The geth appears to be in the armor. I read speculation that Shepard dies and his/her brain is uploaded into a geth so we can face the threat 'from the inside', or we end up with a geth companion. Yes.

Trying to finish up Prince of Persia. I have no problem with the graphic, and while I admit the gameplay is easier than previous titles, that doesn't bother me. The story so far, the banter between characters, and the characters themselves strike me as weak compared to previous titles. I sometimes wish Eleka would shoot an arrow in my back.

The death won't happen. They've put too much marketing behind TEH SHEPARD to stop now. But, if Shepard did die, I'd be happy. At least she tapped some blue alien butt before she went. I'm interested in Dragon Age, but for some reason ME2 isn't generating a great deal of excitement. Deraldin: "It's interesting to see how many people are seeing save transfer = character transfer. " The developers have previously said that you play Shepard throughout the trilogy. That might have changed, but that's where the assumption comes from.

one game i played, and i'm sure many will agree, that definitely required playing at the higher difficulties was NWN2 OC. sheesh, if you didn't have it at least on hardcore rules the game was such a cakewalk it was boooooring. taks I believe I played it exclusively on easy/normal difficulty. Of course, I never paused or took over my teammates. Apparently, they're using a Gambit like system for Dragon Age, which means I can do the same there.

That's interesting. I guess my weapons and equipment *won't* be carrying over. I'm going to head over the BioBoards and watch the ape-sh*tery.

The Greater London area in our world has 7,512,400. At 200.000, that

The idea that Dante's Inferno doesn't have name recognition in the USA because people haven't read the books is questionable. References to it pop up in comics, movies, and episodes of the Simpsons. There are online tests that tell you what level of hell you'll end up in. I've never read any of the trilogy. I picked up the Inferno, read a half-dozen pages, and found it boring. Yet, I could tell you about the only two lovers whose love managed to survive hell, how the greedy are chained to massive diamonds and forced to beat one another with them, how the gluttonous become giant blobs of flesh, or that the phrase 'Abandon all Hope Ye Who Enter Here' is carved into the gate of Hell. People might not know the book, but the geography Dante described has become part of our popular consciousness.

He doesn't strike me as the Graphic Novel type. William Blake also did a series of illistrations. If you bound them together in a book, you'd have a comic. (I hate the term graphic novel)

That is awesome news. I believe he's still doing Grimm stuff.

Hurldeath: 89063 Type: Bacteria Starting Location: South Africa Total Days: 146 I killed the entire human race again! It was much faster this time. (I'll skip the detailed log) I'm starting to think the game doesn't reward you for killing all of humanity. Just finishing the game quickly without being wiped from the face of the earth.

Nickiamitis: 30609 Type: Parasite Start: Western Europe Trait: Parasite, Harmless (harder than normal to kill people), Immune (unable to die) Spread: All Resistences: Cold II, Heat II, Drug III, Moisture III After 39 days, I only have 46 infect people After 57 days, I have only 2018 infected After 69 days, I have all my resistances up to II and have managed to make it to Eastern Europe. I unlock tier II and unbuy dementia. After 75 days, I have only 5 countries. After 78, I have 10 countries, but Western Europe begins handing out masks. They soon shut down their schools and hospitals. After 88 days, I only have 4 countries left to infect. Western Europe has completely shut down, buy other than India, other countries seem indifferent. At 92 days, I add waterborne to transmission and get every country. Now

Marillixia: 53400 Began in: Greenland Days: 264 Symptoms: Fever, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, dementia, fatigue, diarrhea, hemorrhaging, hypersensitivity, nausea, pulmonary edema, ataxia, depression, and hypotonia Resistances: Cold III, Heat III, Moisture III, and Drug II. Transmission: All Trait: Durable (cold), Bloody Vomit, Apocalyptic, Virus, Cured I managed to get wipe out everything but Madagascar, Cuba, and Japan. For some reason, it took forever for me to kill off the world. I mean, I managed to get every country in the red in 30 days, but then spend another 230 waiting for everyone to die. I played a bit of Prince of Persia as well. Dead Space is TOO SCARY. I only play it for fifteen - twenty minutes at a time.

I didn't even kill one person and they went crazy to stop my spread. I'm deeply, deeply hurt.

Trying to play the game, but it just gives me a pop up saying 'please watch the tutorial.' The little X won't click! Edit: Got it. This is interesting. I vaugely remember playing the first one.

Made it through the medical ward and upgraded my plasma cutter more. Wish I could go back to the beginning area and stomp open all the boxes I walked by, but you can't control the tram. I was going through the logs I have and realized there are blank spots - text, audio, or video logs I missed. Again, annoying to me. Hit Chapter 3 and the current problem is one that made the science fiction geek in me cringe

I remember Yahtzee's review of Mass effect where he noted the tremendous amount of dialogue. I think we can expect all that and more. As far as I know, DA has more writers than any RPG they've produced so far. While I prefer that to the Elder Scrolls school of meaningless sound bites (though FO3 was better in this regard), a tonne of cinematic dialogue is inevitable. At least they don

As we've all given our opinion on where, how, and what he should play, we've moved on. As soon as he comes back and tells us his choice, we'll return to explaining how we are the l33t Wow players, and he should do X, Y, or Z.

Pride and Prejudice: The Game You play as Elizabth Bennit, a bioically enhanced ninja marine as you cut your way through the restrictive social mores of 12th century England (as represented by necromophs) and gain an unlikely ally in Mr. Darcy, a practitioner of cybermancy. But is this ally truly a friend? And is this reality or the invention of a diabolical cabal of businessmen accessing the genetic memories of your ancestor Lizzy in the year 2110? Lead Designer: "We thought it was time to introduce modern audiences to the wonders of Jane Austin's work."

I'm downloading the english demo now. Will take 1 hour.

I'd bet Rhomal's life on it.

It might be 'cause I suck. I should have used stasis when I realized I was swarmed and cornered. I should have switched to the wide beam weapon. I should have reloaded earlier so I wouldn't run out of ammo so soon. Etc, etc, etc. Interestingly, I do better in the soundless areas. This is what a childhood of not playing FPS will do for you.

No you can't. Not unless you want to die. I suppose I should clarify: if you're the type of person who can melee everyone on easy, you're the type of person who doesn't need to play easy. I finished the first two parts of the medical ward and unlocked the third. I just now realized you could stomp open the boxes with the green lights on them. The third part is giving me trouble. After the two undead squid babies, I check the map and realize that after the set of double doors in front of me, there's a long corridor and then a save. "Maria," I think, "I've only encountered two critters since the last save. I bet that long corridor is swarming with critters." So I gird my loins, open the door, and proceed to die a few times. I manage to kill the first squid baby, then the floor crawler, then the runner rushes down the corridor to impale me. I shoot him and - oh wait! - now there are two of the regular guys, and while I try to take on one, the other begins chewing on me, I knock him off, and now a third has joined them. Trying to reload ammo and, wait, someone is chewing on me again. Knock everyone back and try to reload ammo and one stabs me and I fall into the sweet, sweet embrace of death.

You want the nipples? You can't handle the nipples! Edit: I'm so sorry mods. I try to get away but they keep on pulling me back in!

Few people know this, but breat milk is the method by which original sin is transfered from one generation to another. Nipples may appear to be sweet, innocent nibbly bits, but really they're the lactiferous ducts of Lucifer himself.
