  1. Yeah, sometimes I do. Especially when I have the light off, and the room is lit only by my monitor... it usually makes the game more atmospheric, when there's absolutely nothing else around to distract my senses from it (and if anything, the surrounding darkness only [i]adds[/i] to the suspense!)

  2. Another one I've never seen is Avatar. 

    I know, there can't be many people left who haven't seen it - but, it just wasn't on my "must-watch" list at the time. I was kinda curious about the 3D, but that was the only thing drawing me to it (and on its own, it just wasn't enough to convince me to go and see it).

  3. 1) Definitely not... I've always been horrible at flirting. (The only relationships I've ever had, including my current one, were where she made the first move)

    2) No, and I'm similarly horrible at picking up on whether or not someone else is flirting with me. 

    3) Absolutely not. I can't imagine even *wanting* to flirt with anybody other than my current partner!

    Dog years and cat years. This is a concept created for the truly stupid.

     

    The year itself doesn't change just because it's from the prospect of a different animal. Time is a constant. Different organisms have written in thier DNA a great many things. How they grow, thier instincts, thier appearance, everything including thier lifespan. These genetic codes vary, so the lifespan varies as well. No two people are actually generically coded to live for the same amount of time, never two species. These dog and cat years are for people who understand the basics of life. Dogs and cat's don't live as long as people, it's that simple. Seriously, how stupid do have to be not get that 13 year old dog is quite old just a because a 13 year old human isn't considered old?

     

    Still, if people insist they this metaphor to understand this incredibly simple premise, then I say why stop with just Dogs and Cats? How about Redwood year or Giant Tortoise year. Or on the other end of the scale, how an Apply year or a house fly year? Or maybe it would actually be easer to just understand that the human lifespan is a not fucking calendrer.

    Yeah, the whole "1 dog year = 7 human years" thing doesn't really work, because dogs don't age in the same way that humans do: they reach maturity at an earlier stage of their lifespan. Furthermore, the oldest dogs are considerably more than one-seventh of the age of the oldest humans: you sometimes get dogs living past 20, but you don't get humans living past 140!

    I've read that a more accurate equivalence would be: the first year of a dog's life is equivalent to 21 human years, and every subsequent year is equivalent to 4 human years. So, for example, an 8-year-old dog would be the equivalent of a (21 + 7*4) = 49-year-old human.

    I haven't played any Harry Potter game in the past though so maybe Hogwarts legacy would be a good start since it sets off at a time before Harry Potter existed and seems like the beginning of everything that happened up until the lifetime of Harry Potter.

    Quite possibly. I imagine it'll be helpful to be familiar with the main Harry Potter storyline before playing Hogwarts: Legacy (since the game will essentially be back-story to that) - but, it certainly won't be essential! I'm sure this game will be structured in such a way that anybody can pick up and play it, even if they aren't a fan of the series 😛 .

    News about Hogwarts legacy release has been going on for a long time now and sometime I seem to forget that the game is still awaiting release.

    It seems the game release was delayed at some point but hopefully it would be out in 2023.

    Yeah, it was delayed several times, I believe. 

    But hopefully, they'll put the extra time to good use, and deliver a very high-quality game!
