It's not the figure that matters, it's the presentation, and some people never seem to learn how to dress themselves. IMO of course.

I appear to be doing that as well, although it's not intentional. We don't have any summer plans; we're not big planners. We're still trying to find a house we'd like to buy for ourselves, tho, and we'd really like to find one before winter.

I include the Diablos, GuildWars, WoW, DungeonSiege etc. in the action-RPG category. I consider Oblivion to be a sort of hybrid. And yes it's important to me. If it's somewhere between WoW and Oblivion, I'll likely try it. If it's a super-serious RPG w/tons of story/dialogue decisions around every corner, I may not, as I don't have the patience lately for such games.

Very cute, but you already made a thread for sharing smilies.

I really liked that aspect of the female-exile story myself. It humanized Sion in a way that made me feel just the tiniest bit sorry I had to kill him.

I've always been the in the camp that they are not...although some of the arguments are somewhat compelling, as someone else mentioned, there's no actual proof; it's all theory and conjecture.

What I'm still unclear on is whether Gothic series is RPG or action-RPG.

I suppose with the sales taxes and such, the US merchants could probably still shelf-price it at .99 and then round it up or down after tax is added.

No yawn...but it was cute.

Well, while I do sometimes dwell on faults, it's usually not the physical ones, heh. I was trying to be humorous that time...'bored again'...'Geek glasses'... Case of being comfy enough to make fun of oneself. I actually like my freckles. I have 4 larger ones, a few smaller ones; I once drew lines w/a marker connecting them all like a constellation - and I wasn't drunk. Yes I'm that weird.

Underworld: Evolution. I suppose it was ok to watch while eating dinner...but...

From someone who still plays Dungeon Keeper1 & Casear3, my personal answer is no, of course not. But CrashGirl sounded interested in graphical style, thus I ventured my opinion. As to Warcraft reference...I didn't say they were pastel colored...just the drawing style reminded me of WC. You can have a simliar style w/out the same color scheme.

The neighbors are already making lots of noise, and it's only 9pm here.

Saw the small trailer version, which was ok, just small. Downloading the big version now while I eat pizza. :D Edit: Well I've seen the hi-res trailer and other screenshots. Stylistically, I'd say this game has the scenery of Oblivion but the character style is a kind of cross between Warcraft and Guild Wars. It looked like they even have a monk-like model that reminded me a lot of the male monk from GW.

I know nothing about this series, but it reminds me of Warcraft, which has always had a bit of a cartoony appearance in characters. Probably just a style thing. The trees and grass and such all look close to being on par w/Oblivion to me. Hard to tell w/out running around the game tho. The official site has a trailer..I haven't looked at it yet, it's big for the high-resolution one..

These are supposedly the 'recommended' settings (not the minimums) from a while back. (page is not in English). Could be different now tho. Athlon 64 3000+/P4 2,8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Geforce 6800 GT/Radeon X800 Pro

Hahaha....does the game really say that? That's hilarious. :D

Those look really nice! Especially the fire rain one. *dashes off to research the game*

This appears to be more in the realm of specific game ideas rather than development related. Moving to Computer & Console.

Coffeecup was the only one I tried; I remembered it being free/shareware or something but these days it appears to be a trial/buy. I still use Notepad...but I don't do much scripting.

thechant from Stronghold. Short, but played over and over it's great mood music. I need more monk chanting type cd's...

Is that a sim kind of game?

Boredom strikes again.

I sent hubby to get the salami sandwich. And potato salad. He was going out anyway. :D But right this minute it's a can of soda. ahhh caffeine.
