bomped again in the FACE!

hmmm.... The part about them looking up your dossier, I wonder how it will be used to influence reactions from you?

longest double post on the history of this forum. Thankyou! Thankyou! (bows)

Also if that exceeds a maximum limit for a post, I dont care. Ban me mods, IF YOu dare.

*scribbles some notes* Yes yes, carry on. So, as I was saying, I, in all my rich snobby british greatness, can not be burdened to spend some of my infinite fortune on one of these things you call a "computer game". In the near future, I may have my cyborg butler Chives make me a copy, but until then, alas, this game will not be in my extensive collection (sips some of his 1912 scotch) speaking of which, I demand everyone read this exerpt from the greatest dialogue ever made. ----Ah, the delicate flavor of fresh handmade by a man with no arms swedish bourbon. A bit too strong for my liking, but a very fine delicacy none the less. ----Yes, yes it is. By the way did you happen to review the new issue of wine afficinado there is a quite intriguing article about the creation process of a 1944 german blood red Holocaust edition wine ----Yes, i found it quite intriguing. I will have to make my way to germany in the coming days to see if i may find an exsquisite sample of it. ----I will have to come with for I hear it is quiet extravagant ----Ah, that reminds me, in the last issue of wine affcinado i saw a extremely rare 1912 Pinot Noir Scotch. As soon as i saw the picture, i made my way to Ireland to sample its extravagant flavor. I quickly bought it at a steep price of 2000 euros, but i found it was worth it when i took my first sip of its elegant flavor. My taste buds seemed to bow down and succumb to its almost unnaturally fine flavor, not too strong but just right. I believe i still have enough for two more glasses, and now seems like a fitting time. * Takes out two glasses and pours the scotch* Cheers to good health and infinite wealth. ----Yes cheers to infininte wealth and spitting on the poor because we are snobbish and british *takes a sip* Oh my goodness this is just heavanly ----Oh, pardon me, i think i hear a ring at the door. ( checks through his high tech optic glass to see who it is) Oh dear, it is just another pitiful beggar. So shall i send him my beloved rabid weasels or pour this burning bucket of hot oil on him. Oh decisions decisions. (takes another sip of his scotch) I hear your wisdom is renowned from all over britian, what advice would you give me? ----Ah! Tough one but I say go with... the weasels they will rip him to shreds. (Takes another sip.) Oh my god there's an orgy in my mouth. ---- (pushes a button near his couch)( the muffled screams of the beggar as the weasels rip apart his flesh are barely heard from the living room inside) Oh dear, what a coincedence that a swarm of weasels would attack an innocent beggar ( chuckles to himself ) So whats been happening with your life charles? ---- Oh nothing new Edward just the usual going to an orphanage and giving them a check for 10 thousand dollars on it... that I didn't sign. Hahahahaha I hate poor people ---- Edward heard another ring at the door. "Who could be knocking at my door at this time of night?" Edward cheched through his optic scope just in time to see the mailman being eaten alive. he opened the door and picked up the mail. "oh, what a brilliant chance of luck. Its the new issue of wine affcinado. Just in time, as i just ran out of the other scotch. he quickly skimmed through the pages and was astonished to find a brand new selection. "A rare tigers eye 1567 unopened bourbon. " he said to charles. " we must have it, but it requires you to visit the winery in china" he turned to charles " pack your luggage my good friend " and so started THE QUEST FOR THE HOLY BOURBON ---- "I laugh at your joke of me packing my own luggage when I have Chives my butler to do it for me. He pulls out his new iPhone 69,000G "Jeeves ready the jet were going to China." (Cue theme music) There going on an adventure to find the best alcohol they possibly can there going on an all new adventure cause there the incredibly rich, snobby, pompous wine lovers Edward and Charles. ----a