Well changing how the stats work is certainly another avenue. Stats do so little that a hit to them amounts to very little, but what if they were to make a bigger difference? My preferred solution was, as always, more of a hybrid of different things. Yes, stats doing more would mean losing some...

Damn! I wrote all this over four years ago??? Tempus fugit indeed... Well, although this serves more or less the purpose of a bump, I would also like to add that I've replayed the game fairly recently, immediately after playing the most recent titles in the series (Dark Souls II, Bloodborne...

Oh FUCK that! I never said use the same password for EVERYTHING!!! That's just BEGGING to lose your whole life just because ONE little article was compromised!!! No, I personally go through a rotation of roughly half a dozen passwords, and I juggle which ones were used more than others whenever...

No, habits do not become addictions. They only become reinforced habits. Addictions, on the other hand, are habits that are reinforced by the addiction. Draw out your ven diagram. It's all whether it involves a chemical dependency, NOT a preferred chemical balance. One is a matter of choice, one...

Action figures at least look vaguely humanoid. THOSE characters looked like they were drawn in the style of the house from Up!

It was ridiculous. It had all the oldschool voice actors from the 90s cartoons, so that was a plus. But that was IT. The art style was painfully childish to look at. The story was... meh. There really was no resolution of any kind. It tried to copy TDKR by having Batman die only not really at...

Sorry that I wasn't more clear in my last post. Tobacco is ALSO one of the chemicals which is considered "addictive", BUT like alcohol, its addictive properties are very mild. You won't go through an agonizing withdrawal like you would with kicking a heroin addiction, but you won't simply be...

Yes, someone physically indoctrinated WOULD do everything in their power to make a case against freedom of choice. It doesn't matter what kind of environment you live in, freedom to determine your own personal outcomes IS the preferable alternative. The fact that some people feel pressured into...

New computer is on it's way, and I'm getting more and more giddy! =D Gonna play SO MUCH Dota2, without any (or, well... rather, with LESS) of all this bullshit lagging and DCing and slow loading I've been increasingly having the put up with. I never wanted my latest system to keep going past 4...

I know I should probably look at your name and expect this, but still.... DAMN you're obsessed with gun-related topics!!!

That is a philosophical quandary for us all to ponder. As for me, I would MUCH prefer having truth on my side, and all alone in my knowledge of it, than go along with the flow if it's all falsehood. Of course, the former scenario is INCREDIBLY unlikely, but if it were up to me, and those were my...

Not quite... Addiction is defined by BEING a physical condition, not a mental one. You can develop a habit of taking a non-addictive drug, and you can suffer so-called "mental withdrawal", but that doesn't make it addictive, or make those ACTUAL withdrawals. FOOD is more addictive than certain...

Assault on Arkham was... okay. It just wasn't good at all. That didn't make it bad in any way. But after hearing about it with much applause and celebration, I only came away from it delighted, but not really impressed. It had the appeal of Kevin Conroy as Batman, but that was measured out (and...

You would think anything I've said on these boards has been me "flipping my shit", wouldn't you? You have no idea what it looks like when I actually go off the rail, but you think you do. But hey, I noticed from the beginning that people here have a propensity for trolling and confusing it for...

Approval, consensus, and peer reviews are irrelevant to actual truth. I said nothing about theories or speculations, I commented on facts and absolutes. They're completely different things. It's not a hard concept to grasp that someone such as myself holds that the universe is absolute and...

In early '99, Linkin Park started becoming really huge with the younger crowd at the time. NONE of the groups Beaushizzle mentioned were on anyone's radars by 1999, let alone early 2000. At least not in Southern California high school crowds. Then again, the question was regarding radio...

And I can tell people are not READING a damn thing I even write. Seriously, I SPECIFICALLY STATE that the only MGS game I played was IV, and that I watched the first 50 minutes of a TPP Let's Play. Where in this COMPLETELY OPEN FRANKNESS does "I can tell" come into the picture? It's not even...

I don't think Vault 21 was "wacky" at all! It was just another vault with an idea in mind that, like the nude Mormon vault, was EXPECTED to end up in catastrophic failure, but unexpectedly yielded a very prosperous community. Even from a consumer standpoint, I can't imagine anyone who took up...

We still don't know that for sure, yet. It's more than likely, but still not yet certain. That whole display of being able to customize your power armor might imply that you CAN keep the stuff, and what that means is that with jet packs (I guess Bethesda took Yahtzee's "everything's better with...

Well, it's also POSSIBLE, given how prosperous Vault 21 was until House forcibly sealed it off, that Vegas could've prospered as well. But the same rule of "background radiation + drifting fallout = kills everybody" would also still apply, which is the main difference between Vegas and Vault 21...
