  1. World of Warcraft: Its Combat System

    Perfect? Haha. Never played another MMO"RPG" online for more than 5 hours, but after catching the bug I've become a completely WoW person. Discovering how much strategy, tactics (in the sense of being on your toes and adapting to situation) and personal choices can affect the gameplay was...

  2. Bioware's next gen akshun gaem

    Are you referring to any specific game with this example? Or is this a straw man?

  3. Bioware's next gen akshun gaem

    I do agree and there's no argument per se but please consider that most of the current RPG genre tries to have a resemblance of a strong storyline and some element of surprise/twist/whatever you call it. IMO, the less "precise" option would give the develpers better means to achieve more...

  4. Bioware's next gen akshun gaem

    Galsia, you delude yourself and your understanding of what precision means appears to be flawed. In both your exaples the outcomes are [1,2,3,4] and those outcomes are exact. Labels attached to your choices do not matter. Further, 3.6451 does not give any more detail intrinsically than "three...

  5. The upgraded writing

    Regardless of its age, "goatee" is a multi-faceted word with a colorful literary history and a strong aura of exactness. It is constructed of "goat" and the suffix "-ee" giving it a meaning of "having a resemblance of". Other examples of such a construction would be "employee", "tee-shirt"...

  6. The upgraded writing

    Well, there is definitely an issue of reading something that wasn't there in the first place. Let me tell you, Galsiah, you did a fine job representing your people here. I can only suggest though that with a little practice these problems will go away and will seem insignificant to all of you.

  7. The upgraded writing

    Galsiah, your argument is so off-the-wall that it almost makes sense - I would've understood where are you coming from in case of half-page sentences with convoluted grammar. We're discussing here a phrase with less than 20 words, and you are pointing out that having a comma four words from...

  8. The upgraded writing

    Yes, I do know what you mean. The term you are looking for is "address" (or direct address). Excl. mark is applicable, of course, to convey emphasis/emotion. BUT. Your original point is incorrect (the address in the quoted sentence cannot be misinterpreted neither spoken nor written), and even...

  9. The upgraded writing

    Look Ma, No Verb! 8-)

  10. The upgraded writing

    BTW & OT, is 'solipism' one of the instances of what editors are for?

  11. The upgraded writing

    IMO, Veracity's versions are an excellent take on marrying the originals with the rewrite. Original's characterization of Fen (that people cannot tell apart his lies & truths) is somewhat lost ( "he would lie unabashedly", followed by contradictory "truths...indistinguishable from his...

  12. The upgraded writing

    Overall, I don't like the rewrite. 1st: Rewrite is much better. Two small points: 'Goatee' is a dead ringer for 'something evil this way comes' - which would be ok if Cassius will turn out as more of a positive character. The cliche in the last sentence makes me cringe, 'business...

  13. Stick a fork in PC gaming - it's done

    Dell's "cheap" high-end gaming system is delayed yet again. While some people start to mind the wait for bargain @ $4665, there are other offerings available right now - prices range from $5k to $8k.

  14. AoD music

    #1/1 - doesn't fit the setting, imo. It plays like a romantic ballad slowed a bit. While it could be a decent piece of musak but without vocals this kind of stuff bores the hell out of me. #1/2 - fits the setting better than the rest. It started to build up drama at the end - may be too much...

  15. Interview A Decadent Interview at RPG Dot

    We would be living in a vacuum if comma splices were to suck as much as WouldBeCreator insinuates.
