Hell Kitty

The editor is out now. I dunno about you jerks, but I'm hanging out for a mod that has Moira offering a large selection of lingerie.

Games in Australia have been this expensive for a long time (the first game I ever bought with my own money was Donkey Kong on SNES, and it was $80), so it's probably just general bitching about the situation here.

Heh, I played ME on the 360, and the minigame was a simple simon says deal. I wouldn't say it was fun, but it was over quick enough that it was never annoying.

Exactly the same for me. Let's be best friends forever!

The "new to the game" line would seem to apply to ol' Mikeyboy, but really, no one would ever consider a shirt a costume that's hard to miss.

My special places have been touched. In the dialogue screen, is the line at the bottom the previous line of dialogue, or is it what the suave choice gives you for the next?

In the Hitman series running would cause suspicion, but they changed this for Blood Money so you can now happily run around anywhere.

Is hacking in F3 ever required?

Mutants and monsters and robots and dragons and whatever else, whatever form it takes, comics, movies or video games, it's all going to seem like nonsense to someone, but geeks telling other geeks to get a life is nothing but lame. This is the forum of a company that makes computer role playing games. I mean seriously, get a life losers. Anyway, AVG is freakin' out about that Hulk image in the first post for some reason.

Apparently he wants to do another ZoE or Snatcher.

So what is the Australian view of the Australian film "Australia", made by Australian director Baz Luhrman starring Australian actor Hugh Jackman and Australian/Hawaiian actress Nicole Kidman? It hasn't been out long enough yet, but even while in production it was seen as somewhat embarrassing and expected to flop. Reviews range from "It's okay but not the epic the Aussie film industry hoped for" to "Nicole Kidman and her stupid face ruin everything."

In Australia, the majority view is that if a film is Australian it probably sucks, and "foreign" (not American/British) films are only good because you're more likely to see some nudity.

Because whether or not something can be improved upon is entirely a matter of opinion. Also, one can want to retell a story without thinking the original needed improving.

What I find funny is when people claim that a game sounds so much better in a language they don't understand. Of course it sounds better, because you can't tell if the actor is doing a good or bad job. As for remakes, I'm more likely to take the positive stance that Aristes has, that those involved with the remake enjoyed the story so much they want to retell it, rather than negatively assume it's seen as an easy way to make money. Neither is really more or less likely. I also think labeling remakes as pointless to be pretty ridiculous. If an American remake of a Japanese horror movie is pointless, then what's the original? High art? Is it pointless for a parent to tell their kids a bedtime story that was first told to them by their own parents when they were a child?

Yes, but all that's known at this point is that Kojima won't be involved. There is also this, which some think will be an Xbox port of MGS4, others think it'll be a new AC!D.

Is going out of your way to find native speakers really worth it, given that folks tend to criticize based on how they think someone is supposed to sound like, not what people of particular regions actually sound like?

It has the same walls as Oblivion? Weirdest comparison ever.

Don't kill her, use tranqs.

It's an automatic quicksave and quickload system. Apparently if the princess saves you in a fight the enemies health will be restored. I suppose if you see replaying areas because you haven't saved for a while or the checkpoint was far away as some kind of challenge then this might be a problem, but for normal people it won't be.

"Project" was just the word I used. The dev said on the forum "unannounced titles", and the post was only in the past few days, so it's not the EE or the toolset.

The Dead Space devs have repeatedly stated that it never started out as System Shock 3, so any claims to the contrary are simply fan speculation.

After working on the original for so long, then the EE, and now the console version, that's hardly surprising. All they mentioned so far is 3 projects, nothing about what they are yet. One of that project is probably from Metropolis (which was bought ny CDProjekt). Hopefully it's some sort of a Gorky 17 sequel. No, the comment was that CD Projekt Red has 3 projects in the works.

Does this really feature Bollywood-style cutscenes because if it does I'd like to purchase a dozen copies.

Last I heard their next project was going to be an original IP, more rpg/less action. That was some time ago though. So things may have changed. Apparently they are working on 3 projects, so that might be console RPG, The Witcher 2 and a new IP.
