Played through latest Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 two times in the last week. Lots of new cool stuff was added and the game is a bit harder now + requires more tactic than before (with the last 1.13 version I've played around 1 year ago, the game became extremely easy after a certain point).

I like how their characters looked in G1+2+Risen, except the women. PB just can't into women models, they always look weird. :> /Edit: What I am actually scared about is that Kai Rosenkranz isn't doing the music anymore, if I remember correct. Always liked his stuff, it's a big part of Gothic + Risen atmosphere for me.

Fallout 3 DLCs had been planned to get a release every month. The New Vegas DLCs didn't.

I've heard about the ingame advert stuff already months ago, why is this news now?

This is much better:

Weapon handling, etc. looks pretty good to me. But rest seems to be like what was there already a million times.

Way too much bloom.

Guybrush Threepwood, especially because the name "Guybrush" came from "Guy.Brush" with Brush being the file ending and Guy the file name. :>

I wish there would be a new fancy Interstate '76 game, totally in the spirit of the original. But when I think about it... in fact, I just need a new campaign for the original game, with the fancy cutscenes and all and I would be happy.

Are the screenshots edited? I can't remember that it ever looked like this for me. (The grainy stuff, etc)

I wish it wouldn't be in podcast form, so I could read it. Meh, podcast stuff is annoying, especially because I sometimes can't really understand the said stuff.

Updated my mod yesterday with a file for OWB. :>

For console, probably, yes. I don't even know-- is the pc version using Steam or such? What's the copy protection?

Heh, if yes, that would only be America's Army 3 then, the rest is Steam stuff anyway (Source engine games). :>

They keep it. You only can't buy it anymore there.

Heh, I once thought about buying a rest stockpile of the headphones / earplugs (for my mp3 player) I like the most, because some day I just couldn't buy them anymore, because sony stopped to produce them. They have been the best headphones / earplugs I could find in all the years-- lasted long, didn't felt annoying, good cable, etc. Now it's too late, what a waste.

Oh no, I am using the same.

What, where did I wrote that? Check out JA2 portraits, check out JA Back in Action portraits, if you can't see the suckyness, I can't help.

Got similar stuff every once in a while. I feel awake and realize my surroundings, but I can't move, can't scream, can't do anything. It's very unpleasant. After a while I can get myself to wake up and it's over, with my heart beating super fast. Sounds like a big thing, but it's not so much. After such uh... dream..., I feel pretty normal again (I don't have it often, it's actually very unusual anyway). What I remember is, that I once tried to talk / scream for help so that someone wakes me up, but it didn't worked. *This* is the worst bad thing, which is also the reason why I will never ever intoxicate / deafen me fully if I'll have to undergo some operation. My fear is just way too big that I would be awaken, but just can't move. :> (There have been cases like that already)

I can't look at the interface. Not sure if serious. And now please don't come with "graphic whore" and stuff. There is a difference between good graphic style and fugly shizzle that all looks the same crap and additionally is totally different than the original. If there wouldn't be "Shadow" or "DrQ" under these portraits, I would have never connected them. Same with most of the other AIM folks from the screenshot that is flying around in the internet.

Joerg langer (the speaker) said, that it's some alpha build that *still* uses the original JA2 voice files. The *still* makes it sound as if it will change later. In any case, character portraits are ugly as hell.

Yes, that's what I meaned. You have to click through dialogue to "level up" in the speech skill? Would be extremely stupid. Or maybe it's just pure random if you will win a speech check or not and based on how often you win, you level up, etc... In any case I find such a "level up speech by doing"-kind of system very bad.

But afair you don't spend skill points? Hope it's not "level up by doing" ...

As far as I could see, there are only dialog options and no other buttons anymore. Was that speech mini-game of any worth anyway? I never used it and I can't remember any situation where it would have been needed in some kind of way. For me it was just there for lulz and nothing more.

As a rule? I have my doubts.
