53% for Hillary on CNN with 22% counted.

I've heard something about Hillary leading by 4.

Well ~Di seemed to like it even though she had the same problem, give it a try. Personally I think it's strange reason to give up a game that you might like. Edit: Oh and happy birthday I guess.

That wasn't my point though. I could change my example though, if it makes it easier for you guys on the other side of the pond. Should the ESRB also rate a sexless game higher if a leisure suit larry naked lapdance can be accessed via an obscure and not documented console-hack?

Tried again several times, answering the questions with the same answers every time and only differing when it comes with a new question: Charmander. Bulbasaur! Psyduck. Psyduck. Psyduck. Pikachu. Bulbasaur! Charmander Treecko. I don't want to think about the fact that I have 1/3 Psyduck in me.

Cyndaquil.

Link for number one doesn't work for me.

There is, as well as a 360 release. Personally I'm reading the interview and has trouble imagining proper melee against zombies in a game.

Stalker with zombies and a chick that I don't care about? I might like it if they do a proper ammo shortage.

The problem with that stance is that you would have to do console hacking or modding to get to it, and as such be intentionally looking for it. It isn't quite as simple as what the ESRB ussually rate, which is stuff that can be easily installed and as such accessed. Should the ESRB also rate a bloodless game higher if blood can be accessed via an obscure and not documented console-hack?

I saw something about a company trying to make voxels viable again, byt yes they are mostly dead. Quite fun though in a non-commercial way

Voxelstein 3D A voxel based wolf3d. Very good.

BGTUTU is BG1 in BG2 engine and as such BG2 spells, classes etc. It does make BG1 somewhat more playable.

Less than a day apart. I count STALKER as becoming easy once I take out the military by the bridge and that is usually withing the first five to ten hours.

I have to agree with random n00b, "artistic ambition" really isn't very specfic at all. What is it that would make a game artistically ambitious? Krezack answered the question well enough, but i can give a comparison to modern movies. Take "Taxi Driver" or "Apocalypse Now!", movies that many consider to be one of the best ever, but are they entertaining? Certainly not, compared to most comedies and action movies, like Die Hard and The Terminator and The Predator. Those two movies by copppola and scorsese are some of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. I think a problem here is the definition of entertaining, entertaining means something more along the line of giving pleasure to the person being entertained and I derive gobs of pleasure from coppola and scorsese. If anything artistry should be viewed as the highest form of entertaining. Anyway, I like how the people who had to tell us what 'artsitic value' is, did so by using equally vague terms or by showing us something of artistic value. Doesn't really help any of us self-proclaimed art-illiterates how to recognize art.

Halflings. They were halfling villages. That explains a lot... No seriously, it probably shows how little I actually remember from those games.

I'm just sad that noone is taking visible steps towards letting China know that it is behaving like a spoiled child. If a child is behaving badly, then you correct that behaviour in the early years before it has a chance of becoming too much a part of it.

There are no awesome gnome villages in BG2 and as such BG1>BG2.

Also those quotes are many ingame hours apart and STALKER stops being in any way difficult midgame and then picks up again later.

Am I really the only one that thought that JE's story were the biggest dissapointment in modern gaming? It was like they were drunk on the success of the KOTOR plot twist and thought it would work a second time if they just changed the character who changed midway, it probably could have worked better if they hadn't introduced the water dragon too early.

They are nearly as different games as you can get while still keeping the ruleset and the setting i.e. BG2 is epic in scope and in levels whereas BG1 is the xact opposite. BG2 is much more limited exploration wise and BG1 actually has Areas with nearly nothing in it. You guys probably already know all this, my point is just that I think we should only have been surprised if people didn't prefer one to the other. Also I prefer BG1 because of the somewhat rural beginnings, interesting world exploration wise AND THE MUSIC!. BG2 has huge upsides (The partymembers actually talks regularly ) but is also quite boring in many ways.

I was talking about the present and not about the past. More specifically about the question whether politics should be brought into the olympics in 2008. I also forgot to mention that the reason that they are bringing politics into the olympics is the route that they want through Tibet and, originally, through Taiwan as well. I do realize that the Olympics have been politicised before.

I've only skimmed the thread so this might have already been touched upon, but am I the only one who is troubled by the Olympic torch relay, considering that it was introduced by nazi Germany as a means to promote Nazi ideology? If anyone can be accused of politicising the Olympics it surely has to be China.

That surely is the understatement of the week, its roleplaying was on par with the sims!

It was awesome.
