If the enhanced edition doesn't fix Geralt banging Triss even if you had picked Shani in TW1, I won't even bother spending half my bandwidth on it.

HBO's Game of Thrones
Very good episode. I liked Brienne's reveal and Margaery's a hottie. Tyrion's still running away with the show. Asha's a disappointment, but I'll be able to (literally) look past her.

Cartoon/Anime/Comic settings you would like to see a rpg set in
One of the cartoons of my youth had a very thinly veiled allegory to Third Reich and German occupation. Nowadays, in our politically correct society stuff like this would never be able to pass.

Bethesda twitted mysterious pic of Eddard Stark in palace dungeon.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!
Console version of Crysis was released only last year. Then again, maybe those Russian hacker whizkids ported it already four years in advance.

Cartoon/Anime/Comic settings you would like to see a rpg set in
Shigurui/Berserk is the only anime I want to see turned into RPG. Record of Lodoss War has a special place in my heart, but that's already the Japanese version of D&D. Sailor Moon, though, could be interesting.

What are you playing now?
I'm too old for strafing around, taking swipes and potshots at enemies. I'm surprised this Grimrock is so popular. Played enough of Lands of Lore (the old school version of Oblivion, Patrick Stewart included) and Eye of the Beholder when the animals could still speak.

Hardest fight was with blood mage overlord in Denerim... if that guy managed to set off Blood wound, your party was gone. It was made harder because of cutscene teleportation, too.- Cartoon/Anime/Comic settings you would like to see a rpg set in
Obsidian should do sequel to Largo Winch: Empire under Threat as spiritual sequel to Alpha Protocol. Ther groundwork is there already. Turn-based combat! Checking e-mails! Hacking minigame! Romance! And remember, folks, this was 2002! Obsidian, do EET! Also, I had no idea there's a Thorgal videogame, also from 2002! I must check this one out, Thorgal is best Euro comic ever, after 666/6666!- Cartoon/Anime/Comic settings you would like to see a rpg set in
Anything in Sigilverse.- As expected and yet surprisingly well done
Is a sequel to DS3 completely ruled out? Has Squeenix made any statements regarding the future of the franchise?- Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I like Skyrim as a setting much better than the generic Cyrodiil, but I can only take as much Viking inspired crap. I truly wish for a future TES game (if the series won't peter out into a MMO) to be set in another exotic setting. Akavir would be ideal (Oriental inspired setting), but I'd grudginly accept Elsweyr as well. That's why I'm curious what Bethesda will do in future expansions/DLCs now that they've established the groundwork with Skyrim. Shivering Isles after Oblivion had two very distinct factions to choose from, and you could even betray one of them at one point or play them against each other, IIRC. Bloodmoon and to a lesser extent, Tribunal, had it too.- Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
A comment in another thread about Joe Abercrombie being a gamer led me to his thoughts on Skyrim: http://www.joeabercrombie.com/2011/12/06/skyrim-2/ He seems quite the gamer, actually, now I wonder about Brandon Sanderson.- Future of the Dragon Age franchise

Jade Empire must be anti-epic. Your awesome character turns out to be nothing but a convenient tool used by the true villain to remove his rival. If only the twist hadn't been so obvious.- JRPGs

Somehow I think there wouldn't be as much drama about the ending if in place of the retarded Star Child, there had been Cortana.- JRPGs
- Movies you've seen recently
Bloodrayne: Third Reich Not as terrible as I had expected it to be. After all it had some gratuitous (albeit hot) girl-on-girl action and Natassia Malthe is a fine specimen to watch.- Republican Candidates
I can't believe I only noticed now that Santorum is a Jerry Seinfeld lookalike.- What other classic games would you like to see Kickstarter Revival for?
Loom remake/sequel Betrayal at Krondor remake/sequel Full Throttle sequel Anachronox sequel DaggerXL Only Betrayal at Krondor at this point is likely to happen after Feist has finished out his latest book. DaggerXL is doable, but the issue is copyright.- Justin Cherry also left Obsidian
This really sucks. It seems he was with Obsidian from the very beginning, too.- Movies you've seen recently
That trailer would work, I guess, if I hadn't already seen all movies whose scenes they blatantly rip off. So I am very angry about this abomination. - Future of the Dragon Age franchise
