    On The Horrible Naming

    You got me. Misattribution. How about: "Shall I let you breathe again?" Or "Should I stop killing you now?" I'm pretty certain that if 6 billion people didn't agree, those who do not agree could be quickly dealt with.

    Are you saying Lincoln's opinion is wrong?

    On The Horrible Naming

    Proof is seldom used outside the world of mathematics. Evidence is the more likely term here. Exhibit A: Lightning Panther Strike. Exhibit B: Golden Wyvern Adept Expert Witness Testimony: "I don't like it." On cross-examination: "I still don't like it." Case Closed. I hold a variety of...

    You can please everyone. You just can't do it all the time.

    On The Horrible Naming

    You seem to have an incorrect definition of opinion. An opinion is: a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. You have a right to believe what you wish. However, that belief can be true or false regardless of the level of certainty you hold...

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    The game is awesome by the way. And the dialog system (specifically, the procedural generation of facial expressions for a wide variety of faces) is one of the biggest advances in the gaming industry since jumping. It's very impressive technology.

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    I used to be very blah about all of the biotic effects. Then, after getting my butt handed to me more than a few times I tried investing in them a bit more. I'm not sure I could get through the game without Singularity. Take the group of people over there out from behind cover, pick them up...

    On The Horrible Naming

    Just trying to come up with an example that fit the lettering scheme. I think I did pretty well with a whole 5 seconds to think about it. Perhaps if I were writing some kind of book or something, I'd put more effort into my names.

    On The Horrible Naming

    No. They're wrong to like them. They have a right to their opinions. But that particular opinion is wrong. They need to come to terms with that. Sometimes that's hard, I know. But the first step is the hardest. Admitting that they were wrong. Then they can move on to the anger and...

    i didn't write FR: Anauroch

    I hope Skip gets some sort of compensation for that screw up. Oh gee, SORRY. You didn't want any credit for all that work did you?

    On The Horrible Naming

    The fact that the names are capable of dividing the designers into two camps is itself indicative of a problem. There wouldn't be a division if the names didn't climb to some level of suckage. Those designers who like them are wrong. They should come out and admit it or face being burned in...

    Adding another log. Lightning Panther Strike.

    Until now I have sat back and been fairly tame in my comments about 4e. But some crap deserves outright public shaming. It already went to press is no excuse, and it's certainly not an excuse I want to hear about in the PHB. If they had told us things like the "Dragonborn" earlier and made...

    On The Horrible Naming

    As I said in the other thread, perhaps it could be an obfuscation system designed to hide the actual names of feats. You'd just need a list of A-Z adjectives, A-Z nouns, and A-Z verbs. Put one in each slot and you get a stupid name. Like Lightning Panther Strike. But perhaps the real feat name...

    Adding another log. Lightning Panther Strike.

    That's assuming the Lightning refers to the Strike, and there isn't some kind of Lightning Panther, which could, ironically, be quite slow.

    Panther Strike. Wyvern Adept. Tail Cut. Cutting out the adjective helps. A lot.

    Adding another log. Lightning Panther Strike.

    I also wonder if it's not a joke but rather an obfuscation system to hide the real names of feats and abilities... Say you have a feat with the initials WTF. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Wyvern Tail Flip But really that's just me wishing against all hope.

    Adding another log. Lightning Panther Strike.

    You know, that sounds great! Leaping into battle and biting your enemies sounds like a great ability. Better names for that would be: Facechewer Heck, even PATHER LEAP. Is better than Lightning Panther Strike. WTF is that? Is it a lightning strike? Or is there some type of lightning...

    Adding another log. Lightning Panther Strike.

    Grog the barbarian like Lightning Panther Strike. He also like Dragon Tail Cut and Golden Wyvern Adept. Sometime Grog like Sunset Beach Walk and Candle Dinner Eat. Particularly with a nice Emerald Frost. Goddamn it. Someone stop this madness. Sometimes a ham sandwich is a friggen ham...

    And the mystery race is...hated

    Seriously, why the hell did they keep Dragonborn a "mystery" race?!?!? Did they really believe that everyone was going to love it when it got revealed? Why not... oh, I don't know... reveal all the races early, find out that one of them made the D&D community vomit in their mouths and then AXE...
