Uh, no. If you're concerned about American TV programs, make your own damn TV programs. The BBC does well enough for itself.

Didn't Sega have two gigs with Obsid?

I'm interested in this Pool of Radiance jazz, but I know more of the game's infamy than the game itself.

Mr. **** Ass.

Apparently this is not official.

If living forever entailed the failures of mind and body that accompany old age, but with no impending death, nobody would want to live forever. Even if you were spared the mental deterioration and achieved clinical immortality as a brain in a jar, it's a pretty tough sell. I think the implication is that we live forever without going senile or frail.

Plenty. Bioshock, Unreal Tournament 3, Mass Effect, Gears of War (I think) and lots more have been made using variations on UE3. The characteristic that seems to run through all of them is a trend towards plasticine character models.

Yeah, on closer inspection it doesn't appear to be the NWN2 UI. Come oooooooon Moonsea!

I can't really expect a game to accomodate 30 different game paths without them becoming diluted to the point of irrelevancy. From reading a few of the Vampire PnP books, it seemed like it was pretty rare for a character to be in control of his own fate. That was the central conceit of Bloodlines, after all. So I wouldn't expect a Vampire game to go balls-out with true player choice.

This thread has caught retarded. Weak boarding. Bring on the lockhammer, I say.

Well, I never thought I'd see the day when Ain't It Cool News would slavishly hype something. I'm convinced!

Any sort of idea of evolution that involves linearity or degree (devolution, etc.) is a non-concept completely without merit. People are confused enough as it is to what natural selection entails. Anyway, getting back on topic, if Turkey wants to revise the hadith, they're not going to get away with it. The hadith pertains more to history than law, and Turkey's had a long history of smothering cultural identities as it has moved towards modernization, such that they're under constant watch. It comes down to how much trouble they want to make for themselves. The Sharia is subject to local custom, so they've got more leeway with that.

RACIST

It's the end of the month right now. Geez.

An incentive like what? It'd have to be something that you couldn't pirate, because naturally people are going to want it in their pirated games. But it created bad publicity because people are petty and stupid, not because of the DRM. The people who played illegitimate copies and complained are like people who complain that the handling on the car they just stole is ****ty. They're not in any position to demand smooth gameplay. They're not in any position to demand gameplay period. There's no indication in the rant (maybe there is elsewhere?) that people who actually owned copies had these problems. Think of it this way: How would you react if people went around denigrating MotB as nigh-unplayable because they only played the early builds of NWN2 proper? (which, incidentally, is something I've run into often outside these boards) That's obviously wrongheaded, and so is bitching about any game you haven't played. Unless you're suggesting that a way to reduce piracy is to remove DRM, which is at the same time both terribly novel and totally expected. We don't pirate games because they've got DRM, we pirate games because we want to play them.

NO IT ISNT THOSE GENRES IS BANKRUPT WAH WAHHHHH

You must realize the gigantic BAAAAAAW and sales backlash that would come out of gaming if anybody ever actually tried that.

HAROOOOA

Might've been a PM offense. They come down harder on that sort of thing. Didn't seem like he liked this forum or its inhabitants much in the first place.

Depends on if KOTOR3 is PG.

There's really no way of avoiding politics. I think it's summed up pretty neatly in the dilemma of the man who doesn't vote. He recuses himself from the process, but the process goes on despite him, and he's affected by it under whatever policies and administrations are instituted in his absence. Given that passivity doesn't really get us anywhere, the best thing we can do is discuss matters of politics to influence one another.

SS2 Balance mod wheeee! Maybe it when it comes out we can turn down the constant BAAAAAAAW coming out of this forum.
