Wish I could disable the information that other people played game xy. It's annoying as hell. Everytime I visit the page, I see a 20+ on the left side. Urg. Other than that... Haven't seen any interesting fb games. Though, I am not actively searching either...

Whine bottles? woops. :> well, it was late in the night, but my point still stands. They are all drinking like mad men. I wanted to take screenshots everytime I find a bottle, but figured it would be too much clickwork, as they are everywhere.

I found out the big secret behind Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Everyone in that town is an alcoholic. There are whine bottles everywhere. Every room has at least a whine bottle, in every shelf I find whine bottles and even in the cellars and on the streets you find whine bottles. It's really no wonder they have "amnesia" if they drink so much.

If the console game costs 60€ and the pc version 50€, then yeah. Though, nowadays even steam releases cost around 60€...

Heh. Well, such a thing didn't happened to me. It's still pretty common, though. The most prominent one in recent time (in germany) being the case of Jörg Kachelmann, where two women accused him of rape (it's interesting that in such cases it is often two women, not just one - good to have a witness).

We could slowly fade the topic into the direction of male victims of women who lie about them beeing raped / sexually assaulted. It's a pretty big problem, as men are kind of guilty from the go. Even if they manage it to fend off a possible lawsuit / conviction - at least in germany - they have a very slim chance of taking the women to court and win. In many (if not pretty much all) cases, this will just end in "well, we can't prove that you have raped her, so you are free due to lack of evidence" - the damage still being done, the man might have lost the job, family, friends and whatnot, while the woman does not have to fear any conviction unless she confesses by herself (which doesn't happen very often, if at all...). Let the woman be young, pretty and start crying in the courtroom with the judge being a male and you have pretty much lost the case.

He does have good points. I skipped over the video and couldn't find a lot to disagree. Also he is not just ranting about it. He also says that the game is really good in it's core, but that the ****ty elements are pushing it down.

So Call of Duty is post-apocalyptic now? :>

Shirts with only 1 achievement motive on it could easily work. Steam would just need to prepare some first- they wouldn't need to do every achievement, imo. Still, I wouldn't buy any.

You can use the same stuff for a lost love too, even if it's quite a different topic. Me, personally, I am currently in the phase of depression.

It's funny / interesting, whenever anything bad happens, I find myself making jokes about it. I don't exactly know why, but it's always my first reaction. It's Apparently how I deal with such situations. Seems as if I am full with black humor.

By the way, the enemy turn time in my game is so long by now that I've started to read a book. Every turn I manage to read about 2 pages, more if nothing special happens in the game, like diplomatic stuff or a battle. I do not find it that bad, though, as I wanted to read more again anyway and just couldn't get me to spend time on it. :> Also the world map slowly loses more and more fps. If the clouds really are a huge performance eater, then I probably should check out how to disable them. They don't add anything to the graphical presentation anyway.

And then he will be turning into the emperor of mankind, the immortal ruling monarch of the Imperium of Man.

The starting position indeed has a huge influence. Obviously being surrounded by many potential enemies makes the game a lot harder, at least in the beginning. I slowly started to value the trade agreement a little more. Right now I have trade agreements with around 3/4 of all my known factions, which brings me about 9000 dinarii per turn. If I would higher my taxes to the maximum, I would make around 25k in a turn. Though, that's not a good idea, as my own towns would jump on me then. :> Still, as long as I only research and don't do much war, I shovel money like a mad men. What makes me wonder, though, is that the ai sometimes cancles trade agreements for (to me) no aparent reason. I mean, wouldn't this be the last thing you'd cancle? Like, a second before you invade the country? My tactic right now is to send the civic dudebros into enemy territory, where they spread latin culture until the enemy cities fall from a rebellion. Then I move my legions into the city and take it. Gives me a new town and the former faction doesn't notice it as a attack. :> It takes a while, of course....

The beta will start then, the full release was pushed further into the future.

lol @ life invader.

German YouTube tells me the movie got removed because it is against their naked & sex rules. Now that makes me interested.

Still haven't finished the game. After the Fall chapter started, I somehow totally lost motivation. I'll guess the game felt too repetitive to me. How knows when I will decide to finally finish it.

I don't mind the shorter battles. In fact, after just a few hours I am only using auto resolve most of the time anyway. The new province system is good. It greatly reduces the town micro-management. The political (internal faction) system... I am not really using it at all. Every 10 or 15 turns I remember that it existed and check the menu, but even then I am pretty much not doing anything with it. My impression so far: I like it. Not sure yet if I like it more than Rome 1, but it is on a good way, simply because of the better interface. Also I like the perk system for armies and all this stuff.

I heard that the G3 community patch is full with ****ty fetch quests. For me, nothing beats Gothic 1. After that is G2 with addon. I'd love to replay them again, now that I am thinking about it. Never played more of Gothic 3 than the demo. It killed all my interest in this title forever.

Is it a bad sign if you find evidence of DLC for a game that nobody know was in development at all?

Wish I could too, but the game just isn't starting anymore. It was running ok-ish till yesterday evening, then after clicking play in the launcher the last time... Nothing happened anymore. Now I've validated the game cache, deleted all files, downloaded it again, checked driver updates, etc. etc. but I simply can't get it to launch anymore. Oh well. At least the ArmA3 dev branch updated worked great.

Well, by now everyone should know that TW games are never finished on release, therefore I don't exactly get all the rage that is spawning in the forums right now. It was obvious that the launch will be ****ed up, especially considering they activated the review copies of the game only like a day before release. The scarce amount of detailed information that was not from their PR machine, etc... Whoever didn't expected something bad was either blind or didn't informed himself before. Me personally, I only played a part of the prolog yesterday and it doesn't look like a that bad game. Still, I have huge performance issues. The game is nearly unplayable, as soon as there are more than 15 units on the screen... And later you will have at least 20 per side... Graphic wise the game is a huge letdown, though. Even if I ignore the frames and power up all graphic settings, I don't get even remotely close to what was shown on screenshots and videos. My game just looks blurry and messy.

Because at best he will have knocked out an entire platform while they have to get in people to extract the mangled trolley from the train, and declare everything operationally safe. I honestly can't believe you think it's OK to just hoy steel trolleys into the path of oncoming trains. I didn't said that I am ok with it. I am more lolwtf about it. Especially if you see how that dude behaves as if all is totally normal. In the end, the train could have jumped from the rails,and cause some huge ****, just because one dude thought "well, why not." I'll guess my post was very unclear in that direction.

"Well, why not." Reminds me of these penny-on-the-rails stories.
