  1. Fallout wasn't made with the Infinity Engine. Looks like you got them all: Link
  2. CS was great until the cheaters ruled the school. After that it wasn't fun because if you got killed, you couldn't be sure if it was legit. It made the game much more frustrating. It was funny watching many of the "best" CS players claim how crappy CS: Source was when suddenly they weren't doing as well when Half-Life 2 first came out. Good times good times.
  3. Red Wine is actually quite healthy for you. The tannins are great for your heart.
  4. As with any game, I have high hopes for it. If it sucks, it sucks. If not, yay for me.
  5. Naturally nothing is guaranteed, or it'd already be made public. Regardless, I'd still be betting on a PC version of the game eventually, just like how Jade Empire was only ever going to be on the XBOX. Even if it doesn't come out, it's not a game that's going to make me buy the XBOX 360.
  6. I guess we'll just both believe our sources then. I have great faith in the people I talk to though, as they are hands on "in the know". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My sources are rather "in the know" as well. There's no one I'd have more faith in.
  7. Yes, enquire.
  8. My curiousity is piqued, but until there's a PC announcement, I likely won't follow it too much. As a result, you can all blame Bioware for my continued presence on these boards. (and NWN2 I suppose)
  9. Those "dialogue options" aren't what the character actually says though. They're just used to let the player know how they want the character to respond.
  10. John Stewart is great. And I mean, how often do we get to see that lame 3D pipe screen saver get used on television to serve a point?
  11. If only they had Zidane Fighter 2
  12. I wonder how linear the game will be.
  13. My sources indicate otherwise. "Sources" also said that Jade Empire was to be an XBOX only title as well.
  14. I'm not sure what to think of a guy that puts himself in videos such as those on you tube.
  15. Meh, I'll just get it for PC.
  16. Eh...don't get your hopes TOO high.
  17. Clearly I disagree with this sentiment wrt to Saving Private Ryan. It would also overlook movies such as All Quiet on the Western Front (A World War 1 movie following a German Soldier in the trenches). I also disagree that there are more movies about Vietnam than WW2. Maybe more modern ones, but a quick Google search had this chap with a compiled list of 612 World War 2 movies. Many of them older with stars like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne in them. Put Saving Private Ryan up beside some of those 50s and 60s WW2 flicks and see how "typical" it is. You could try watching The Longest Day, but after seeing Saving Private Ryan it just doesn't seem to have the same effect. Furthermore, I don't recall the Germans being depicted as either cowards or merciless killers either. Certainly not akin to some other World War 2 movies like Bridge over the River Kwai (an excellent movie, but with soldiers running along beaches in their shorts with hot women alongside them in tropical countries, it particularly romantacizes being in the Army and war itself). None of the german soldiers in Saving Private Ryan acted in an unbelievable way as far as I'm concerned. Sure "steamboat willie" was scared when he was a captured POW, but who wouldn't be. He was interested in saving his own life, as he probably should have been. And if he was let go and found by a german platoon, it's not too much of a stretch to think that he'd fight with them. Yeah, it was a little cheesy that it ended up being him who inevitably shot Miller, but big whoop. It would have been much cheesier if he had recognized him, and then either shot him (or not) afterwards.
  18. As I look at the lists, it seems as though most games that interest me also have a PC version. Meh.
  19. He knows that he's tossing around ideas. There probably will be a KOTOR 3, and it probably will be on XBOX 360 if it does exist. Just making educated guesses.
  20. Considering they don't exactly have a giant repertoire of RPG games, especially recently, I'm not going to fault them for not making an "original" CRPG. Just seemed like an excuse to tag a jab at EA.
  21. Well, hopefully they'll do a DX2 and have both a male and female lead choice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With the full voice overs it may be less likely. I haven't played DX2 though. It would have had full voice overs as well, but would there be as much opportunity to talk in DX2 as in Mass Effect?

    Where's Canada? Oh yeah, we're 54th. We went up 29 ranks though!
  23. -29 is a pretty good rating at SA
  24. I'd assume some parts of it will be fixed. The character has a voice over, so you can't have too much variance in terms of physical appearance. Though I see no reason why your attributes couldn't be custom.
  25. Maybe we should wait until it's out before we go annointing it as the best game ever.
