Tale

Maybe Summer Sale. Not at the Christmas sale.

He's not Chaotic Evil, he's just misunderstood!

Loved that game. My favorite console game of the year.

If the THQ bundle had Dark Crusade, I'd get it. Alas.

It doesn't sound as if it'll still be an MMO. But there's almost no chance of them finishing this, they've gotten nowhere in years. Vaporware usually has more to show for it.

I wonder if you can get them to issue a refund if you have never played the game? I mean they can tell if you've used the key or not, I would imagine, so if you haven't, you might have a chance to get it refunded. They say they will refund one game, but I don't know if that's the real policy or just what they say to keep people abusing it. I asked for a refund on DOOM 3 BFG since it wouldn't work for me, and that's the line they gave.

I hate ME3, but I did find this particular complaint nitpicky. It's not wrong as a complaint, it just doesn't seem as serious as people paint it out to be. Earth isn't even the seat of human governance. So, it being the focus is kind of odd, granted. But the humans are going to focus on human stuff. And nobody drops everything just to help the humans, they decide they need to be helped first. And they are helped. And they reportedly do fantastic after being helped. Or that's how it seemed to me, which lended support to the idea that a traditional victory should have been approachable. Otherwise, yeah, they should have just destroyed the Earth relay and yelled "VICTORY." However, in further hindsight, Earth is still conspicuous. The mcguffin just happens to be next door to Earth. The Reapers are obsessed with defending Earth. Why wouldn't the Reapers have taken the Citadel to Thessia? Heck, why move it at all? If they're clearly so superior in fleet engagements, why put it somewhere with ground access? Earth is oddly convenient.

Interplay is trying to crowdfund Project V13, the old Fallout Online. http://www.blackisle.com/ Of course, they're using the blackisle.com site instead of something like Kickstarter so they don't have to give you the money back if it doesn't reach the goal. Oh, and the only thing contributing will get you is forum access.

ARGH Metal Gear Solid 4 did this quite a few times.

Free The Bard's Tale? *checks e-mail* That's what I get for buying the game I still haven't played yet. But if I play it now, there will be people to discuss it with!

Playing Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. Cute little game. This seems to fit in my "neat ideas" mood. Also grabbed some Daedalic adventures from GOG's sale, so I'll have some story based games to either be enthralled or depressed by after that's done.

I voted for you guys. Not sure if I'll give M4-7329047593QUYDS a try, I'm KOTORed out and I dread those running those sequences in 2 that lack a Jedi character, but I'll give it a serious consideration.

Keith Michael Richardson has done far more than Kestelman has. He is remarkably well known now.

Still waiting for Wild Magic to TK someone.

Did much of Hotline Miami. Now I'm getting into a game depression. I want a well written game I haven't played through before. Something with interesting ideas and clever presentation. Coming up blank. Maybe Geneforge will have something. Edit: Alternatively, I could write.

And now I've finished Walking Dead. They did a good job with it.

Walking Dead. Finished Episode 2 last night.

I expect consistency and the ability to set up the relevant elements of a resolution prior to the act of resolving from all stories, science fiction or not. Nobody's complaining about the titular mass effect, despite it being space magic, because that's established early on and used in a more or less consistent manner. Star Wars didn't rely on a last minute unexplained ability, either. It was about the relationship of luke and his father, which was building up from back in Empire. And some straightforward battles on Endor and in space.

I saw The Hobbit. Didn't want to see it in 3D, but that was the only way to get IMAX at my theatre. It was good, it does suffer from Lord of the Rings comparisons, especially since tone is drastically different at times. But I can get over that.

I could use a barista.

The central ring breaks off and flies away. The Catalyst even says they will be destroyed. This does not matter because the Normandy was between relays, not at one. The extended cut also cuts off the explosion before the bits start flying and says they were only damaged. But then still manages to show shots where the relays are severed or missing pieces, saying they need to rebuild. Again, irrelevant, since the Normandy does not end up in a system with a relay, it is between relays.

You had one job! I love Deponia. I'm seriously considering it my game of the year.

I've never understood this obvious misinterpretation of the ending. In the original ending, the Normandy's engines were destroyed and they crash landed on a mysterious planet between relays, meaning it was uncharted. I'm not precisely sure they have the means to build entirely new FTL engines. Usually that kind of thing requires factories and a dock. Extended cut removed the part where the engines get destroyed.

Between this thread and Tarantino's comments, I am now watching Unbreakable.

As long as it's Unbreakable Shymalan and not the other guy, it might be good. I still hold Unbreakable as one of my favorite movies.
