What! You must not be a gamer then. The mouse controls are fine. It allows for intense combat. This game is the arcade version of Skyrim. >> ^Jinx:
Actually a good game if you can get over:
a)The lowest mouse sensitivity setting is high. The default setting is unplayable and the highest setting is what I imagine putting a camera in a blender is like. ie, you spin so fast everything merges together
b)The camera is indeed pretty awful. Targetting can often be a chore in combat.
But I enjoyed the rest of it. I hate WoW with a passion, but I didn't find the quests samey or boring. The game starts off relatively challenging, but it does begin to get quite easy once you start unlocking perks. I was also a roque type character and unlocked a bow attack that fired 7 arrows in a spread. Like him I found that the most effective use of this was like a shotgun on bigger enemies. 7 arrows all hitting together was enough to almost 1 shot even the largest enemies. Still, combat is fun. I'd say the lore is fairly good if not a little cliched in parts. 8/10. Try it after you are disappointed by Mass Effect 3 (you will be, don't worry).


I hope you are sarcastic :3. I use a pretty low sensitivity because I play a lot of FPS games. Precision is more important that how many 360s you can do in a inch of mousemat. Ofc, precision isn't really important for KoA, but its still a pain having to use a sensitivity I am not used to simply because their control options aren't comprehensive enough. Not that KoA is alone in this, I am consistently amazed just how badly developers can fuck up their control schemes. Skyrim for instance had a bug that scaled y sensitivity based on your framerate... Then there is mouse acceleration that frequently can't be turned off without editing a config.txt somewhere. I actually pirate games just to look at the options menu.

The top rogue ability of launching 18 bombs works really well with the bow and arrow too. Enemy running at you, just step behind a bomb...

Potential soldier blender scenario right there.

From Wiki:

Freddy Mercury:

"...who was a Parsi born in Zanzibar and grew up there and in India until his mid-teens, has been referred to as "Britain's first Asian rock star". In 2006, Time Asia named him as one of the most influential Asian heroes of the past 60 years, and he continues to be voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music. In 2005, a poll organised by Blender and MTV2 saw Mercury voted the greatest male singer of all time. In 2008, Rolling Stone editors ranked him number 18 on their list of the 100 greatest singers of all time. In 2009, a Classic Rock poll saw him voted the greatest rock singer of all time. Allmusic has characterised Mercury as "one of rock's greatest all-time entertainers", who possessed "one of the greatest voices in all of music"... Biographer David Bret described his voice as "escalating within a few bars from a deep, throaty rock-growl to tender, vibrant tenor, then on to a high-pitched, perfect coloratura, pure and crystalline in the upper reaches"."

@direpickle @RedSky

Game Theory is dumb because it forces us to talk about morality in a vacuum. Real life choices have consequences that go beyond when the cameras shut off or an experiment ends.

That said, direpickle is mostly correct in saying that the "rational" choice, if executed by everyone, results in nobody getting any money. Having said that, how does that make the choice rational...unless you assume the other person does not have the same information as you? In this case you are in effect gambling on the other person having less "game theory information" than you.

You can still be wrong even if the average payout is higher by choosing steal. In any given specific case your payout can still be zero, regardless of your "theory". Really, the only option is, as mentioned, to tell the other person you fully intend to steal, but that you will share half the money if they pick share...and then actually share. If they pick steal even after you say this, you can just call them a moron and go home the same person you were before the show.

They should have the same game show and add in a box of kittens that gets dumped into a giant blender if either person chooses "steal". Y'know, to add in real consequences to the stealing other than "feeling bad", which many people (psychopaths) will not feel.

I have margaritas in the blender!

Nooo, don't get a room. ::sits back with her popcorn and pineapple juice with coconut rum::

Fittingly enough, this is the only thing the Blendtec Blender can't blend.

I second the thing about keeping their hands away from it. This sort of thing really needs to be fed mechanically. The risks are just WAY too high here. Safety first, come on!

I'd like to see them DESTROY a BlendTec Blender in one of those.

The Sift comments on the ad itself http://videosift.com/video/Bunnies-in-a-Blender-yes-they-ll-blend

I don't know. I am all for legal abortions, women's choice, all that. I think you are ignoring that pro-lifers really do believe that abortion is murder. It's lizard brain, non-thinking, visceral response.

I personally think this topic is not resolvable.

What is stupid is to feel this away about abortion, but then stop all education on how to AVOID pregnancy. That is the place to hammer home on, I think. You don't like abortion? Sure, I can see that. So fund the hell out of birth control.

But we know, ultimately, that we are the rational ones, don't we?

'Cept for one major difference. I stopped being a demagogue in middle school.

I wasn't commenting on the viewpoint. I was commenting on the tactic.

We'll keep having this fight until both sides learn to have honest discussions and get down to the real issues and disagreements behind it all. If public discourse can attain a sliver of intellectual honesty, then we all have hope.

Here's how controversies work -- this comment works for both sides of the issue.
This is why we will probably be fighting about this the rest of human history....
