I see your point but I dont think gameplay should suffer in order to tell a good story.All the gameplay Ive seen from it can hardly even be called 'gameplay'.

It seems peoples perception on gameplay is faulty and full of ignorance.

This still really isn't a game. It's more like...flick the stick at the right time.

THAT'S IT!

Not a game my friend. Not a game.

Someone try to explain to me why this is a good game?

Let me just check off what's wrong with the game.

Bad English Voice Actors. Check.
Plot that kinda sucks. Check.
Simon Says Challenges and Frustrating Controls. CHECKITY CHECK CHECK!

The only redeeming quality in the game are the amazing life like graphics.

Now, I have the intention to play through the whole game, but so far I haven't enjoyed a minute of it. I usually enjoy adventure games, but there really isn't much appeal to this. I find the characters to be dry and uninteresting. The plot feels drawn out.

It really doesn't seem I'd be giving this game a second play through all though it seems that is what is intended.

Someone who likes this game please just give me the appeal. Please.

You know, I've heard quite a bit of concern about the BNP gaining a lot of movement inside of the UK and some Brtis having concern about that.

Yet, I know nothing about them. I am also not going to presume I know what is going on in the UK that will make me think why they are gaining power.

I'd like an explanation from someone who actually knows something about them and what is going on in the UK please.

Big surprise, Scott Brown is actually a moderate Republican unlike what most of the Tea Party people thought he wasn't.

Recently Scott Brown has voted Yea on Obama's "jobs" bill causing one of the biggest uproars in the blogger world. Some of which include harsh words like "RINO", "LIAR" and "I WANT MY MONEY BACK ASSHOLE!"

First, I am trying to wrap my head around the idea that people actually assumed he was a full on conservative. Did they even LOOK at his voting record when they donated money to him? Voted on Mass. Health Care which is essentially Govt. Healthcare. He's a social liberal in every kind of way.

Now he voted on something because they essentially took his idea and put it in the "Jobs" bill.

Now he's a traitor?

Really, the want his head and it's causing me to laugh up a storm.

Also, I think it's pretty unwise to donate to a politician you know nothing about who lives in a state you most likely know nothing about.

Morons.

Aren't you Australian?

FUCK YOU IT DOESN'T!

HOLY SHIT!

I got fucking $1700 extra just for book and out of pocket expenses in my tax refund! Nananananananana

Screw all you naysayers! The President is fucking awesome cause he got me 1700 dollars!

WOO MOTHER FUCKER! WOO!

The idea of "limited" or "small" government is a joke.

The United States is just not made that way and has been increasing it's government overreach since the 1950's.

First, I want to get this out of the way before the rhetoric driven people come in and screw this topic to hell.

Democrat does not mean liberal. They do have a lot of liberals, but there is also a make up of moderates and conservatives.

Republican doesn't always mean conservative (but most of the time it does) as there are some who would agree with a liberal on social issues such as abortion or same-sex marriage.

The focus of the two parties, however, have never been the idea of limited government. Any time they are in power they will use direct or indirect powers (as stated by the constitution) to get their agenda pushed through as soon as possible.

The idea that either party is in favor over smaller government is a lie that people tell themselves and for some reason it has been attached to the Republican party the most which I will touch on in a moment.

In a total of basics let's run through this real quick:
Democrats do believe in a stronger Federal Government, but I'd like to remind the conspiracy theorist of the nature of the stronger Federal Government. They believe that it's the governments job to protect civil liberties of minorities, protect the country, protect the poor and so on and so forth. In theory it sounds great, but in practice it ends up being poor and mismanaged due to a a few Senators or Representatives who are just dead wrong about everything. The can be asinine on a few things when trying to reach their goals and in the long run just muck up everything despite having the right intentions.

The Republicans believe in a limited Federal Government. Supposedly they believe that it is the governments job to stay out of the personal lives of the people. That the focus should be more on maintaining order, economic discipline and a promotions of free market and liberty. This falls apart when they come into power as their limited Federal Government really just means limited "Democrat" Federal Government. They are just as intrusive and short sighted as the Democrats can be. They favored wiretapping, some favored torture, intervention on what should be meaningless social issues, the neocons in the party are very pro-war and create just as many governmental control laws on issues that you would think they don't.

The only time the Republican party isn't intrusive is when it has to do with government oversight on businesses.

We have a movement for people calling for a limited Federal Government that kind of echo's the obviously wonderful days leading up to the civil war. Are these people wrong to ask for this? Yes and no. The reason being is that they go too far.

There HAS to be a strong Federal Government for this country to survive. We tried to make this country a balance of State and Federal Government, but it didn't work and failed miserably. Not to mention that once someone gets power that they are obviously going to do something with it good or bad.

This also sets a case for "Well that's Unconstitutional" which seems to be spread around this country more and more without a single provocation on what implied powers are.

A great example is this: Bush wanted to appoint a man named John Bolton to be the ambassador to the UN. The only problem is that John Bolton hated the UN and would love nothing more than to tear down the building in New York. He also believe that the United States was the only power in the world and the focus should be more on the allies rallying around what the US does.

For all intents and purposes Congress didn't exactly like this guy and said they wouldn't vote for him. So, in a congressional recess Bush appointed Bolton which means he is allowed to be the ambassador while under a one year review.

Was this a constitutional power under the president? No, but it wasn't unconstitutional either. Meaning the constitution didn't say that he COULDN'T do it. However, the constitution still applied and Bolton still had to be reviewed by congress for an entire year before they voted him out.

Obama is going to be doing the same thing with the person he wants to appoint to the UN. The only difference in this case is that the Republicans are just sticking it to Obama rather than the person being a poor choice. It's an implied power.

Anyway, the US is too big to limit itself like everyone wants and the whole limited government thing is a joke.

Instead of limited government what we need is more limited terms. Life long politicians are what are killing a lot of this country and we need harsher actions against those who do things that are wrong.

My two cents anyway.

Yeah, but people are actually starting to call the man a hero.

You know.

Tom totally boggarted my topic.

Listen to yourself.

You are sick and demented. Despite your opinion on the IRS no amount of anger and frustration is meant for an attack of this magnitude. The IRS aren't people who take your money and then laugh because you are taxed.

They are people just like you doing their job and this man tried to kill them. These people have friends and families and it's sick that you wish them dead as well.

This man shouldn't be lauded as a hero.

He is a coward.

Not a repeat of 9/11.

There seriously needs to be some updated rules for the Writing Forum otherwise it just seems like a waste of space for the BBS.

Always needed

Can someone translate this for me so I can understand it?

Dude, that's normal.

I'm 22 and technically I've never had a real girlfriend (my situation involves mediocre sex and a falling out between the two of us) and I'm okay.

I've reached a contentment in my life where I am okay without having a woman in my life. I mean I can actually get stuff done!

In all seriousness, you are 14 and you don't need to worry about these kind of things right now. It'll happen and you don't need to be too worried about it at the moment.

He...he looks like Jimmy Carter...

Something is really wrong here.

I didn't your post because I was generally uninterested when I read the "I'm in 11th grade part". Still, I got some advice for you.

Go out and make some fancy dinner reservations. Tell your girl that you will pick her up at a certain time even if she says no. Then go to a flower shop and proceed to order some nice roses for the date. When you receive your roses then kill the flower person and blame it on a customer in the store. Steal the customers car and ram it into a donut shop on 5th Ave. Start ripping your shirt off and single Cambell's Soup jingles and demand to have a bear claw inserted in your rectum. After that happens proceed to defecate all over the tables and run out screaming like a walrus. Sit on a public Bus and lick all of the windows. If someone asks what you are doing just tell them, "I'm practicing".

Get off when the first person jumps off the bus and follow them home. Kill their dog. If they don't have one, go ahead and buy them a dog and then kill it. Skin it and wear the fur as new underwear. Do some blow afterwards and pass out on someones boat.

It's the only real way to proclaim your love.

I JUST FUCKING CAME SEVERAL TIMES!

OH MY GOD MY DICK MAY FALL OFF BECAUSE OF MY JUNGLE FEVER!

I STARTED DRINKING AT 945 CST!

OH SNAP!

i just want you all to know that I lost you guys so mush and NigS are so awesome.

GO BBS!@

You know women jokes are not the cool thing anymore, right?

The show amuses me, but I have this deep sinking feeling that people are going to start imitating them.

That scares me.

Yes, I watch Jersey Shore.

The show is wicked retarded, but it has this pull that keep bringing me back and I'll most likely watch the second season when they all go to Miami.

I'd like to clarify my position on the show. I think all the people on it are stupid. I don't care too much about them other than they all do insane and stupid things. It's like MTV gave a blank check to the kind of people who just do not deserve to be rich and famous. Yet, here we are and I watch the show because of their antics. I don't connect with any of the people on the show, but I just...can't...stop...watching! I DON'T KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME!

Now that I've passed that little bout I'm sure I'll need to tell my therapist I'd like to point out one person on the show who is aptly nicknamed Snookie.

Why is she nick named Snookie? Cause she is a whore and accepts that fact. Okay, well she was the first one to ever "snook" or "kiss" a boy, but as the trends tend to go I think it's okay to call her a whore.

I have a problem with Snookie. Every time I see her on the show I want to punch her in the face (which actually happened). She is like everything I don't want in a girl rolled into one little tiny fake tanned goblin. She's the type of girl where I would sleep with her, but seriously question my morals after the act.

She has no redeemable qualities (none of the cast do, but she is negative in that department) and constantly craves attention and hookups thanks to her obvious lack of self-esteem. When "The Situation" called her fat in one episode I laughed my ass off. I mean, he's a dick, but her reaction is funny

"OH MY GOD! I USED TO STARVE MYSELF WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER!"

Well, Ms. Snookie, you are doing quite well for yourself now. Do I see some whale blubber on you?

Bah, lucky for me I don't have to worry about this show for a little while. Then maybe my therapist can shine some insight as to why I like this damned show.

I got a few point to bring to you:

-It's "you're"
-I'm not liberal.
-Yeah, I said I was taking a break, but the lure of arguing politics brought me back. Sorry.
-Oh and I'm in the military too, but that doesn't change the fact that you can be stupid.
