Obsidian dumbs "downer"
Damn, there are a lot of devs in the room right now. Hey boys!

Congrats Ros!
A peculiar choice. It's difficult to enforce rules when you're a relativist.

New Fallout 3 Picture
You mean the Washington memorial? Yeah, the only explanation I can muster for the lack of destruction is that DC was hit by neutron bombs. Minimal destruction, optimal radiation contamination. I'm back to wondering at what point in the Fallout timeline this takes place. If they follow the pattern and have it take place 80 years past F2, radiation shouldn't be an immediate problem outside ground zeros, mostly.

This one's rather "blah". DC it is.

Sequels that saved a franchise
RE4 was still a horror game in some respects, it just wasn't survival horror, a genre which burned itself out when it married the J-Horror craze and gave birth to so many uninspired "games". RE4 is to Aliens what RE was to Alien. They decided to stop making enjoyment of the game dependent on ammo rationing and arbitrary puzzles and instead made it dependent upon (vastly, vastly, vastly) improved combat. The important difference is that RE4 doesn't require cheating / exploitation to beat.

Warren Spector teams with John Woo on movie-game project
This is either going to suck terribly or rule supremely. Leaning towards the former. Here I was hoping for a Gary Busey / Warren Spector collabo.

I discounted it because I was used to the BG2 school of epic levels, in which all enemies have to be hit with +2 weapons or better. IIRC, the armor bypassing sword was not enchanted otherwise. I figured that when I went up against demons or the like, it wouldn't do me any good at all.- Real Breaking News: Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
Buh?- Real Breaking News: Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
I thought One of Many was an enchanted light flail in NWN1? I know it's something like that. Other than that, no particular bells are tolling.- How was the next day?
Attempted to get high. Failed, for some strange reason. Played Wii.- Pictures of your games
Never did figure out how to beat that Shoggoth. Guess I missed something.- Hogzilla!
That's a big ****in' hog. I wonder how long it will take for PETA to come around and throw red paint on the kid. "Congratulations from Kenny Chesney" - That says it all, right there. and apparently the webmaster doesn't know how to spell "heroes"- S.t.a.l.k.e.r.: Shadow of Chernobyl (impressions video inside)
More pics: Calf Foal Colt Mutant Baby Makes the game almost plausible.- Games you own
Looks like Roleplayer took a pass on NWN2. As for myself, I wouldn't be able to name them all. Most of the games I played when I was a kid were shareware.- S.t.a.l.k.e.r.: Shadow of Chernobyl (impressions video inside)
Not really STALKER related, but Chernobyl related: Photographic records Spring '07. It's actually sort of a narrative. Pretty incredible. You can see some of the conceptual inspiration for STALKER areas there.- Upcoming Movie Discussion
Great news, everyone! They're making a SIMS movie! Nothing about this could ever possiblie go wrong. In better (worse?) news, Matt Damon is ending the Bourne franchise with Ultimatum, which I think is a shame, because the series has been uniformly excellent so far, and Paul Greengrass has spoken hopefully about its future. I don't see them replacing Damon.- Smilies
There are certain things you can't convey with text. Emoticons are the most agreeable remedy for this.- Wonderful animals
Less with the "cute" and more with the "holy ****ing ****" - Water Buffalo vs. Lions vs. Crocodiles. Utterly unbelievable. Epic. Watch it to the end.- S.t.a.l.k.e.r.: Shadow of Chernobyl (impressions video inside)
It gets a little bit easier. The beginning part where you only have wildly inaccurate weapons is part of the charm. Once you get to automatics you're set. I'm playing using Kaftan's mod, but it seems that armor still degrades. I don't know if that's intentional.- LOST
The obit says "J - ntham". So it's obvious that Jack attended the funeral of the proto-utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, in the future.- Upcoming Movie Discussion
I have no particular objection to Stallone milking his past. It's no less noble than being a direct-to-DVD has-been.- What are you playing now?
We've been playing Arkham Horror every night for the last week or so. It's really pushed our sleep into the daylight hours. Working on custom content for it atm.- Blizzard is taunting us...
Good. I hated the ability-fest aspect of WC3.- Upcoming Movie Discussion
My money's on the baddies being rebels. And come on, it's Rambo. - Obsidian dumbs "downer"
