So Fallout 3
It was ok, not awful, say 7/10.

What are you playing now?
Well All Apsect Warfare was a brief glimpse into hell. Back to playing Civ 4.

Witcher 2 'leaked' video
I missed out on the sex in the game, I think.

Well hooray, guess we finally find out who the guy that attacked Foltest is, or something.

Activision CEO wants to take all the fun out of making games
Hm..time to emigrate. Odd how binary some see this situation.
-
What are you playing now?
About to fire up Derek Smart's All Aspect Warfare, I hear great things about this game.
-
4x games?
Sid really needs to make a sequel to Alpha Centauri. I'll second the recommendation of SEIV. The graphics aren't anything fancy by a longshot, but the gameplay's deep enough to make it fun. It's real fun multiplayer though, countless months spent playing it PBW.

EXTRA EXTRA!
Shame there's no way they both can lose.

that assumes that you would have to "keep firing" people... which is unlikely. fire a couple malcontents and the rest get the message: nobody is irreplaceable. HA! Good Fun! You'd be surprised, not a general case, but sometimes the firing's backfire and you create more malcontents. It happened in my last job, company got mismanaged to death, team kept losing developers due to the manager's wannabe hardass-ness. Was funny to see them go from happy to describing to me how they'd cut the manager's throat, though, hehe (frankly a poisoned Jos Loius was the best option).

You're right. Although even that has its limits, if you keep firing and replacing people for technical work you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Playing The Guild 2. Enjoying it, oddly enough, not encountering as many bugs as I thought (did patch at a date after my friend played it and told me about it, though).

Yeah, but most of the time you'll end up with just enough. Darth Vader school of managing isn't really the best, as you just get what you think is best, not necessarily what is. Still though, Activision does sound fun to work for.

Emotion and games. sadness and character attachment
I agree, that was a pretty sad story. I was attached to my squad mates in Ghost Recon, remember one riflemen did an epic act of stepping out in to a road way, hitting several Russians with an M203 then picking several more off then returning to cover with me. Alas he bought it in the second last mission.

What are you playing now?
I felt really bad when Jock died in Deus Ex, partly as it was my screw up for not doing anything after seeing the Odd Mechanic, pft.

FO:NV
Could always grant XP for exploring, like Deus Ex I guess. Would be interesting to balance gains from sneaking with killing and talking.

What is the best multi-player game ever
Starsiege : Tribes

Yahtzee reviews
Maybe, although The Dig was pretty much all there should be, same with Grim Fandango (although that wasn't even done by the time CMI came out). Not much room left for sequels.

Yahtzee reviews
Thought CMI was just as good as the first two. Was a pretty...dull video, I guess the Irish accent was supposed to be funny ?
-
What are you playing now
Playing Alpha Centauri, never really did move up the difficulty scale in the game, play on Talent - so I've decided to try to get to the middle or upper tiers. Addictive game, heh.

Favorite RTS and why do you like it
Ah I see, well good company loyalty I suppose.
-
Favorite RTS and why do you like it
Why did you play a 40k game if you think 40k is ridiculous, exactly ?
-
Favorite RTS and why do you like it
Well there is some, you learn a bit more about the Sergeants. It's not on an RPG level, obviously.
-
What are you playing now
Playing Deus Ex, not going through in any particular playstyle although tending to the sneaky and non-lethal. Meant to finish this game..uh..7 years ago, but university and other games got in the way and then my CD got wrecked.
-
Favorite RTS and why do you like it
Total Annihilation, liked it for the large scale battles, the soundtrack, the resource system and the (at the time) neat way fighters and bombers actually flew - rather than hover and fire.

WoW expansion details leaked
Damn, Thrall really is their golden boy.
