Bioshock 2 Themes

Ha! Wasn't expecting a reference to that on AT! But the cutscene where she tells you about For my part, I was really sucked in to the "paternal" element with her constantly calling you Father. Which is why it was so powerful for me.

Bioshock 2 Themes

This is probably an odd question, but I was discussing Bioshock 2 with a Clinical Psych. the other day, and she pointed out that the Little Sister/Adam mechanic could very easily be seen as a metaphor for abuse or pedophilia. You, the father figure, are "harvesting" them. This had never...

Dragon Age: Awakenings!

I feel like comparing BG2 to Dragon Age is a little unfair. BG was the inheritor of AD&D rules and lore, and all that entails. Fast forward a decade and Dragon Age has (to me) some definite MMO characteristics. Oddly enough, the one thing that annoyed me to no end was the lack of either...

Fallout 3 impressions

A few thoughts: My two favorite perks so far have been the Ammo Scravenger and Exp. Booster perks. Gaining 30-40% more xp ups your levels really quickly, and with the ammo perk you NEVER need to worry about ammo for anything that isn't unique (like the alien blaster). I have (I think) 80-90...

Tea?

I drink tea a great deal. I think my favorite place to order online is from adagio teas, simply because they have these amazing sampler packs. I tend to prefer rooibos teas in the main. Oh, and NO to sweet tea.

Question about sex change surgery

Seriously, it's not like they just wake up one day and think "Hmm... I want a penis/vagina..." Transgendered people (and by extension transexuals) are just that. They self-identify as the opposite of their genetic gender. It's rather moving actually to hear transgendered people talking about...

Men: Do you shave in the shower or at the sink?

I used to shave in the shower because it was significantly faster. And since I need to shave every day, if I wish to keep a clean appearance, this was a must. Since I switched to a classic safety razor, I pretty much require a mirror. Can't give these things enough credit. Not only are the...

What facewash do you use?

I prefer Neutrogena for post-shave lotion etc. but I love Nivea's mens line quite a bit. The "Face Scrub" is pretty great. Even if you've got dry or oily skin, that doesn't really matter. It's an exfoliant plain and simple. I've had mixed results with their balancing lotion and purifying face...

Why don't you call her and say "Look, I don't give a rat's *** about you being in a relationship, I was just giving you crap. So stop trying to bring it up in conversation, it's petty. We're not 7th graders." In a much politer way of course.

Kansas National Guard Hampered Coping With Tornado Aftermath

Slightly OT, but using tractors like bulldozers is generally a bad idea. Probably 1/3 to 1/2 of them are going to be pretty old school, which means no roll bar on the back. Adding to that most tractors don't have front utility scoops, let alone the pneumatic setup for a useful, movable scoop...

Kansas National Guard Hampered Coping With Tornado Aftermath

I love tractors, don't get me wrong, but expecting a tractor to do the job of a bulldozer is asking a bit much, if only because of how easy some tractors are to tip. Dragging on the other hand... ;-) <--- From KS, btw.

Learning, stability, and most importantly, interface. Have you ever tried any of the alternate shells for windows? Completely terrible, every single one. To me at least, the xp interface gets in my way when I'm trying to get work done. (Although it's better with the Royal Noir theme.)
