Monte Carlo

I think I should add a general warning at this stage: if this thread gets any more awesome I might have to explode.

IT WILL NEVER BE RELEASED!

It's O.F.F.E.N.C.E Bloody Merriam-Webster dictionary. Although I'm sorry about gramps.

What, on a pirate ship or in a punishment battalion? I'm so very sorry :: sobs :: then again it must be a brilliant anecdote for a dinner party or apres-work c0cktails.

Interestingly, the comments on the thread Morgie posted (I like calling him Morgie, I suspect he hates it) think it's CoH2. I know there are some CoH players here... if they did go down that route :: sacrifices favourite goat to Relic :: what setting would you like? More WW2? (the fanbois naturally want the Ostfront but given the superlative fan mod that covered that... why?) Others want the Pacific... Some want a modern CoH game... (NOOOOOO!) I think CoH2 Korea would be awesome but am guessing most early twentysomethings think Korea is a place where they televise Starcraft and live next door to the puppets from Team America: World Police.

This is a small board packed with super-sized contrarians, we boast less esprit de corps than a 17th Century pirate shipped crossed with a Sven Hassel style punishment battalion. It's like a sack of slightly drunk rats. Most of us couldn't be bothered to hate each other, but with a slightly better diet and / or caffeine intake would. Which is why it's a good forum. I love it. It's the Codex (lite) without the about-to-ascend-a-clocktower-with-a-hunting-rifle quotient. Popularity breeds mediocrity, if that makes me an elitist backwoodsman then meh, mea culpa. Bioware is the living embodiment of that. The fanbase they've picked up buys their games in gazillions... what else do they need to worry about? Cheerio Monte

Most important gaming news of the decade for this callsign, CoW3 makes little sense given the new standalone title, Homeworld is massive but the sales don't relate into mucho dinaro as much as the other two and the cancelled CoHO fiasco makes CoH2 look riskier than going for ten pints and a curry with Walsingham. So it's all up in the air, although of course if it's CoH2 then I'll be dancing like a mad crazy happy thing for a month.

We don't need more heretical scum trying to impurify the Master race! At last we agree, what's more, we agree violently. And I am not a princess, punk, I'm a Diva.

Yes I used to post on their old Baldur's Gate series boards and they were fine too.

It's a quote from the pilot of Burn Notice, by the way.

Look, Bioware has hired a lot of people who have started to believe their own press. They are aided and abetted by some of the most sycophantic and creepy fans on the internet.

I'm currently listening to Puddle of Mud's Come Clean as I'm in a bit of a rock phase at the moment, as well as the Foo Fighter's superlative live album Skin & Bones. In the car is some Santana, because I am that cool, and some Thirty Seconds to Mars because I'm macho enough to admit liking girly emo-rock occasionally.

OK, I shall give it a go when I have some time. The first mission starts then it's WTF! There are heroes attacking your dungeon and no clue how to stop them.

Hmmm. You have a reputation for honesty. Shall I just take it back now?

I know, it looks freaking awful, like a parody of a parody.

It feels like an age since I played BG2, it's on my laptop so I'm doing another game with six of my own characters. I'm trying to play the most evil, low rep party possible with some unusual character combos. Using the twinky anti-paladin kit for my main guy. I've also picked up Dungeons, hoping for Dungeon Keeper 3. It looks nice but it's pretty complicated and the tutorial is rubbish, I might have to read the manual. Apart from that it really, really looks like the original DK, one of my favourite games.

Hippy.

Basically, it's Walsingham. I can't tell him that I've been hiding in a tree near his rugged man-pad / penthouse for the past two years. Watching him.

The technical term is "groundling". Can be modified with either "peasant" or "hoi polloi" Slowtrain, you have a near 5000 post-count and are a consistent voice of wisdom and reason on this forum yet you do not have a custom rank / title. This is a complete travesty, given some of the other crazies who have been so honoured. I might start a petition or something.

Dr. Evil from Austin Powers is teh awesome

Completely relaxed about it, Diablo would probably port well to consoles. Then lesser gamers can also discover the joy of Diablo.

"Filling the empty hours until DA2 is released." Bwhaahhahahaaaahhahaaaa. I'd rather watch paint dry.

These type of threads are great, because I loved the original and toyed with the idea of eventually trying this one. I can now see that it isn't something I'd probably enjoy so Tigs has saved me time and money. Cheers!

As resident CoH fanboy, PM me if you want an online game.

Rosemary's Baby freaked me out when I first saw it, late at night, on my own, having had a drink or three. It's slow-burn spookiness as opposed to visceral horror, but it is scary. Somebody will obviously chip in with The Shining, but having seen it again recently I would question it's status as scary classic. Lastly, and again in a slow-burn spooky / strange type of scary, the part of The Wicker Man (the original, dammit) where you realise what they are going to do to the policeman is also pretty disturbing first time you see it.
