Given that about 40% of marriages end in divorce nowadays, I'd play the long game. Nah, the games are over. OTOH, I'm not going to start ignoring her or anything juvenile like that (what my father, a retired (full) professor, of all people, is telling me to do - happily I know better than to take relationship advice from him), coz, in spite of everything, it's pretty obvious that we both really like each other, and I'd be a ****ing idiot to piss that all away. I at least want her to show up in my funeral when I gas myself (too bad I have an electric stove at this place). No, seriously, this just means that I can split the country when/if the opportunity arises itself - no need to look back, if she or anybody else wants to find me, they'll be able to, just fine. Re: relationships in general, my problem is that I've seen too many relationships founded on a mutual fear of being left alone. I'm not afraid of it, I'm sure as hell not going to hitch up with some domineering hag after having been to the top of the mountain. Wonder if I had a point at some stage... gone now, at any rate.

Added it to my account it! Thanks for the heads up. I thought was that. Edit: ** If I'm not mistaken, the same company made Secret of the Silver Blades or Gateway to the Savage Frontier (don't remember which). ... Wha? Pool of Radiance 2, that heresy, shall not be mentioned when I'm around. Pool of Radiance (the REAL one), was the first part of a quadrilogy, the following installments were Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades and Pools of Darkness. The same firm, SSI, also released a Dragonlance trilogy, Champions/Death Knights/The Dark Queen of Krynn and another FR series Gateway to/Treasures of the Savage Frontier. Yeah, those games, along with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were essentially the only games I played from '89 until Fall 2000, when I got Baldur's Gate.

I really REALLY loved the BG(2) combat. It does call for concentration I really can muster up these days, but at least I have the fond memories.

Noticed my ex had gotten married. I'd say that about crushed the last furtive vestiges of hope I had for ever shacking up together with the woman I absolutely love form the bottom of my heart. ****.

I get it occasionally, too. Used to be more often, though, seems very infrequent these days. And it's pretty much just this forum.

Indeed. The new score stuff is pretty high quality, but whoever picks the songs they use is a bleeding genius. Benefits quite a lot from a good audio rig, this show does!

Deus Ex had a(n apparently) successful PS2 port: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/358/358322p1.html

Nah, they'll make some BS quote about exchange rates and move it to 140.

You are wrong! My problem is that I don't know in which group I'm supposed to belong, as I play with both! In fact, I happen to have a PS3 AND an x360, in addition to the "light" gaming PC. Is this just the gaming KKK coming after me for attempting to pollute the master race?

Was anyone arguing about their own superiority, though ? I almost went to the trouble of grabbing a screen cap of you saying that, and then post it here with the text written next to your gamertag circled in pink - but then I decided that since I'm down with a flu and have a splitting headache, it would just be too much trouble.

You guys aren't exactly supporting your argument for your own superiority with the contribution to the back and forth here. Jus' throwin' that out there...

Uhkay. Standard blu-ray is 25 single layer, 50 for dual. Not aware of any quad layer game discs, in fact not aware of any in the wild whatsoever. Best wishes back to the totally random deparment!

Everyone? Every second post in this thread is from Kaftan.

AFAIK, she's not supposed to be a JNPC, which is why the dwarf dude is doing some of the narrating. Not sure, though.

Never, I err on the side of caution.

Not really, I was bored to tears by FO3, I consider it the most overhyped game of all time (along with GTAIV - and I'm only including games I've actually played), but I quite liked FONV.

Because it was a marriage of my two greatest passions. Okay, maybe not two greatest. That would be some sort of Xenogears movie directed by Ridley Scott. But it's definitely up there! Or because some people don't approach games with a carefully cultivated aura of ennui and superiority?

Again, Thorton AP's pretty much vocalising what I'm thinking, so no use writing it again.

Thank you. Also what AP wrote on the last page.

No thanks, I only play online games with people who've passed puberty.

Except that its Frazetta who defined much of fantasy in general. Most of what came after were copycats. So much for your knowledge of fantasy illustrators Which is exactly why your post didn't make sense. Dragon Age 2 art is pretty obviously inspired by Frazetta's work too. x2. If you want to call for something non-generic, posting the primogenitor of what is generic now does not your point make.

This game makes me feel the kind of unwarranted superiority you guys have towards console gamers.

Or people just think they see it. Mostly entitlement, though, especially here re: any complaint or displeasure with a design choice. Although I guess I am elitist in thinking those that put the time and effort in are indeed better than those that don't I haven't used it or seen it used in that context. The feeling of superiority towards console gamers is palpable, in fact I don't think anybody (else) would even try to dispute it.

This. Elitism and Entitlement get used a lot because they are seen a lot.

I've been watching my older Chuck blu-ray boxes over the last week or so, and on Sunday, I came on this track in a scene: It's about as far as I can get from what I usually listen to (EBM, Futurepop and whatever the cool kids call the subgenres these days), but I'm absolutely unable to get this song out of my head. Considering using a drill, next.
