Tale

First semi-major editor gripe. I can't find a way to view NPC models in the editor. Which means I have to trust the description or memory until I actually run the thing, then it's trial and error after that. You can view the image of every environment placeable, you can view every portrait for a character, you can not view the actual character models... I guess I could run "auditions" if I had to. Spawn a bunch that fit the description, go into the game, then figure out which I like most. I'm not sure if I can modify equipment either. There's no equipment editing function that's too obvious.

I don't know about decker campaign, but I'm hoping we can make Matrix social areas. I don't even know if there'll be a spot for it in my campaign, but I'm already liking the idea.

Yes, quickness directly affects your ability.

I finished Shadowrun Returns. Now I'm going through the editor tutorial videos. This is so much better than my usual strategy of fumbling around reverse engineering the intro sequence.

I'm really excited for Days of Future Past. Like ripping-off-my-shirt-and-asking-Bryan-Singer-to-sign-my-chest excited. He was also being coy about the possibility of Apocalypse showing up.

Clearly, Wolverine gets his healing from the healing dimension. Or is he tapping into the heal force? So hard to keep track of these days.

There's only two developers at the company, so it's a pretty hefty loss of labor. Fish is upset about the abuse he's been getting on Twitter. It came to head because of comments from someone on Gametrailers that was, as I've gathered, criticizing him for not commenting on a rumor about the Xbone's policy change.

He's at his best when he's vulnerable. Like when Magneto took out his adamantium and then, for a little while before it went nutso, even his healing was reduced. That's what's good in this movie is the vulnerability. Even the part I mention in the spoiler is done well in that respect.

Which one has the greatest possibility of murdering my character immediately afterwards? I'd say it's because I like to live dangerously, but we all know that I'm a sucker for tsundere and want to teach them to love.

The writing in this game is really superb.

I would defend Dragon Age II against the hatebase if Act 3 wasn't so dreadfully done. It's the worst segment of a non-Japanese RPG I've ever seen, at least until Mass Effect 3's ending. It's Final Fantasy XIII quality.

You can copyright the text, yes. You can copyright"You have to roll the 20 sided dice to determine the attack." This doesn't prevent someone from writing "Take the dice with 20 sides, use the resulting number, that's your attack value." Computer interpretations would be even further than that. Right. But spells, for example (or at least their text and - if they had a unique enough name (think Tenser's Transformation instead of fireball), religions, possibly some of the racial details would all be potentially out. Agreed. Copyright or trademark on those details, like with Ilithid.

I'm not sure jokes count as news. It might confuse people.

Did not know that. But the more important point stands. You can't copyright rules. http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl108.html D20 OGL and the like are for Trademarks. So you can put "DnD compatible" on what you produce. That may be why the exclusion exists, because you can't really claim compatibility across media like that. If someone would care to correct me, KOTOR didn't require any sort of licensing for its D20 use because it didn't brand itself as D20. Similar to the previous two I mentioned, though obviously for different reasons.

It's the only time you can control companions. I want to pre-position them for fights. And if I get a Decker later, I'm worried I won't be able to use him/her to access the Matrix unless a fight breaks out.

G is an odd button. But thank you! I still want to be able for force turn-based, let me know if you discover that.

Saw The Wolverine. Fox definitely is taking the X-Men franchise seriously compared to when Origins and Last Stand came out. I guess the competition from the other Marvel properties has gotten them to take notice. It's a really good film. It's fairly close to your typical bodyguard film with some superhero undertones. But the combination does it well. This is a vulnerable Wolverine developing as a character. The plot wasn't particularly clever, but I thought it worked. And stay for the mid-credits scene.

People have published D20 games and sold them. D20 is only a trademark, which means all you really have to do is not call it D20. If you want an example, just look at the Book of Erotic Fantasy or Nuisances. Which were denied the trademark because of mature content, but still use the system. Or you can just go for something like OGL or GSL, which allow you to use trademarks but are royalty free.

The mind is often better at recalling bad memories than good ones. So don't read too much into the fact that I remember.

Aren't they open systems simply for that reason alone? Also you can't copyright rules which means they're open because they kind of have to be. Though you can definitely copyright and trademark things such as spell names and monsters.

We've had official word that they're working on Half-Life 3 for years now. They've essentially said they never stopped working on it.

Yeah, but that's too cliche.

Please use spoiler tag if you answer this question. I have gotten that far and I have a theory, but I don't know for sure yet. The theory:
