General Discussion / Re: Atmospheric or Suspenseful Games

Neverwinter Nights for sure. The game by itself is typical DnD hack in slash. But if you go online, you can really sink your teeth into some Grade A Roleplaying servers.

The one I'm thinking of in particular is Escape from the Underdark. A roleplaying server taking place in the depths of the Underdark, where a group of escaped slaves have created a small refuge from the remnants of an old Gnomish city. Death is permanent without a ressurection, and magic is highly restricted so as not to alert the Creatures of the Underdark drawn by magic. The government is player run, and very cut throat. With DMs modifying the world around player actions and choices. Though the object of the game is to escape, which a grand total of 12 players have managed to do.

I was in special education for two years in middle school due to my atrocious handwriting. Seemingly I was left handed, then at some point either switched hands or was forced to switch hands by some crazy teacher.

I did take a internet IQ test at the age of 12, but all I can remember is being bummed out by the results.

Played through Planescape Torment again. Things get boring once you hit Curst. :/

Limestone. Contains tons of iron (At least in my experience). And has the classing grey look. Perfect for my aboveground castles.

Uh, I don't see it.

Compulsory or not, in isn't full-proof. Believe in God or not believing in him is based on accepting or rejecting evidence surrounding the issue (Including the testimony of other people who've done the same thing). And then choosing out of the options which one best fits to you.

To use your Apple comparison, it would be like you and your friend arguing if an apples color was Firehouse Red-171 or Firehouse Red-173

Nature certainly didn't intend for us to have the kind of nutritional control (and lack there of) we have these days. People with slower metabolisms probably where doing pretty good back in the day, storing fat longer and all that jazz.

Now they have to be buried in piano cases.

And yeah, while we're at it, Vector's evidence that prepubescent "sexual" experimentation causes moral corruption as opposed to being a totally normal and natural part of development

Probably the same scientists saying that sitting in front of a TV, manipulating a piece of plastic with your thumbs crafts you into a killer.

I believe it. Evolution's a clever bitch.

On topic, lots of kids play weird games when they're really little, because they don't know any better.  By the time they're 12 or so, they probably should have gotten all the sexual experimentation out of their system until college.

By the time they hit twelve, they're either on the cusp of, or already having puberty...

Actually when in comes to tracking them down, it has to deal more with the fact that they are forced to confirm their current address to the police every 3 months, and the fact that, say, should a child disappear in the town or neighborhood of a registered sex offender, you have a pretty good place to start your case.

The Gun issue is a whole 'nother can of beans. But suffice to say they're for recreation and self defense, not vigilante justice.

Oh yeah, no law or act is perfect. You've still go dumb old Rednecks in power in places like Louisanna trying to twist laws into their own little "Cultural Cleansing" tool. And the act sure doesn't protect kids from all the sick fucks out there.

That being said, when all is said and done. I still think it does more good than harm and totally for keeping the law in place, and instead trying to stop the misuse of it instead.

This is faulty logic as above : Rape being awful doesn't justify any abuse to the rapist. This is why there is justice, which is supposed to punish and cure . Moreover, American law have a weird notion  of sexual offender, as it is used on exhibitionist, prostitute, sexual battery (which can seem quite minor when you look at the punishment) and a lot of thing that aren't rape invalidating the argument further.

http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode42/usc_sec_42_00014071----000-.html

Unless the exhibitionism or prostitution where practiced on children, they shouldn't have too much to worry about.

The whole deal with registration isn't that it's to abuse or rehabilitate the Sexual Offenders, but to keep everyone around them aware of the possible danger they could pose. Oh, and of course if they do prowl again, it gives the local authoritys and FBI a much easier time tracking them down. Since most kidnapped kids turn up dead within 36 hours of getting picked up, that's a pretty reasonable request.

Edit: Changed my Wiki link to a link to the source given, as Phmcw noted, wiki sometimes isn't the most reliable source.

If only all my weird pictures could fit into a 100x100 box. D':

Edit: Give me a bit and I'll change it. Something about the current one.. It draws you in, and takes a piece of your soul as tribute for the trespass.

Edit Edit: Kay.
