Still wants an invitation code.

Jade Empire is in his overall top 10. Excuse me while I have a hernia.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you I've experiments to run There is research to be done On the people who are still alive

RPG Maker You still need an understanding of C syntax to do anything more complicated in Neverwinter Nights than create an area and connect doors. RPG Maker? You don't need jack.

It usually takes some applicable background to do modding. Either that or to find a game that has mod tools included (KOTOR would not be such a game). But, for even then you should at least have some coding or scripting background. Or even 3D modelling background if all you're looking to do is reskin or remodel.

Yeah yeah yeah, I'm still waiting on the return of Dash Rendar and the Outrider. Trivia: The Outrider appears in the special edition of A New Hope. in the book he died at the end. Hit by debris if I remember correctly. The book makes it appear that way. So does the game, however the game also includes the revelation that he jumps to Hyperspace just in time. As a multimedia project, the game, novel, and comic parts of it are equally valid. Appearances in later media back up his survival.

I've already posted that I'm playing Metroid: Zero Mission. But, here I am at work, wishing I was at home finishing it. I'm going home and will try beating it today. Then I'm going to plug in my SNES, throw in my Super Metroid cartridge that I never touched before and beat that. Then I might replay Fusion. I'm addicted to Metroid right now. I really hope Nintendo goes back and makes that new 2D Metroid they were talking about making. I'd also like to see a story heavy Metroid adventure that fleshes out the characters and setting, but I can live without that.

The Playstation controller is a little small. As for giving gifts early, I already gave my niece and nephew Mickey Saves Santa. They wanted it, but giving out Christmas movies on Christmas is kind of silly to me.

You dislike Stephen King? Though I do find Eyes of the Dragon to be painful to even attempt to read. I think I got two pages in before I had to toss it.

No, I was giving information. Battlefront I was the highest selling for it's time. It was trumped by Battlefront II. Since then one of the Lego Star Wars games has trumped Battlefront I, but not II. Of course that's all per system per title; per franchise, Lego has beat Battlefront. Shadows of the Empire for the N64 supposedly outsold KOTOR on the Xbox. Most information obtained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-...ing_video_games Claim that Battlefront was highest selling Star Wars games comes from Lucasarts advertising for Battlefront II ("sequel to the highest selling Star Wars game of all time") Kotor 2 doesn't appear on that list. But that could easily be attributed to numbers never having been released or, if they have been, nobody has updated that page. But, it's interesting. KOTOR sold 1.3 million on Xbox. Give optimistic numbers and say that it sold equal on PC, that KOTOR 2 sold equal on XBox and PC and KOTOR still sold less than half of what the Battlefront franchise sold. Hmm, this gives me an idea for a thread. Perhaps we should leverage the forum's massive amount of time to waste to look into this and get updated or more detailed information.

Would you like to know what is the highest selling Star Wars games and who made them? Star Wars: Battlefront, made by Bioware's sister company Pandemic. Included in the sale to EA.

Hmm, I thought The Black Hound was supposed to be a Forgotten Realms game bearing the name Baldur's Gate 3 (to avoid legal issues). What 'heretical' changes could it possibly have that would be so controversial? Also, isn't the project too overwhelming for one person (with perhaps a couple of occassional helpers) to complete? Armor is now damage reduction.

I started playing Metroid: Zero Mission, finally. Was wanting to finish FF IV Advance first, but started anyway. Something I don't get is how people refer to games of the type of Metroidvania. After giving Dracula X Chronicles a whirl today (along with previous Castlevania experience), the only similarities I can find is that they're side scrolling. Castlevania has more in common with Contra than Metroid. Or is it the newer Castlevanias that are more like Metroid?

Played some Aquaria today. GOOD GAME! Definitely of the Metroidvania style of games. Good graphics, worst widescreen resolution of all time, terrific voice overs and music. Gameplay's fun.

Impressive. Most impressive.

And for your first order of business! (that was absolutely not appropriate for this forum) This post has been edited by Pidesco: Today, 09:44 AM

I saw The Golden Compass. I enjoyed it. I cannot recommend it. It's absolutely atrociously written and paced. It is sometimes remarkably abstract (souls live outside bodies as daemons) and sometimes retardly overt ("a war on free will"). Everytime Nicole Kidman's character spoke I facepalmed. Her words illustrate how shallow and poorly developed the enemies of the movies are, or at least presented. As for pacing, it's too busy. It tries to stuff too much into dialogue too quickly and then immediately jumps into doing it elsewhere. Constantly.

Katamari Damacy. Man, if I did drugs, this would be awesome.

Last time I played through it, I just ran whenever one woke up.

I see reincarnation as a distant possibility. A doubtful one. I don't see its possibility as spiritual, but the result of the possibility that the universe is a closed system. If the universe lasts infinitely in cycles of big bang - big crunch, it is possible, just as a million monkeys typing on typewriters could possibly write Shakespeare, that I could be born again. I'm mostly a non-believer on it, all that said.

I've heard this line of reasoning before, not in reference to Bioshock but other games, and it's redonkulous. Unless you can upgrade them all RIGHT AWAY, the ability to eventually upgrade them all does not negate the choices of what to upgrade first. If that was the only problem surrounding the significance of chocie in the game then I woudl agree with what you are saying. The problem is that NONE of the small choices that are in the game really matter, so you get a lot of little issues adding up to one big issue. Even your plasmids and tonics are infinitely swappable. I don't have to make any decisions that I have to live with for the rest of the game. Even rescuing the little sisters instead of harvesting them doesn't really "hurt" your adam collection since you get the little present from Tenebaum for every three sisters you rescue, which is way more than enough ADAM to do whatever you want. Isn't that true of all FPS games? Crysis, which you go on to praise, doesn't even have a pretense of temporary choices. You can choose to make your suit this or that, but then switch right back on the fly. You can choose how to set up your gun then switch it right back on the fly. What decisions do you have to make in that game that you live with for the rest of the game? At least in Bioshock you have to live with your choices right now, unlike Crysis where you live with your choices never.
