Hell Kitty

This is true. Exactly. If people think that female genital mutilation is all fine and dandy, simply telling them that they're evil for thinking that isn't going to change anything.

But what if that old lady is trying to cross the street so she can rape and burn a kitten?

"To be the one responsible for removing that inferior race from the planet is truly a great honour." "It feels so good knowing you hold a persons life in your hands, and then to take it feels even better." "I showed her a good time and got what I wanted. The struggle was all part of the fun. She wanted it and she loved it." "The flames are so beautiful, I could watch them for hours. What a great way to get rid of the disgusting little vermin. "You think murdering an innocent child is a morally debatable topic? You are a truly evil person." Good and evil are labels we put on things based on the beliefs shaped by our society and our own individual experiences. Nothing is inherently good or evil, and to claim some issues are black and white whilst others are gray is to arrogantly assume your views are the right ones.

Alpha Protocol.

^ There is no explicit sex in the Euro version.

Is the full dialogue really that much better? That quote I saw everyone showing as proof of how awesome and mature the original text was just seemed juvenile.

I thought the (rather long) tutorial was boring and ending up doing it in a couple sittings, but I figured I should stay with it and I'm really glad I did. Basically, don't be surprised if it doesn't float ya boat straight away.

But what if they're jerks?

Of course it does. Now would you kindly spank yourself for not experiencing its awesomeness.

^ Heh. To slow, but what can ya do...

Well, no, I meant streamline. Is it called streaming in industry? Anyway, my point is that, like Dan says, "open" in terms of level design is to do with linearity rather than loading times. I think some people get confused by Morrowind/Oblivion's style and think that only games which streamline loading can be open-ended. That's far from true. "Open-ended" and "open world" are two different things. What make the Elder Scrolls, the Gothics, and the GTAs (and all it's clones) open world is that they all take place in one huge "level".

"Open world" doesn't mean no load times. Both Oblivion and the GTA games featured load times when going indoors. Like Bloodlines and Deus Ex, both The Darkness and Thief 3 feature central hubs you can move between, but a game which allows you to move between its levels is still level based. It's just a non liner level based game, as opposed to linear level based games like most FPS.

I want to be able to shoot the radios of enemies like in MGS2/3. Trying calling for backup now, jerks.

Bigrocks McHugenuts.

No one in Europe wears baggy pants and sneakers. No one.

It's a quirky third-person action/adventure game for PC and perhaps Xbox 360. It has the PC leaping between different classic litterary works that have been corrupted by a very naughty person, thwarting enemies and solving neat physics-based puzzles on the way American McGee's Grimm?

If Alpha Protocol doesn't allow me to make agents with 2m heads then it will be Alpha Protocol in name only. Apologies to Gfted1. And the rest of the internet.

I've borrowed my nephew's PS3 while he is on holidays, and I'm currently playing update. Sometime I'll get around to DMC4.

Well it's not medieval fantasy, that's a start.

Heh, I actually like messing about for ages making my character*, but genre is irrelevant. Mass Effect, The Sims 2, Saint's Row, it's all good. It's a nice feature, but it really doesn't make a game more of an rpg. Same with the name really. They could do an ME and allow you to choose your first name, but you'd only ever see it on save games and status screens, with NPCs saying Agent, Agent Doe, or just Doe, or some such. I like fluff, but I don't really miss it when it's not there. * I also like inventory tetris.

Amiga.

I just want an announcement of some sort. JE Sawyer gives birth to Avellone's love child. It's all good.

If I could live forever I would hot wire a Porsche and use it to stalk Tale who goes to all the cool places and make a coat out of Nick i am's skin and teach Uwe Boll how to make movies.

I have a pair just like that.
