Tale

I'm getting a page unavailable. Or more specifically.

Hah, yeah me too - that double takedown starting at 00:19 is effin nice. 1:01 is my favorite.

Doesn't the third swing do extra damage? It always seemed to absolutely murder whoever it hit.

That's a neat bit of behavior, where the cop (soldier?) is trying to resuscitate a downed civilian, while other cops are keeping lookout.

That one XCom trailer has me really excited for it.

I was just told on another forum that the demo is enabled with Nvidia 3D vision. Anyone here check that out?

Who beat the witch boss without dying? I think I died three or four times there. I have to wonder how far in the game that is. Because it was a bit of a spike in the curve.

Hang on. Your job is being tortured? Not what I wished to imply, but sure. Let us go with that.

It's nice to know they have Twitter in hell.

I think reducing the burden of the aged would work by extending productivity. The concept of retirement actually bothers me. But I think that's a fundamental difference between me and most of humanity. Most people hate their jobs. I would crack a smile and laugh while being tortured to death.

Didn't he hate the first one because he thought the manual was too thick and decided to go skiing instead? How thick is The Witcher 2 manual?

Combat seems to be growing on me. I haven't given the demo a full shake yet, though. I noticed that when playing as the fire-girl, tossing down her fire special, then switching to her melee form made things fairly easy, but also a bit exciting. If the game favors more quick micro like that as I give it a harder look, then I can see really liking it.

That was a benefit of the 360 demo. It had a menu option to see the controller map. But the PC demo did not. Not sure why. Hopefully remapping is in full, but it would have been nice to have in the demo.

If I'm lucky, people uploading screenshots of Futurama will get tagged as me. My facebook picture is Farnsworth.

Did some side by side of the 360 and pc demos. They look pretty much identical. PC has a slight visual advantage of being a higher resolution on a smaller screen. Not enough for me to choose it specifically. Gameplay, the control seemed to work out for me either way. Gamepad's probably the better bet. However, K&M has a huge advantage in the inventory screen. That does seem pretty minor in itself, but control pad inventory bugs me. Select slot, confirm slot, select item, confirm item. With mouse it's select slot, select item.

I like to think most of my self-injuries have been 'inventive' at the very least. Who here has ever gotten a facial scar from slicing an apple? This guy!

Geralt stopped the and Salamandra. So his contribution in The Witcher 1 was significant. Hawke did accomplish something in stopping the Qunari. And maybe giving them back their book. But the mage/templar thread was set to go off without him. And he doesn't seem to have had any positive contribution to either side. Maybe he stopped , but what did that particularly accomplish?

Like ArmA2? Care to elaborate? The whole building your base on the fly and jet-to-mech conversion seems rather exciting.

That's a complaint I've seen a few people level at the game. I never thought about it prior to those mentions, but it's pretty much true.

What was the problem?

Now that is exciting. I'm not surprised to see it's a PSN/XBL title. Developer: Bedlam Same company as Daggerdale.

Modern Warfare 1 and 2 (as well as their DLC) are 50% off on Steam for the Midweek Madness. I've been tempted to get these for the campaign for a while, but can not justify their normal asking price. Is this a good price for the campaigns alone? Or should I stick to my plan to rent for a console?

Ahh, the controller window. About time someone revisted it. Dreamcast did it with their memory cards. Nintendo tried it out on the Gamecube with the Gameboy Advance. Nintendo DS sold the concept for non-multiplayer avenues, a seperate screen for info from the play screen. I hope it becomes standard for all consoles by next generation. But I don't want $150+ controllers out of it.

On PC you have like 5 options regarding Visuals (Thats naturaly without standard schmuck like AntiAliasing and Resolution.) and fine tuning in the ini (if you spend the time) I'm more wondering if it's improved or mainly the same. I swear that the trailers looked bettwe than what I saw on the 360 demo. My memory is generally terrible.

Anyone play both demos and have an opinion as to visuals?
