Well.....you do have a 'beard'.

That, or he's legally blind....which after reading the other comments about not being able to read text at 1080, I'd say is probably the case.

I'm not sure if this is trolling or not.

That's just off the top of my head.

Here's the interesting part though.... What is your solution? Should the officers have simply stood there and talked with her for an hour or two....hoping that she would finally act in a rational manner and leave the premises?

Then we would have the same people that are howling about the taser complaining that the useless police wouldn't do their job. They wasted hours of taxpayer time just riding the clock while chatting with an unruly citizen. They were just having a fun conversation while that guy over in Macy's stole $4k in jewelry and ran out the door. Those useless cops didn't even care about doing their job.

Or perhaps the officers in question should have physically removed this older lady from the store? She decides to go limp while being escorted out...and falls. Then claims a neck injury...and no doubt one of those crass officers would have bumped her breast while trying to convince her to stand back up. Let's see...sexual harassment, police brutality, battery, and compensation for mental anguish. That sounds like even worse press and monetary damages to the taxpayer's coffers. Useless bully cops!!! How dare they try to physically escort that poor old woman out the door! The cads!

Seriously. I want to see all these armchair geek warriors illustrate the *correct* action that should be taken for someone resisting arrest and making a general public nuisance of themselves intentionally. I want this mystical solution that you have in your mind that has no negative repercussions, especially when dealing with someone that already has the intention of going against the social grain. Living in your Mom's basement and fighting the good fight with a keyboard doesn't mean you have a clue what it's like to be in any kind of a physical confrontation. I want a solution rather than all the whining and bitching.

Desert Combat....excellent mod.

What exactly are you basing this opinion on? Out of about 25 people, with the exception of ONE person, everyone I know that purchased D3 has stopped playing it. Their reasons span the full spectrum of the howling you read online...but all of them stem from "it really isn't that fun." If you listen to any gaming podcasts or keep up with any non-blizzard, non-fanboi forums, you will read the exact same story time and time again.

D3 probably sold 100x the copies of T2 due to fabricated hype, WoW fanbois, and D2 fans hoping to continue the wonderful replayability that they experienced with the first two games. Now, like so many other big budget games that rely on hype and flash to line the pockets of their parent corporation.....the players have fled in droves. Yes, D3 will probably have an overall larger community. Yes, they will be rabid. Continue to grow....no, the numbers don't lie there. But more involved? Probably not. All it will take are a few decent groups modding T2 and you will see long term and continued enthusiastic support for the game that could eclipse D3.

T2 is the worthy successor to the D1/D2 legacy.

No...a RPG is a Role Playing Game. The classification outdates its use in PC gaming and the liberal application used from that point. There is little to no "role playing" in most of the PC games classified in this genre. It's a dungeon crawl with an interesting storyline in the background. Just because it's a 3D isometric game with evolving statistics doesn't make it an RPG. The early RPG games were SSI gold box games using the AD&D label...and since AD&D was an actual role playing game, the classification stuck.... VampireTM, Baldur's Gate, Planescape....those had character driven storylines with NPC interactions and quests that could affect the course of the game. None of them were linear dungeon crawls. Dawn of War II has a 3D iso interface, character progression and a storyline.....but it's a RTS....because there is no role playing involved.

Hell, even Dungeon Defenders could be classified as an RPG since there is character progression and a storyline....but honestly, it's just a FPS or hybrid Tower Defense game. I have a sneaky suspicion that had it been a diablo-esque 3D iso game that there would be some calling it an RPG/FPS/TD.

I've always thought it was odd we call any game set in a fantasy environment an RPG....a Role Playing Game.

To me Diablo, Titan's Quest, Torchlight....they're all the same as Gauntlet.....they're dungeon crawlers.

Possibly because most PC titles that aren't ports have a diminished gameplay if you try to use a controller? Ever tried to play an RTS or DOTA with a controller?

Until there's something out there that "doesn't suck", I'd like Microsoft to remain healthy and viable.

Apple's walled garden where everything will soon have to be bought through the app store and whose server product is laughable? Nah.

Linux flavor of the week that totally ignores the need for corporate Groupware and thumbs it's nose at the idea of a homogeneous environment? Nah.

BeOS? Mayyyyybe

So I suppose one option is better than none....

Sounds like your problem was the DM, not the actual rules. Most DMs allow rerolls of '1' on a HP roll. Most DMs also use one of the alternative stat rolling systems rather than forcing you to live with the exact three die that you rolled for a particular stat.

Just out of curiosity, do you really feel that the PSN interface is better than XBox? Whereas XBox is more complex and not as simple to navigate, it has always felt like a richer experience overall. That being said, I don't subscribe to Live....because I"m not willing to pay for a service that is free on every other platform. Fanboi console monkeys seem to be willing to settle for dumbed down gameplay, poor control schemes, and price gouging....but that's the world they choose. (I do own a PS3, Xbox360, and a few PCs.)

Valve's Steam has ever other online gaming/marketplace/matchmaking service I've seen beaten...hands down. Nothing else really compares for overall value and usability.

The explanation is in the verbal use rather than the written. If you're speaking at a relatively fast clip, "would have" blurs into "would've"....which sounds like "would of". People become accustomed to using it in this fashion and then begin writing out what they would of said rather than what they would have written.

Perhaps his next environment will be the same...and the one after that....and perhaps the fourth as well.... Maybe by the fifth he'll wonder if the issue isn't the workplace or culture, but more between the ears of the viewer.

I'm not saying he's not a brilliant, young up-and-comer that can do no wrong and has to fight the righteous fight against the entrenched evil old men that are ruining the world around him.... But I would say that sounds a lot like half the movies coming out of Hollywood. If he's that good...and his shop that bad....he should have *PLENTY* of contemporaries in other companies that could get him into a healthier IT culture.

Looks like he pulled a Wilson.
