  1. Got the game today. Played a little bit of it. It's pretty good consideirng the type of game it is. The earlier hype for it was big time misleading. Thankfully, threads like this fixes one's expectations so it cna be enjoyed for what it is not what it was thought to be. Best part of the game is the atmosphere plus the music. Combat is blaisse (very early though), and everything else is eh.
  2. I like reviews even when I ultimately disagree with me. Pretty much all reviews include facts about the game. And, reading someone else's opinions is cool whether it's 'prfoessional' or not. LONG LIVE REVIEWS! P.S. I have never been convinced to buy (or not buy) a particular game based solely on a review of any sort.
  3. That was months ago. I'm sure she hair now.
  4. Britney, despite her many personal problems, is an underrated singer. She has a great singing voice. That said, this particular song is below par. It's not completely horrible; but she's had much better.
  5. "Well, yeah, but is that gonna stop him complaining?" You win. That said, where is everyone getting this 'only 3' thing from? It's 2 seperate choices of background stuff so you have variant background combo checks. And, I'm sure it's used more than just at the start of the game. It's supposed to effect certain quests, too. You can choose your first name. P.S. Sand, xbox 360's price has lowered so buy it. You know you want to.
  6. "Huh? Who said that? Even the developers always claimed it's a FPS." Pletny of people. And, as for the devs, yeah I know BS was always a FPS; but I also remember bragging about its 'RPG elements'. No biggy anyways. I'm sure, and can see it has other good qualities. I'll likely pick it up next week along with Madden 2008, and reservation of my NWN2:MOB copy.
  7. Heh. Well, I presume how you play your character (female or otherwise) will be up to you 9wityhin the limits of the choices of course). Sand can play his own character in ME. He's not forced to play a certain way. And, while more BG chocies are always nice; BIO probably went with this smaller number so they cna be used mor eoften. Probably why DA only has a handful of backgrounds as well (but, of course, DA's BGs all come with their very own prologue *and* potential nemesis, IIRC).
  8. Hmph.. Then why was there bragging about how awesome this game would be in shaming actual RPG companies? I remember BIOshock fans laughing at how BIOshock would have more actual rping than BIO, Betehsda, and Obsidian games combined? L0LLERZ Seriosuly, the game still sounds like it cna be fun. The atmosphere looks cool anyways. Are the controls reasonable?
  9. L0L Not quite; but you probably can act like one... Your BG choices consist of 1 of the following: spacer, colonist, or earthborn and soul survivor, ruthless, or war hero For you, you'd likely choose 'ruthless spacer'.
  10. So... how is the role-playing to everyone for this game?
  11. Did you read it? ME's characetr creation is more than face gen. It has backgrounds ( two different choices) which effect how others interatc with you. True, it's one thing to read ana rticle about it's 'rpgness' than to see it in action. The point is ME is not just about combat. Not even close. What will your background(s) be? I'll be an 'Earthborn War hero'.
  12. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/816/816533p1.html For 'just' an Action RPG that people accuse of being nothing more than a glorified 'shooter'; it has it's shae of role-playing ideas like how characetr abckground actually influences others' reactions to you, and how the player can shape the story. Great read. Coolio beanios.
  13. It wasn't over the tea, really. It was over being taxed; but noit really being represented in British politics while still having to follow British laws. The tea tax was an excuse. As for the topic, big whoop. So some guy just wanted to get lucky. *yawn*
  14. People will whine about Vick; but they'lls till watch the games. That is all that matters. Vick will be back playing football in 3 years (he'll be 30 sos till capable) unless NFl goes overboard, and people will still watch him play. People forget, and forgive these things. One NFL GM (unnamed of coruse) has alreayd stated that Vick will likely get lots of offers from NFL teams hwne he comes. Though, he is (obviously) done with the Falcons. I should point out though I don't approve of what Vick did. His actions - whatever the extent they are - are disgusting to me. He deserves to face whatever punishment he has coming.
