I thought there were similarities Although I never confused the too...no no not ME

If anyone is up for a game, I'm sure I could find some time to squeeze it into my schedule

Does that count our conversation? Because if it did, I wanna reiterate that I think spam is unavoidable! :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm afraid that includes our conversation....... I was reeeeeeeeeeeally out of it at that point <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Amateur! :D I don't know why, but I am nocturnal (well, I can fathom a guess, since I stayed up late in my formative years playing video games). It seems no matter how tired I get, once night falls, I'm no longer tired!

You're supposed to love games. Not be IN love with games.

I think someone created this thread first. You'll notice Fionavar is not the first poster. EDIT: In fact, if you look at the times, you'll see that's exactly what happened.

I was talking about you....and everyone else on this forum ^_^

My my...the game really has seemed to have changed. I'll see if I can squeeze it in for my 4 o'clock on Sunday :D

I liked how a game like Half-Life 2 tried to actually integrate physics into it's puzzles and whatnot. They're still simplistic, but I enjoyed the slight difference to standard FPS play.

Finding out that he didn't want to do XXX 2 made me like him more :D

The vents exist because they want to try to stay true to their promise of having some sort of open ended story. If they made it so that everyone would have to go through some bottleneck, then they would have failed in their project goal. Even Spector was disappointed that there were 3 people that you had to kill in the original Deus Ex. Personally, I think it's neat that designers are trying to vary the gameplay a little.

They aren't too thrilled with their union rep, that's for sure.

Until the next Lucasarts game comes along.

Well the inverse point order achieved that. If you were the last place team the year before, you got the first draft pick, and if you were the first place team, you got the last pick, etc. I think they're going random this year since there was no season last year. And a lot of teams went through some major reconstruction in the meantime. Such as the Rangers. They dumped all their high priced has-beens, since they had the highest payroll in the league, yet didn't even make the playoffs like 2-3 years in a row, and went with a young low cost team with potential. I believe several teams did that too. Off topic: Heres hoping Luongo manages to either get some help this season or get traded to a different team. Its a shame arguably the best goaltender in the league is stuck on Florida. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ooooohhh, you were talking about for the upcoming year. In that case I agree. But even still, I prefer the lottery over the inverse system. It means that teams that tank games on purpose are not guaranteed the top pick. It can lead to some interesting stuff as the Orlando Magic back-to-back #1 picks, despite the fact they were the best team to not make the playoffs in the second year (They drafted O'Neal, and then Chris Webber to be traded for Anfernee Hardaway). The lottery is only among teams that did not make the playoffs though.

Who is your avatar? He looks kind of like John Stewart, but I'm not sure

Meh, I still contend that I cannot say whether or not Duke Nukem Forever will be true to the "real" Duke until I at least see the game in action. And even then, I likely won't care as long as it's a fun game.

I prefer the draft lottery, like in the NBA. Crap teams should have the best chances of snagging up the best talent, to help bring parity IMO.

Mouse flying is damn hard in the games where you have a ground I find.

Hmmm...I don't remember how No Regret ended

My real name is: Deranged Insanity alanschu is: Flirting With Suicide I think the site has a grim view of me.

Try putting in Draken Fett

I blame games like Privateer 2 and X-Wing: Alliance that forced me to use a joystick. No keyboard support at all (nor mouse). I played through all the WC games with a mouse (they had that smart crosshair in the middle that basically determined your pitch/yaw...why more games don't include that is beyond me), Privateer with a keyboard. The original Falcon with a keyboard. I just fly better with the joystick in BF1942. A bit more precise, since the controls are analog.

It is a pretty big world. I wonder if Oblivion is going to have a more robust conversation design in Oblivion. As much as I find the one word responses usable....I prefer full on dialog options personally. But I guess I can just make up whatever sentence I want when I pick the single word

I heard there was a patch that upgraded the Journal. Man, I'm going to have to raid my parent's place some day. Apparently there's a way to get Ultima VII working awesome on new computers, someone wants to play some Close Combat 3 with me, AND Morrowind is still there. I think I know where the map is still Would you recommend the expansions? Although it's hard to find them in stores now anyways, so I probably won't bother.
