The wonderful thing about skepticism, at least as embodied in contemporary American Conservative narratives, is that it has absolutely no self-awareness. You've recycled the same tried and true tactics for decades across the board, but you actually get offended when we point that out (Tobacco *is* Bad, news at 11) Please peruse the following article - http://www.wunderground.com/education/ozone_skeptics.asp?MR=1 The good old Ozone layer "debate."

I've been playing Regulus since September 08, and I'm seeing a bunch of threads about him, so I thought I'd toss up a guide on how I play him. Next time I play (might be a while, since Dragon Age is like crack) I'll see if I can't put together a decent replay or two. Assume Cataract 3v3 unless noted otherwise.

@ Frogboy Personal skepticism isn't the issue. Your beliefs are totally valid, and comparing you or anyone else in this thread to the tobacco lobby would be stupid, at best. On a policy level, however, several of the institutions and organizations which, coincidentally, profess skepticism about global warming share some or all composition, financial structure, and strategy with the tobacco lobby of the last half century. I know that's inconvenient, and it mig

I like how Mumblefratz has comprehensively pwned this thread. Even Psychoak seems more lovable than usual.. Thanks for the excellent research, M. Two children playing with matches start a fire. The house begins to burn. One child runs to get a bucket. The other insists that there is no fire and he didn't start it if there were. When the first child comes back with a bucketful of water, the second child trips him. <p

Reply to DA strategy guide in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Observations - Warp Area might make you invincible for a brief period but it doesn't make you immune to stuns. In light of that it's the lamest DA skill, imo - It will always be worth putting a point into Demon Speed early to get you up to 6.3 - Swap allows you to piggyback on enemy ports to enemy-controlled territory. Swapping a DG porting home is a bad idea unless you know you can beat the channel because it leaves you at their crystal.

Good commentary, ntropy. Kira and I were definitely playing with a budget compared to our opponents - I was consistently an item or more down on Dark_Satana, because we were focused on saving for upgrades. If they had been able to out-DPS us it might have been an issue, but that wasn't going to happen with these DGs. I wasn't looking for this, but it just occurred to me that I don't think NinjaAlk and Dark_Satana were stacking their priests. I'll chec

hmm, ok. In order of appearance 1. Awesome news about the desync, hopefully this solves it 2. The graveyard buff is nice on paper, but I still don't think people will be using it. There needs to be a secondary buff imo, make it temporary, but a % health/mana increase or a % xp/gold gain increase on respawn would at least make it worth looking at 3. Horn of Battle really didn't need a buff - it's already the go-to minion favor item. K