  15. Other Thread: I don't think he should be banned for live. He pleaded guilty, and he should get whatever penalty the courts feel he should get as a 1st time convicted felon. He should be suspended by the NFL for, at minium, whatever the amount of prison time he gets which should start when he gets out. So, if he gets 12 months prison time, he should be suspended for a year. Not a season. An actual calender year. But, banning him for life is too much. It's his first conviction, and he deserves a second chance. Period. And, from the NFL's stand point, it only helps them marketing wise to have someone as successful as Vick as he brings in the money and the fan no matter what the judgemental punks think. As for his crimes, he need psychological help. I'm no huge pet lover (or hater); but the sort of abuse inflicted on these animals is beyond the pail. It's disgusting!

  17. "The difference between the IE games and the NWN games is that NWN games aren't made to let you modify the existing OC but to make your own adventures from scratch. You can make custom items, new NPCs, and the like but in your own module." You can edit the OCs if you want. Nothing is stopping you.
  18. My perosnal computer has been out of workings for a couple of months now. Before then, i wa sstill playing NWN1, and once I get it back up 9this week it looks like), I'll be playing it again. NWN 4 EVAR!
  19. You cna't mean Jen, right? It must be Waaaaaaaaaaamber you are speaking off? Or maybe "It's So Frustrating" Danielle. L0L Jen is awesome. Way more classy than a woman who cheats on her boyfriend on national tv or a 'man' like 'Evil' who treats his daughter so horribly she avoids him for 2+ years. HAHA! GO JEN GO! Azure, yeah, it's on CBS. Or CTV in Canada.
  20. Azure, I'm surprised you haven't heard of BB. It's in it's 8th season. of course, it's not a hugely popular show like Survivor. It's a mildly successful summer show. It's my favorite reality show though. It's not perfect, of course, and I can see why some wouldn't like it. I do, though. I like the competitive part of; but the nastiness cna be taken to the extremes which I dislike. I like the hot babes too.
  21. Yeah, that was a very silly moment. You can't help but laugh and roll your eyes on that one. Heh.
  22. Never said otherwise. *shrug*
  23. I love this show. I don't care if you consider it 'trashy'; it's sweet entertainment. Don't like this show, whine if you must; but it's best to start your own topic on a favorite issue of yours. Thank you. Anyways, this season has been good thus far. Favorite HG - Jen. She is eaSIly the best Reality TV personality ever. A great combination of beauty, intelligence, toughness, and humour. Poeple claim she is too 'vain', and while she can be; no more than any other HG. Plus, **** doesn't phase her even when he tries to intimidate her, paw at her, or sexcually harasses her. Worst HG - ****. the guy is a punk. He treats his daughter like crap, ignores what she says, and then proceeds to ask her what she wnats from him when she's already told him - she wnats him to stop being mean. It's not complicated. And, we also can't forget about his constant disucssion of raping certain female HGs up the butt until they bleed, his constant bragging of all the famous people he 'knows', his part in accusing Zach of being a 'child molestor' or by his telling the biggest lie ever - that is his claim that he doesn't lie. L0L He lies *all* the time like every HG. Eveyrthing is about **** - even his love and seeking of love from his duaghter is all about ****'s feelings, wants, and desires. Danielle is just a tool for him to feel better. Other Top HG - Jessica (though her fued with Carol was lame, $5 lol) she is funny!), Jameka (though her race drama "boo hoo! i've never been around so many white people before, boo hoo! needs to go!; but overall she is very likeable), Nick, Kail and Zack. Other Dislikeable HG: Dustin (I used to like him a lot; but he's now shown his true punk levels ever since his ex left), Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambur! ('nough said). Neutrals: Eric(he's funny; but he's a snake too), and Danielle (I feel for her over her poor excuse of a father; but her playing games with Nick is lame). The Eliminated: Mike (I like him; but he didn't last long), Joe (what a punk; I kinda wish he wa sin the house still because I thought Dustin was actually a good guy then), and Carol (liked her due to her reaction of shrugged shoulders over her feud. GO JEN GO! Any thoughts by fellow BB8 watchers? P.S. The stars is the guy's name. Let's call him Evil from now on. L0L Darn censors! HA!
  24. Yup, my dad is one of the victims here. He has many illnesses because of working in the mines.. Yet, he is still in decent shape for a near 60 year working, and volunteering. For the topic, good luck to the trapped miners!
  25. People who hate Amerika, and try to pretend that Amerika is the most evil country evil ever are stupid. Plain, and simple. Harsh, and sad but truthful and honest.
