This was probably the best idea ever. I talked to so many people at work today that I had never met before just because they heard about "the dude with the mohawk".

The GTA games are one of those games...
They are like a 6-step program for me.
1.I play heavily for a quite bit of time
2.I get eventually frustrated w/ a mission b/c the lack of autosaves w/in a mission force me to restart a long-winded multiple-piece missions and keep failing every time I seem to retry it.
3.Take a break/vacation far away from the game for a period of time.
(could be maybe for days; weeks; or maybe months - who knows)
4.End my GTA vacation and go back to playing some more GTA
5.Finish that mission that was annoying me and jump for joy.
6.Go back to step #1.

I just started this game and I have a question about paradigms. What are some good ones to use? For offensive paradigms is it worth it to have two commandos or should there only be one and have the other two as ravangers? The only reason I say this is because it says the commando paradigm makes the attacks and magic more stronger.
I also like having a medic constantly though, but will that hurt my offense during battles?

The game is brilliant, I don't think I have ever enjoyed something that is obviously going to give me a stroke so much. It's getting to the point where I now run everywhere with my shield up and people at work are starting to talk.

Some of the non-killing bits were pretty disturbing too though, like the apparent influence of culture-based (and/or government/media sustained) ignorance and motivation on the subject, and the subsequent willingness to mercury poison both the children and people who thought they were buying other kinds of meat. (which by the looks of it has hopefully been reduced a lot)
I'm also in awe of the footage they got of a dolphin blowing bubble rings under water. It caught my attention because I like doing that stuff too, at the bottom of a pool. The control and precision blew my mind. I bow to the clearly superior being.
I'm glad to see it won so many awards, including the Oscar. http://www.thecovemovie.com/

it's been quite some time since I last posted here. my software consulting work has sent me to Japan, the UK and parts of the US since mid-January. rather than sift through many nws postings made by others these past several months, I figured I share what I casually maintain. although, for some, nothing is new over at http://decorus.hinjang.com/ I'm certain a few others may find something new and to their liking. there are five (5) pages of content so there's more than the front page.
