    PC, Xbox 360 or PS3?

    Actually, it looked like the dispute was between the statement that the PS3 is very reliable vs the statement that the PS3 is more reliable than a 360. When he says "a PS3 is more reliable than a 360, but that doesn't mean the PS3 is reliable", countering with "the PS3 is more reliable than the...

    Xbox Originals...Worthwhile?

    I liked Fable, and I like the idea of the XBox Originals, but... Well, you can probably pick up used games of these for cheaper than $15, and if you've got the standard 20gig, I'm not sure how fast you can fill it with these. Still, I never played Psychonauts, so there's always that.

    Tabula Rasa

    Wow, what a bad review, IMO. Just wants to poke at the guy and genre, IMO. Tabula Rasa has a bit of a grind, sure, because anything with levels does. There are quests that revolve around "kil 10 monsters" but they are a minority and not central to the quest lines. I don't think the interface...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#27)---10/15/07-'The Kindness of Strangers'

    I think the point is more that, no matter the explanation, there is a requirement to investigate thoroughly. There is no "easy explanation" that would lead to the rest of the world going "oh, okay, that's fine then" and move on with life. A nuclear blast occurred above NY and an answer MUST be...

    They're FREE!!! Bungie comes out of the Darkness in Redmond where the Shadows Lie!

    From what I had gathered, Bungie was semi-free willed as part of MS. I'm sure the contracts were simply coming up on 7th year and rather than lose developers, MS would rather grab up an exclusive deal with Bungie Independent rather than lose the heart of the division. I"m sure the money came up...

    An argument for gnomes (Eberron)

    4e racial write ups will be a bit more statted than the 3e section. An MM entry won't be the same probably. I expect them to be online, since hopefully they're doing an Eberron update of some sort before 09. Either way, the design choice that cuts out the gnome is not one I'll follow.

    Gno more gnomes?

    It's not really that you see a need, but do you see a need for them to NOT be there? Just because you don't like something, should it be removed rather than you simply ignoring it? Anyway, I don't see any overlap between gnomes and halflings, other than they're short. I certainly don't see any...

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince point of discussion (Spoilers)

    I disagree, not because Neville lacks a scar, but because he has never really had anything that shows Vold marked him as an equal. Harry's got the scar, he's been attacked at various points, he's important to Vold. Neville probably doesn't even come up in conversation. Neville's importance to...

    Heroes Season 1(#20)---4/30/07-'(Five Years Gone)String Theory'

    Sylar has cold generation powers, that's separate from any nuclear powers. He froze Molly's (apparent) father.

    Heroes Season 1(#20)---4/30/07-'(Five Years Gone)String Theory'

    Ambiguity is not as omnipresent as you seem to think. The paintings might be open to some interpretation, but otherwise facts that have been presented as facts have not been contradicted at later points with any sort of regularity. The paintings are not cut & dry, true. That doesn't mean that...

    Heroes Season 1(#20)---4/30/07-'(Five Years Gone)String Theory'

    If your only method of discussing the show is to point out that everything is a falsehood, then why bother trying to work within the framework for discussion? Seriously, Hiro says he healed when he was stabbed, and he found the cheerleader and prevented Sylar from getting the power. Is it...

    Heroes Season 1(#20)---4/30/07-'(Five Years Gone)String Theory'

    I've heard a few folks that think he didn't save Claire in the revised timeline, but I don't think that is automatically a given. Claire obviously WAS saved, since she's not dad. I've heard plenty of folks that think her death was faked and that she never met the Petrelli's and so on, but the...

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    I think an Unearthed Arcana style book twice a year would be good, as long as the material was good. But, yeah, we don't know. Lurking Lidda's Magic NDA Ball probably has "ask again in 3 months" come up a lot. :)

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    I just meant that in that specific quote of "what about those of us that hate online stuff", it was probably referring to the books (especially the "online compendium") as products they're using to support folks that won't like online stuff. From my point of view, I don't think it's a matter of...

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    My read of it isn't that the DI is for everyone, but rather that for those that don't want internet stuff, there will still be plenty of D&D print products, including compilations of the online material.

    [Eberron] Suspicions about Dal Quor

    I think part of the Path of Light is that you can influence how Dal Quor will be reborn. So, sure the next set isn't for sure a Good Place, but you can push it that way by pushing the Path of Light. The Dreaming Dark doesn't know what the next path will be, they just know that it WILL be an end...

    Heroes Season 1(#19)---4/23/07-'.07%'

    Hiro learns he can't save her, and is thrown forward in time. She still is killed by Sylar though, since Hiro's buddy is still at the diner while they mourn.

    Guild Wars N00b. Which game to buy?

    GW: Prophecies is first, Factions second, Nightfall last, but any of the three is totally self-contained. There have been advancements in Nightfall such as Heroes over Henchmen (Henchmen are stock, Heroes can be customized, both are computer controlled allies.) I don't have Factions, of the two...

    What was the fate of Obould Many-Arrows?

    Obould? He languishes in my pile of unwanted miniatures, since no one wants to trade for him. :)

    Questions About Keith Baker's "Gates of Night" - Dreaming Dark Book 3 SPOILERS

    I don't think the Mournlands thing was really anything new, since it's all just a theory anyway. For the Warforged stuff, most of it was mentioned in XenDrik, but it's not a certain thing. The Quori might have been first, or the giants, or anything. The Quor-forged didn't have souls either...
