Search your feelings, Bioware; you know it to be true.

Some people reported that Atari outright paid for Driv3r reviews, and more people lately seem to suggest that reviewers have been bribed as of late.

Microsoft announced it before Bioware did, because a while back Microsoft announced Halo, Fable, and Jade Empire will all get sequels on the 360.

Onimusha 4 (the sequel to the final game in the series) got confirmed months before RE4. I wonder which Capcom is really focusing on?

I'm sold. I don't even care anymore if Jar Jar appears. It'll give me my first target for my Death Star. Moff Tarkin: "Let's use Alderaan to test the Death Star laser" Me: "Alderaan my ass. Jar Jar, wesa coming for yousa!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> General Anakin can join my army with tactics like those.

This guy is in charge of visuals. Ofcourse he is going to be interested in graphics.

I seriously probably beat the game around 15 hours. A 9.9 review for this game is a travesty. 9.9 reviews should be saved for near flawless games, period. And I've seen way too many 9.9 reviews handed out like candy to obviously flawed games. I can't take reviews seriously anymore, especially when really broken games like Driv3r got 9.9 reviews.

Anyone who wants to call CRPGs the Porche of the gaming industry I'm down with. I agree with Sawyer that good stories can be found in other genres, but I believe that certain developers have chosen to focus on gameplay or graphics over story. And some people just aren't great storytelllers.

Yeah i have a wife, so why should I have to be a parent?

Flexibility > Static Class

The main reason I am wrapping up my current table-top game is that I don't know what my schedule might be like in a few months when my first child is born. That makes me hesitant to agree to run the game.

WoD has Wits, which acts as a mental Reaction attribute. In my homebrew system I will likely never release, I wrote a game around faith and belief called Mythos. There are three mental attributes, three physical attributes, and three spirtual attributes. The three attributes are always strength, dexterity and constitution effectively, but mental dexterity might be called wits, and mental constituion might be called willpower, etc. Your mental attributes form a mental pool, so on and so forth. Your mental pool represents sanity/mental control. Physical pool represents health, and spirtual pool represents Chi/Faith.

Brilliant! I really need to get another press release up tonight.

Then we're not comparing Paladins to Champions. You are discussing your own custom classes. I maintain the actual Paladin class isn't as nifty as Monte Cook's Champion Class. For any fan of D20, I really recommend checking out his Arcana Unearthed.

Maybe. I always run games and would prefer to play, but can be coerced into running a game. At one point in time I suggested running a D6 Star Wars game here that I was going to run.

Only having 4 attributes, but 50 million rules just doesn't work for me.

I'm suggesting World of Darkness, Exalted, or Star Wars.

The Pictures NASA have never offered any explanation whatsoever for the numerous errors in the photographs, despite repeated questioning. These errors include: The Apollo 11 pictures show the ground in the distance being much darker than the ground in the foreground, as if the Astronauts were standing in a pool of light. Several photos show evidence of extra lighting (as a professional photographer would use fill-in lights) but no such lights were supposed to have been used. Some photos clearly show the light coming from "impossible" angles. In one instance, Aldrin's boot is lit from below as he descends the ladder. Some photos contradict the TV camera pictures of the same events. Some photos of one astronaut taken by the other are clearly taken from slightly above the eye level of the subject, but in his visor, the reflection of the astronaut with the camera shows it being held at chest level. The length of the shadows in the Apollo 12 pictures don't agree with the angle which the Sun should have been at. Some wide area photos show shadows pointing in different directions. In the sound recording of the lunar landing, you cannot hear the sound of the engines. As the astronaut calls out the remaining distance to the surface, he is only a few feet away from a rocket engine which should have been producing 10000 lb of thrust. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sounds The major point which has helped convince me that the moon landing was faked was the fact that when the control room asked a question to the Astronoughts the replies were instant with no delays. This seems strange as even with technology in the 1990's there is a delay from satellite links from the UK to the US. There is about a 0.7 second delay from London to California so how is it possible for instant replies from the Moon ? There is also evidence that when people go into space that there voice goes tense although the Astronaughts voices have been analyzed and found to be normal, and 7/10 people said it sounded like someone reading from a script. When Houston are talking to the module you should not be able to hear the responses at least when the module is landing and the infamous "eagle has landed" quote, this is due to the noise that should have been created by the rocket motor which generates several hundred thousand pounds of thrust 20 ft below the astronaughts. The noise would have completely drowned the vocals out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Radiation An American author has researched and found out that he believes the Apollo Spacecraft would have needed to be two meters thick to prevent cosmic radiation from cooking the Astronaughts inside. Also in addition to the radiation protection for the astronaughts similar protection would be required for the films + cameras, NASA's official explanation of how the films were protected was that the cameras were painted with a coat of aluminum paint, yeah right. http://web.archive.org/web/20010407065641/...moonlanding.htm -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 9 SPACE ODDITIES: 1. Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air. 2. A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon. Who did the filming? 3. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot? 4. The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints. 5. The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares. 6. Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot? 7. The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon? 8. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars? 9. The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.

The sun is really an alien-controlled slow-acting space laser.

From what I've been reading, using normal bump-mapping and newer techniques, you can make much better looking models with fewer polygons.

I'd prefer that it not force a sex on either character. I don't think it would be too difficult to ask again, like they did with KOTOR:2.

I do believe you are right.

They eventually popped out of stealth I do believe.

Again, next-gen consoles will feature much better models. Look at the Unreal 3 tech demos, or screenshots from any of the next-gen games we've seen. I accept that as a given.

I think it merely detected mines and people in stealth. No one really used stealth in 99% of the game.
