Meshugger

I like the character designs a lot, they have that little extra that differentiates them from most games. The screens where there's action going on in the cubicle/office departments are lacking though. They are way too sterile to illustrate a working environment. Where are the motivators? Children's drawings? Posters? Coffee-cups? And protocols, sketches, notes, newspapers, etc...

Hay guise! Are there any developer walkthroughs available or any similar media?

Gears of War was so-so. Too bad Epic went for the teenage boom-boom route. At least they kept some humorous homo-eroticism, but it was a far cry from the magnificent "Unreal 1" back in 1998. I have little interest in GoW 2, maybe i'll pick it up when it is for 29,90 on the PC.

I think that i finally understand the artistic integrity of Bethesda. Todd Howard just described, by his own words, on how the Nu-kular catapult, called "fatman" worked on the soldiers from the Un-clave.

Nice. It's a lot more polished than the previous one. Will there actually be battles of this calibre, and how will they be implemented as well?

Hmm, the live-action part was pretty good at setting the mood. However, i found the droid in the kitchen a bit too anachronistic compared to the rest of the setting the video wanted to portray. Maybe i need to replay the previous fallouts again. For the rest of the part, urrr...where was the roleplaying? It looked like a CoD4-clone to me, filled with bullet-time captions and a lot of gore. My point is, while there was gore and plenty of it in the previous installations of the Fallouts, it was simple handled with a lot of self-irony, and to some degree, maturity. Think Itchy & Scratchy. Here, on the other hand, it is much more explicit and direct, almost like they try to make into a 'cool'-factor with the bullet-time effects. Strictly speaking, very juvenile and shallow. Think Michael Bay. I don't know what to make out of this really, there's also the issue of the camera-angle in third person, and the complete lack of any examples of how the dialogue-trees will be implemented and the use of skills as well.

Huh? Where did that come from? I didn't notice any battle of that magnitude in the trailer.

General The Medal

...and five threads. Yup, only the KotOR III-threads are more by account.

You played it wrong. You could sleep with her before making the choice in question. The moral of the story is, the more Dragon Age resembles The Witcher, the better IMO.

Now, now. No need for excuses for hanging around soulless hipsters and mangina leftists. Just make your own opinion and don't rely on others

I came to like The Witcher when i was in the situation of choosing between these two scenarios: 1) Siding with the villagers who wanted to kill the witch, who was accused for murder. 2) Siding with the witch. Choosing the first option would mean that the witch was killed, but the clergyman would then continue to keep the people in poverty and allow the slavetrading of children. Choosing to side with the witch would end the slavetrade and the power of the religious class, but it would also mean that you would have to kill almost everyone of the villagers and burn it down, since they sided with the clergyman. And there where several other similar situations in the game. While The Witcher certainly isn't a new Fallout or Planescape: Torment, it does however carry it's own weight quite well. Also, it's bleak vision of fantasy was a good punch in the face for the other "good vs. evil"-rpgs out there, especially compared to those made by Bioware.

This is coming from someone who thinks that NWN 1 is the best thing ever. L0llip0p

Someone remembers the 'Codex vs. Gaider meltdown.

The character to the right looks like he's just fresh from a black metal photo-shoot. -"Must...look....grim...and..frostbitten....horgh!"

Aside from Orcs, Sauron and Boromir, it looks like it will pretty good graphics (worse than Mass Effect though ) and animation. And that's about it.

The trailer is actually ok, but nothing mesmezing really.

Also remember that you should not just go out and by the first 1kW PSU that you can find. The important part isn't on how much the PSU can take in, rather the output it can achieve. For example, one of my earlier PSUs had an input of 425W, which should've been enough. However, it could only outuput about 250W to the system, leaving me with many spontanious reboots. Then i got a 550W, but it was a cheap model and the problems continued to be the same. Finally, i got a more expensive one with the same poweroutput (550W), and the problems stopped + my electric bill actually went down with a couple of euros per month. A good powersupply usually costs between 100-150

Which is probably a critical flaw. There are mental health specialists popping out all the time when something like this happens, saying that some individuals are simply beyond rehabilitation - they will never be normal, harmless members of the community. That's the force letting serial rapists loose on the streets after conviction, and it obviously doesn't work. This is what you get when you have lawmakers specialized at lawmaking instead of the matters those laws are supposed to regulate. True, true. Under finnish law, he would've been put into a mental hospital in the high-security, enclosed department (a.k.a. the radar-department), meaning that he will stay there throuhout the time he was sentenced to, and after that he would stay until he is cured. Practically meaning, the rest of his life. In the city were i live in, there's a mental hospital of the same sort. It's a bit secluded from the rest of civilization with the regular patients having their own buildings with a park and other recreational oppurtunities. Then there's the enclosed buildings for people with severe mental problems, each patient usually have a nurse or two around them for their own security. These people seldom get back to the 'regular' world. Then there's the high-security building in the far back, with metal-doors with electric locks, the windows are barred and the park is enclosed from the rest. The nurses are usually big, buffed males, equipped batons and pepperspray. Serial-rapists, psychopats and people like him roam around there. I know of only person actually getting out of there a couple of years ago. The guy had killed and dismembered his wife with an axe over a disagreement on the amount of coffee one should serve. 45 years later he was released, since he was deemed as not a danger to society anymore. Being over 80 years old, the guy lived in a flat for a couple of years before dying of old age. The neighbours remember him spending lots of hours at the local cafeteria, drinking a lot of coffee.

Yup, that's about it.

Just stop, you're too much already

Yeah, a part of me wishes that he would get some medieval inquisition-style treatment. But then i have to remember that the laws are made for the reason to rehabilitate the prisoner, and everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. Also, everyone knows that no matter what materalistic environment the prisoner is in, he's been robbed the most important thing to the human spirit: Freedom.
