  1. really? other than the lockpick thing, we got virtually zippo from that interview. HA! Good Fun! Some of us enjoy interviews for reasons other than trying to glean some new micro-piece of update information.
  2. I'm not a fan of The Sims, but some twisted part of me still wants that Pets expansion. Yet I refuse to pay $40 for just that (plus $30 for base Sims3). I don't keep up with Steam sales, maybe it's gone on sale, but every time I've looked it's still $40. I think it's about time for me to grab Torchlight2.
  3. Nice interview, good questions, fun read. Paw up.
  4. Oh trust me, that tune will change when you get older. I used to be the same way. People told me that sort of thing all the time, but my tune never changed. But then I've always been an odd duck.
  5. Ah, I get it now. Noticed that Netflix has 2nd season of BBC's Sherlock (don't know how long it's actually been available, haven't checked in ages). I know what I'm doing later.
  6. *scratches head* ....wondering what you'd actually try to use besides water. Milk?
  7. I only do that/have that mentality in games where it feels like you have to because everything in the stores is priced out of your range from the getgo, unless you sell everything. (1 plain iron longsword, 100,000 gold pieces...and I have 4000. wtf?) ...so limited inventory is fine if the monetary/store system is also fair. Otherwise, gimmie big inventory space.
  8. Don't know about the biggest, but I remember noticing that Rage was something like 21GB to download from Steam (that's compressed, of course...it took up more HDD space than that), which was the largest I'd dealt with. But I don't DL tons of games so maybe if I did that wouldn't seem unusual.
  9. More familiar with Guthrie's rendition...but they're both good. To this day the line now first brings to mind Robin Williams and the movie.
  10. Nothing. Is it Friday yet?
  11. 95% blank slate, 1% brief, generic background, 4% bits of your past life maybe coming out during your dialogues with npc's. eg, "I was married, once. Didn't work out well." with little to no elaboration.
  12. I'd be a lousy mother and I'm definitely not the caregiver type (unless it's a pet cat....). Don't mind some "save the kids" sidequests and such, but overall ... completely not interested in playing some deep, parental/mentor figure. If one of the companions has some issues in that regard, however...as a story/quest arc...that might be fine. Just don't drag "me" into it.
  13. Quoting myself from the Update post (because I'm that lazy at 830am): ....eg, I love exploration, but there is such a thing as too much pointless, empty, "exploration potential." And on the other side, there's also such a thing as too much focus on density. I don't want to encounter stuff every 20 feet. When I want that, I'll play an action-rpg. imo.
  14. Any proofs? http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/109664-project-eternity-interview.html

    Yeah...I was born a little too late. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY
  16. Caught up on a couple TV shows. Probably going to go to sleep early again. The start of winter tends to make me want to snuggle in bed... Also, I ate too many of these: (yummy....)
  17. Is it good? Trailer looks rather preachy. Well...if you went in not knowing anything at all about the situation or the real-life person it's highlighting, it's an ok action-drama, with some effective moments, but also some cardboard thin characters and side-arcs that go nowhere. If you do know more, then it might seem a little too exploitative and unbelievable. I didn't find it all that preachy, however.
  18. Most of this thread puts me in mind of that cartoon that goes something like: "Someone on the internet is WRONG and I must fix it!"
  19. Single-player games .... I used to have this big book of baby names, with all kinds of unusual ones in it. So I'd just rifle through the book until I came across one that appealed. But these days I tend to be lazy and just pick names out of thin air...usually descriptive of the character portrait or chosen attire, or something boring like that. Or by gazing at my desk and going "Pen, calculator, clock, glass of water, pile o' bills ... Billabil, yeah, that's it."
  20. Today as I drove home after getting some take-out dinner, I was singing to some Katy Perry song at top volume whilst stopped at a traffic light. Pounding the steering wheel, bopping the head around, probably looking like an idiot, all of that. Then another car pulled up in the lane next to mine. He had the same song/station on in his car and we started bopping in time together, waving to each other. It was like out of some movie, and it was glorious.
  21. Machine Gun Preacher. 300, Gamer, this movie....I'm starting to wonder if Gerard Butler has more than one expression.
  22. This has pretty much been my experience of most gaming forums for the past 15+ years. I definitely don't think it's that men over-react more, only that there are more males on gaming forums. Which is why I tend to give my opinion (if I have one to say) and then leave the topic. 9 times out of 10 it feels like a waste of my time to do any more than that. Not that I didn't spend early years on the internet doing it anyway. But after a while, for me, there's just all kinds of other stuff that I'd rather spend my time doing. And to restate my record: I don't mind sexy armor being in the game (male or female). I just want variety. I don't always want to feel like my character/s are ready to go for a romp at the beach, or to be wearing fur bikini's in the snow. There needs to be plenty of options, that's all.
