Game Design Stuff You Hate
What does that even mean, "they show you how powerful they are"? Aren't those key characters still unkillable?

The Natalie Portman Appreciation Thread
Not just her best movie, but the bestest movie ever!

Fallout 3
No, it's a sequel. Don't destroy the dream, alanschu! Actually, this reminds me of the guy on the old Ion Storm boards who said he was going to wait for the real Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3.

ghosts
I like the theory of ghosts as a memory/recording of a particularly emotional event. Maybe not quite as exciting as spirits trapped between this world and the next. My favourite supposedly real ghost/demon/supernaturalwhatsamathingy is this. That **** creeps me out. Also, I like that they have pistols to shoot at this stuff. Real scientific guys.

Fallout 3
Man those things creep me out. I hate when they get too close, they're just so very wrong.

What are you playing now?
I believe it was always planned as a series. Maybe a trilogy, I don't remember. I think the only news about a sequel so far was from an animator talking about getting Altair to swim.

Someone should remake Knights of the Sky.

I can't stop playing this stupid flash game
Actually that's not true, I gave up after a few minutes. http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html You control some dude trying to run a race, and you use Q and W to control thighs and O and P to control calves. I managed to make it 10 metres scrapping my knee along the ground.

US Presidential Elections 3
The hoax was the guy claiming to be the source of the story, not the original Fox story.

Iraq War Ends
I expected at least a witty comment from Wals /wrist! Isn't that rather like expecting tap-dancing from a pig? You can tap-dance as well? Remarkable!

We don't own this station, but we have an understanding with the people who do. I found the game very enjoyable, but then I'm not really a space sim fan. I appreciated it being sim-lite. Oh, and 90210 guy was a good voice actor. Makes for a nice change from the usual suspects.

Has anyone ever seen a UFO?
I'm pretty sure the dark part is a dragon.

Has anyone ever seen a UFO?
I don't even know what's supposed to be going on in that one.

Has anyone ever seen a UFO?
That's exactly what the first few pictures in that list look like to me, or marks on the photo or some such. I wonder who decided they were UFOs?

Left 4 Dead
I enjoyed the demo but it's all a bit too fast for me. Which I expected. Sure was pretty though.
-
What are you playing now?
I didn't think the Fallout 3 ending was bad, but there could have been more too it. I just completed Far Cry 2 and I thought the end of that was pretty interesting. Now to complete Dead Space. I probably also try the L4D demo.

What's your opinion on Alpha Protocol?
Amen. Generally if I've been playing one type of game, I won't want to jump into something too similar, but I think I'll always favour a "real world" modern day setting.

I miss the days when the tutorial was separate from the main game.

Mirror's Edge
I played the demo and found it fun, I agree with the review that said it's like a first person platformer. It's actually the opposite of what I usually like in first person games, taking things slowly and exploring. I like the parkour in Assassin's Creed better because in that when I fail I injure myself and need to find another way, but in this the checkpoint reloads and I try again. I'll probably end up buying it though, whore that I am. I know red is "runners vision" or whatever and is supposed to be the ideal route, but do other colours mean anything? I seemed to be traveling along a lot of yellow.

Things you irrationally fear
I've tried to make myself climb the ladder to enter the roof space (through the ceiling hole in the closet) to check it out, but as soon as I step on the 3rd or 4th step and it wobbles, I panic and go back down. Strangely, I can run around a steep cliffside area or stand on a balance beam or climb a tree or whatever, without a problem. But ladders...*shudder*... My fear of heights is really a fear of falling resulting in injury or death. Wobbly ladders are the worst. I can fly a glider just fine, and I ain't been higher than that.

Fallout 3
Flavour. Misc radio signals all lead to bunkers where you typically find interesting items. all but one I found used morse code. You can find the radio, turn it off and the broadcast will disappear from your list.

Fallout 3
Arguing over what makes "a big deal" is fascinating.

Fallout 3
My dear friend random n00b, Is this tendency of yours to misrepresent people everytime you get the chance a learned skill or you're just that obnoxious? Cry me a river, you're a master of misrepresentation. That's right! Boycotting or destruction of a product isn't making a big deal about it, it's extreme overreaction. I was referring to the fact that it seems to be such a popular topic out there in internet land, even articles have been written on the issue. But nevermind that, I'll be honest with you, yes, I am deeply bothered that people are discussing this issue. Love and kisses, your pal, Hell Kitty

Fallout 3
Being able to kill kids makes for a great game? The fact that people make such a big deal about this and the sex/spooning thing is just further proof that developers shouldn't listen to fans. Anyway, regarding going back to 101: ? On completing the , playing it straight the whole time,

Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews
Nope, considering most games, including those two, are released here at roughly the same time as the rest of the world. It's actually extremely rare for games to be released months after the US, and it's generally due to a ban, such as with Dark Sector, which was released months later after content was cut.
