Planescape: Torment Topic
Increased legal protection. Government funding. Increased support from academia. A greater tolerance for experimentation from consumers, and eventually the expectation and loyal support for that experimentation from a solid base of customers. Alternatively, how does being viewed as the pastime of horny 17-year-olds and maladjusted man-children help games?

For those of you who mentioned Sten's voice actor, it's Mark Hildreth, the husband in . There's some violence at the beginning.

The wonders and workings of the female psyche
Or Kaftan is obsessing. This woman might have spent hours and hours chatting with him over time, mentioned she wanted kids twice and he's thinking OMG! She wants baby Barlasts! I might be shallow then, as I’d never settle down with someone who had no job or career. Go on a date with? Sure. LTR? No. Have babies with? No farkin way.

Awesome/interesting games no one has heard of
'Normal people' don't try to install windows on a netbook from a flash drive. They either 1) buy a computer from a Best Buy or Dell.com and Windows comes preloaded, or 2) the take a Windows CD and stick it in the drive of their laptop or desktop then sit around while it installs.

With specter weapons, a pistol with max pistol skill is better than assault rifle with max assault rifle skill.

Witcher 2 'leaked' video
The story is actually Geralt teaching the dragon how to get it on. It's actually ends with the two singing . I don't know if it is part of the literature, but you do get some casual remarks along the way implying that the sexual prowess of witchers is legendary. Maybe a side effect of the mutagens? I've only read one of the books and he comes off as rather sweet and romantic. I would say that Gerralt is far more promiscuous in the game. The original character is certainly not a ‘rock star.’

Nice. I have the mixed textures pack, the new bodies, and I gained one level. I'm debating going as is with the leveling or d/l a mod that just gives me x5 modifers. If I play naturally, I'll end up with a bunch of x2s all the time. If I download a mod, I'll become too powerful too quickly.

The first thing I thought of was 'Neat hairdo' and then 'that voice acting is horrible.'

I managed to make it through the game without ever being attacked and got a cultural victory. Isabella, Zulu, and Julius all converted to Judaism and spent a large amount of time attacking Monte. Zulu became my vassel, Julius was constantly annoyed at me but I gave him money, and whenever Isabella's cities revolted to join the French Empire, I gave it back.

Civ IV: Beyond the Sword as I contimplate which new 4x game to pick up. I'm playing at +1 my normal difficulty and ended up on a small continent with Julius, Zulu, Montezuma, and Isabella of Spain.

Dragon Age Origins
A Gamestop trailer -- Writing an Epic. Mike likes to play up the wargame aspect, I see. I'm of the opinion that BioWare is high, dark fantasy, but they seem to insist it's low fantasy despite the elves, dragons, dwarves, evil blight pouring out of the land todestroy all, and people running around tossing fireballs. Tim Curry and Simon Templeton as still great though.

You wouldn't happen to have a link to those mods, would you? All I found were 'better bodies' and 'better faces.'
