Wrath of Dagon

I'm not aware of any hard numbers, but what Bio said about PC sales and the way they're treating the DA2 PC version is a pretty good indicator IMO.

When people talk about piracy, they usually mean in the West, no one expects China or Russia to pay anything. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/29768/M...Piracy_Rate.php If the piracy rate is only 5-10%, why did an obviously PC centric game like DAO sell poorly on PC?

Bio said DAO mostly sold on consoles (in spite of being originally designed with a PC audience in mind), and piracy rates for single player PC games are at around 90%.

PC version sold very little as it was mostly pirated. Bio doesn't want to spend a lot of money on the next PC version. Big surprise.

Shhh, don't give Bioware forums any ideas.

Did they also confirm they lied about 360 not being the lead platform?

I wasn't talking about quantum mechanics, that makes perfect sense. Edit: I was talking about stuff like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogdanov_Affair

You know what would be incredible? A game with a full palette of colors. But I guess 32 bits isn't enough for that.

You want a real RPG or something?

You can still eat it, but not the thighs.

I wasn't saying that's what the show claimed, I said that was my own hypothesis.

A lot of the stuff quoted from Liviticus is the stuff you can do, not stuff you have to do (bearing in mind those things were allowed 3500 years ago) Most of the stuff you have to do only applies to Jews. The stuff about the altar doesn't apply to anyone right now as there's no altar.

I watched a segment of "Through the Wormhole" and found it to ... and handwavey to the point of silliness. That's pretty much true of all particle physics, isn't it?

I think they also added all those job board quests while waiting for the console ports (btw, as I recall Bio wasn't even the one that did the ports).

I strongly suspected that when EA bought Bio, but where did you get this info?

It's called "Morgan Freeman's Through the Wormhole: Is there a Creator?"

Yes, it was on the Science channel and it was a show with Morgan Freeman which explored whether science points to the existence of God or the opposite. Don't remember the exact name but I'll post it if they repeat it.

I tried to buy that once, but it seems to be out of print. I guess I'll check again next time I'm buying books.

That wasn't a review, it was a list of games they considered overrated, therefore they gave the consesus score and the score they thought it deserved.

Speaking of Farmville: http://kotaku.com/5605532/how-an-army-of-j...hes-tech-titans

Right, and my guess it's both.

I think this is the best summary of DAO I've ever seen: http://www.pcworld.com/article/202393/most...ideo_games.html

Why not battle both?

The new healing mechanic should at least be an option in the non-HC mode as well. I think I would prefer that over standard, but not interested in the game being very fiddly, as HC mode seems to imply.

Storage of information requires energy, so he's not far off on that. There's a part of the brain that's been identified as having to do with a sense of self, though trying to understand how that could work is kind of like trying to pick yourself up by your own bootstraps. Interestingly, the same area on the opposite side of the brain has to do with a sense of "presence", or perhaps extra-sensory perception is my hypothesis. Just saw that on TV yesterday.
