Tale

I don't play seriously, I just play arcade mode. I'm aiming to get all the endings unlocked, so I'm going through everyone.

My nephew came over so I got Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Nothing feels better than beating a 6 year old at a game he's been playing for most of the week.

So they sent out a detail on the 25th release of Retribution. DigitalRiver is sending out copies early to get them in time for the release on the 1st. That's all it is. False alarm.

Need? No. Want to get as many people virally advertising their game as possible? Who doesn't? The rewards are stupid (an item that gives you a little money and an item that gives you a little XP), so I won't be upset if they don't make the quota.

According to an e-mail I just got from THQ's store, Retribution has been moved up to the 25th.

Obviously, it was the elevator itself that's the devil.

By that he means they were kicking him and screaming "ACK, GET IT AWAY."

They're all up now, I maybe should mention. I'm really impressed by it. No specializations listed, though. Some of it is streamlined, which I know people hate seeing that word. There's "Elemental Weapons" which gives the group elemental damage based on the staff of the caster, instead of different spells for each element. Hexes have been cut down to two spells, but they each have an upgrade that improves them to being like a different hex. But at the same time, others have been well expanded. Rogue has a tree that's largely dedicated to moving threat around. Warriors have a lot more than just their weapon trees.

That is a good point.

Screw mother earth. I want to be shot into space.

Ultimately to their detriment. *VATS in on dynamite*

That's a nice concept. Really, it is. I would support anyone who tried to make it. I'm all for ideas that kick players right in the package. But I'm not sure it would go over well with the audience at large. For understandable reasons. Might not even go over well with developers, either. "I'm going to put all this effort into an ending that just makes them hate me and/or reload a save?"

Trailer for the Jurassic Park game. Apparently coming in April. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusiv...710663?type=flv It's from the company that so kindly named themselves after me.

How is this a bad thing? I am at a loss. Next you'll be saying "You know what sucks? Rock concerts held on the back of dragons in flight."

Because Vanguard gets the speed burst and Sentinel gets the shield. Cloak is for Infiltrator.

Part 3 of 5. Apparently Bioware asked him not to upload anymore, so do not expect 4 and 5.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

Hook swords (Shuang Gou)? I don't think they look like that. I more thought smaller one handled Batleth (those Klingon weapons).

Update, the previously displayed demo from youtube is not the demo we're getting on the 22nd. The youtube video is of a convention demo.

I don't think anyone likes the new look of Darkspawn. Ogres are especially bad and the reasoning for their downgrade is lost on me. Unless this is some sort of framed narrative effect and it's representing that Varric's never seen Darkspawn, so he has no clue what they look like. But that seems strained.

I know! It's blatant false advertising.

There are too many and it ruins the drama.

Do you know how many people named Will there are?! Stop making them.

It shouldn't be. We're getting that segment, then it skips forward so we can do the quest for Isabela. Or that's what I've gathered.
