Tale

There's definitely an alternative. There's another path that lets you drop a lighting rig on him.

They're borrowing mark and execute from Conviction. People joked about it being another Conviction, but that's a bit on the nose.

There is no beauty in your soul. She sought to end a terrible injustice. She wasn't thwacking people for jaywalking.

Moved to Computer and Console.

Finished Zone of the Enders 2 HD. I've finished both now. The pacing doesn't hold up to modern standards, the cutscenes are too long. And the slowdown kills the action in the final moments, as I said before. Despite of the slowdown, they're still better bossfights than I've found in this console generation. Except maybe for Bayonetta. The writing was weaker than I remember thinking it was. Nohman's a pretty standard moustache twirler. Even Viola played at sympathetic in the first game, though it didn't exactly balance out her psychopathy. Overall, it's still fantastic. Edit: Next up, I think I'll be playing Deponia. Assassin's Creed 3 bored me too much to go back to it as of yet.

Said the Rhode Island Governor... Rhode Island loaned money towards Copernicus, not Reckoning. He was probably talking about how much it would need to sell to pay back the Copernicus loan. Reckoning was developed by Big Huge Games in Maryland. Not 38 Studios in Rhode Island.

Despite the fact that they got a well known fantasy author to create the world, I found the lore and the world of KoA to be utterly dull and boring. That was one of the reasons I was convinced the game would be successful, the auspicious people involved in the game were amazing. R A Salvatore, has written books we all love. But the game just didn't sell well enough The game sold fine, though not blockbuster numbers. Their problem was continued funding for the other game.

The slowdown in the Anubis fights in ZOE 2 HD are pretty bad. Kills their pacing and any excitement they could have.

ZOE 2 HD Played and beat the first one rather quickly. Apparently I don't remember this game very well at all. I thought Viola was an ex-love of Dingo's or something.

Yes.

My understanding of the crash was that there was oversaturation of shovelware. Q*Bert coming out on 8 different platforms and nobody knowing what to buy anymore or knowing if it'd be any good. That's why Nintendo had that whole Seal thing when it came onto the scene. There's an argument to be made on the latter, but the former is nothing like today.

I have to hope he's being hyperbolic. If it's true, that's kind of scary. I guess solutions to the problem can be found. Maybe it'll force the AAA devs to step back.

This was the response from the head guy at BioWare Montreal working on ME to a question on twitter asking whether the new ME will go in a more shooter direction. It sounds rather vague. What exactly does "the quantities may vary" even mean, in regards to what was asked? I think he's making a cooking analogy. The quantity of ingredients will vary. Instead of 2 tablespoons of oregano, he's using 1. So yes, it's vague. He's essentially saying "more or less."

Bioware Montreal hasn't produced anything. Edit: If I'm reading miscellaneous wikis right, they've helped out with some titles, like Mass Effect 2. I wonder if they're sharing any talent with EA Montreal, who did Army of Two.

Actually enjoying Halo 4 multiplayer. Though the marksman rifle dominating makes it repetitive quickly. Close to the same problem Reach had with the same gun, it's just not as bad since there's two other guns that are workable. Still rifles, sadly. Also has the console FPS problems of small playercounts and short map times. Saw I had a little bit of money left, so I grabbed both Deponia games while GOG had them on sale. I'll try them out tomorrow to decide if I should play them or ZOE HD.

But all aspects of the game do age. Graphics, sound, combat mechanics, quest design, even the story (unless it's totally original and never gets copied). That can be charming or at least a non-issue. Now the 4th wall is a different issue, it comes down to personal taste I guess. There's a difference between becoming dated and aging. The Alien movies have aged. Max Headroom is dated.

lol u tk him 2da bar|? Memes are a fast evolving element of internet culture. Even the ones that don't get overused and tired quickly will become dated nontheless. And the third wall breaking is somewhat needless. I view using them similar to booger jokes, cheap attempts at a laugh from those with poorly developed humor. That criticism goes for jokes about airline peanuts, as well. I'm not opposed to all references, mind you. But I do ask for discrimination in taste.

This sounds like a hardware problem or something bizarre. What are the exact quotes?

I'm about to do something shameful. Instead of finishing Assassin's Creed 3 or doing Zone of the Enders HD, I'm going to do a Halo Marathon. :/ I am a shame to my elitism.

A conspiracy theory without aliens, mind control, or ancient civilizations is a conspiracy theory I don't want to rave about psychotically on a street corner.

Mechanics already has 1/5th the activity of General and you want to spread it out more?

I have not played Deponia, but I hear great things about it.

What about: ? Malt liquor? What do you take me for?

I just don't know why Microsoft can't partner up with a respectable drink company like Arizona. Or Shiner. I mean Pepsi? Are they mad?!

I noticed that they dropped Bioware from the Command & Conquer site a few months ago. I think it was around the time they dropped Generals 2 as the title.
