I've been out of the loop for awhile
Mass effect deserves a play by any rpg fan. Prey? your probably better of either renting or borrowing a friends. Short game that's rather shallow with vaginas tacked on the walls for kicks. I think theres going to be a Witcher enhanced edition coming out soon. the PC versions of Rainbow6 Vegas are good. Crysis is also a good place to put your money. Holy CRAP! http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/news/444.html 80% decreased load times, increased english text, german redub, 50 new character models, 100 new animations for supporting characters, redoing of the UI, and a re doing of the facial and lip synchs. also 2 new "advetures" (estimated time of five hours between the two), a mod editor... heres a PDF with all the changes I think. http://www.thewitcher.com/resources/upload...act%20sheet.pdf

ME: male or female?
after having played both, I personally liked my female better (of course I made a better looking one than the guy who looks like he's got a WWI british mustash.)

Dbz has the wierdest timekeeping, one thirty minute episode= 1 minute show time. then they have a 20 year jump between two later episodes.

I haven't no. I doubt that I'll be as excited as you as I wasn't too awed by the "philosophy" of MGS1 and have heard that 2 is worse, so I'm kinda awaiting a bull**** overload so that I can concentrate on the gameplay and the narrative, which is incidentially the high-points of MGS1 Wait what, MGS1 had philosophy? No, only MGS2 of these is only philosophical work. Maybe first one throwed some typical japanese quasiphilosophy but no, it wasn't philosophical work per se. Tale, can you tell Well MGS1 had more philosophy about the self and the will to live (How to beat foxdie? Live! IIRC) MGS2 was about the nature of society. MGS3 was just a cook fest. Ocelot Meowing included. I just wonder what would have happened if we had dealt with ADAM instead of EVA in MGS3. Was that NGE reference or just some tidbit of MGS lore I've forgotten about? I can't remember anything about "ADAM" in MGS's when they first brief you for the Snake eater mission in MGS3 they mention that there are two spies within the soviets forces. ADAM and EVA. You're supposed to meet Adam at the factory like structure at the beginning but EVA shows up instead.- 6th-grader warned: Stop wearing pro-life T-shirts
I would think that the shirt would be against the rules for ... "vulgar" content. I'm also pretty sure that at least 30 odd students would have probably asked a teacher if the teacher could get him to change shirts because not everyone wants to see an aborted fetus. (my HS had a protest of prolifers my junior year. They couldn't come on campus but they certainly freaked out several girls who were on their way into school.)- Zombie survival
I will soon be in a unique position to blow zombies up from long range with tomahawks so I should be fine.- Shaak TI
- KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 24
Political restraints aren't necessairly Mannan esque. For example you can't go to a planet you need to because one of the high ranking members of the galactic senate has... interests on that planet that he doesn't want you to know so he does everything possible except for killing you or outright barring you from going, but throws EVERY TRICK in the book at you to get you to stop. Another thing would be having to deal with infighting between members of your own faction. Sure they all came together to stop the big bad menace but that doesn't necessairly mean that they like eachother. The Mandalorians could deny the Echani supplies during a thrust into enemy space so that the Echani take more casualties than they should and thus loose favor with the warleader.- Movies you have seen lately
Recently I've seen indy and the Forbidden Kindom. Indy was ok. good fr a summer romp of fun but not a timeless classic. meanwhile Forbidden Kingdom was... interesting to say the least. Jet Li as a comedic character doesn't exactly work for me.- LOL: Joe Kucan myspace fanpage! =P
Company of heroes did it's best to strip out all but the most basic of base building, then it modified the control points system so that territory was awarded based upon what control points were in your hands, territories can be cut off from the main base, There is no real morale system rather your fire teams can be suppressed/pinned by heavy machine gun fire. Biggest problems that COH has had is that after about 10 minutes in a match it becomes tank land. Also it's designed for more small scale conflicts rather than the massive ones we see in DOW. I can say I've played EVERY C&C Made EXCEPT Sole Survivor.- Plagiarism
Ahh Plagarism. not necessairly on essays but I thought this was an interesting case of plagarism. http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=134443 It's image heavy (as it's art being plagarized) The only time I've seen plagarism in a good context was in a remake of "the computer that wore tennis shoes" where the main character is in the process of plagarizing an essay when he gets the contents of the net dled into his BRAIN!- Metal Gear!

MGS2+3 to get ready for MGS4- Metal Gear!
I personally liked mgs2 more than 3 simply because 2 had less jumping to another screen to do somthing (like work camo and food and the freaking cure screen).- KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 24
just going to say that if they could I'd LOVE it if they added a Suikoden esque political plot (looks carefully at the first parts of suikoden V). Just the idea that you can't just run in willy nilly and slaughter the sith because of politcal constraints would be nice.- Anime recommendations: Part 2
recently went back through my manga... completly read Battle Angel Alita (cyborg fight!) and Sorcerer hunters... contemplating reading back through the 15 odd mangas of Ranma I've got.- Metal Gear!
don't have a portable system at the moment... Like I said Wiki ftw!.- Metal Gear!
well from zipping through wikipedia (I've played all the "Solid" games.) I've learned that there Adamskya is a patriot not just an agent.- Metal Gear!
yeah... this time Raiden is a brain and a spine inside a cybernetic body- Metal Gear!
well in about a week MGS4 will be arriving on PS3's here in the US (a cheaper 80 gig bundle is being offered with the game at 499). I is drooling over it. figured I might as well preempt the inevitable thread by making this one. Supposedly the game will contain at least 3 90 minute cutscenes for the players viewing pleasure (although that is unconfirmed.) And it might have a LENGTHY install time on your PS3. btw ran across this.- Webcomics
www.machall.com www.threepanelsoul.com read all of machall first then go to three panel soul.- So are you going to buy Mass Effect PC ?
meh I say just go back to the really old system that enoch mentioned. that way people wouldn't have to worry about drm software checking them out.
