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??

Lets go Oilers!!!

NOLF is more like GoldenEye in that it was a game that said "use stealth" from the aspect of "you can sneak up on people and kill them." It's not really a spy game at all, but more of a shooter game at heart. Not that I mind. Both games were fantastic with hilarious writing.
