My friend and I came upon an arthouse theater today in Fort Collins, which is amazing to me, the closest other arthouse in Colorado is 50 miles south in Denver. They'll probably snag Paprika somewhere in the next few months. They also got ahold of Inland Empire a week or two ago and played it a few times, the owner said it was the worst movie he'd ever seen. So yeah, hopefully the place will last and we'll be treated to some good indie films in the future. They're currently playing Wind That Shakes the Barley and The TV Set. Dunno if I want to see either.

Joystiq gets all lathered up with spoilerific video footages of plasmids and things.

According to GameDaily, F3 will indeed use SPECIAL (this has been known for some time already) and, more interestingly / troubling, characters from the first 2 games will make appearances in F3, which I must say, makes no goddamn sense. Travelling on foot in a radiated wasteland full of danger was difficult enough just within Southern California. How the hell would they make it to DC? How would this fit into any coherent timeline? The obvious possibilities would be Harold and maybe Marcus. If Harold is indeed "special" as MCA suggests, they could reasonably put him in the game, as he could be immortal or just insanely, insanely lucky. It's getting a bit annoying looking over DAC for news updates and seeing a gripe about how they're not in the loop every post. You lay in the bed you make, boys.

I believe he's referring to the original game. We've got boatloads of people from Fallout 2, but the big three (Cain, Boyarski, Alexander[?]) are not present.

I contest any claim that SquareEnix makes RPGs but hey, what are you gonna do? Ouch, and on the Obsidian forum too. With all due respect to Obs, they're still a baby company. 2 games (whose success is owed in some part to previous Bioware success) does not a powerhouse make. If the Alien RPG and, more importantly, an original IP do well, then I think I'd be comfortable saying they've really come into their own.

According to Joystiq, the inspiration for the story will be... Ayn Rand! The laziest philosopher of the 20th century just keeps making headway into gaming. My interest in this game has effectively been halved.

The NSFW guide to 4chan Never has there been or will be a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Also, they just figured out what the big twist ending to F3 is going to be: It's actually a missile

Catan on the 360.

Jesus, how old are you? I mean, you can dislike gaming over the last few years, but you're going to "give up"? How exactly are you "fighting" for what you want? You'd have the right to say these things if you were actually going to quit gaming, but you're not going to, or you weren't being passive beyond speaking up on a message board, and you haven't, so you're just making yourself look stupid. This is why you're not taken seriously. You can't expect to be just as you can't expect to make your parents to give in to demands by threatening to run away.

The Perlman voice has been confirmed as new. It was in the press kit that came along with the teaser. I have to say, I really hate the look of that power armor. I don't know, I seem to remember it making people a little giant-like in the original games. Or maybe my powers of observation have failed me in regard to the comparitive size of Fallout character models. Plus, it just doesn't look that great rendered. And what was up with that gun?

Color me interested. Warren Spector talks like Steve Jobs, but he doesn't wipe his ass with his employees (hopefully)

OOOO I bet the online community's smarting over that one. That song was Tim Cain's original choice for Fallout 1's theme music. Couldn't get the rights. I really do not like the game engine. But we know it'll be out in '08. That's all I could ask for. Now let's continue with Sand's debate over whether or not everything that flies is a bird.

The environments in Doom3 were nice, but the creature builds suffered the same block-plastic-itis that were endemic of graphics in the 90s. UE3 is also generally guilty of this (Bioshock looks pretty good, but Gears of War had the problem in spades) I much prefer the Source engine. HL2-E1's intro scripted sequence was probably the most awe-inspiring sequence I've seen from a computer game.

Every time a new RPG comes out, I usually binge like that. I really miss the days when I could binge for any game I liked. Oh Baldur's Gate 2, where have you gone...

No, it's pretty much a mess of a game. Rule #1 of game storytelling - If you're going to break your plot up over three games, make damn sure you can release all of them. It's like if they released Dead Man's Chest and cancelled At World's End.

Streets of Rage 2, and by extension, Shenmue.

On - Soluble Words Danko Jones - Lovercall Just Jack - No Time (ah, I'm reminded of Jamiroquai) Also... GUUUUH.

Too nerdy, Cant. Too nerdy. You have attracted the attention of the terrible rodent. Buh Buh BUUUUH. Feel the burning stare.