few hours later.... " tis a fine jet you have charles. I look forward to exhausting your wine supply on the journey. So off we go" steps aboard the jet. ----"Thank you my good man. Now lets pop open a 1968 britain royal port shall we" Charles sees a poor person and spits on him. "Chives get rid of this poor man." Chives takes out a fire ax and chops him up. "Thank you Chives just throw him with the rest of the fire wood." ----Ah, the poor beggar has so many uses. Lets have a toast to our spoiled richness, shall we? ----"Yes he does so to good health lots of wealth and an incredible immune to getting drunk. So Edward by the way how did you get your riches?" ----Unlike a lot of so called rich people, i got my fortune the hard way. I took over all the nuclear reactors in russia and threatened the government of Japan, Brazil and Mongolia to give me an infinite supply of fame and money or i will push a small button near my sofa that drops a hydrogen bomb on each city of the country.( takes another sip of his royal port) What about you? I never really heard how you got to have a pile of wealth like me. (takes another sip of it) This is good. You sure have an eye for picking only the finest. ----"Yes this is very delicious." Takes another sip "I own the Carpet, Carpet supermarket Carpet garage (I saw it on a comercial) I also own Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and I recently bought Barack Obama so I have all his money." ----Ah, a nice way to go. I should think about corrupting a president sometime. ( the aircraft touches down in China.) It seems were here. (gives his luggage to chives) Tally ho ----Steps off the Jet "There is no way I will be walking in this filth Jeeves bring me the flying carpet. Chop chop." Sees a chinese man. "Okay I demand all chinese gentlemen wear sunglasses so I don't have to see there slant eyes." Jeeves brings the flying carpet. "Let's go this carpet is stocked with only the best alcohol. Were to next?" ----" Chives, hand me the map" (gets the map) "ugh. A person of my stature cannot be humiliated to read this. Chives, determine our course" (hands the map to chives) and hand me that 1965 French Bourbon. I need something strong to quench the repulsive taste of unfiltered air. " ----"Yes I'm gonna need to drink that two." Chives whisperes in Charles' ear. "Chives says we must go to the chinese winery." Chives whispers in Charles' ear again. "Hey thats a brilliant idea. Say Edward what say we go through the poor section and through plastic food at them." P.S. This is like a bad episode of family guy. ----"Yes, but why should we throw simple plastic food at them, when i have with me fake food covered with sticky adhesive that when activated burns at 500 degrees celsius. Chives, will you get it out for me? Don't worry, it only sticks to people of poor stature. " ----"That is a most magnificant idea." Starts throwing T-bone steaks that start killing everybody. "You know this is fancy because it is measured in celsius." Takes a sip of alcohol. "Oh we are almost there Chives start preparing the stairs." ----"These new flying carpets are amazing. My Carpet back at the mansion does not come with some of the luxurys like a portable winery and Plasma TVs. I should really upgrade to a more modern one." (The stairs start to unroll) (edward throws a few more apples at the poor people before stepping towards the winery. "After you Charles " Edward said and held open the door. ----"Why thank you sir." Walks down steps sipping his bourbon. "Chives please bring the 12th century roman vinyard wine. Well shall we go Edward my good man." ----" Oh, we are right on time. Chives, start the auction with a starting bid of 30 million. And bring me another scotch. Yes the 1957 one " ----"Just for the humor of it I will bet against you even though we are essentially on a team. 30 million and one." ----"Oh dear, that man in the corner just bet 500 million. Chives, put in a billion for me. And bring me a bourbon, i didn't want a scotch you incompetent fool." ----Stands up. "Sir yes you who bet 500 million I'll have you know I make that in about 15 seconds." Holds up his paddle thing. "53 Billion dollars." Calmly sits down. "Chives poor me a glass of that 12th century roman vinyard wine." ----"ah charles, when will you learn that if you want something, you put all your money into it. Chives, bet 750 billion. That leaves 250 billion as leeway if someone can beat that. " ----"Ha good joke. You said put all your money into it yet you only be 750 billion sure you have at least a zillion dollars in the bank right now." Takes another sip "I bet 100 trillion dollars" ----"I see you called my bluff. Very well, if a zillion dollars is whats in the bank, A zillion dollars is whats getting bet. Chives, you know what to do. And i don't want this bourbon either, just bring the whole selection over here and let me choose." ----"Yes I did and I suppose I can let you win with the zillion dollar bet." Edgar Rorrington walks in" 2 zillion dollars!!" Charles takes another sip. "Oh god its Edgar an australian zillionaire who is my arch rival. 3 zillion dollars." ----(gets a phone call) "Ah, that was the mongolian prime minister. It seems they had a large stock market climb that netted me a tidy sum of profits. Chives, bet 5 zillion" (takes a 1878 dutch bourbon from the cart)" and dispose of the rest of these alchoholic beverages. None of them appeal to my liking" ----"Ah Edward good job you just got us the alcohol. Chives hand me a beverage of your choosing." Chives hands Edward a beer."Chives what the hell is this? Do I look, oh how do they say it blue collar to you?" ----Takes the drink and gets ready to pour it. All of a sudden, Edgar Rorrington steals it. "Oh dear! Chives chase that man. A person of my stature can not do this thing some people call 'running' " (Takes another sip of his Dutch Bourbon) "chop chop" ----"Yes chase him." Takes a sip of his drink."Wait Edward we can chase him on our flying carpet." ----"Yes, we can. Chives, ready our segways so we do not have to walk to the flying carpet." Takes another sip of his scotch " Chives, will you please hurry up? " ----"Chives must I to every thing." Gets up and walks about ten feet and gets the segways. "Yo the carpet." Grabs a bottle of 1978 French vodka and pours a glass. ----Edward steps onto his segway and starts to move it towards the magic carpet. He takes a 1974 Belgian Scotch out of the portable winery on it and pours himself a glass. " Charles, you should really think about hiring an android butler. He is much more loyal and reliable than Chives, the newer models can be in two places at once, and best of all, they come with a portable wine maker with grapes from over 75 countries. Im sure hed do a much better job then Chives here, and Chives already has a substantial fortune to keep him from being put in the poor category " ----"I can't fire chives he's my brother." Rides up to the carpet and pulls out a piece of Edgars hair. "Carpet follow this DNA trail." He then takes another sip of vodka. ----"Oh, im terribly sorry if i offended you with that Charles, its just i think he may need to cut down on the cupcakes, if you know what i mean. " (Lays down on the carpet) " if you don't mind, i am going to get a little bit of sleep on the trip. " ----"Dont worry I'm not offenses at all. Also I think he may be skimming off the top of our alcohol so we need to keep an eye on him." grabs a 1921 English port and pours a glass. "Ah I love my life." ----" As do i, but i think i would be so much happier if we caught edgar rollington and got that precious wine back." (runs out of wine) " Carpet! make me another Bourbon. And do so with the upmost haste, if you will. " ----"I see Edgar chives jump on him." Takes a sip of his port. ----(chives tackles edgar) (edward rides his segway over) "so Edgar, you thought you could still my delicious drink? You were wrong, as usual. Charles, i believe i need you renowned wisdom again. What should we do with our meddlesome friend?" (takes a sip of his bourbon) ----"I believe that we should throw him in the jellyfish tank as we laugh at his misfortune drinking our drink he tried to steal." ----"A brilliant idea. Chives, ready the jellyfish " ----"Chop chop Chives." Chives throws Edgar into the tank. "You deserve this Edgar just suck it up like a gentleman." And So ended... THE QUEST FOR THE HOLY BOURBON

