Anyone have any recent knowledge/opinions about the upcoming Nuclear Union by 1C? From screens, description, and a 2012 Gamescom gameplay trailer It sort of looks like a cross between Stalker and (Beth's) Fallout.

Just remember, there is no Vulcan death grip.

I refuse to play more PoE until they have a finished game.

Oh for crying out loud.

Aw, the 49er's lost. I didn't watch that much of it...we were playing BL2 and I'd flip it to the game to check the score every 20 minutes or so. I guess there was a power outage, heh. Did watch the last 10 minutes....that was fairly interesting. Thought the Niner's might make it, but nope...not quite. After lunch, will be heading to the DMV. Joy.

Even Blue Oyster Cult knew it was Godzilla.

Heh, yeah, I just realized that a few minutes ago. The tv list said 11-3 so I thought the game might start at noon or something. I had to scroll further to see there was more. Seems like when I was a kid pre-game stuff was only about an hour. 4+ hours? Silly. Ah well, gives me time to play a game for a while.

When is kick-off? So far it's just pregame stuff. Bah. I didn't even realize they were in the Superbowl until a few days ago. ...making some popcorn.

Oh, I like that the option is there. I just don't tend to do it the first time, myself.

Not normally a US football person, but it's the 49er's in the Superbowl, so I must watch. Or at least, try to.

I think it would be neat to have accents that didn't sound like they came from anywhere familiar. eg, they were completely alien to Earth. That would be more fitting. Of course, I realize how difficult that would be to truly pull off, so it's not something I expect. Whether they're "old" or "newer" Earth accents, they're all still Earth accents, and thus always remind me that the fantasy world is of Earthly creation. So as I said before, as long as I can understand them and the voices themselves don't annoy me for personal reasons (usually because of tone/pitch or too much slang), I'm cool.

I definitely like playing a game, the first time, in at least somewhat of the intended order quest wise. I sometimes deviate a bit while exploring out of the way nooks and crannies, and that's fine but I like getting story information in order (main story at least) ... assuming it's a game that benefits by that. I tend to think most story/chr rpg's do.

My caffeine consumption has been skyrocketing the past month or so ... attempting to scale back. Typically I just have 2 or 3 cans of diet Dew a day and that's about it. Over months however, or during stress, or obsessive game playing, it can go up and up. Sometimes it goes back down again, sometimes ... not. The sad thing is, it's not so much the caffeine (tho that's definitely part of it) but that in general, I really don't like the taste of many drinks. Can't drink most fruit juice very often, don't like tea, don't like milk (as a drink drink, it's more a food), don't like booze, don't like most other soda flavors (diet or sugar). *drinks her water, grumpily*

I like the firecats. The type that are huge and set fire to everything they touch as they stroll along. They don't even have to be "evil" ... it's just who they are. (something smaller would be interesting too...harder to see/catch/stop)

End of Watch .... I thought it would be better. A little too piecemeal for me. Also, the occasional videogame-like FPS camera shots - probably not the best choice. The acting was fine/good, however.

I don't generally care about such things in games myself, but don't mind if they're in there as optional things people can do to make money, gain fame, what have you.

Sniping in FNV worked really well, indeed. And yes, getting one of the human companions also made things much easier. To the point where some people didn't like to use them.

Haha, that would be awesome! Need a brief break from BL2 (sorry, hubby) so I'm currently driving virtual tractors around a farm. It's kind of awkward. Think I may try to finish off Torchlight2 instead, which I never completed.

You know how sometimes guys say things like "I'm so glad I'm not a woman?" This is one of those times where the reverse applies.

This Means War (it was free) ...I must have been in the right mood, because I found it silly fun. Stupid, but fun. I kept having three thoughts while watching: --Does Chris Pine wear contacts? Are his eyes really that blue when not filming? --Reese Witherspoon gets more beautiful as time goes by. --Where have I seen Tom Hardy before? (I finally realized I was thinking of ST:Nemesis)

Haha! Classic kitty.

I'm sorry to hear that, Shryke. Feeding my cats, then time to curl up with a book and fall asleep in the pages.

After some review/thought, since I believe the original purpose of the thread creator has been achieved, I'm going to keep this one closed. Time to move on/take a break I think. Those who wish to continue debating pros/cons of desired or announced game mechanics in PE can either join in one of the many already existing threads in the Gameplay & Mechanics forum or create a new topic for it there.

Dang it, I wasn't at all interested in purchasing the Aliens: Colonial Marines game by Gearbox/Sega ... until I found out Michael Biehn will be doing some voice work in it. I don't know how much tho...I saw that trailer where he has a few lines but for all I know he has 25 total lines in the game ... I should probably wait for the "Michael Biehn's lines" video. I'm sure someone will make one. It would be kinda cool to see what story they came up with, but I don't think the gameplay would be entirely my thing.

I like the ears, personally. Altho I admit they seem a bit out of place (the length) because of the overall human appearance/proportions outside of that. Still....I like the ears. They make me think of bobcats. I think he's trying to mind-meld with that blade, to get it tell him who used it to murder someone.
