It's a simple, functionalist approach of setting up the website (with me mostly getting sidetracked playing around with .php - curse my programming background). I'm mostly just using it as a medium to allow me to go rather.... excessive with pictures and youtube embeddings which the gracious hosts at Obsidian Entertainment forums understandably place limits on me doing I'm just putzing around with Dreamweaver so that the website doesn't look like complete ass. Though I assure you, it WILL look amateur. So you don't need to worry about that . I don't have much time to really make it look nice, but with today being a rare day that I don't need to be at work late, I figured I'd get some time in with working on it. I had created threads in the past about my exploits in the games and people seemed to enjoy reading them, so it's mostly just for that. Fionavar gave me permission to post quick synopses with links here, so (hopefully) you'll get some info on it there. Given my budget for gaming is about to fall to 0, a game like WITP (which can take a very long time to complete in its entirety) will occupy me for a long time.

I thought so too! Wait...perhaps Maria was just being cautious for other people?

Those that know, know. Those that do not know.... will know soon enough (AAR = After Action Report .... Basically a play-by-play recount of what you've done in the game...often used by geeks talking about a war game) (WITP AE = War in the Pacific - Admiral Edition .... A game about the Pacific War in WW2)

I have gone for late night runs too. I find them refreshing. Getting too cold to do it up here though.

I'm playing "Finish building my hack of a website so that I can start my gigantic AAR of WITP AE"

The opportunity for me to get Dead Space doesn't go away because, right now, I picked up Mirror's Edge.

Why?

I ended up going with Mirror's Edge and NHL 10

Yes. Content has been locked for a while now. Game Informer review: http://gameinformer.com/games/dragon_age_o.../05/review.aspx

My favourite was when a trailing raider fired that rocket at me...right into the back of his buddy

Haven't had much time to really examine it yet. There's another upcoming patch that I figured I'd wait for.

What word could they use to not have people think it's the next DNF? Seems people are already drawing that conclusion

Would it be better press if they said they were delaying the game indefinitely (i.e. they don't have specific release date)?

I didn't see any deathclaws until late teens. That's weird.

I think the idea of sitting on a finished game is still a very rare occurrence. The only one I can think of is Bloodlines.

A few more hours until game time!

That should cue something akin to "Words have definitions" type response...

Agreed. Here's a version of pure music for more pure awesomeness: (I still think it's cheating to pick some of the most awesome pieces of music from history and then say they're the best game themes haha)

I prefer to keep my assumptions to a minimum.

That's usually "Patient Zero"

From her post, I gather that since this was an Obsidian game, she assumed she would be able to make a female character. Moreover, the comparison with DX suggests she thought it would be an excellent game. The comparison with Deus Ex, a game that had only a male protagonist, is a blatant juxtaposition to her point and undermines it. Deus Ex is an example of her enjoying a game without having to play as a female character. If she's upset for assuming something that Obsidian never said, while at the same time in light of Obsidian stating (repeatedly) that the game was going to be about the protagonist "Michael Thorton," I think she was setting herself up for disappointment.

I don't think you were alone haha.

ETW is 1700s. I actually don't have a problem with it being one (very powerful and rich) province.

They Declared on me. I was kinda wanting to head north to take Berlin rather than south, but it looks like I'm gonna march for byzantium. That said, anyone know good mods that are similar to Total Realism at least map wise? I'm not exactly fantastic at medival and it's melee heavy partners, but I'm frustrated that ALL of france is one province. But isn't that going to require you to DOW a ton of other countries before heading south? Or is this not right at the beginning of the game?

The Ottoman's DOW you and you're going after them with Prussia??
