  1. I doubt legitimate copies of video games are even sold in China. Bootleg copies of pretty much everything are sold in the streets over there.
  2. You create another dipol. Voil
  3. That smiley is very appropriate, for (most likely) unintended reasons.
  4. So how is that game, anyway?
  5. div B = 0 That's one of the Maxwell Equations, and only describes the Magentic field induced through an electric current. It's the second law of Maxwell. Break a magnet in two, right between the north and south pole. What will happen? Also, you are referring to 4th law of Maxwell.
  6. I can generally forgive shoddy gameplay when the setting/art direction/music of a game appeals to me (for example: Elder Scrolls, Gothic, Divinity series), but not the entire way around. So I'll give this a pass.
  7. Well, Cassandra pulls off something that Frenchie in Origins could not: taking down a dragon (or perhaps even, multiple dragons) in flight. Then again, she wears a massive suit of plot armour for her coming role as romance interest companion in DA3.
  8. The only thing better than a cover by Boris Vallejo is perhaps one by Frank Frazetta.
  9. So many loading screens.
  10. Is this for a game or a movie?
  11. Centurion, Ironclad Both movies featured Christopher Lambert clones as protagonists, Centurion had an interesting premise of the mysterious disappearance of the IXth legion in Britannia, but it quickly deteriorated into Enemy behind the Lines set in Roman times, with some Magnificent Seven thrown in. The action was... pretty bad, except for some Battle in the Teutoburg Forest knock-off early in the movie. There was also some nonsense about a mute Russian supermodel huntress kicking everyone's ass, and a Pictish witch named "Arianne". Overall, pretty mediocre, but at least the moviemakers had the guts of having pretty much everyone kick the bucket in the end, plus it wasn't *that* historically incorrect. As for Ironclad, this one was much better. It again basically came down to the Magnificent Seven in medieval times, but as I understand, it was quite historically correct (dealing with the aftermath of the Magna Charta), the actor who portrayed King John was pretty brilliant plus the movie features some very brutal/realistic medieval combat (and torture scenes) that Hollywood movies set in the same era nowadays (say, Kingdom of Heaven) completely lack. The only downside was a cringe-worthy underdeveloped romance subplot between a Templar struggling with his oaths and a young noblewoman. Oh, and I guess another (minor) quibble was the discovery of Vladimir Kulich's man-boobs.
  12. Nothing can ever hope to beat Laura Bow and the Dagger of Amon-Ra/Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Serrated Scalpel when it comes to detective adventures. I laugh and weep at the cinematic QTE crap of Heavy Rain and LA Noire.
  13. I'ma gonna dual wield daggers in Amalur.
  14. Tell me then, were did you find that demo leak? I wanna play it now, too! Why waste your bandwidth when you can simply watch and draw your conclusions.
  15. The game looks and plays like one of those Korean action MMOs.
  16. You could either try to take out all goons silently first, or raise the alarm and wait until Two-Face is isolated, then take him out. If Catwoman is fully upgraded there is enough time (use critical hits).
  17. National Lampoon's Grand Theft Auto.
  18. That's the dumbest mod I've ever seen, and I've seen everything.
  19. Here's something special for Boo:
  20. They tried with DA2, although it seems that it's going back to what you posted considering the content of one of the DLCs.
  21. Sacred 2 had more success on console than on PC. And it had a dryad class that had to shoot peas at enemies all the time.
  22. I agree, but I also think that his next choice of employment cast enough light on his comments in general to make them rather suspect. There's still an impressive amount of people who worked on BG1 still in the company who've not seen fit to move on after ~15 years there... Hell, if you were similarly inclined you could twist this to similar, rather nasty results. Lame attempt. You should've linked to Brian Mistoda leaving during Alpha Protocol development (though that still wouldn't be up to par with a lead designer leaving in the middle of development of a major title).
