The best part of Warehouse 13 for me was seeing Ianto in action again.

I find it annoying from a non-RP perspective. I toiled to get my VEAT away from the horrible redside environment and thought I was free of it forever, but then I realized I had to go back when I wanted to get the Epic pool to complete his army of robot spiders. Such tedium.

It's actually a free floating, round button (movable by the player). It feels pretty unobtrusive to me. -

Or one could say that Federation military is pretty pathetic if 1 cube could wipe out their entire fleet.

Quote:Given that facts are absolutes, that could already be construed as a personal attack.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Okay, you're both done. Any further and it's just "Is not!", "Is too!"
Whether leveling speed is a gameplay advantage or not is a matter of OPINION.
And so it doesn't look like a personal attack later, since neither of you have done it yet, anyone who claims it is fact, and not opinion, is an idiot.

Quote:Making gameplay more convenient by speeding up the levelling process is absolutely a gameplay advantage. And the more inconvenient the base levelling speed is, the more of an advantage it becomes.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
Not a gameplay advantage.

Quote:Here's a thought: maybe she would wear cat ears because she has a slightly crazy obsession with cats. The sort of obsession that might drive someone to become Catwoman rather than a run-of-the-mill burglar. Obsession is a common theme in the Bat-gallery.Originally Posted by Lothic
I think you're reading a little too much into my take on this. If Hathaway's character decides she's going to wear cat ears just because it'd be a fun way to mock Batman's outfit then I'd be fine with that too. I just don't think she's going to automatically wear them because as Catwoman she's "supposed" to. As we said Ledger's Joker wore the clown paint to "scare" people. I figure if Hathaway wears the ears it'll be for another reason other than "her character requires it".

So, this is what the change was going to be all along, right? And the prior version was just to make the real change look better? With the added bonus that the devs got to pretend to listen to the players?
It just seems more plausible than the prior version actually being deemed acceptable.
These new designs look good, though. -

In TNG the Borg were pretty badass. 1 cube tore through how many starships in that initial battle? Yea... exactly.

Quote:Convenience is an advantage.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
Not quite.
Selling a faster levelling speed doesn't inherently unbalance anything; sure some players level faster than others, but they're always going to be equal at any given level. The same goes for things like enhancement unslotters, they're not conferring an inherent advantage to paid players, just a convenience.
The problem comes when you start selling things that give specific advantages to paid players. Things like massive buffs or epic armour or perma-Quad Damage. These things mean that players who pay money can do things that free players can't no matter how much time and effort they put in.
Giving paid players a time/convenience advantage isn't bad (unless you've designed your game in such a way that it is), giving them an ability advantage that free players can't achieve is. -
Quote:Hear! Hear! I hated when he Borg became such a major villain in TNG.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
I have to disagree; nothing has ever been interesting when it was the Borg. They were the lamest villain group ever invented, and I say that on the boards of a video game that includes no fewer than three Cobra knock-offs (four if you count the Praetorian Police) and the Snakes.

Seems contradictory. First he says that you shouldn't sell power because it makes players feel like they have to pay to play, then he says it's okay to sell 'levelling speed' which to me is selling power that makes me feel like I have to pay to play.

Quote:Strangely enough, style is a realistic reason. And not even vaguely so.Originally Posted by Lothic
That's why a suggested a few days ago that maybe we'll see a scene where she uses some kind of safe-cracking listening device which coincidentally looks sort of like cat ears. Maybe they'd be a direct rip-off of ear-tech she stole from Batman, who knows. They would be functional like that. Otherwise I don't really need her to wear them as part of her "expected uniform" unless there's a vaguely-realistic reason for it.

I didn't even know Borg was a rumour.

In your opinion.
Cat ears don't equal camp any more than bat ears. We're probably lucky Nolan didn't get rid of the cape.Quote:Personally, I'd rather Nolan and company stick to their "grounded in reality" theme than start going campy just to satiate hardcore comic nerds. -
Quote:Without them she doesn't really look like Catwoman.Originally Posted by Shard_Warrior
And Selina Kyle will most likely look like Catwoman. She will just have a costume design that Nolan and crew found acceptable to their vision of the character.
Personally, I'm quite happy to not see her in cat ears. She doesn't need them IMO. -
Quote:However, they didn't use that as an excuse to not make him look like Two-Face.Originally Posted by Shard_Warrior
Harvey Dent was essentially always referred to as "Harvey" or "Dent" in TDK. Gordon only referred to him as "Two Face" one time during his brief conversation with Dent in the hospital. It makes sense to me that Selina Kyle will not be referred to as "Catwoman" in this film.

Don't know what game you're playing, but the Rest power shows up in my tray when I train up to level 2.

Y'know, I've never read that book, but the movie is forever seered into my brain right next to the word awesome.

I would change humankind into an entirely female race with prehensile tails that doesn't need to eat and can live in hard vacuum.

Quote:There's a cult? I picked it up from the grocery store book aisle on a lark after hearing such horrible things about the movie and found it to be moderately interesting, though I wouldn't personally put it on a "Best Of" list.Originally Posted by Ironik
And Battlefield Earth? Really? Who outside the cult finds that even readable?

I'm curious as to where it's headed, but I can't say I'm really enjoying it.
