Best thing I've seen all day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQhuE3b_GBU Of course, that means today was pretty sucky.

I wonder if I'm missing on something as a non-drinker and someone that's never been drunk

Still pushing along in GK2. FMV goofiness aside, is a fun story to go through.

Be sure to pack some weapons as well.

I should join a gym, these dire prognostications from my doctors are getting old. Really miss the old condo, had a tiny gym downstairs. Can't even walk very far with this busted foot too, but that's temporary.

Oh come now, it's not that bad. Grace being shrill to Gerde does get a bit painful, though.

Well Civ 4 game is done, pretty much, Persia's been broken so badly all of her vassals are breaking free (and promptly being slaughtered by me). Nothing like an unprovoked war of agression, heh, kind of funny to see what a bad state the ME is now, no roads, size 22 cities are now size 1 or 2 Moving on to GK2 now, preparing for some awesome acting.

Time & gas, obviously Although I doubt you're spending $50 on gas to the store unless you drive a Canyonero Office Christmas party location got picked, so am planning logistics of getting there and home needlessly a month in advance. Also should meet my University buddy again soon, but am loathing hearing him complain about being single or all the Chinese girls he finds are snobby princesses. Trying to convince him that he should just be happy being single, but that's a losing game, heh

Figured there'd be at least a couple of infantry people here, they can have nerdy interests too, after all. I still laugh at the memory of a Marine in Basra talking to the press and he has 'Shai-hulud' on his helmet.

Meh, not giving me any hope. People who have played about a third of it, somehow, are saying on reddit that the review is inaccurate. But then again, that's the average reddit plebe, so who knows.

Hm, Hitman Absolution got a harsh review from PCG apparently. http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/10682/article/hitman-absolution-is-a-mess-gets-torn-apart-in-pc-gamer-review/

Hopefully, Miranda's ass will be even more high detail.

That's probably how they see it. Odd to see NY, NJ and Oregon there, heh. You guys could probably let Florida go, with no big loss, no?

Wonder if this is old news, but - Talks about BIS near the end of his time, etc. That channel has a fair amount of interviews with developers, too.

Can't say I've ever felt I missed out games due to not bothering with a console since my Genesis, probably due to my narrow tastes in games though - stuff like the JPRGs never appealed to me that much.

Well Civ 4 game is getting interesting, heh, judging by the demographics screen this war with Persia has cost him 7 million soldiers, the middle east is a cauldron of death. Used to read 'histories' of people's Civ 2 games long ago, should have written one for this.

Tis all in good fun. Also I suspect the original comment was a joke

Fidel Castro was born

Tempted to make a joke at Obsidian's expense with that advice

Hm, don't think consoles are really free from bugs all that much. Hardware being standard doesn't save from poor coding and testing, after all. That and they can patch over consoles too, so there's that laziness there. You don't need to 'continually' upgrade either.

Hm, I've upgrade every 4-5 years and do alright. Granted I probably have more money to spend than others due to not having a life of any sort. OS upgrades are required relatively infrequently - XP tailed off pretty recently and I hope Win7 would run for the same amount of time in terms of developer support for it. Peace of mind versus a console, well, I dunno I always hear horror stories of consoles getting bricked and such, with a PC it's pretty rare you end up losing every component at once (friend's PSU exploded and torched everything once). Only barrier there is knowing how to swap it out or picking good components (not a guarantee, but some brands have a reputation for good reason) Hey, we're not a tribe, we're a cult.

Well enjoying smashing Persia to bits, rather nice start to the push - killed 2.8 million of his men, pushed him out of Arabia and Western Russia and took all his oil. Going to pass some time playing GK2 this weekend as well, long list of untouched GOG games.

All of Interplay 50% off. 80% off Telltale games and a 30% off on Deponia. Anyone play either of the Deponias ?

All these Sierra people need to get Roberta to plug them. I've never played QFG, but I'll pitch in for this I think.

Pretty much the same situation I'm in, well that and I'm lazy to start with.
