Tale

Jesus Christ Have I ranted about "too many cooks" yet for today?

Voice acting in Drakensang: The River of Time is so bad that it's become charming. I never thought I'd say that about anything. But maybe my analysis is off. Is it the voice acting that's bad? Or is it the way it pairs up with character movements? Could it be the pauses in dialogue that create awkwardness? I'm not sensitive to VA, or acting in general, so I can't put a finger on it. I'm not far into it, but it starts pretty slow. I have to wonder if it's going to keep this pace, single encounter dungeons, or if there will be extensive crawling later. And the level-up system is intimidating.

It's clearly going to be Monkey Island.

I'm having trouble deciding between Drakensang: The River of Time or one of the D&D games from the recent GOG sale I haven't played yet, IWD or TOEE.

Ulysses is blind, now? He didn't blink, so maybe...

The MMO is being considered the continuation. And there are hints floating around that it will feature Revan and the Exile. There's at least one official trailer that mentions Revan and features HK-47.

The "warning: facism" one seemed to be neat. The "when I kill you" would make me scared he's about to go postal.

Found out one of the dogs has parasites. Whipworms and Giardia. Supposedly it can take 3 months to show up and they're communicable, so the other dog might have it too. The little dog cost $60 for the medicine. The big one will probably cost $200+ going by weight. And I was going to buy a new graphics card.

Ciaphas Cain: HERO OF THE IMPERIUM Very funny 40k book. I'd been meaning to pick it up for a while, playing Space Marine and Dawn of War 2 finally gave me the motivation to do it.

Played some more Dawn of War 2 Retribution. I've played a mission or two as every race and it doesn't seem there's any reason to keep playing after playing through with one. I was hoping for maybe a little more differences than I've seen so far, but I'll give up on that hope. Clash of Heroes as well. On Godric, the second character. One thing that bugs me a little is all the sidequests I've got for him are too high a level so far. So I can't run around doing the sidequests as I get them. I have to go do the main quest, then hit the sidequests as I get the appropriate level. Makes it feel somewhat more linear than it looks. Hit up a little Space Marine also last night. The problem that makes me think my card is frying happened and it seemed to happen worse than before. But given a few facts about it, I'm thinking maybe the card isn't frying, maybe it's just the terrible ati drivers. That may just be me in denial.

Looking at the screenshot I see a scrollbar. Did you try scrolling down to see if there were more abilities?

Do you mean Raul Tejada? Manny Vargas is the other sniper in Novac.

That's Lonesome Road, for New Vegas.

Because you'll probably be using your specials more than your regular. It's been a while since I played, but I was under the impression that Will contributes more to specials than Attack contributes to specials.

A bit much to go from "no telling people how to dress" to "CHAOS!!!!" I'm pretty sure that's how Slaanesh was born.

I can accept banning burqas for a few reasons. But this reason is just a transparent lie. You don't uplift those forced into indignity by fining the indignant. You don't free slaves by making being a slave illegal. You don't resolve homelessness by fining people who don't shower. You're penalizing a victim for being victimized. It's idiotic.

How are the loading times on PC? I really enjoyed the game, but the loading times on PS3 were >_ I haven't seen reason to complain about them.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes It's been around a while on consoles, but the PC launched today. Pretty fun puzzle RPG. Champions and Elites cost money to replace after they die and that makes me sad.

It was probably the janitor playing a trick by setting all the clocks back a minute.

Yeah, Alpha Protocol makes today's haul. 11 games 6 expansion packs 2 adventure packs 1 DLC Any wagers on how long it'll be until I finish even a third of that?

I'll queue up everything I haven't already downloaded tonight. The consolation prize is something I already own, though.

Today is a good day for us around here, it seems. GOG has their D&D sale. Steam has Alpha Protocol for $2. http://store.steampowered.com/sale/SEGAWEE...?snr=1_4_4__118

I was this close to buying both BGs, both Icewind Dales, and Planescape on monday. Dodged that bullet.

Glorious day! All D&D titles are up to 60% off. They're using a variable pricing structure, it starts at 20% off, then every game you add to your cart, get an additional 5% off. http://www.gog.com/en/page/dnd_promo It would have only saved me $5 to take 4 games off, so I got them all.
