Bobby Fischer Dies at 64
The Jews, who have total control of the renal system, finally cut him off.

Dragon Age preview
I got into Fallout when I was 10, and it had nothing to do with the character creation or turn-based combat systems. What makes you say that? Last time I checked, the BoS paladins didn't swear. They seemed actively against the concept of foul language. And people were angry about it not being gratuitous enough.

Will Tomb Raider Doors Slam Shut?
Hmm, well, if Eidos goes under, they might end up auctioning off the Deus Ex IP. And maybe Spector can reach out with the Iron Hand of Disney and grab it.

What are you playing now?
Which one?

Sega and GPG announce Space Siege
The only good co-op game ever made was Toejam & Earl. Fact.

Mask o' the Betrayer!
The waters aren't a container or a door. It didn't highlight when I pressed z in my (unpatched) game.

It's an anaesthetic to the pain of wafer-thin gameplay, sure. It's still there, you just don't feel it. People eat **** when they're allowed to invite their friends.

Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition is on the way...
Looks well enough. Could do with a good CRPG, if Atari hadn't just reaffirmed its stranglehold on the property. We might not see a D&D game until Atari is put in the ground.

Mask o' the Betrayer!
People who moved their characters around with the keyboard seemed to have trouble with the mask pieces. If you don't move your mouse around to navigate the PC, the waters of the Well of Lurue are particularly easy to overlook.

Assassin's Creed
Well, you have 9 or so people to assassinate. Every time you assassinate someone, you get a new weapon or a new ability, and things are supposed to get a little more difficult. The problem is there are only 5 or so really useful weapons / abilities, and the rest are expansions of ranged weapon stack size and the like. But it only really gets repetitive when you get to the point at which the only way the devs could think to make the game harder was to double or triple the number of people you have to fight every time you're spotted. The combat's okay when you're fighting 4 or 5 people, but when you have to fight 10+ you start to get annoyed, because 1. the AI dumbs down with the addition of more and more enemies to accommodate "fair" combat and 2. you have to resort to counter-killing everybody, which looks cool but is rather boring over time. The combination of 1 and 2 means you have 10 dudes circling around you and you have to wait 10-15 seconds for the AI to choose an enemy to attack you, and the formerly fast-paced combat slows to a crawl.

They don't use the term "bling bling" anymore. It's been co-opted by old white people.

It's pretty funny that you'd classify the Witcher as not meant for the twelve to sixteen year old demographic. Indeed, it panders to that group more than any game I've played in the last 10 years.

Mass Effect
He's just an obsessive fan who asks you if you can make him a spectre too. Provided you've invested in convo skills, you can talk sense into him.

And even more who are more than willing to accept it if it would just put on a mask!

Assassin's Creed
There's no way to skip dialogues. If there was, there wouldn't be any point in providing an Achievement ("Conversationalist") for having patience.

Assassin's Creed
In crowded areas, this technique works. Out in the middle of the country, it also works. Holding your hands together and moving slowly is a switch that turns off suspicion, even with the selection of weapons you don't even try to conceal.

Assassin's Creed
No it didn't. The "stealth" system in AC, if you can call it that (I wouldn't) was terrible.

Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews
Okay, I got distracted there for a few weeks. Here's his review of Super Mario Galaxy from last week. I'm irritated by Nintendo's mother****ery as much as anybody else, but Yahtzee is way off on this one in every way. Here's this week's review of Silent Hill Origins.

The Witcher Revisited
I stopped playing because I got 9 of the 10 stones you need to get to wherever and I can't find the 10th. And I'm tired of having 1,000 tongues and brains and vials of blood while my rate of accumulation is so much greater than my rate of use.

Surfer Girl rumor on the games to be published by Sega
If I were to just throw out a guess, I'd say "The Dark Brotherhood" might refer to any of the (in)famous Ivy League secret societies (Skulls & Bones, etc.) from which the foreign intelligence services heavily drew their membership from in the early days of the agency. It's fertile ground for conspiracy nuttery, obviously. It's only a stone's throw away from the Illuminati or the Majestic. Men in the shadows pulling strings for some enigmatic purpose.

Diablo 2 was better.

The Witcher Revisited
The Witcher seems to be getting a bit better over time, but it has the same problems NWN2 does with length padding, only worse. God, is this game slow. and it's still making me wait through several hours of gameplay to bring this matter to bear.

Fallout Discussion
The Kaga stuff is good to see in, but the Den Orphanage quest seems a little... clumsily written. I don't know if that's the modder's work or the original dev's. It reminds me of Modoc.
