But their religion tells them to do plenty of things you aren't allowed to do any more. Where does what "religious freedom" covers stop and a nations laws begin? Law > Religion. Your religion < Other peoples health and well being. It's much like the opposition to smoking. You're free to destroy your body, but when it starts effecting other people, then sod off. Shouldn't the proper response be to end harassment? you want to fight harassment with more harassment? Well folks could remain neutral I guess...

The fire? You could use it to kill folks and set off explosions, as well as directing people where you want them to go. I guess with FC2 it was set in the African bushlands, and thus plenty of flammable shrubbery around. But middle of a jungle? Tend to be quite damp.

Actually only the Animus is somewhat futuristic. Everything else seems pretty modern day stuff. Generators n flood lights strewn about in brotherhood, regular old white van to escape in etc.

That's where the question of Liberty comes up. Just as I would not expect a Jehovah's Witness organization to pay for a blood transfusion or a Christian Scientist organization to pay for anything! I'm not Catholic and I'm not opposed to BC pills but I am opposed to the government telling a church what to do. To me, that's an infringement on one's Liberty! The catholic organisation isn't being forced to take the pills though. They're still free to turn them down as in line with their religious doctrine. No ones religious freedom is being infringed upon except by those that are being told what they can and cannot do by religious establishments. It's pretty much just gov't stepping in and saying "well, we're the law actually. Stop telling others what they can and can't do. That's our job". @Yante: Then surely the uneven and unfair healthcare provided through corporations could be resolved by...maybe some kind of... national health service or something...? edit: Woops, seems the "umpteen posts" pop-up failed to launch for me p.s currently reading through the rolling stones thing. May be a while on a response.

http://gamingeverything.com/15247/new-far-cry-3-scans/?pid=9802 Some scans of an article on it. Beware, site might throw a full page ad at you.

So watching the Gaintbomb stream of the Vita they palyed: (well the Vita version) Now I haven't played it myself, but whenever I've read the name I've pronounced it to myself as "Lou-mines" The Giantbomb cast, and then the game as it booted up; "luminous". Which means there's probably a ton of game names I pronounce wrong. Like I'm playing "knee-air" at the moment. (The guys name is never used in game, since you can change it like Tidus)

And the previously mentioned trailer. No gameplay though.

Question: I'm maybe missing something here. Why can your employers dictate what health care you're provided? Surely that's a bit out of their realm of control. They can maybe fire you if you get pregnant(I'd hope not, but I hear terrible things of US job laws), end up off all the time with cancer treatments, etc. But surely they don't get to step in and actually say "no, my employee isn't getting that cancer treatment"? It's none of your employers goddamn business what you have to get better. Excepting taking an interest in order to maybe judge how long you'll be off for.

It was just a Shadow of the Colossus valentine. I think I saw that elsewhere. Is that it now?

That don't work. Also Gaymers?

Cos now I want the new version bad. Anyway maybe of interest: http://argumentrix.com/wiki/Main_Page A site of for and against arguments. eg: http://argumentrix.com/wiki/Governments_should_recognize_both_opposite_and_same_sex_marriages

Dammit Adobe.

http://www.theglobea...article2336889/ Canadian MPs giving us a glimpse into how the next round of SOPA/PIPA-like internet censorship/surveillance bills will go down. It's much harder to say "oh well if you don't like this bill you must hate the hollywood industry" and convince folks than "if you're against this bill you must be pro child porn". And a piece on Wired about the rise of cyberwarfare chants, yet the lack of evidence, is reminiscent to the pre-Iraq War WMD talk. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/02/yellowcake-and-cyberwar/ Cyber-security is still a good idea though, but more at a corporation level than a gov't one. (Not that the US is oblivious to the potential uses of cyberwarfare for sabotage, as seen in the Stuxnet attack on Iran.)

Demo Impressions: Kinda bummed that it had no save import function :/ Also none of the lovely external config editor I've come to like Bioware games for. Overall much like Mass Effect 2. I'd probably need to play over a full game to see how the new "this OR that" level system works though. Shame we never got to see about editing guns, that would have been a nice feature to show off. edit: I guess I should note I played a full biotic(Vanguard?). Turns out my main save is a Sentinel. My main issue would be that some attacks just whacked into scenery. Which is a bummer since the cool down can take a while.

hahha, not telling you off. The thread is 57 pages long after all, and always good for those who didn't see it the first time around. Making the bits in Skyrim will take a while, but terrain generation as seen in the other provinces is extremely basic. http://www.planetside.co.uk/content/view/21/36/ - here's some free terrain generation software if anyone wants to take it for a spin. http://www.daz3d.com/i/products/bryce/- - Or this, which I prefer. Great for making wallpapers if nothing else, but should show you how quick you can make basic terrain.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ New update out. If any of you are interested (I guess it'll be a while until Lazy Newb Pack gets update for it though)

Yeah if you have video it's somewhat "simple" (though cleanup required) to clear moving objects from a scene by the program figuring out what's static and what isn't. A single static image wouldn't be able to do it though, and that video was very definitely SFX .

Heh, this was covered in a post long long ago There's a quest where you end up in the sky and can see all around you. It's cheap to render that kind of stuff anyway, and extremely easy to make too. Like a couple hours work.

Just to toss this one out there but IMDB is editable like Wikipedia (you just have to be a Pro member). You'll probably find a lot of the cast VA was put up as soon as ME3 was announced.
