You'd move up to beef if you actually got on Skype dawg. But alas the Bears were more important...

If I were a Bears fan, I would have been on Skype in a chipper mood.

Alas, I am a Cowboys fan, and I was not. They got rocked last night, and it was not fun to watch.

You just told me in a PM that you're a bears fan and you think Cutler is "dead sexy".

make up your mind.

And Ashley laughs at both teams, as she's a bay area fan.

[Taboo]

Sports? Bahahaha.

But in all seriousness I had to use the words "knife penetration" in the Miranda thread today.

Art, deal with jerks!

Nihlus, dawg, you need to get your ass on Skype. We had eight people on last night. Maybe krukow if he promises to behave.

When I talked about the "gastarbeiter" stuff, I was pointing at the eastern european girl that decides to live (and love) here. It's kinda interesting that Germans don't get forced to work for low pay anywhere in this world - except in their own country. It's even more odd that the "gastarbeiter" story is some stuff invented in Germany exclusively - almost. Heard of other countries going after that policy as well, but, in difference to German policy, pay well.[/quote]

Not sure for "policy", I guess all countries have this situation somewhat unique, but from what I was able to gather, people from less successfull EE countries migrate toward more successful ones and takes jobs native populace refuse to take (very low pay, mostly because of that). Some of local populace either migrates towards "richer" areas with better salary or into foreign countries where they became gastarbeiters themselves.
Well, we are deep in schitt and according to my depth meter, we only going deeper.

In very short words: things go south in Germany pretty fast. Thanks to the 1%. Did you know that less than 500 households hold more money than the lower 50% of German population?[/quote]

Where things aren't go south? And we still see how countries (well, governments) spent exorbitant sums on useless things. I'm not if this is spoor or true, but I've read that Greece wants to spent 30 mln bucks on Formula-1 related things. If I were a German, I'd probably fell from chair reading that, srsly.

ashley doesn't care if you romance her or not. She still recognizes your talent and is your friend if you aren't shacking up with her, just like any person worth any merit should act, and that's how I identify with her.
[/quote]

Nice statement, but this part is a bit... ehm... "hypothetical", since as I've seen it in ME3, Ashley was portrayed very poorly. So we "suppose", based on impressions we had after ME1 that she could act like that.
Of course, all this is relevant only if nothing was lost in translation, according to today's trend with me.
Sorry of it was.

Guy? Oh, I see now - I know Victoria Ashley secret - she's a guy!
Sorry, really couldn't resist.

In some story-plot-holes thread, when somebody pointed me that things I consider holes "happened off-screen"...


[quote]BP93 wrote...

Sorry, but fictional characters should not be treated as real individuals. I think you need to get out into society more if that's really your line of thought. They're created for entertainment purposes and that's where the line should be drawn. [/quote]

Maybe "treated" is wrong word, but I'm too tired to pry more appropriate one from my memory, so I'll stop on one floating on top - "to sympathize". Not sure it is more appropriate, given recent "lost in translation examples", but regardless.
Plus, some characters, in more or less pseudo (or not so pseudo) historical books (so you can call them fiction, to some extent) may be a compilation of real persons, or "based on actual person", even if disclaimer state opposite. Or totally fiction book, but with certain character(s), naturally based on real person, just placed into fictional environment, for any reason, from friendly jest, request of that very person or any other.

Next thing you know we'll be seeing court cases where defendants argue that because "so and so" did so on TV, they thought it was acceptable in real life.

Doesn't work that way. [/quote]

It haven't been in court, but look at those very boards when you trying to explain people that certain things are a way too unrealistic for even sci-fi.

On here I can add only this:


[quote]krukow wrote...

Dude, that happens all the time. Where do you think the "don't try this at home" warning came from?[/quote]

"In our childhood we weren't that stupid."


[quote]BP93 wrote...

It's fiction based on traits from real life taken from a variety of sources and compiled into one.
[/quote]

To be honest I think that most characters presented in game are rather... flat and single-sided (Geralt is book-based character after all), so there are not so many "multidirectional features" usually inherent to people IRL.

Not today, but classic works held educational value. [/quote]

Still does, only if presented in correct way and in right time.

I know too, that's why I don't post. Not with my short fuze temperament.

Whatever you say is your oppinion, BP93.

I say some fictional persons have far more pleasant characters that most of the guys (and girls) I know IRL. Compared to the issues of Liara, Miranda, Jacob 'n' such, those people have -real- issues they're unwilling or too stupid to solve. Period.

Sure thing: ME games are designed you, the player, solve problems.

Also sure thing: it's creepy if one says fictional characters are far more enjoyable than real persons. Well, usually they're designed to be entertaining, while R/L persons have their own lives. Still, I rather have a dozen fictional characters in my mind than a friend that burdens me all day with his issues and unsolved problems. Friends should be more than that.

And women ... in Germany? Don't get me started.

Of course - you can burden them with yours!

Well, besides pair of Austrian cuties I've seen, other were bearing significant features, indicating their strong relations to Slavs.

^ I wasn't talking about looks, Rudy. Character - that's the one ^^

[BP93]

BringBackNihlus wasn't Skype'ing with you all last night because he attempted to connect to the rest of you but the connection was intercepted by the Bears defense.

Come on, let me oversimplify things a bit!
Plus I was speaking about that too. You ladies too... what's the word... Nah, I won't remember it today, let's say our girls generally value families and family values more.

Well, whatever. I think there's no "next GF" after my current one, so I don't really have to deal with that
"Enjoy your life, have as much fun as possible and die before you get too old to enjoy it." - that's what one of my friends said. He's 25, guard and knows how to have fun

As long as his fun does not intereferes with other people, I have no objections to his point of view.

Well, not everything he does is okay in my eyes, most stuff is, however.

Let's say, he's one of those guys who simply don't want to get bound. Why should he, if the girls are all attracted to him? The only "no-go" is: some girls cheat on their bfs or husbands. I can't support that kind of fun.

I'm sure Ash would agree with this one.

Well, Data, on that part we agree.

It's a wonderful line. Ashley approves

I'm sure it's probably been mentioned in passing but I missed the bun in ME3

[hotdogbsg]

And that armour too, come to think of it.

I don't think her personality changed noticably.

[krukow]

I never use the white and pink armor for her in ME1, so I don't really miss it.

And I like the blue...

[hotdogbsg]

The blue was cool, I liked it too but would have been a nice touch if the traditional armour had been an option.

Well, given lack of any personality in ME3, it's hard to say.

Although blue colour somewhat follows me through my life, I'd prefer Colossus in ME1 or something Khaki afterwards.
