Tale

For the life of me I can't understand how anyone could not like Episode 2 but like Episode 1. If anything, Episode 2 came up with what Episode 1 failed to deliver, the very least of which was anything resembling suspense and a kick-ass strider battle. At least the addition of the Hunter was more interesting than the addition of the Zombines. I really really really hate using physics props to cross areas. Sandtrap? Worst area ever. That one tunnel that was filled with hazardous waste and zombies? Second worst area ever.

Time to start Mask! Just beat Neverwinter Night 2 with my evil ending. DANG that last fight is tough. And by tough I mean even with dm_god on it took forever. Didn't take so long without dm_god. Y'know, because I died immediately.

Hey, if someone wants to play a game with only one hand, it's their right!

You didn't spoil it. The second season 3 ended, I searched around for the info.

That wasn't what you said originally. Lies and slander.

Still sounds like a waste of a gun.

What a waste of a gun.

This is the new design, by Alex Ross. I like some of it, but hate other parts. I can live with it. The gun indicates a more morally neutral Cap, which indicates either Winter Soldier, or someone new donning the mask. It won't last long. People don't read Marvel comics to see people shoot the villains unless they're reading Punisher. So many hero/supervillain conflicts in Marvel wouldn't last two pages if one guy just shot the enemy.

Pfft. Most girls don't need a guy to turn them against their boyfriend. You're just an excuse to justify their already existing resentment of their boyfriend.

I'm slacking at work. I believe the term is actually "cyber slacking."

I ended up buying Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops over Amazon a few days ago. And now I find out we're about to get an expanded version. terrific

So now we learn of Sand's snuff film fetish. That's terrific.

Ein mehr. Then they're going to go over whether to continue releasing games as episodes or go back to the tradition model.

I thought the Orc caves were also pretty easy. They're spread out enough and your characters have levelled enough where they deal with them. I'm of agreement with Cant, it was just slow.

I thought Episode 2 was... I don't know. I'm not sure if I liked it or not. It does repeat somethings that it doesn't really need to. That whole using physics props with the gravity gun to cross dangerous "water" thing? Yeah, I FCKING HATE THAT! But, episode 2 includes it. I was glad to leave that behind in the original Half-Life 2. Otherwise, it's mostly good. Doesn't have as much new stuff as Episode 1 seemed to. Or maybe it did, it just had more repeated stuff + new stuff.

There's one point in NWN2 where I've almost had to use traps every time to get through without smashing my keyboard. The quest in the watch/thief lines where you must get the snitch from inside the house. That place is filled to the brim with enemies and if you try fighting them, there's a few places where two or three rooms worth of guys come at you all at once. I have to floor the place with every trap I've encountered up to that point in the game and just train as many guys as I can across them to the entrance. Takes ridiculous amounts of time to set up, but it gets me through it.

Neverwinter Nights 2 It would appear that the Grobnar did not recognize when I gave him the rune-inscribed whatever. It was in a bag in Khelgar's inventory and he wouldn't take it, but he'd talk like he was taking it. Then I move it into my characters inventory and he takes it! But, nothing updates. And I can't for the life of me get the ga_start_convo script to work using grobnar and 21_cs_construct as the first two values. I used to be able to do this kind of thing when it first came out! But digging around in here brings back memories.

It's something like the Warlock "gets a 25% discount since he never meets the spell component increased CL by 3" what?

The description for imbue item is absolutely terrible. Not because it's not descriptive, but because it seems hardly english.

Well, it can't be too complicated if I was able to have an even superficial grasp of it when I was in middle school back when I first read about it. However, some aspects of it when explored as thought experiments are immensely counterintuitive. Further, the implications it has for order of events and how faster than light communication can ultimately result in breaks in causality (as some people have supposedly put forth) are what are most interesting and most complicated to grasp. And that's what I plan on going over next assuming my fickle nature does not take hold of me tomorrow. I'm trying to put it in words that are relatively easy to follow, as well, as the intention is to teach for those who may not have any particular education in even so much as physics. Or at least as simply as I reasonbly can without doing any serious planning. But, my ADHD makes my train of thought drift, so I'm probably getting off track. If anyone wants to add something, feel more than free to jump right in. Add, clarify, discuss, elaborate, take over, whatevah!

No.

Captain America is back.

They taste like candy.

I hated those gates with a passion. I hated fighting Clanfears with a passion. I could not fight a Clanfear without having to rest afterwards. It didn't matter if the Clanfear never saw me, he still took most of my health away. And they only got stronger?! JIMMINY CRACKHOUSE! But, my first time playing it I did play it all the way through. I beat the main quest, I beat the thieves, I beat the brotherhood. After that, I wanted a set of glass armor. When it came to the point that every light armor wearing humanoid non-civilian in the entire game had glass armor, I just didn't know what to do anymore. And all I wanted was a helmet that nobody wore. And even trying to replay it, I just can't shake that experience of the "end game." I can't play a game where I fight through annoying gates and clanfears just to be met with no real personal goals or achievements to strive for.
