Tale

No, mine's bigger!

LucasArts already uses EA for distribution in the Japanese market. However, nothing discounts the possibility of Lucasarts using an EA developer, but still publishing themselves.

Okay, so the problem wasn't dust. Ever since I got this widescreen monitor and have had to play at 1440x900 minimum to play a game without it looking funny, NWN2 has run like a hog. Moreso than it ever seemed to do previously, even with options and stuff turned on. Today I found out the real reason behind this. Xfire. Turning XFire off DRASTICALLY improved performance for NWN2 for me. I don't think I used Xfire the first time I played NWN2. Seriously, I was slideshowing whenever I was indoors and there were large amounts of enemies in the building.

I thought the ending to Episode 2, while exciting due to the , was too predictable. Also, still playing Neverwinter Nights 2 to get a character through it a second time before I play the expansion. I just purchased a PSP Daxter pack (also includes Family Guy!) and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. I bought it exclusively for FFT! Maybe I should play that some today.

Dusted my computer and now the game seems to be running tons better. It wasn't even that dusty. I guess I should clean it out more often than just every 6 or so months.

K3'll be made by EA... Not unheard of, but doubtful.

Do you read your own links before posting them? I only bothered checking the Pluto one, but it provides alternate theories for Pluto, including seasonal change during its 248 earth year "year." Or do you think Global Warming is blamed for temperature changes between summer and winter?

It sucks anyway. The original UT is still the single best UT! In all honesty, I'm more interested in an Unreal 3. I loved Unreal 2.

Good riddance, never liked that place anyway.

God Emperors have no use for the superstitious drivel of others! My own superstitious drivel should be quite enough, thank you. I only had 20 turns. If I'd used more, I would have declared war already. Babylon needs to go.

Somehow I doubt EA will become big enough to buy the company that owns NBC and Universal studios. Vivendi is worth 10x what EA is worth.

The great Obsidian Empire cares not for such superstitious drivel!

So... uh, where's the title movie from before I installed the expansion? It doesn't play anymore. It was a great movie and it no longer playing is totally not cool.

Turn 0: Change leader name to God Emperor Feargus Send a Settler to Enoch's green dot (two grids down). Set worker near Irvine to pasture the nearby cows. 1: Irvine's location seems prime for production with the hills and mines. And by production, I mean WAR PRODUCTION. Build a barracks! Worker at Peragus starts to build road between Peragus and Irvine. 2: Pasture near Irvine starts building. 3: Mysticism completed. Since we access Copper, Archery is started. Peragus starts another worker to make up for all road building and incoming new city. City of DOOM is founded. Starts with a barracks. Locals of DOOM seem to dislike all the jungle, so nearest worker, the one building roads between Peragus and Irvine redirected to deal with the issue. 6: Pasture worker near Irvine is done. Connects it via road. 8: Peragus Worker is done building. Begins granary since Corn will soon be accessible. Road from Peragus to DOOM started. Elizabeth makes her haughty self known. She's incredibly ugly and has her nose up in the air. Despite my better judgement I don't cut it off right there and jump on her face. I hope I don't regret it. Road from Irvine to DOOM started. 9: Archery complete Sailing started so we can get some trade in DOOM. 10: Archer started in Irvine because the local populace are a bunch of frickin' cowards when they don't have any protection. I swear to ****ing god. 12: A group of warriors engage Barbarian forces. Due to my great leadership, the warriors are victorious. Mine is started on one of the gems tiles. 14: Archer complete in Peragus. Granary started. 16: Sailing complete. Horseback started since we have horses near Irvine. 17: New Settler started in Peragus 20: Gem mine complete.

I never play multiplayer anyway. So, I say welcome to our new imba overlords!

Because I'm in a committed relationship with the Necrons at the moment. But once that's over!

If you're willing to be patient, I can do it tonight. Which would mean somewhere around 3 hours from now.

There are plenty of EA titles that aren't multi-platform. The Battle for Middle Earth series for instance. So nothing is given. However, the second BfME and its expansion both are.

And since it is Iron Lore, Tyranids can be included! Because it means Relic wouldn't be including them!

I'm definitely liking the enemy portraits in the regular OC. With the nice backgrounds.

Also, good riddance, I never liked you anyway! I just like saying that.

Oh, jimminy christmas, I just realized I have a furry on my friend's list. Must find a way to edit friend's list without being logged into Steam!

Slander and libel can be issues. There are no anti-terror laws preventing you from saying something over the internet. Unless, of course, you start making threats that are reasonably viewed as sincere. Since you have an actual hosting company, you need to ask them these kinds of questions. They can shut you down even if you're not violating any law if they dislike your site.

I've played plenty of games where I haven't unlocked every NPC's backstory or every NPC event. Baldur's Gate II being a prime example. I've played plenty of games where NPCs didn't even have backstories. Min/maxing has nothing to do with it. The apperance of numbers is a discrete and obvious reinforcement. The more obvious/immediate the negative consequence of an action, the more averse to it people tend to be. The less obvious/immediate the consequence, the more likely they are to ignore it. This sounds like the root of your complaint. It's operant conditioning. The presence of a - serves as a positive punishment (especially when the consequences of the - are obvious). Reloading occurs because that behavior [reloading] becomes associated with replacing the - with a + and the replaced + comes to serve as a positive reinforcement of the reloading behavior. I actually think I'm not explaining it well. Basically, people viewing the + or - symbols are given feedback that either punishes (-) or reinforces (+). People, in games, typically aren't very keen on punishment. So, it's often better to either not punish for simply mistakes (people come to expect punishment for big mistakes, such as mistakes that expectedly lead to character death) or make it not so obvious that you are punishing. I'm all for keeping the system and just obscuring the punishment because I think it helps to make the character interactions meaningful.
