BREAKING NEWS - OBLIVION PATCH RELEASED
It's a strange issue related to direct X and not really anything on our end. You can uninstall by deleting all the Oblivion stuff and cleaning your registry. Still looking into it, as far as I know.

BREAKING NEWS - OBLIVION PATCH RELEASED
There is an issue in the installer that if you ended the installation process before it closed itself out, you cannot uninstall it. Not sure if there is a fix for it or not. I'll ask. Something like 100 or so users reported that they couldn't uninstall, and the only commonality was that their installers seemed to hang during the installation, and they ended the process manually, had you let it sit for a few minutes it would have corrected itself. It didn't crash, you closed it. I know, because back when I was doing production testing they asked me to look into what might be causing it and now I have a copy of Oblivion installed at home which I cannot uninstall, at the moment.

FIFE - a next generation Fallout-like engine
I have only one criticism, at the moment; the name. Please do not call it FIFE. That is the name of a sissy dog. Other than that this looks interesting. I'll have to look into it more when I have some time.

Does this mean I am the winner of the internet?
Anyone who even read this thread lost the internet, by default. Besides, we all know Onur is the winner.

This post has to win some sort of "random post of the " award. I'm just not sure if it is hour, day, week, month, year, or some other time frame.

Life After the Video Game Crash
That article WAS a pointless waste of time. It's wrought with Vologic and Hadesisms. The PS3 is a huge waste of money. I think anyone whod' followed the system, at all, knew that. Also, the video of people rushing in the morning is sort of misleading. It was undoubtedly taken on the third day, the day when half the retards there realized "oh crap this show won't be going on forever, and I need to see the Wii." So they all race each other to get to the Wii only to realize people with Exhibitor badges are already in line. People ran past the PS3 booth because it was wide open, and they'd already seen it, where the Wii booth was pretty closed off (probably because, as I've said before, no one wants to be seen playing with their Wii) and you had to wait in line just to wait in line some more.

17 terror suspects arrested in Toronto
'cuz that's not how the moderators work 'roun 'ere. uh... what? I've never heard about this so-called law. Second, the so-called Armenian Genocide has not been disproven. I suppose it is entirely possible that a few hundred thousand Armenians decided to vanish, but even Turks don't believe that. Obligatory wikipedia link 1 It's important to note that even the Government of Turkey and Turkish national historians acknowledge that at least 600,000 Armenians were killed. I don't know what scintificly is, but it has no relation to science, that's for damn sure.

Maybe if you're not a ninja. Loser. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ninjas rely on stealth and cowardice. I eat ninjas for breakfast, while still sleeping.

Anyone who is dumb enough to forget their passport/ID when going to the airport is likely not smart enough to persuade someone into buying them coffee, let alone board a plane. Then again, boarding a plane through violence would fail miserably too. Looks like intelligence and perception, or stealth win.

You're getting worse at trolling in your old age. I've already said that the video with the prostitute/guard drinking is fairly impressive.

Anyone have 7600GT experience?
eVGA is among the best GeForce card producers, and the 7600GT is probably the best card for the buck. Plus, that card has some nice combo offers if you want to buy ram.

The Witcher E3 2006 demo movie
Oblivion had much more than the simple dog-burning video showing off it's dialogue. It had a 15-minute movie showing the opening sequence. In the dog-burning demo, itself, it had a demo of the NPC-to-NPC interaction. There were screenshots of it. Honestly, the only way Oblivion could've showed more dialogue in previews and reviews was for them to show you the entire game, but then what incentive would there be for you to buy it? Even before working for Bethesda I knew what the writing was going to be like, based solely on reviews and videos. As for NWN2, I don't think there is an information shortage with it, and NWN2 is more than just an RPG, it's also a toolset and a multiplayer w/ GM game. I think there is a fair balance of information regarding dialogue on NWN2. The Witcher has, to my knowledge, 4 videos with dialogue. Only one of these has extensive dialogue, and it is a demo level. I'd love to know what claims I've made about the Witcher, other than it looks like a new Diablo and that the game was announced way, way too early. Did you bother to read my post? Well, if you had bothered to read my post, you'd know that I said that of the 4 videos with ANY dialogue that I've seen, they all had very little dialogue (specifically only instructions), the third being the prostitute/drinking video in this thread. To me, it looks like there will be a lot of "go here and do this" dialogue, with some nice dialogue thrown on as garnish. If there are more videos that show more than simple "we'll split up from here, you go that way," then I might It wasn't perfectly representative how? I think it represented the quality of writing (good or bad is entirely up to you), and how it would appear in game. If you mean it wasn't perfectly representiative, as in manufactured for the demo, then sure. That's not really abnormal, and is also why I'm am cynical about the Witcher. Afterall, I've seen only one video with any dialogue of substance. The "bits" they've shown us haven't been all that immersive, with the exception of the prostitute/drinking guard video. what do I want? How about more ia few more shots of (whether screenshots or movies) how quests are handed out. The journal/quest update system. Some more bits of dialogue.

The Witcher E3 2006 demo movie
You didn't point out anything you just said something to the effect of "there were some videos at E3." I'm still waiting for evidence. A single video isn't solid proof of their "previous efforts showing off different quest solutions and multiple paths." It's proof that they had a demo with a few alternative ways to solve a quest. There is no proof that the entire game will be like that. Maybe it's just the opening scene, maybe it was just the demo, maybe it is the entire game. I know you're excited about the Witcher, your overly zealous defense shines through every time you post about it. I, on the other hand, am cynical about all games. To date, I've seen 4 videos of the Witcher with any sort of dialogue. Three of which with little more than "this is what is happening." The fourth, as I was shown in this thread, actually has some dialogue and multiple ways to solve a quest. Maybe you have seen more, how about a link?

Well, THAT looks good. Thanks for posting it. The options available there are very interesting. Hopefully the rest of the game is like that. Plus, SECKS MINIGAME!

The Witcher E3 2006 demo movie
Uh... Oblivion had the whole "come with me upstairs" dialogue thing. Everyone knew how Oblivion's dialogue would work from that, and what it would be like. Not to mention, if you had played any of the Elder Scrolls games before, you pretty much knew what to expect. I'm haven't seen a single demo of a conversation in the Witcher. I can keep waiting, though.

The Witcher E3 2006 demo movie
Still not impressed. It looks like Diablo III: Back in the Habit of the Legend of Curly's Gold. I'm still waiting for them to show some actual dialogue rather than a 10-second snippit of the game cutting to letterbox mode with a guy telling you what to do. That's not an RPG. It's an action game. Like Diablo.
