I would still recommend Dragon Quest 8: Journey of the Cursed King. It's linear, but in a good way. You have a huge world to explore, by foot, boat, tiger or flying. The combat is really old school (no positioning) and you just take turns beating up on each other. The story is surprisingly well-written with a lovely twist at the end (or actually, both endings, because you get to play through a different ending after you've completed the game once.. a much more satisfying ending). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think people are overly critical of linearity.

Not really because Baldurs gate was a series of maps linked by a static world map. The world map in the FF games I'm talking about is a big open map which wraps around (like flying around the world) and it's all done in real time. FFX and FFX-2 would be very similiar to how Baldurs gate works. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think this sounds more like a style of Oblivion than you'd like to admit. Or are you not actually walking on this map?

Because this game has huge promise, that's why!

Probably.

Ville was on the Calgary team that went to the finals. He's a huge pest as well. I too am very surprised with the Colorado trade.

Well, I consider copyright infringement to be the theft of copyrighted Intellectual Property. I made sure to include those three words for that very reason. It might be a misnomer to use it, but not any more than equating copyright infringement with "stealing ideas."

If our team had had .910 goaltending this season, we'd have let in 50 fewer goals. I really hope he comes in and plays very well. To be honest I've been very happy with the other 5 positions. I'm very surprised with our defense, which I think just got stronger when we got Spacek and Tarnstrom. Our forward core is also doing quite well.

Heh, old school! Well, not older than SS2 I guess. I remember finding that game quite freaky.

It's one theory. Someone will come in and state that it's no problem to go and get their XBOX modded or whatever, but it's certainly much more inconvenient to do it on a console than on a PC. I bet the number of unmodded consoles goes way beyond the number of modded ones. Plus it's just a so much larger installed base, that even if the ratio of piraters was exactly the same, you'd still get more sales.

He added a ton of neat events as well! Good times good times.

cf. Call of Cthulu. Publishers don't give a **** about history. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depends on the publisher. As meta said, it's about ROI, and an established fan base has higher probability of a sale compared to an unfamiliar market. The decision to go console only would be if they felt that the untapped market was so much more significant or the established market miniscule. Though IMO SS2 was one of the most pirated games of its time (my evidence coming from my friend who ran an old school FTP site), which would indeed hurt the PC sale numbers, despite the game's popularity.

I'm surprised, as injured players typically aren't traded. I guess this trade isn't pending a physical

I will affectionately refer to him as the Rolosonator.

Would make for an interesting game for sure. It's not really the type of game where you could play two separate countries however.

I'd be surprised too. If they're making a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, it'd probably make sense to not completely sever their history with the previous fans.

Hehehe.

I just conquered France with the Historical Stony Road to War mod for Hearts of Iron 2. Makes the game quite a bit tougher.

Ty was very upset about not being played in the shootout. Our goalie situation is a total gong show.

Of course if a whole bunch of us were interested in playing I wouldn't mind an MP game either. Though I'll probably contribute as much to it as I do to the Civ games " Though MP games of HOI can sometimes be silly without some house rules. Germany doesn't really stand a chance if a human is playing both USSR and UK. A ton of metagaming can occur if people want to be like that, but it can hinder the Axis pretty extensively. Nothing like having the US join the Allies in 1938 to ruin Germany's plans for conquest.

That's just the solar system too. The planet is roughly half the age of our sun. Though 10-13 ice ages probably isn't that far off.

Lonewolf, as long as 38 of your kills aren't Private Stash, not bad at all. And I always analyze the information on the screen when someone comments about their greatness

Only your third one is impressive IMO. It's not hard to dominate a game when you have 1/20 the latency of everyone else.

I have a feeling that, relative to the centre of the milky way, we have barely moved over the course of many ice ages. And if I'm not mistaken, didn't the term singularity just evolve into black hole, as in singularities ARE black holes...well, at least the center of the blackhole is. The black hole itself is caused by the event horizon around the infinitely dense center. That's why I'm confused people would think a singularity is a "baby" black hole.

I think the big thing about Shaymalan's films is that whenever I watch one, I now expect the twist. I think his best twist for an upcoming movie would be to do no twist at all.