Frankly, I don't trust steam. Ive bought 2 games and downloaded 6 demos from them, 1 game has worked. Valve is a great company, ive just decided not to use steam anymore. As for Deus Ex, I haven't bought a PC game for four years, so I probably wouldn't start with a game that i havent heard of since recently. pac-man wins.

I would also like to know this. (& i hope tranqing people has a cool animation) Was that a mgs reference? (sorry, running on no sleep) good god get deus ex and get some proper gaming under your belt thanks, but no thanks.. just like an RPG, i chose my own path.. why judge? I can't believe you've never played Deus Ex and never plan to. Edit: In response to your post directly above this one - no one cares about your 'past'. We're just telling you that you're missing out on one of the best RPGs around and that you'd enjoy it immensely. If somebody did that to me I'd thank them! Hmmm.... personally, I didnt even know Deus Ex existed until I signed up on this forum, and when everyone started talkin about it, i looked it up on gamespot and saw it as a "meh" game. If it was at a garage sale, id probably buy it, but im not gonna blow any more than 5 bucks on a game just because everyone says its good. Pac-man wins.

He didnt really annoucne it to the world, he thought it was a MGS reference and you guys are all like "Deus Ex! Deus Ex!"

Tree-Hugger 5G Complete the game without eating butchered cows.

yea my loss.. why are you guys so concerned if its my loss? keep it moving. i came here for AP.. not be judged on what games i choose to play. dudes got a point. I bet im the only one that'll say that I liked Oblivion way more than Baldurs Gate, D&D, Etc., and I liked Fallout 3 more than Fallout 1, 2, tactics, etc.

ROFL I estimate sales will triple if those are included in the game. Would also make a company millions if it was a reward for preordering.

seriously LoF, Are some of these topics you make actually going to have any affect on whether you buy the game? But, I seem to remember reading somewhere that Michael can take some form of drug, but It might have been for a different game.

Totally. I just hope that its as good as the dream version

so as i continued through the forest, I eventually found the boss, some guy with a rainbow afro and star glasses. i tried to reason with him, but since all my responses were in italian, I accidently pissed him off. So, during our fight,I ran up to him and bayonetted him with the knife that had magically appeared on my modded Ak-47. Also, during this time, Michael had changed his outfit to an ugly green sweater and REALLY baggy cargo pants, which added to the realistic feel. The enemie collapsed on the ground, said some inaudible thing that appeared in subtitles on the botom of the screen as 'Kerploosh!' and then died. A mission display screen popped up and leveled me up to 7456.

well, in my dream it was more of a demo, so I only played one small level in the forest. The trees were very realistic, even to the point of a family of squirrels living inside one. Needless to say I shot them all with my super tricked out Ak-47 with a barrel the size of a cannon.

this topic has been officially bumped.

hmmm... thats kind of strange. When it came to me in my dreams, It was third person, unlike yours. The plot remained similar to yours, but you must have been high or somethin because you got the gameplay all wrong. I also found the dialogue stance system very intriguing, because all the stances were in italian.

Oh, the good ol days of tomb raider 2. I have it installed on both my computers and still play it normally. Oh, i forgot to mention that i lost the disc 2 years ago. good ol days when DRM didnt exist.

Why not? I'm not saying I don't roleplay in different ways either, but I have no issues playing a game like Deus Ex, and playing the character and making the choices that I would probably do if I was in that specific situation. I also have no problems playing the situation for the type of character that I am currently playing. I only played the Demo for Deus Ex, and don't remember much about it.RPG's present you with a world and a character (as opposed to a persona). In Baldur's Gate you play a person born of bizarre circumstance and with unique talents. You have a father (figure), and a defined past with acquaintances. This game is conducive to extrapolated play; In Oblivion you are a criminal without a past, without a crime, and realistically, without need of a name. You have no defined ethics, no defined class, no defined goal (other than Septim's request) ~In other words, you have no role to play. Oblivion is an endless trek of meaningless choices. Sure you can choose the good path, and the bad, and the neutral; Become leader of all guilds, and all disciplines... and you can invent the role as well ~on the fly. Its meaningless, like water in the air with no container. Strange game, the only way to win is not to play. I can't say I have ever heard anyone else say that Fallout 3 reminds them of No One Lives Forever 2. I wish that Fallout 3 reminded me of No One Lives Forever 2. It reminds me of Nolf2 in that its a beautiful retro-looking skill based shooter with inventory and limited dialog and they both have a space level . 'Cept that NOLF2's NPC's notice dead bodies, and the game has vehicular combat. If your saying oblivion was a bad game, screw you. I dont like games that say, 'congratulations, you won! Feel free to play the game again' unless they have a lot of replayability (Alpha Protocol) So screw anyone that says Oblivion sucked. Same with Fallout 3. Screw you all, Im goin to Texas.

Portal owns every game there becuz the cake is a lie.

My xbox just broke sooooooooooo...... DELAY IT TO DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Sure, you click in most games. You also click in browsers and applications. I even click to change the channel on my TV. Way to miss the point. In Diablo/Sacred/Titan Quest, what do you mainly do? Fight. How do you fight? You click on an enemy. How many enemies are there? Hundreds of thousands. What does this equal? A ****load of clicking. See the pattern? And you call my argument stupid. You think these games got this click reputation out of thin air? I don't. I've played them. I know I said I left, but I must post again to keep this argument going. RE4 PC port. THE MOUSE IS NEVER USED. Not even in the menus. Take that system.
