Tale

I learned three things. One, the double space after a period is a holdover from typewriters with monospaced font. It's considered incorrect in modern typing on computers. Two, this forum automatically turns a double space into a single space. But that's because it truncates all amount of spacing to just one space. Three, the double spacing habit is really hard to break.

Does it finally show Tony in the armor? Or are we still getting teased around that? Edit: And the answer is "yes."

*breaks down crying* I thought I knew this game. I thought I knew it like the back of my hand. But there's an entire dungeon I didn't know about! The Tomb of the Betrayers. I remember thinking "oh there's a building there," but never realized I could get inside! It all started when I checked out the side doors in the temple. Stupid Neverwinter Nights 2.

You can be the Hanar. I'll be the Volus.

Maybe. But it includes lots of travel and a 10 day workweek. Which sounds right up my alley!

I applied for a job. It's an interesting career prospect. I might even go so far as to call it potentially exciting.

Got sick of dungeon crawling in Baldur's Gate 1. I'm hitting Chapter 6, so it's now or never to hit the sidequests. And Durlag's is so boring. Taking a break. A break to play Neverwinter Nights 2!

Mostly Baldur's Gate Tutu right now. Playing it pretty slow, since there's soooo many quests in the city. It's just a sidequest glut rut.

We now interrupt our regularly Scheduled Ciaphas Cain , to bring you Dungeons & Dragons: Shadowplague. A comic book, actually. Quite humorous. Adric: My Lord, Khal, Varis, and I arrived in this tow together. Tisha aided us against the gnolls last month. I vouch for their character. The Lord Warden: And the halfling? Adric: I can vouch she is indeed a Halfling.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Best of the series.

I was so tempted to get Dark Souls. But I have no faith that I won't be one of those guys who gets frustrated by the difficulty. I should rent it.

It's not about the plot, it's about the advancement of the setting The events of Fallout 1 did effect Fallout 2's setting. And New Vegas showed us much of what followed from that, the NCR expansion, the Enclave becoming a small group of retirees. Even Black Mountain and that old ski lodge are showing a facet of the aftermath of the Master's army.

The best setting for a Fallout game would be Dark Sun, in my ever so humble opinion. That slight troll out of the way. I don't really have this fascination with seeing new landmarks in rubble. I fancy the idea of following this larger developing narrative. I don't want to see New York. I want to see what the NCR does next. Or to see it transform into post-post-apocalypse. Where things start building up better. I want that narrative of seeing how Fallout 1 leads to Fallout 2 leads to Fallout New Vegas and even a bit of 3.

Skeptical. RARE already did a mature title under Microsoft. It was a toned down version of a game they made for Nintendo. But that was before Gears of War sold like hotcakes.

Sleeping Dragon Nico is best Nico.

But as seen in the news item, the suits are "in-house". The whole question is just another example of idiotic gamer paranoia against big publishers (hint: the small ones want all your money, too - and your soul, if they can get away with it). Mob mentality will lash out at anything and blindly grope for things to blame. I envy sociologists sometimes. It all seems fascinating, if depressing. In general, if someone dislikes something, the highest profile coincident will be blamed. In keeping with the human tendency to see patterns everywhere, even if they have to make one up. Then the rationalization begins.

I finally hit the titular city of Baldur's Gate. And am intimidated. They've got quests... in houses. I'm scared to break into houses! That never went well my first playthrough! And gave The Precursors a test drive. There's almost no sound!

Where do you get that from? Looking at the pictures, I don't see support for that. You see Mitchell Scanlon (author of Descent of Angels) on 192. On 193, you see the title Mechanicum. So it was 192/193, which are different pages.

I had another impulse buy. Precursors at $15 from GamersGate. Looks interesting and ambitious. Only complaints I hear are lack of polish, bugs, and bad translation. Anyone have opinions to share while I download?

Baldur's Gate, whee. Even managed to snag Viconia at level 1. She's level 2, of course. Those Black Talon Elites are tough. Firing like 4 shots in a single attack for 4-5 damage each. It's all about savescumming and getting around them.

I've had misprints of stuff that did that a couple of times. I remember when I was young, I was a big fan of some disney minimag. Had a subscription for years. One issue came... and the second half of it was the first half reprinted upside down.

Darkwing Duck RPG!

Kind of struggling to keep playing Drakensang: The River of Time. This might be because it's competing with a darn good book. Edit: Couldn't resist. Installed Baldur's Gate, set up tutu, and unfinished business.

Not useless at all. Thank you, Malcador. I'll be looking through the recommendations and maybe updating my Amazon wishlist.
