Yeah, on the net, people have a positive view of dinosaurs. Much of that has to do with not actually being around the dinosaurs, but people overall like 'em. Nice colored flying prettynoise things that don't really get in your way, is the general sort of feeling I get from most folks talkin' about 'em. Also some they never see and that we more or less torture on a basically species-wide scale taste delicious, netting the general lot a bonus appreciation nudge.

Me, I like dinosaurs in general, but have an unwavering hatred of certain species. Any of them bigger than me, because they want to kill and/or eat me. Chickens, because they want to kill and/or eat everything. Stuff like that. Most people I've met that have more than a cursory appreciation of dinosaurs have similar reactions -- on the net, dinosaurs are alright, but certain ones...

... incidentally, about half that for the more informed individuals seems to be due to the fact that they're dinosaurs, and that's awesome. Which is a position I can't fault, really.

... yeah, people are going to look at you like you've got a mild case of insanity if you're wearing or carrying a jacket 'round these parts, most of the year. It's too hot, and too humid. 28°C is, like. Below tomorrow's high. And it's kinda' unseasonably cold ;_;

Y'know, I've never actually seen a pocket protector. Even among folks that use lots of pens and pencils and whatnot. Folks just stick the doodad they're using in their pocket. Sometimes the shirt pocket, sometimes not. Whatever's handy.

Like. Multiple decades now, good chunks of them spent on college campuses or around stereotypical geek types, and I've never actually seen one of those things in the wild. Bloody hell, I don't think I've even seen one on TV.

Honestly, I don't even know where you'd buy them. I've never noticed one in a store. Could get them online, I suppose.

Turtle power, comrade Iceball. Turtle power.

Huh. Can't you cancel out of the downswing with most of the priest's abilities? I certainly never just end the animation when I'm not against chaff, but especially with lurking dragon and a little charge that last swing adds a nice chunk of damage -- and if you're quick enough, you can immediately cancel into the grab or knockup (or whatever, really) once the hit connects and keep the pain train rolling.

E: Mind you, at least with the exorcist, I'm not sure I'd be using basic attacks at all in PVP, at least unless I caught the opponent in the crucifix wind or somethin'. They're pretty slow.

Got no intention whatsoever of playing PvP, though :V

What about M&M X? It's not a classic "tactical" combat, but it's party-based and you control every character...

M&M in general is party of a pretty different bloodline and style of game, compared to stuff like PoE. Looking at X, it doesn't really mess with the formula. The first-person dungeon crawler thing, party or not, is a distinct sort of beast. You've also been seeing a decent trickle of that sort of thing on handhelds, anyway.

Don't think so -- thing's got some basic file protection wuzzit, I think. Checks to make sure stuff isn't tampered with (or at least if it's still the right stuff), and that would probably count.

On the other hand, the game really isn't hard on the system at all, so it's pretty trivial to just mute the in-game music and kick on your own.

that hyphen shift tho
