What are you playing now?
Playing ToMI Ep 3, liking it so far. Glad to see the return of Murray.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
I can't really say I have a desire to do so, but alright.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Plenty of ways, could make wounds not as fatal or the AI crippled, etc. I'll try to play it before I judge it too harshly, but just don't get a sense it'll be as 'hardcore'. And pfft, what do reviewers know :D

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Bah, I doubt it'll be as unforgiving as the first one. Shame.

Best game themes
I always loved this track from TA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP2spT0TwCw

World of Warcraft
Yep, EVE's UI is pretty nice - I don't get why people hate it and say it's un-intuitive or confusing. Anyone try the new Ony encounter?
-
MMORPGs and the single gamer
Well EVE's solo content is sort of 'meh', it's doing well. Sitll I solo most of the time, close to 100% in WoW - can't stand most of the plebs there.

So Fallout 3
Doesn't really sound like he's actively seeking faults, playing a psycho killer is a popular playstyle. :D

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.
-
Witcher 2 'leaked' video
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.

What are you playing now?
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.
