facts about them, links between them and other characters, the factions they were part of, and even their own physical appearance because he couldn't remember any of it. Then he had to nerve to kick me off his editing team, after I spent over a year working on his mess, without warning and still demanded I let him use the document I made. The best part is I had to learn this from another editor which I brought on to help with grammar since I'm dyslexic as fuck.

I've had those... My brother being one of them. (he's trying to make a full graphic novel, and thinks it's ready for publication despite the fact that he can't find anyone that understands it without his verbal explanation)

For the most part I enjoyed being the kind of editor that made sure everything clicked together in the end rather than the spell checking kind. I hope I can help being that kind of editor again someday.

I enjoy that too, but because of taking one year of grammar from an English major (she has been my Mom's best friend for over 40 years) I have an ingrained grammar nazi that can't be turned off. (and I love to be able to use it to help people)

Getting ready to head out to a car auction... Hopefully I can get a car for under $500. (and hopefully it's the Mazda3 and/or the Mitsubishi Diamante)

First, please do not post in this thread if you aren't going to be civil.

Now, on to the topic at hand, the Affordable Care Act. More commonly known as 'Obamacare'.

This is a recent article highlighting one of the more significant 'beneficial' aspects of the legislation, and it's total failure in all but 1 state.
