Anime recommendations
Official poster. Goddamnit, where's Asuka? She isn't in first movie but still... :sad: "Another story change is that Kaworu will make a much earlier appearance and, unlike Asuka, will be in the first movie. In the series he was not introduced until episode 24." Yay for Sadamotoism! All I now need is his bandage fetishism and Rei-fanboyism! Ah well, I guess I've bitched before about Evangelion: Rebuild so I don't have to talk about what is it, but here's link in case I haven't. Hmm... At least Anno has dropped Gainax from Evangelion: Rebuild and has his own studio for films. Still, can't say that I'm positive about project. When hardcore CRPGers fear dumping down for consoles, I fear NGE will be dumped down for the masses. All the talk about "making it more easily accessible" and such doesn't help. Anyway, I think I prefer old SEELE logo to new one. Old New I think serpent and apple is way too plain reference for my tastes. Text (from Ode to Joy, means "Above the starry-sky God will judge, the way we have judged") may sound and look cool, but I think one "Nerv-type" logo is enough. Not to mention taking stuff from Pippa passes is cooler, lolz On other hand, I haven't watched anime since beginning of March (if you don't count Ghibli movies that is)... Healthy recess I say. Hmm... maybe now I could start again

NWN2 Interview
Ah yes, I didn't think about his forum posts, only interviews "Not one thing here refutes what you quoted" Eh? I believe that was non-professional interview, but doesn't change what I said. Besides, do you really think anyone would do this kind of interview immediately after game is published? That would be ridiculous. A: It could affect sales B: What's point talking about flaws not even nearly every consumer hadn't found out yet? After 6 months NWN2's clear faults are acknowledged better. But it's still only 6 months after game was released. This is not post mortem where you can criticize your game very freely (hurts sales minimum by then) or some Warren Spector (all kudos for him, mind you). After all, Warren is criticizing games made by his previous, dead company. That doesn't compare. Same thing criticizing some BIS game. Oh I can believe Bio has randomly criticized themselves in their forums since I'm not there that often, but I'm not counting forum posts. Heck, as Oerwinde said, JE has been critical to NWN2 many, many times in these boards. I'm only counting interviews and such and I haven't encountered such from Bioware. "P.S. It is sad that the OP had ato make a solid interview by Mr. Sawyer with the Cool Dude Codex into a non subtle attack on both BIO and Obsidian who had nothing to do with it with some helpfulness from Sand, and co." What the hell are you talking about? I might've been little bit offensive with Bio, but subtle attack against Obsidian?

NWN2 Interview
J.E Sawyer works for Obsidian Entertainment and he is talking about game designed by Obsidian Entertainment. And I certainly doubt Obsidian employee could do this kind of interview without acceptance of Feargus. It directly deals with them, non professional or not.

NWN2 Interview
Proof once in a while would be nice Basically only way I've seen them criticizing themselves are "In bioware we're trying to make every game better than previous one, so all teh flaws in previous game will be gone in this new

NWN2 Interview
Exactly. I've never heard BIO criticizing themselves like this. With Bethesda it's impossibility

NWN2 Interview
Link Oh. My. God. That was like, well, one of the best interviews ever. How many times we see Dev(s) criticizing their own product? And answering honestly without PR bullsh*t? (Volo, quiet there ) Oh why oh why couldn't Sawyer be lead designer for this game from the very beginning... Only things I disagree with his judging is camera (it's fine with me ) 4. How would you evaluate the finished product? Any lessons learned there? What worked well, what worked ... uh, not so well? What was the game's biggest strength/weakness? I think the game as released is a high 7, low 8 title. To be honest, the major issues are due to a lack of polish. There's certainly a lot of stuff in the game, but none of it really looks or feels great. At best, the controls and features feel good, at worst they feel terrible. For example, the camera. Programming got the camera in and fixed a number of its glaring problems, but for all the various camera modes you could run in, it was hard to find one that felt good. The toolset is also an appropriate example: highly functional, very powerful, not enjoyable or fast to use for many tasks. The biggest problems during development were an unrealistic scope and a lack of focus on quality/fun from the beginning. It's arguable that the former resulted in the latter. With D&D games, it's easy to become consumed by the idea of adding every feat, class, and race you can find in various books.

The Music Thread
From the big four (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were here, Animals and The Wall) I think Animals has always been weakest. Damn good still, but not good as others. Pink Floyd - Mudmen

Most realistic FPS
I have Red Orchestra and it is EXTREMELY reralistic so to speak. I prefer America's Army to be honest though It's very realistic too, but "funnier" (or something) to play than RO

You should download Child patch + U.S 1.02 patch if you haven't already instead of UK 1.02 (aren't all Nordic copies of game UK ones?). I haven't touched any others though
