I think adding a pause during dialogue option somewhat ruins the entire point of a timer.

Is Ron Paul that transvestite basketball player?
He was one of the republican presidential candidates for the 2008 election. He was somewhat popular on the internet with his anti-government stance, until it came out that he was also a crazy christian. The XKCD guy also likes to make fun of him every now and then.
Needless to say he failed miserably:
No joke though, Ron Paul would be a better President than Obama. His international policies are so distantly better than Obama's, and, to be honest, virtually anything bad a President could do domestically does not rival the damage United States has done via military force, coup d'etats, and proxy wars. I could write a significant number of words on this subject, but we all know you guys wouldn't read them.
Dumbest thing I've read in ages.

Wow a lot of games seem to be doing this now.
First Batman, now this.
yea thats an awful lot.
but nah, i do see this turning into a new trend & personally, i wouldnt mind it at all. it gives me some subtle insight to the characters & story.. lol i will forever remember, "Still curious who's Darcy's harassing, though and who the "MTang" address is - Maria Tang? Marla? Hell, could be Martin for all I know."
... hilarious!.. i later found out its a woman, Maria Tang. i havent looked up on all the characters yet. i dont wanna spoil everything for myself.

Fatal Violence - Terror on the Horizon
I love this band so much.
-
Go the stardock route, no DRM save an online account requiring CD-key activation to receive future patches, which is not needed to play the game.

Maybe Yahtzee will review it and like it. That would be incredible, and almost impossible.

Can't stop laughing. This is golden.

Redemption - The Suffocating Silence
Did I mention I love power/prog metal?

Really, I don't enjoy the prospect of a long-duration shadow operative. Short bursts, it's fine as an exaggeration of Mikes skill at sneaking, kind of like chain shot. But if you can stay invisible for more than, say, 5 seconds, that's really going to hurt immersion.

One thing that has always bugged me:
I fail to see why democratic communism is an unworkable concept. Communism is an economic system, democracy is a governmental one. Why do people always conflate communism with dictatorship?

Lord of Flies, ever one of your posts makes my day.

My favorite album/song: American Idiot/Holiday by Green Day.
no offence, but
My sentiments exactly.
I can't stand green day. In fact, I can't stand any punk at all.

Fast and rocking, you say? I'll give you the fastest, most rocking track from each of my favorite bands.
Angel Dust - Border of Reality
Fates Warning - Simple Human
New Eden - No Ill Intent
Destiny's End - Transition
Redemption - The Death of Faith and Reason
Conception - Building a Force
Gamma Ray - Dethrone Tyranny
Mercury Tide - My Dear Enemies (not very fast, but damn it is rocking)
ARK - Noose
All of these songs are incredibly good.

I love the Br00talness of Thrash Metal.
Death metal is more brutal than thrash.
I prefer interesting riffs, guitar solos, and good vocals, so I stick to power and prog metal.

New Eden - Stagnant Progression
I love guitar-heavy American power/speed metal so much.

I seem to have detected a flaw in your mission design.
So when you help Sie she will help you be more of a rambo. This does not make sense, because a rambo player would be more likely to fight Sie, and a sneaky player would be more likely to help her and avoid fighting her. But in doing so the sneaky player will be stuck with the rambo tips and the rambo player will be stuck with the sneaky tips later on.
Not necessarily. Being aggressive in your playstyle does not necessarily mean you'll be declining her offer for an alliance. In fact, the two are completely different decisions.

Other than the recruit and veteran modes, which change dialogue as well, will there be any generic difficulty setting which controls how tough the enemies are?
I don't want to be able to run through a level soaking bullets like superman.

lol you still buy GI.I was pleasantly surprised when I got my new issue of GI in today to see two pages of Alpha Protocol ads.I have two major memories of Game Informer:
1. They gave Paper Mario 2 (or whatever the hell) a bad rating because they didn't like the plot, even though they thought the gameplay was good.
2. They said Mad Catz makes quality controllers. I have bought two controllers from Mad Catz. Both of them are broken.
Yes, game informer reviews are usually pretty worthless.

You can kill almost anyone in the game, really, including pretty much every major character.
There's actually a way to play through the game where you don't ever meet SIE, as well; I was pretty surprised because she's always been a pretty major part of my Moscow playthroughs. But if you don't go to an optional mission, then she's just never featured in the rest of the game because she and Mike never met originally.
This game is pretty crazy sometimes.
Look in Bruce's eye and tell me you're not lying.
I know this is Obsidian and all, but this is starting to sound too good. Like once-in-a-lifetime good. You really are making this game, not bringing it back from the future, or forcing alien slaves to program it, right?
Trust me, I was as surprised as anyone. But yeah, thanks to the mission structure of the hubs, some characters you simply won't meet if you skip some of the optional missions. I mean, this is a major character who can pop up in multiple missions and is one of the romance targets, but it's entirely possible to never meet her in a playthrough.
Hearing things like this make me really wonder about how all of the seemingly very extensive freedom factors into the endgame.

Strange that these metal groups are all over the globe, there's even a Thrash Metal band from Botswana called Crackdust, and a South Korean Thrash Metal band called Crash. Hell, Amon Amarth, those guys are amazing and their from Sweden, Blood Tsunami is probably the most under-rated band and their from Norway, H.I.M. is a Finnish metal band, Sabbat is a Japanese metal band, Gamma Ray is German, and I could go on and on, yes I know, I'm like a Metal Wizard.
I think Conception tops Blood Tsunami, I've yet to meet another person (in RL or online) who knows about Conception.
Oh, and Germany has more power metal bands than the rest of the world put together (slight exaggeration).

New preview from OXM-UK

Mass Effect had a perfectly good plot. The dialogue and voice acting were pretty lacking (at times, the voice acting was utterly atrocious), but the story itself was pretty good.
