^ My frigate of Getting Stung by Bees shall annihilate your battleship of Second Hand Smoke. Have at you!

Reading all the stuff coming out about Alpha Protocol makes for a tingling sensation in my special places.

Shocking. Apologies to the internet.

^ Hell has frozen over!

Just got back from The Dark Knight. It was awesome. Maggie Gyllenhaal made a much better Rachel Dawes. Both Ledger and Eckhart were fab.

According to the news report I saw last night about this, they aren't even certain he threw the grenade, they only assume he did because he was the only one left alive. Is Canada having an election soon, because that's what got the Australian citizen in Gitmo back here.

Capitalist pigdog. You'll buy my **** and you'll like it, jerkface. Whoa...sass! When did you become more awesome!? October 4, 1987.

Yes, yes it does.

^ I wouldn't say that responses didn't match the keyword at all, but there were a few times where the response was much more aggressive than I expected.

So has anyone played the Too Human demo?

I hope it has an awesome inventory. That's what's most important.

It makes no sense to buy a product who don't want for the sake of a supporting company, but when it comes to business, moral support offers no meaningful contribution.

If a single console exclusive was enough to prove that console gamers want something different to PC gamers, then a single multiplatform title would be enough to prove that PC gamers and console gamers all want the same thing. A game like Deus Ex: Invisible War doesn't prove that multiplatform development is bad any more than a game like Hitman: Blood Money proves that it's good. The quality of a game isn't determined by the hardware it's made for. Games are made multiplatform because they work on variety of systems and are popular with gamers on a number of systems. Games are made multiplatform more now because there isn't such a huge divide between what PC and console hardware can do. And that's not even factoring in the rising popularity of gaming, the rising costs of games production, and the fact that as a business you want to get as many people as possible to consume your product. Even PC exclusive RPGs like The Witcher and Gothic have more in common with current multiplatform RPGs than they do with PC-centric games like NWN2 or older PC games. Recently a Blizzard dev spoke about a possible port of Diablo 3 to console, and the need to change the control from point and click with a mouse to direct control with a gamepad. That's it, just a change in controls (and of course the UI), there is nothing else about Diablo that would need to be changed, and any claims that "oh they would probably simplify it for a console" aren't even specific enough to be anything more than pure nonsense. The problem is your insistence that there are two groups of gamers, and group 1 wants x and group 2 wants y. That simplistic view might work for gaming as a business, where the powers that be decided they want a game to be in genre X because that's currently popular, but it does nothing to show what individual gamers want or like. The fact that turn-based games are rare on PC now doesn't prove that PC gamers don't want turn-based games. PC gamers, console gamers, handheld gamers, Xbox gamers, Sony gamers, Nintendo gamers, European gamers, North American gamers, Japanese gamers, Eurasian gamers, singleplayer gamers, multiplayer gamers, MMO gamers, war gamers, strategy gamers, action gamers, adventure gamers, roleplaying gamers, rollplaying gamers, Crashgirl, hardcore gamers, casual gamers, old gamers, happy gamers, angry gamers, young gamers, fat gamers, skinny gamers, gamers who climb on rocks... PC gamers and console gamers don't belong to some sort of hive mind and all want and like the same things. Games don't cater to "both groups at once", they just cater to gamers.

Currently playing Persona 3 on PS2. With the whole social links stuff, I'd really like to see a Vampire: The Requiem game like this. No epic storylines or prophecies, just a fresh kindred trying to find their place in this new world, with a focus on the social and political aspect. Keep the TB combat but ditch the random dungeon crawling and replace it with actual missions. Party members would depend on which covenant the mission is for and the allies you've made within it. Set it over a year like P3, with different activities to choose from each night. Activities pass the time so accepting one will see you Do you attend the Circle on the Crone meeting you were invited to, perform a menial task for the Invictus member who seems to have taken a shine to you, or just go hang out with the unaligned? Activities with the different groups would see you risk in the ranks with that covenant. Successful missions would give a large rise in rank. The high rank in one covenant would see your rank lower in another. Of course it'll never happen.

These "tags" tend to be pretty obvious, like did you or did you . Hopefully they have an effect on the story, rather than just getting mentioned in passing. Yeah. Is the cap going to be raised to 120 or some such, or will we be importing maxed characters, which kinda take away part of the fun.

^ Thanks, I'm going to have that in my head for ages now. *moves Walsingham to top of "People To Kill" list*

I need to see gameplay fottage before I being to care. As others have mentioned, standard fantasy fare. Kaftan will love it.

What, you mean like this: Wait, didn't you just describe Diablo 3? invalidated your argument? You were obviously never paying any attention if you think I was ever claiming anything close to "PC gamers are exactly the same as console gamers"

I wake up on the sidewalk. It seems familiar somehow. I am lying in a pool of cold urine. I am also missing several fingernails. I suppose it could be worse, at least the burning sensation is gone.

It still burns, so I decided to go see a doctor. The doctor is wearing a robe and wizard hat. I do not trust him.

I'm at the harbour, urinating on women and children. I feel a burning sensation.

I am urinating on the sidewalk, like any normal person would.

Well supposedly the game features proper dialogue trees, so necrophilia and cannibalism.
