I have a friend whose friend left her 16 year old cat off at the Humane Society (no kill) and I lost a ton of respect for her. Actually I don't feel like I've fully resolved my feelings about it because I don't want to think about it.

What? No Kill Bill?

There was no * kill option... just discard. I hope that will be ok.

I thought he meant no kill city as in no more murder. I was like, LA, no murder? Good luck with that shit.

In the earlier days of the site, there was no kill or personal queue, just discard. Videos that didn't get sifted got auto-discarded or you could invoke discard yourself if you wanted to free up a queue slot. I personally don't ever use the invocation anymore, but as jonny points out, there are still some practical applications. Also, I believe discard is the only way to get rid of a sift talk or blog post - I don't think kill works.

Shaga... when you consider things like speed runs, no kills, or other handicaps that are chosen by the player rather then the game, it definitely hits a nitch because most people would call it boring and tedious. Some people like this form of challenge, and it may have nothing to do with public appeal or recognition.

I don not even see the appeal of no kill / violent interaction run throughs, it just seems tedious and boring. I like the dynamics of stealth... and getting caught and having to outsmart or out violent your foes. You see people wanting to stealth/no kill with any game that has some sort of stealth element. New Vegas was not made for pure stealth although its open world, I mean scorpions seem to know you are around much before you can even see them on screen... and most recently in the newest Deus Ex; it was clearly made for some level of violent interaction as displayd with the boss levels, plus it was pretty linear so I do not know what the appeal is.

I mean I hope someone takes on the Thief series again in a game engine like Oblivion because I think a real stealth game would require a larger world, large open spaces and a lot of fucking patience. The last attempt was good except for the supposed open world part.

If you want to play a real Stealth game play Operation fucking Flashpoint. I dont even like war but that game was amazing but even then you probably cant stealth nonviolently to the end.

Hmm, can you beat New Vegas without killing anyone? Including creatures?

*spoilers*

I've seen speed-runs that involve very little killing, but they do kill House. If you work for house, he makes you kill the BoS. If you work for the NCR, they make you kill house. It would be ironic if working for Caesar gives you some path with no killing. edit: Caesar makes you kill BoS.

Hmm, so here's someone claiming to have done it, but they count putting House in a paralyzed state while he waits to die of an infection as "no killing". The game even gives you the same karma penalty as if you'd killed him. House even asks you to kill him immediately, making this form of death less preferable. I call BS. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24221124&postcount=9108

I know Continental Portuguese, not Brazilian Portuguese, but here goes:

- Unintelligible.
- Come... Not gonna get any closer, gonna wait.
- No, you go (Unintelligible again, the guy speaks too fast for me to understand).
- Take, take, take the money, damnit... I'm not going below, man.
Hey kid! Hey kid! (Expression like Oh shit!)
The bug is coming! The bug is coming, dude! The bug is coming...
And he charges, son of a whore... And he charges... How do I duck?
- No ducking, he just runs.
- Is the bug coming or not? The bug ran away, man. Is the bug coming or not?
- Unintelligible.
- The bug is coming! Oh no... Killed me, man, tore my head off.
- You have to take revenge.
- Eh, take revenge...
- Awesome.
- Take revenge, man.
- You take it for me.

No no no, killing unemployment at this time would be just as immoral as starting it in the first place. I was making two points I guess, let me be more precise

First I think the way the unemployment system is wired is completely unfair as many people are paying into a system that very few people benefit from. So as a solution for helping out of work people or getting the economy back on its feet, it does a poor job imo. However, in these bad times, to take it away from people who were expecting it is just as wrong, kicking a man when he is down so to speak. If I were to phase out unemployment, you would do it when things are good not when they are the worse they have been in decades.

With that said, it is such a flawed system that to expand it seems misguided. In the places that I have been working at now, most every single person is a contract laborer. Not but a single person in thousands that I have ever met would be covered by unemployment but every single one pays its tax...it is wrong. If I had more money (I save lots) from my last job I would have a significantly better safety net.

Moreover, this safety net doesn't protect the most fragile members of society. People who are low skills and work multiple part time jobs, contract laborers, and the elderly who work part time to subsidies their income, and more. The most exposed in society are in the kinds of jobs and positions that are not covered by unemployment. The people whom are usually covered are decently educated full time office workers, which are a small minority of people.

This isn't a case of me wanted to yank the carpet out from people, not at all. Like I said, I would never want to eliminate a program like this during a time like this. However, I would also suggest that it doesn't help as many people as one might suppose, and surely doesn't help those people who are at the bottom.

My ORIGINAL point is that there are much better things we could be focusing on. We still have 2 wars we are spending trillions on, a new health care plan that is going to cost a trillion or 2, and an out of control fed bailing out their wall street counterparts. I feel as if more good could be done getting those things under control than addressing a program that meets the needs of less than 2/3rds of those who payed for the same help( I found the real number and 2/5s of unemployed people qualified for unemployment in 2009, so at that time, a minority was being sponsored by a majority, I suspect the same is still true).

Your video, "No Kill I" - No Kill I, has made it into your personal Highest Rated Videos listing. Congratulations on a job well done. For you contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

eeer ... no.

*kill

erm. no. just no.

*kill

What you don't get,MG, is the agenda-Why do those, who control governments-at-large ignore the people? Because they do what they will, with a view to amassing power and control, part of which is putting ineffectual assholes in positions of influence-but they aren't ineffectual, are they??.....They appear to want a once great nation, whose culture and language is diluted, and whose borders are porous and they will use all the useful idiots (many here)to scream foul, with words like "racist", "left and right", "liberal", "neocon".....while nothing but talk gets accomplished for the good of mankind.....suits their one-world goals.....They could give a fiddlers fuck about any lasting repairs, they want to break it down, and fast....haven't you noticed the insanity lately?? Gonna get a lot whackier.....

Buncha wankers, follow the leaders, no, kill them all!!!
