I remember hearing Pronger say that his three least favourite teams were Calgary, Vancouver, and Colorado Now he's probably just saying that, but it made me giggle (yes...giggle...not laugh...but I actually went "heheheheheh" with giddiness)

Which begs the question then.....what game IS a CRPG?

In that case, I contend that TOEE is not a CRPG...too much focus on rules. PS:T....Too much focus on story IWD series, too much focus on combat.

I don't know if you ever listen to The Bear (or if you can even get it in Grand Prairie), but I agree with Yukon Jack when he said that Battle of Alberta has been resurrected pretty much overnight.

How do you quantify elements like story, rules, and combat?

Having said that, I'm not sure if you've been in the Edmonton Area (you live in Saskatchewan don't you? Bah I can't remember), but the place is abuzz with hockey excitement. I'm all geeked up, and am curious how everything is going to pan out. It's one of the rare times I can't clearly pick the obvious favourites in the conferences

Couldn't you categorize almost any RPG in that manner though?

I don't know if he would enjoy you singing ABBA about him though

CRPGs = Roleplaying games on the computer? Seriously. The definition of a CRPG is about as subjective as they come. There are those that claiming the death of the CRPG, when the "birth" of the CRPG was games like the Gold Box games. Which ironically, where hack and slash games. But hey, if you can't answer the question no need to get snarky.

They're a talented team still. But good goaltending always seems so important doesn't it.... What teams have won without a stellar goaltender? And how could I forget Fernando????

So what is a CRPG then?

Fortunately this is the Computer/Console forum, which allows us to discuss whatever we want, not just Obsidian titles.

That would certainly explain the Gold Box games.

Sean Burke is off to Tampa Bay! And Comcast has signed the $100 million cable deal with the NHL.

That's why I'm here!

Oh yeah. I wasn't stating that in defense of Mr. Thompson.

Well, in that same interview he mentions that his goal is to destroy rockstar.

There actually was some points that he raised in that radio interview that I also agree with, so it's not just you Squidget

Elisha was an added bonus to 24 as well!

I like the women! :cool: EDIT: Although relationships between Masters and Apprentices make for interesting stories, including betrayals and redemptions as well as vengence. When a tight bond is created between the Master and the Apprentice, when something happens to one the other is challenged in a variety of ways.

Eliza Dushku. I remember her from as far back as True Lies

I think they could play the Master-Apprentice relationship really well if they wanted. I think it'd also be neat if you progressed to a Master in the Master-Apprentice relationship as well.

I think the only reason why a console RPGer would be less likely to play a PC RPG is because he doesn't own a gaming PC. It's still a move to a style of game, regardless of what platform it's on. After all, Final Fantasy games no longer feature anime characters with horribly exaggerated features like FF7. They still have a similar art design, but games like FF8 and FFX seem to indicate a trend towards more realistic looking characters. KOTOR 1 and 2 were both insanely popular sellers, and have been the gateway RPG for gamers such as GoA. Many people I worked with loved the open ended, do whatever you want style of Morrowind on the XBOX as well.

My take is to not worry about it. Bioware still has a PC only game in development, and it sounds more ambitious than any of their previous projects. Furthermore, I see increased exposure for console RPG players to play RPGs that aren't just like the JRPGs and whatnot. It lends more to the validity of western RPG styles. I'm optimistic that Fallout 3 will do the same, should it be released on a console. As clearly indicated by companies such as Obsidian working on NWN2, Bioware's Dragon Age, and Bethesda's Oblivion.

Meh, I always found the swoop races to be rather easy as long as I didn't do anything stupid.
