Ace Combat 5 has some pretty nice music. The Unsung War track rocks.

Whatever they're named doesn't appease any desire to murder them on sight.

Wait, didn't MCA just identify Gabrielle in there?

If only they would freaking murder this bloody furry first, though

Jerk.

Go go education!

Hmmmm, Bloodlines runs like a dream with 1 gig of RAM I still can't outrun the werewolf, though

Hmm, nice MCA interview.

A personality is irrelevant without interaction, as Magical Volo said. Which made the henchies irrelevant.

Newsflash: there's no accounting for taste.

Clearly the 5 million people paying to play WoW are idiots. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're one of them! For me, the main thing is that I want my gaming to have a point. I don't find pointless grinding and performing random quests fun. I don't care about reaching level 45 for the sake of it, I don't care about hunting down a dragon in order to gain rewards, and I certainly don't care about roleplaying Night Elves taking off their clothes in order to provide a richer gaming experience. The grind in GW, which was already pretty toned down compared to a full-fledged MMORPG, was mind-numbingly nauseating. All this as just an excuse to serve as a backdrop for a social experience is justifiable, but that's what RL is for. Besides, the majority of online gamers are morons.

You can go zing yourself, jerk.

Heh. If MMORPGs were actually good enough (or maybe just actually good, period) to warrant a monthly fee, I'd gladly pay them. Otherwise, their marginal utility relative to their cost is pretty meh.

Because money is the only thing that dictates the quality of a game.

Aye, then. March 14th release. http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=news&id=513

Spot the alanschu!

The editor, dawg, it's all about the editor.

go go brain cells!

Magical Volo strikes again with reasoning and logical thought processing! R00FLES!

Since Doomsday is everything HoI2 is with more features, I would wait. The features are the primary incentive. The price is just a nice little bonus http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=srmr&pa...PC&title=872786

Yeah, EU and HoI series are both made by Paradox, so they share *some* similarities. HoI2 is much much more user-friendly (in terms of interface and all) than its predecessor. I'd imagine EU3 (2007) will follow suit as well. As I said, HoI2 has a demo available, although all you have in there is combat, no production/research/diplomacy. I mean, come on, diplomacy with 100+ nations. It doesn't get any better than this. That's one of the big draws. The whole world is included, not just Europe or the Pacific. If the nation existed back then, you can play it. In terms of learning curve, there's a tutorial which explains the basics pretty well. With just that, you should be able to jump into the game and start playing (though, playing the game will probably be a learning process as well). "Easy to learn, difficult to master". Not to mention a pretty resourceful manual. HoI2: Doomsday is a STANDALONE 'expansion pack' that includes everything in the original HoI2, and adds additional scenarios, extends the timeline to 1953, etc. Thanks to its xpac status, the price is also lesser (20$ US).

Bloodlines, Malkavian style.

In Hades' defense, the PCs you got to choose from in JE were all horrible.

Good stuff. Hmm, about the interiors having tilesets, I wonder if that applies to caverns as well.

Listen to Baley.
