If it truly has a type of co-op campaign ala Borderlands, I might give it a chance. But off-hand based on its origins I'd guess it'll instead be too "online" and "raid/FPS" oriented for me or hubby. Wait and see, with little expectations, sort of title. Still, hubby and I could always use another BL co-op type game. There aren't very many of them.

Skyfall - Well crafted, well acted. I found it somewhat dull in the first half (not because of lack of "action", just felt bored), but became more interesting later as characterizations picked up. That Javier sure can play creepy/weird bad guy. Still...I'm getting a little tired of the mega-brooding, non-smiling Batman-Bond, although Craig is still awesome. Maybe he'll smile more in the next one.

I don't have Steam installed in "Progam Files" directory, since Win7 ... don't know if that changes anything re: that. But once I'm in offline mode, it stays that way/never asks to go online. I do get the "Go online (or) Start offline" initial box when I start up Steam...I say offline and it's fine. Works even if the 'net cable is unplugged. (there's the box that claims it's connecting to Steam while starting but it's not..).

Could you expand on that? I use offline mode all the time and find it not unreliable at all, since I don't care about "Steam achievements." Do you mean the auto-patching when you do decide to go online for something? That's a pain at times. Or something else? (edit- oh wait, I seem to remember someone elsewhere, in the past few months, saying Steam kept asking to go online to confirm they wanted to go offline, even when already in offline mode, or something odd like that. Maybe that's what you're referring to. I've never had that issue and hadn't heard of it before then) ...that all said, I'll be choosing the GoG version of PE. I don't mind using Steam when I have to, if it's a game I really want, or for using it to try out the very cheap sale games or indie games, but when I have a choice, I'll purchase a non-Steam version of a game.

^^ lol, too true....at least for some of us. ...also, none of my many past cats would have been trainable for this. At all. The expression on the cats face from about 35seconds is hilarious.

I personally think we have been spoilt with weekly updates. You can also see it this way: There might be things from Arcanum that could be implemented in Eternity. It's only a few days 'till the next update anyway! Weekly updates are certainly a higher frequency than I was expecting...so I'm fine with them using one, once in a while, to showcase something else besides game development. I'm not really into Arcanum myself, but I think it's fun to listen to the commentary anyway.

The town guards in Sanctuary do odd things, which inspired a stupid (but short) music video using bits of that and some other filler bits. eg, I'm still weird and I apparently like to prove it in public. Also, I could probably use to stop playing this game, but at this point, with my lack of interest in playing most other games (plus hubby pestering me to play) it's become a minor "don't wanna think" addiction. Odd combo of often being slightly annoyed at the game yet can't stop messing around with it....

Becoming really annoyed with YouTube/Google asking me if I want to use my real name/searchable name (or whatever) on YouTube (instead of my "hard to read nickname"), every time I login. Especially when there's not a true "NO. LEAVE ME ALONE" option. I've hit Ask Me Later 25+ times now. Makes me not want to login/use it anymore. Can you make it stop?

I think when people say that, what they mean is Bruce Willis isn't a Stallone or Schwarzenegger type.

Good grief, our backyard is a winter-long mess. Seriously. A mess. I should really clean it up and do some work with it. ....maybe later.

The first Die Hard is the only one in my DVD collection. The others were all "eh, it's ok."

Whats your story hooks
LadyCrimson replied to greenskin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I tend to notice/get wrapped up into character side stories a lot more than the "main plot." Most of the time I couldn't even tell you what the main plot of a game was, but I will be able to tell you what a fave character's backstory, side quests, and story arcs are. So for me the hooks are well written characters/companions that fall into my personal area of interest. ...of course, some of this could be because so many main plots in games (and books, and movies) are overly familiar to me by now that they're kind of like background noise. -
I don't think I'd visit an ex in this case either, at least not without calling to say you're coming first. But I don't know what the situation is between you and this ex, so .... It's just another day for us, as always. We're madly in love but we're not very stereotypical romantic people. Wining and dining, gifts, occasions etc...not our thing. We just cuddle on the couch or toss spitballs at each other on a daily basis, whatever fits our mood. P.S. Not that I mind the holiday existing or others having fun with it or anything.

Sounds like the GoG SS2 already has a hi-res patch/mod included, or something. Other mods, the fansites are being hammered to death. Heh. Might get it when the excitement dies down a bit. Still have my original disc and don't care about most mod stuff, but nice to have a digital copy with hi-res attached to it.

Project Eternity Documentary
LadyCrimson replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
So...did they ever imply what type of documentary this would be? I don't recall. eg, a serial type of documentary that occurs before game is released, or an hour long type doc film that ships with the game? -
We chose to watch Flight. We liked it quite a bit, from the drama/topic to the brief humor bits (John Goodman is awesome). Great soundtrack, too. And the plane crash part near the start was pretty dramatic/well done. But the plane crash scene in Cast Away is still the most affecting one I've seen, maybe because it seemed more "personal".

XVid works/looks fine most of the time, but with long videos (15+ minutes) the amount of compression I tend to need to keep the file size smaller so I don't have to upload 500+MB doesn't work well with YouTube I guess. Or something, I'm no codec expert. If I ever get into doing a lot of vids for a game again, I might try the other.
-
No gaming tonight ... ordering take-out from a nearby Chinese place we haven't tried - it would be nice to finally find one we like (this city is like a black hole for Chinese food ... the best is merely "tolerable"). Then going to watch either Flight or Skyfall. Haven't decided.

VirtualDub is great for simple gaming videos. Still use it myself. Do you happen to know if the x264vfw compression result in a smaller file size respective to quality than Xvid? Does YouTube like it better? I've always used the xVid-mpeg4 codec for game/YT stuff because I'm used to it and it doesn't have any listed limitations...never bothered to figure out what settings would give similar results with the other codecs available in my VDub list.

Post limit. New thread perhaps?

There is no such thing as an adequate shield in BL2. ...seriously, so many things can take off your shield in one hit, no matter how much shield you have, to a point I often think the game is "cheating" in that regard, heh. I tend to place a bit more emphasis on high health instead...not that I won't take high-shield on top of that, when I can get it, of course.
-
Agreed. ...there's a place for Diablo like item workings (which I have nothing against, personally), but games like PE isn't that place. I don't want a game - or combat - that's "loot/gear based" in that sense. I went through BG1 a couple times with nothing but rather plain bows and non-magical arrows, for example ... that type of gear-play ability should remain.

Balancing Stealth vs Combat

It's that time again - post limit.
