Tale

I really haven't commented on this anywhere. It's like I've been ignoring it. Which is odd, since I'm practically a DA:O fanboy. DA:O is the only reason I started caring about Bioware again. After hating Neverwinter Nights, being completely unispired by Jade Empire, and resoundly meh'ing at Mass Effect, the only reason I gave it a shot was because of my Claudia Black fanboyism. (Is fanboyism even a word? If not, must petition Websters.) And I loved it. Played it 2 and 1/2 times in a row without touching anything else. Unheard of by me. And it was my enjoyment of that which made me give them a chance on ME2. Which I enjoyed enough to also played 2 times through without touching anything else. But I still loved DA:O more. But I don't know what to make of it. If the overall direction leans to be like ME2, then I could still like it. If the story is more solid than DA:O, I could like it more. But the differences don't have me excited. I think the main reason I enjoyed it was the old-school RTS hybrid combat where I would pause, issue orders, unpause, and repeat, giving me that tactical feeling that no game that's not obviously a strategy game gives anymore. If 2 lacks that, I could still like it, but I'm not going to be excited for it. I can't explain it, but the change in direction for the sequel seems to be killing my interest in DLC of the original. Must ponder on this.

I was probably going to pass on New Vegas due to general Fallout 3 related disinterest. But Alpha Protocol changed my mind. Is it October yet?

Just beat Alpha Protocol. Sorry for doubting Obsidian. It has a few rough spots, (one defense scenario comes to mind) but otherwise it might be the best game I played this year.

Tips: (Also known as things you can figure out in 5 minutes of offline practice, so why don't you know them at level 5?) There is a yellow triangle on your map. That is your destination. Reloading discards unused ammo in the magazine. The sentry is not your primary weapon, stop carrying it around and trying to set it down at every opportunity.

Rented to completion Singularity, rather enjoyed it. Played some Ultimate Alliance 2 since they re-released the DLC I missed. Am downloading Alien Swarm, a free game from Valve for those who are unaware. If I remember, I'll render an opinion later. Tried out the Deathspank demo, the humor is nice, but I see the game getting repetitive before I would get too far into it. Tomorrow or the next day, I'm looking to play Cryostasis and maybe replay all the Dragon Age DLC I missed. Maybe some Mass Effect 2 DLC. I'm getting a new power supply tomorrow, so I should be able to play them for the first time in months without my computer powering down after 5 minutes. Mass Effect 2 is the last new game I completed prior to my power supply going wonkers. With Dragon Age: Awakenings being the last game I completed in spite of it.

Isn't it awesome? I'm not a one forum man, baby. You can't hold me down.

I come back and this is what I find? :'(

Yeah, I was able to continue downloading the movies I rented, but it won't let me watch them until it corrects my date.

How is a date/time glitch that lasts for probably a day worse than your motherboard warping and requiring repair?

I wonder why more bad games can't get this much trolling.

How is it? Only on the second case. With the first case following the tradition of being part-tutorial. It's coming across well so far.

Beat Heavy Rain today. I can recommend. And am alternating between a newly arrived DVD copy of Planescape Torment and Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.

Bah, it's same as before... My wow casual ex-guild already killed 10 out of 14 bosses in Ulduar25... 2 weeks after they released it... i am so glad that i have quit the game... it's absolute EZ mode :S I'm sure you guys were right on track to have Algalon on farm for week 3.

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars for the DS. Mas bueno.

I actually liked Butcher Bay more than Dark Athena, but Dark Athena was good. DA had too many forced fights and not enough interesting little gimmick sequences. And that entire sequence around the gravity generator was annoying as heck.

Because you're the prototype for the others! Which is a fascinating idea, really. It would make the character potentially more human, if you assume they devolved into what we saw in Bioshock 1. Maybe.

Much wisdom in this one.

Still haven't finished X3: Terran Conflict, Persona 4, STALKER Clear Sky, Resident Evil 5, or Street Fight IV. Will soon, though.

My bet.

Seriously, I'm going to go take a nap. Wake me up when this movie is having early midnight premiers.

This is my movie to see this year. If the third trailer had come out before Watchmen hit theatres, it would have overshadowed my Watchmen anticipation. I can not stop rewatching Trailers 2 and 3. I can't. And "James T. Kirk was a great man. But that was another life." won't stop repeating in my head.

Debating on playing Halo Wars. I got my sixth copy in today. I guess I should open one. hah

they've cut the amount of XP to get to 60 twice (I think by 30% both times but I'm not sure) and the amount to get to 70 once (again, 30%) you accelerate up the levels so fast you won't have enough gold to get all your skills, much less your professions up. Nonsense. Gold is insane now. I have 330 gold in the bank. I blew 100 gold two days ago on Glyphs. I had 330 gold before then. So, what did I make in two days? Selling junk you find and quest rewards is enough for your skills. Get a gathering profession and that'll be pure profit. well, my 30 Paladin (be on Bronzebeard) I had to shift money to to keep her getting her skills. now my gold may just start skyrocketing when I hit 40 but I'm trying to level jewelcrafting (but am thinking I should just leave that for 80) and mining Trying to level a crafting profession has always drained your gold. It's why my Gnome was so bloody poor. And my Undead.

I only play Warlocks.
