As the other thead was closed, here's the new Grey Warden trailer.

Both of my bosses left hours before quitting time. I spent the rest of the day trying to fix thier computers and get the office's wireless printer to work. My car battery is dead. So until I scrape up enough cash to replace it, I have to bus/walk home or bum a ride. It was 102 out, and by the time I got home, my clothes were soaked. I showered, crashed into bed, and woke up around eight pm. I fixed Singapore street noodles for dinner, which was much harder than it ought to have been, read a little, and then worked on my short story. I headed back to bed around 4 am and slept until 2 pm when my cat barged into my room and used me as a trampoline. 2 pm! I haven't slept well for most of the week, but that's just ridiculous. Also, a conversation I had yesterday. Boss 1: We're going to have a meeting with XXX. Would you like to come? (Note: XXX is the website designer. There's no need to meet with him as he's finished with the company website. Now we just need to upload content.) Me: Sure, I finished proofing the articles. What time? Boss 1: One o'clock this sunday. (Note: Sunday?! You could have told me you were having a meeting on the weekend. Pointless meeting during week = fine. Pointless meeting during weekend = not so fine.) Me: Um, well, my car. It's still not fixed, so I don't think I could make it... Boss 2: That's no problem. I'll come pick you up. Don't worry. Me: ... thanks. Now I'm trying to think up a way to get out of this.

It's better than the last one.

Right you are. Some things are not meant for longevity. I changed the title of your thread slightly and removed the poll. Maybe somebody out there actually has some good suggestions. I have no problem with you closing the thread. I just wanted to say that I did check before I started a thread about cracks.

Wrong. The music in the trailer was good. On the other hand, JohnShep is an abomination. Jennifer Hale had better voice FemShep in ME 2.

Leviticus is a book of Jewish laws. In Acts 15 the apostles and elders decide that non-Jewish Christians need only

I have ten game icons on my desktop but my gaming languishes. I never did get any help with Dreamfall, so I still can't play it. While I'm at it, I'll point out that I *did* get Gorth's permission to start that thread. He didn't mention that before he shut it down though.

I downloaded and installed it. Just like every other patch Windows offers. I don't know why anyone else would have trouble. Morgoth, did you only install SP 2, or did you install the other required patches first?

What flawed masterpiece? Heavy Rain hasn't been released. Fahrenheit was an okay game with some interesting elements.

And many of the other students will likely be douches. And yes, you should practice the test and take prep courses if available.

It was a subtle jab at the political party being good intentioned but ultimately heavy-handed? The proliferation of mindless fluff is what turned me off TV in the first place. Babylon 5 was the last show I saw that suggested more than five brain cells worked on the writing of the screenplay. Star Trek just came out; it was a slice of space opera. T4 is action packed. Finding science fiction that tries to make you think is much harder than sci-fi that only wants to blow stuff up for our amusement. I

As am I. At the same time, I dislike how Amazon and Google are monopolizing access to media and information. Because I'm American and we're never happy.

Very nice. Thier cute doesn't have to do battle. They can love and cute together.

How is that a twist? What? No, the Visitors would be aliens. They could be 'the bad guys' but I don't want Jack Bauer vs evil!alien!terrorists!

I don't see how this is different from 4E's system.

Yes, but Print on Demand publishers have always existed for books.

The best fiction tries to be serious. There are tons of shows that want to be nothing but bubblegum and popcorn for your brain (the latest Star Trek) and there's nothing wrong with that. Heck, I still watch the TMNT movies on occasion. At the same time, why not at least put a little thought, a bit of meat in with the milk? My vote goes to V being different this time. The Visitors *are* the good guys. They know that they're creepy and maybe they're heavy handed, but it turns out they're trying to help the human race. But, that's after all the main characters have done ugly things that the audience has rooted for (cause we all know they're evil) and ****ed everything up.

Great job shooting yourself in the foot.

'A goddamn nanny making you cough up more cash just to play' doesn't make sense. A nanny, in the metaphoric sense, is an authority that restricts what it perceives as negative or harmful behavior. For instance, when China restricted people's ability to play WoW and other MMORPGs to three hours a day, it was acting as a nanny-state. The same as when the USA's goverment make it illegal to drive without a seatbelt. A better metaphor might be (off the top of my head) mobster as opposed to nanny, as they ran protection rackets in which people had to pay them on a monthly basis. They should provide a price and pricing method that accommodates a wide range of consumers while maintaining a quality play experience. Games are a luxury item, so let the Great Chain decide.

Because the Obsidian board has a large and diverse set of posters. Those 11.6 million people who play World of Warcraft are all flash in the pan and have been for five years now.

About 20 people know about this game. You have an odd idea of hype.

Urban fantasy is the 'in thing' in SF books right now. I'd like to see an RPG or action/adventure game of something like the Dresdon files.

After Prince of Persia 3D, I'm not sure how fan could be unhappy about Ubisoft taking over.
