If it only weren't for that clause in Intimidate description. It says:
Your Intimidate checks are made against a target’s Will defense or a DC set by the DM. So more handwaving will happen. If the DM deems that this or that critter is immune, well, the DC is colossal.

Some of the powers aren't worded like they should be. Sometimes you're better off missing then hitting. EG Easy Target Hit: 2[W] + Dexterity modifier damage, and the target is slowed and grants combat advantage to you (save ends both). Miss: Half damage, and the target grants combat adva...

Doesn't that add a shitload of complexity to the game? How bout a bigger AC versus crits for such critters? We'll call it Crit Resistance +X. Every time it gets crit threatened, the confirmation AC is +X greater.

AvP2?? It can't capture the claustrophobia of AvP1 while playing marine, nor the alieness of the alien nor the sheer power of the predator. Get the Gold Edition, it comes with a really badass soundtrack.

Damn, that was so freudian. Yeah, i ment SS2. I played Bioshock recently and the game stuck in my mind. Too many paralels.

I've got to add Portal and Minesweeper. Both are waaaaaay fun, although Portal hasn't got the replayability of Minesweeper. I got 79 sec on expert.

Meat and meaty byproducts

Recently i got a job as a production manager in a meat factory. As such, i had to familiarise myself with products, including canned goods. That gives me the right to say: stay off the minced(ground) meat cans!! Seriously, you never want to eat meat from a can if chunks are smaller than inch by inch.
