Wrath of Dagon

I'd pay $20 for Portal, I think someone (Target?) was having it on sale for $30-$40 recently

I ordered a 4GB 360 on Amazon for $197, with which you get a $50 Amazon credit, then I ordered a 250GB disk for it for $52, free shipping on everything, pretty sweet deal!

If you said that to start with, instead of something like "the graphics are crap", I don't think anyone would've argued with you.

So you think your opinion is worth more because of your job? How conceited can one get? Please, tell us, how long have you worked in this field to gain this awesome knowledge that none of us plebeians can touch? Ten years? 20? I think you're a ****ing programmer with less than 5 years in the industry. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not interested in taking art advice from you. I value the opinion of a mechanic on cars more than someone who drives them. That sounds pretty reasonable. You would take the opinion of a mechanic over that of a race car driver?

There was a study a couple months ago saying drinkers live longer, even heavy drinkers. So I started drinking a glass of wine a day. Now this study comes out and says alcohol is a major cause of cancer, so I quit drinking again. Damn ****ing studies!

But, but, it's the greatest game evar!

There will be a whoosh bang like you've never seen before, just wait a little.

It's the bank that's taking the hit, actually to be more accurate the taxpayer.

Jeyne doesn't sound like Loghaine, Loghaine's main motivation was that he was a Fereldan patriot. The Legion sounds like the Templars. Liking what I'm seeing of the setting so far.

They do

That's similar to a skill check in other games, NV did that a lot.

Bioware is just a zombie now.

The one with the vampires, you could kill either the vampire hunters or the vampires. The crazy paranoid guy quest could be resolved a couple of ways I think. The party assassination quest there was an optimal solution you could get. There were minor variations in other quests as well.

Now we're going to arm the rebels. In 2 months those weapons will probably be used against us.

Obviously a game for the kiddies. Give me an M rated Bioware game anytime, what kind of lame game doesn't let you have gay sex scenes while covered in blood head to toe?

Dying because you screwed up, not because you did something perfectly reasonable. That's frustrating as hell and takes you out of the moment.

Having to reload is not a good way to accomplish that. Apparently Crysis2 is looking swell on the 360. As usual, it's much more about software and how much work you put into it than the hardware. Interesting. I'm not doubting you, but do you have any linkable pieces discussing this point? Sorry, missed your post earlier, but here you go: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalf...rysis2-face-off

I've had a couple of ideas kicking around in my head I'd like to offer as unsolicited advice: NV is a great game, but doesn't quite hit it out of the ballpark. As is customary, I blame the publisher for not giving Obsidian enough money/time. Specifically, the 2 problems I see are a) Too many filler quests, not enough substantial quests b) A related and thus a greater problem, the plot isn't that good. The initial stuff with is interesting but then it just goes into a rival factions competition, which isn't a story as much as a device. To make matters worse, a lot of the main story quests don't really have anything to do with the story. Those should've been sidequests, while the main story quests should've actually advanced the story in a meaningful way. It seems to me with all the good writers Obsidian has they should be able to come up with a better plot, or hire a book writer for the plot if all else fails.

Here's some background on the reasons for US involvement, presenting both sides of the issue: http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20110330...henation/159570 This is probably the only time I link to someone like Hayden or the Nation.

That might make it easier to produce hydrogen for fuel cell cars, I wonder if it would be practical to have a home installation and fuel your car from there. Edit: Of course, there's also this: http://news.yahoo.com/comics/dilbert#id=/c...umedia/20112903

It probably makes a ton of sense for the US to do the initial investment, considering the costs of fuel, costs of wars to keep the fuel going, costs of environmental compliance etc, the initial investment would be a drop in the bucket. That is assuming this isn't too good to be true of course.

I know Krezack has posted about Thorium before, and it's not a new discovery, but seems especially relevant in light of the nuclear situation: http://www.thestar.com/news/insight/articl...ur-energy-needs

Books don't have interactive sex scenes. Neither did the game.. Or did I really miss something in the romance? But you all want it, don't deny it!
