One of the things about DX:IW that turned me off is that they started the game as if the canon ending to DX was the Dark Age ending, but as the game went on and you finally got to the end it became apparent that both the Helios and Dark Age endings had taken place, which was confusing and stupid. Plus, the most useful weapon in the game was the pistol, not in a reasonable MGS kind of way, but as a result of the boneheaded ammo scheme.

Fixed.

They should call it Deus Ex: Invisible Bore. Lolz.

RACIST

Aqua Regis. I'll play Texas Hold'Em, Catan or Uno with anybody. I'm not that big into multiplayer, honestly.

We call this "saber rattling". Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

PC demo is on torrent sites presently.

Pics or it didn't happen.

"Tropical Island". Beef, chicken, shrimp, broccoli, carrots, cucumber and baby corn in a spicy vietnamese sauce.

Don't rule out bad RAM. I made that mistake once. You could use this opportunity to build one of them relatively cheap "hot rods". I bet you could knock that price down below $800 at least if you salvage parts from your old rig.

Lego Star Wars didn't have voicework, it had cutesy thought-bubbles. It did have wookie sounds, though. Lego games are fun, but they're as far from challenging as a game can get. So it's an indulgence purchase at best.

One answer is that it's easy not to like Microsoft. Another reason is that Steve Jobs could talk the panties off a nunnery. But you, as a gamer, have every right to be smug right back, because Apple doesn't concern itself with gamers.

Soccer? And you call yourselves Americans.

They're not making Dead Rising 2, at least not at the moment. #1 didn't sell the pants off of Nipon. So go the priorities of Capcom.

I can't be exactly sure, but a few days ago I read somewhere that the average rating for Bioshock is 9.8, whereas Oblivion's was 9.4

Are you sure it's a valid filetype?

NSFW, obviously.

I couldn't get past the terrible "universal ammo" thing. I played through 99% of the game exclusively with the pistol, and I quit after that because I didn't care enough.

You keep saying that. How long are you going to wait? All the other across-the-board-10 games (Starcraft, Half-Life 2) they kept as pricey as possible for as long as possible. If it's a hit (and it probably will be) you won't see a good price drop for months. These grapes taste fine to me. For the, what, 80-90% of the gaming populace that's anticipating Halo 3 or Gears of War 2 or God of War 3 as the epitome of what gaming is and should be? Absolutely. You don't strike me as the type to heed gaming press in the first place.

I have.

Nobody, yet. The people who got Bioshock early got the non-LE version.

Christ, I'm bored.

Overheating, un-fixable game errors -like the 1.2 Oblivion patch error that affects all SI players unless they edit a file in the game data folder-, etc. Hmmm, any way to fix that on the 360, at all? My copy of Oblivion started wigging out just as soon as I downloaded Shivering Isles. It was only after a few re-installs of the expansion that I was able to even start a new game, but alas, entering certain areas still crashes the game.

Ebert would argue that even though 2001: A Space Odyssey had key grips and screenwriters and second unit directors involved in its creation, it was still a Stanley Kubrick film. We're talking auteurism. Even with people like Warren Spector and Will Wright and Hideo Kojima out there, people who have immense control over their product, an auteur theory of games is rarely argued for. Has a game ever really made me reflect upon myself? Not really. Games to me at best are the greatest airport novels you can read combined with the best rollercoasters you can ride. There's no The Catcher in the Rye in gaming. But then again, I've never felt the need, as many have, to justify my love of gaming by prescribing it as art.

Good to hear, good to hear. Don't know if what I would consider surprising and what Khaveen would consider surprising about the future of NWN2 are the same thing, but I hope this means they'll go the same route Bioware went with NWN, which is to say, more than one official expansion.
