I hate you too

The disappointing thing about Gothic is I found an "I Win" sequence of the combat (which was just swing my sword back and forth left to right) and it worked for a huge amount of the encounters. Still, I was engaged in the world and had a ton of fun with it (Gothic 2 that is, I never played the others). The unfortunate thing is my computer went kaboom and my motivation to start all over was limited. I remember killing that one super big troll though. That was good times

Edmonton and LA with a rollercoaster of a game it seemed like.

Actually you did quite the opposite. I mean what...3 titles? One of them you couldn't even be bothered to look up because it's too inconvenient for you? I guess you'd just rather other people validate your claims for you. Luckily for you Gorth was there. And then you play the victim at the end of your post, following it up with commentary about the predictable kids?

Wasn't that video still pretty lukewarm though? Been a while since I played Gothic 2.

She still turned enough of a cheek for me

While you'll level up slower at higher levels with a few hours of game time per week, you'll still feel you're making progress. The quest dynamic, as well as the different styles of each region, give a solid feeling of progression IMO.

I am actually looking at history, you know how many games in the previews showed nudity to some degree to in the end back peddled on release? Of course if you knew these things then you'd understand my skepticism. Hells even AoC is toning down/covering the women up.. which is totally screwed up but that's another topic. Oh that's right this is bioware they can do no wrong in your world and everything they say or imply is going to be in release will be... How many?

true on the level 30, but with the rate you progress in the levels it's impossible to keep up with the leveling of skills and abilities to the rate that you are increasing in power (I've tried trust me). I ended up sending my horde paladin 40g from my deathknight (who I made AFTER the paladin, but earned 200g by the time he hit hellfire) just to make it so that I could keep up with leveling. Just avoid the auction house and sell the vendor trash and you should have no problems keeping up with your skills. In fact, when I started playing again on a different server (so I couldn't count on people giving me gold) I found it even easier to make money and getting my mount at (then) level 40 was a piece of cake. I found money much harder to accrue back in the day.

Sheldon Souray makes (rightfully so) comments about fans being disrespectful and how he doesn't like to see his friends get verbally attacked when walking from the dressing room to the ice and back. Good on him for having the cajones to actually speak his mind. Respect++ I won't dispute that many fans here in Edmonton are stupid.

GOilers!

Haha, it did suck that the woman I liked was into the nerdy things too. We watched Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell with my roommate. After we watched a bit of Ranma 1/2 hahaha

I am not sure about the unlimited ammo either, as well as health, but we'll have to see. Will planes and tanks have unlimited ammo? If it's just the soldiers it could be moot, as I found I so rarely ran out of ammo it was never an issue.

Geez, alan, GEEZ. THIS is the cause of all your women problems. This is why all this drama happened in the first place. That's actually not far from the truth haha. She totally wubbed my hawt rogue.

Well, yes, there's a bit of a self-selection problem evident in that only the people with computers sufficiently powerful to run Steam games will use Steam. But pretty much any computer around these days can use Steam. This is certainly a sample space problem, but it's minor enough. I would disagree that it is minor enough. You're asking gamers what their computer specs are, and assuming it is an accurate enough random sample of all computer games? Call me skeptical.

I have no idea (nor looking down at your following post) how you can claim it peaked in the 1990s.

I can't speak for them so I don't know. I have two and have always had two.

Cable and Telephone compete for broadband internet here. I think both are quite common.

The funny thing about Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2 was that I can't really put my finger on what made them fun. All I know is that they're both among the top games I have played for fun factor.

It's more hardcore if you don't put spaces in.

Though I was thinking, does Walslingham's girl actually exist? A groovy chick that isn't mental?

Shouldn't this be in Tech Talk!!111

I'm aware of Wrath's scorn towards ME.

I'm looking

Crap game? I thought we were talking about Mass Effect.
