You sure don't mind talking about a game you're bored of.

I like Greg Ellis. Another guy that I see has quite the repetoire of video game voice overs. He was awesome in 24.

I would not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Easy to say when that ending isn't there.

Simply say "giggity giggity giggity" really fast, and you'll get the jist of it. You don't really need to know about family guy, "giggity giggity giggity" stands on its own.

I'd pick the X-Wing, since it just looks cool.

I think you completely missed the point. I wasn't trumping the wizard or the specialist mage, in any way. I don't see what the point is of your "specialists suck" rant here, because it doesn't address my concern. I think it's dumb that given equal or even better attributes, the Gnome was restricted. I find it silly that a Gnome is able to learn the magics of the illusionist specialty class, but no way jose to just being a normal mage. "That's just silly." The Human can dual class if he prefers. And the multiclassing/dual-classing junk just makes AD&D more nonsensical IMO.

Some AotC reference or something. He seems a good sport, and not overtly powermongering while locking something down. I find many people take a lock down of a thread they created to be some personal insult or something. Which reminds me that people should be less sensitive.

Why is that? (Although I never heard it in development for the PS3 either)

I'd get used to the idea of connecting to the net being a requirement for even single player games.

The MegaDrive????

I suggest a change in avatar then.

Last night actually I had quite an enjoyable game, with a decent commander and a good bunch of guys in my squad. Because I had been in the server for a while, I eventually became the squad leader, and the commander agreed with most of my requests for offensives, UAV recon, and artillery strikes. And since I was usually in a tank, surrounded by the men in my squad, I switched over from engineer to medic in order to help them stay alive. It was actually very very fun.

With rosters made up completely of American players too!!

Because you were saying stuff like this: I didn't equalize Messier with Ryan Malone. I just listed the players that had equivalent point totals as him. Messier still didn't take enough shots IMO for shooting percentage to make an argument for it. He took a hundred shots. A single lucky bounce increases it by a whole percentage point. A goalie making a miraculous save is a negative point. And besides, am I going to think Shanahan is any less of a player for getting less than 10% shooting percentage? Or that Sakic isn't as good because he was only 12% shooting percentage. Or Ray Bourque, THE defacto "accuracy" guy, that won the accuracy shootout in the All Star game all the time, and his 6.6% shooting percentage. Don't lecture me about Messier. I actually grew up watching the guy and he's been one of my favourite players since I started watching hockey (in the Mid-80s)

The two high-lighted guys are the future of Detroit, should they choose to keep them under the new CBA. Datsyuk might not be one of the most feared guys now, but.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually yeah, Datsyuk was a bit of a gaffe on my part. But I don't think people take it "easy" on Kovalchuk when he's rushing the net because he "only" has a shooting percentage of 12%, or Joe Sakic and his "meagre" 13%, or Markus Naslund, who is considered a sniper, and his "blah" 11.8% shooting percentage.

I guess there is General Veers, so I suppose General GoA works. Although since he's controlling the Death Star, perhaps Admiral? Or maybe Moff works because governing that thing is probably not too unlike a planet.

Men would rather smash their head into a brick wall than answer that question. Say no, and they're all just like "oo, you're just being nice...I dunno, it looks a little big...hmmmmm" and if you say yes, well, enjoy the dog house.

True, but I'm talking about shooting next to a guy with the main gun and having him not die type useless. Plus with the horrid combo of the m60/LAW, yikes.

I guess Milan Micahelek it the most dominating player on the ice. He had a 100% shooting percentage in 2003-2004. Matt Johnson had a dominating 33.3%. If you wish to overlook those guys because they didn't score many goals, then I guess Pavel Datsyuk is one of the most feared guys on Detroit, given that he had a 22.1% shooting percentage with 30 goals. Who needs to look out for Yzerman or Shanahan when you have a sniper like that on your team! A game where you get a few lucky bounces, or catching a goalie on an off night can balloon your shooting percentage, especially when you don't score a plethora of goals. As for Mark Messier's point totals, it puts him tied at 116 with players like Ryan Malone, Steve Rucchin, Trent Klatt, Wade Redden, Henrik Zetterburg, and Ray Whitney.

A ninja sim would be cool...if done properly.

That's why they don't really leak anything. The only "leak" they let out was basically letting PC Gamer see that the game was in fact in development when they went to their studios to check out Prey. As far as I'm concerned the hype machine died down looooong ago.

Ah, I forgot about Alan Wake. Yes that game does seem neat too!

I would think that given your stance, you'd probably actually rather the game not even get releaed, and just disappear off the radar altogether

Games I'm looking forward to are Half-Life 2: Aftermath Company of Heroes Battlefield 2: Special Ops Neverwinter Nights 2 (even if just for the toolset...although I think the OC will be good too). Empire at War. and dare I say it....Fallout 3 (actually this is so far off in the future I'm not too worried about it. It's more here to incite the fanatics into a frenzied fever).

To us the consumer though. I'm not sure if it would be as practical to the developer/publisher. Although I guess stuff like this would only happen if you anticipated an additional release, so it's not like you'd have to start preproduction everytime. But at the same time, people often say they "hate" expansion packs because of stuff they feel should be in the game anyways. I think it could possibly backfire, since fans can be just as picky, and could possibly only look at the length itself.
