Ah! Thanks very much, monsieur Il-Khan,

So, I got Mask of the Betrayer (europe ftw) and I installed it. My brother also wanted to play it so he installed it on his computer. Here's the thing; I had NWN2 on 1.6 and installed MotB, and everythings fine. He on the other hand, had to install NWN2 first, and updated it to 1.10, THEN he installed MotB, and now all the MotB content that has text associated with it doesn't show up. For example, he can pick the Favoured Soul class, but it's nameless and doesn't have any information. New spells don't have names or descriptions either. Now, he's tried installing NWN2 and going straight to installing MotB, but he still wants to play the OC, and he can't because MotB doesn't fix OC bugs, and he keeps getting the showstopper bug where Deaghun doesn't recognize the fact that you've picked up the shard from the ruins in the Mere. Any thoughts? We were thinking that if he patched to 1.6, then installed MotB, it'd be fine too, but the patcher automatically updates to 1.10 and we haven't a clue how to update manually. Hopefully this will be the last of our MotB problems, since I've had a few myself.

I have a question: When in the Options Menu, at Advanced Graphics, if I put the Environment Shadow Quality (Near) and Environment Shadow Quality (Far) on High Quality and press Apply Changes, it automatically changes my settings. Environment Shadow Quality (Near) becomes Medium, Environment Shadow Quality (Far) becomes High, and Character Shadow Quality becomes Low. I'm running it on a 8800 GTS with 640 MB with the latest drivers. Anybody know what could cause this and how I could fix it?

Why? Plenty of developers do console specific titles. I certainly hope that Obsidian doesn't put itself into a corner. Just as long as they keep putting out PC CRPGs too, though. We don't get a lot of those (that are good anyway) so the more the merrier.

Like paper towels? Or three sea shells.

No, just in terms of whose making it. Imposing that knowledge upon the game itself doesn't make it the truth - they look and feel nothing alike. It seems more like Doom 3 with RPG elements than Diablo.

Because the game is balls. In which case it should become an anti-WoW bashing fest. Indeed. I still wait for Diablo 3 to go into production and get released. No. First, Diablo's story is pretty much finished. It'll get twisted around with horrible ret-cons like the WarCraft universe has gone through to make new interesting stories, or it will be a retread. Secondly, pretty much everyone on Blizzard North, who was responsible for the Diablo series, is no longer part of the company. It may be the same company, but it won't be the same people making this game.

No, Blizzard does this with about anything they can get their hands on. They're pretty meticulous about these things. Why does everything about WoW turn into an anti-blizzard bashing fest? Regardless on how you feel about the game itself, Blizzard has shown enormous dedication to it and, as always, to it's fanbase. They want to deliver the same experience for everyone. Even if the experience is really, REALLY boring.

That's Mario Land on Game Boy. That's Super Mario Bros 3. No, Super Mario Bros 3. has the magic flute. Super Mario Bros. has Warp Zones. Unless your comment pertained to speed runs, and there are definately more speed runs than just Super Mario Bros 3. There are legions of websites dedicated to them.

I think you mean Planet Terror, but Robert Rodriguez made that. Quentin Tarantino made the OTHER half of Grindhouse, being Death Proof.

Kotor 3 Dungeon Keeper 3 Beyond Good and Evil 2 Alien vs Predator 3 Also, not really a sequel, but I want to see WarCraft II on the DS.

I actually quite enjoyed it, but mostly because the acting was very good. To me it was a very typical Shyamalan movie - a good idea, good acting, beautiful artwork and setting, a mediocre execution and some wierd direction decisions. By wierd direction I mean how he handles suspense - he's very good at building it, but when the monsters show up it's always dissapointing. Well, that means he handles suspense really well. He just screws up when it comes to a climax.

While I haven't seen this movie, I have an issue with the comment that the only movie ****tier than it is Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I have issue with this because The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is ****tier than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. This is because Mortal Kombat: Annihilation has a scene where a guy with metal arms punches the living snot out centaur/dinosaur thing. This is nto shared by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I do have one, but I forgot what it was as I haven't used to for ages. I basically used it as a way to find new music, but it's "you'll probably like this too" system is quite obviously broken as half the songs I got were complete tripe.

I remember playing a game a while ago where you were a god and you could create planets and populate them with different races and they would kill each other. It was horribly designed with nearly no actual gameplay, though. It felt a bit like a board game.

Hah! Well, sadly, with Snakes on a Plane I said it during the hype period but then when the trailer was released I noticed "hey, this isn't tongue in cheeck silly, it's just stupid..."

What the- this ain't Rocking Cats 2!

The first thing I said when I saw the trailer was "This is going to be the best worst movie ever."

Singing reduces cramps? Awesome.

The Who - Pinball Wizard

That's pretty interesting, but I suspect that a lot of that research was partly incorrect and/or biased. For example, "The side effects are worse than the flu" is a subjective opinion. To some people, having the flu is worse. To me, it's preferable to barely being able to move my arm for two weeks. If someone told me that was a false myth, I'd tell them they were wrong and continue saying it. (An interesting tidbit about my experience with the flu vaccin: every year I don't get it, I'm flu free. Every year I DO get it, I also get the flu, usually more than once.)

So, I just found a cheap box that has both the original Neverwinter Nights + expansions, and Neverwinter Nights 2, so I bought it. Since I've never played any of these before, I'd like to ask you Cantousent, if playing these is neccesary to understanding the story of Mask of the Betrayer? (Also, since I've never played any of these before, I'd like to ask anyone if you have to play Neverwinter Nights or it's expansions to understand Neverwinter Nights 2?)

Well, my second year of college was supposed to start last monday. They told us "come back tomorrow". Then we came back on tuesday, and they told us "come back next monday". So, I'm going back on monday and if I get told to come back some other day again, I'm going to flip out.

Why not get caught? You're superman! What can they do in retaliation?

Alien 3 was visually interesting and it had an interesting story. It actually seems to me as if they were forced to use Ripley by studio interference, and she could have been any other character. It would have been much more interesting if it hadn't ****ed with old characters. Also, it suffered from having to compare to Alien and Aliens. I mean, those movies are some of the greatest ever. The only reason Aliens compared with Alien was because they changed the entire dynamic; they tried the same with Alien3, and it just didn't work out so well.
