But dropping out of school, getting pregnant in high school with some random guy, doing drugs, etc will lead to poverty. While doing well in school, and working hard can lead to becoming wealthy.

There is something called ROTC, and the fact that recruiters are in every high school, both targeted at teenagers. I think the ACLU is just bored.

Well, a quick google search shows again that violence is on the rise in America and Worldwide. I don't recall posting over the past 30 years.

“Spending two hours on a game station is equivalent to taking a line of cocaine in the high it produces in the brain," Pope told BBC Radio 5Live in an interview last night. “It's the silent killer of our generation.

“We're now onto second generation game station players who have always grown up with it. Computer game addiction can also spiral into violence as after playing violent games, they may turn their fantasy games into reality.

"It is the fastest growing addiction in the country and this is affecting young people mentally and physically."

Guys, these changes are all for the better. I mean, really, who wants to worry about skills anyway? It's hard enough figuring out the difference between attributes and talents. Hell, I was hoping they'd remove attributes as well. All those numbers are confusing and detract from the visceral and cinematic flow of the game! And thank goodness for the dialogue wheel. This is a videogame. If I want to read full sentences, I'll stick with books thank you very much. The tone icons make the dialogue much more visceral and cinematic. And I'm glad they're making the combat more visceral and cinematic. Having to manage my party and use tactics was boring and tedious. This isn't a strategy game. Now I can just press a button and something awesome happens! Oh, and the new influence system is so much better. It was lame when my companions got pissed off at me in DAO and wouldn't tell me about their backstory or ask me to help them with their quests and stuff. I mean, come on, how is that visceral or cinematic? This is an RPG! I should be able to do everything and everyone should help me even if I represent the antithesis of their beliefs and principles.

DA2 gets rid of all the outdated and silly things that made DAO suck. DAO felt like something from the 90's and it's time to move on to something more visceral and cinematic where awesome stuff happens whenever you push a button on your gamepad.

That's a lot of hate there.

Doom was a masterpiece, and Romero largely crafted it. Doom wouldn't have been nearly as popular without the atmosphere. It went beyond technology.


And, despite id not releasing a decent game in over 10 years, I'd still take them over Raven's games using their engine.

Some people just collect games to collect games. I have boxes upon boxes of games I will probably never play from years past. I'm sure there are plenty of pirates who do the same thing except they were smart enough not to waste their money.

I agree that humans are greedy. But the real power lies with those who have the power to exploit these tendencies. So??? Don`t blame the individual. Blame the power players. Those who exploit. I blame Battlefield 3!!!! So wtf are they gonna exploit me, and release the demo?????

New Ghost Recon....nice

I wonder if someone made MyCraft, an exact replica of MineCraft, and distributed it for $1 if he'd be as ok with it.

Edit: Oh, and this game pretty much sucks. The new nanosuit functionality is totally consolized. I loved the original suits with the different modes. This one only has two other modes in addition to the regular mode which enables a more powerful shot.

This expansion will also have a discount to Trinity users, but I don't have any more info right now about that though.

It's a stand alone expansion, which is free to all players that purchased 'Elemental: War of magic' last year.

Any talk of 'brand new game' comes from the fact that so much of the original needed to the overhauled for the expansion to be considered a good game.
