Of course, when there are no new users, we're still retreading the old ground. Of course.

First two episodes of 2nd season of "Sherlock:" pretty cool. Liked Hound better than the Adler one...so far think the 1st season was a little better. First two episodes of CBS series "Elementary:" it's ok. Watson being a woman didn't annoy me quite as much as I thought it might, but I'm still not really digging it. Feels more like a regular ol' US crime procedural except you have very loose Holmes and Watson chrs. eg, it doesn't feel like Sherlock, to me. Which oddly, makes me view it more leniently I guess. Probably won't watch it much tho.

TV: Sandoval hits 3 HR's in Giants game Hubs: He ate 3 bowls of Wheaties today. Me: *groans, yet laughs* ....great game for us. I felt bad for the Tigers pitchers tho. I know they're going to give us a fight at some point, they're a good team.

I'd rather not have any forced surnames. I don't usually bother with a surname at all. If there was a forced one, I'd have to start considering whether the first name I picked went well with the imposed surname and it'd take me twice as long to get past the naming stage.

In action-loot-hunt games, I almost find it a must because I want to be able to continue to hunt for that random phat loot with my high level chrs. Typically in RPG's however, I don't care much one way or another. It sounds good in theory to continue playing, but since I tend to be the sort of player who tries to find every nook and cranny the first time through to begin with, there's usually nothing much left for me to do in that regard. And if I want to find out what would happen with other quest choices etc. I either play again or load an earlier save etc. But I don't mind if the option is there, as long as doing so doesn't invalidate the ending of the game in some paradoxical way or something.

I usually read them, but most of the time it's in one ear out the other, so to speak. The influences of Sawyer (or any of the others) I remember in a very general way, but yes, I don't typically care enough to try to remember specific details - or I'm just easily distracted so I forget that I wanted to learn more about certain things they might mention. So interviews are like nice reminders...and occasionally I happen to be in a mood to actually do something like look up/research stuff that sounded interesting. Which means I might learn something/they might stick. Then again, maybe not. Some days I can barely remember my own name.

Is it a full moon today? Things have been weird all over the internet for me. And no, I don't mean here. It's always weird here. Got more done this morning than I was thinking I might ... so might break and watch one of the Sherlock episodes early whilst having some lunch.

That's creative. The only thing I remember doing in Sims1 was the drowning thing. heh.

Actually, no, I don't always know these things. Just because I've been here on the forums for a long time doesn't mean I've spent lots of time reading every interview, article, tweet, blog, formspring of all the developers for all that time. And even when I do read some of them, I don't always remember...sometimes other things in life take precedence and such information gets pushed out of my non-photographic memory brain.

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.

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.

Nice interview, good questions, fun read. Paw up.

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.

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.

*scratches head* ....wondering what you'd actually try to use besides water. Milk?

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.

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.

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.

Nothing. Is it Friday yet?

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.

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.

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.

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

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....)
