I think CSI had some interesting ideas, but then failed due to a> every CSI lab turning out to have bigger budgets then the rest of the entire PD, that they were turning around DNA results in a couple of hours, and that they could never seem to make up their mind which were actual scientist lab types and which were actual detectives solving crime.. Plus they did some horrendously horrible episodes on some things. Pretty much any murder that involved the internet or a computer game would make your eyes bleed from the terrible perspective.

Hm. I appreciate the idea of more things in the game. But I think I'd generally prefer the focus be on what we have now, then save further "stretch" goals as it were for future DLC/Expansion packs to add serious details to the world and other stories. Maybe have some more thought to how those future things will fit into the game as it is. -
Oh it's always fun trying to poke at intermittent faults. Especially when they don't show up for you.

Of course, now is the time that we start getting ready to stone all of the "regulars" who turn out not to have these badges...

It seems I am bereft of a KS shiny icon ... -
I've got to ponder on how to refer to myself for the in-credits thanks as well. Forum name, real name, some quirky amusing thing or what...

I was paying attention to the annoyance of Kanye and missed that start point of the fake..

That's what I get for multitasking...

And on the other side of matters.. The deaf community is in an uproar over the deaf interpreter who was apparently making it up as he went along. cbsnews - Interpreter for Deaf accused of faking it

The last time I answered the door to carollers... they sang one line, then stopped as if I should give them money then. I made them sing out the rest of it before I gave them anything. If they aren't going to sing in tune, or together, the least they can do is sing one entire verse.

Time to dig out "A Very Scary Solstice" ? The H.P. Lovecraft Society taking a turn on Christmas carols? http://www.cthulhulives.org/solstice/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptP0OR-e7rI&feature=share&list=PL450C345A766EE7CA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ftld7Ohojg&feature=share&list=PL450C345A766EE7CA&index=24

It took me a few tries. I kept getting the "Error, try again later" but after about half an hour it worked. So I'd say try again in a bit.

The Ukulele has become incredibly popular of late as an instrument to learn..... Surrounded by a bunch of Christmas cards, and chasing up addresses to put on them...

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)

Indeed. They spend the entire planet making you hate his character and want to shoot him in the face. Then the big finale is.. he becomes your companion and screw your sense of professionalism, you're helping him fake his death. -
Update #69: Pillars of Eternity
Raithe replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
I shall simply say... "Huzzah!" -
Actually realising its kind of scary that it's been 15 months since Project Eternity started. Various things I'd planned out over that year got disrupted, some unexpected things happened, and I'm trying to figure out what I actually achieved in this past year.... On other matters, that week of general illness has totally put me out of whack for December organisation. Realising I need to rush to get assorted Christmas cards posted to friends and family outside of the country along with a bunch of other similar admin. Also need to spend a day soon getting all the decorations out of the attic and up before it gets silly late to put them up. Hm, and my sister dropped her laptop off with an email from Dell. She's having issues, her warranty runs out next Wednesday, and Dell's "Support" basically keep sending her technical "try this and this and this and this and this" before they'll actually look at it. I half get the feeling they're trying to get her to waste time till it is out of warranty. But she wants me to try running through those questions and fix it or at least cover enough that Dell will actually do something.

Wait, how do I get those? You go to the Backer site which is now up and running and link it in. Hm, unfortunately it seems to be having issues at the moment and won't let me "Place my Order". I keep getting the "Error occurred. Try again later" before it dumps me back to the Customer Information page. Edit: And it finally kicked in.

Hm. I'll throw in ... Zafar Khan. A Turk general of the Delhi Sultanate in Northern India. From general historical records, he's supposedly one of the few generals known who never lost a battle in his lifetime. Indeed, he even managed to win his final battle which killed him. (So depending on just how you want to view that) - Although to accompany that fighting record, his army commited a fair few atrocities. Back in 1299, apparently he took on a Mongol Horde (around 200,000 Mongols) which led to the battle where he lost his life. But to go with that, myths and stories of the time (from both Indian and Mongol sides) say that he terrorised the Mongols before that final battle and that he had become such a force of fear to the tribesmen, that whenever their horses refused to drink water they would say "He has seen Zafar Khan!" Frankly, anyone who can scare the Mongols that badly has to be respected on some level..

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)
Raithe replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
I loved Smuggler Prologue and Act 1. The emotional pay off you get when you snag your ship back is great, and then the whole mysterious treasure hunt is fun. Act 2 has it's ups and downs, and then Act 3 loses the plot. Plus that finale that has you fight the big bad, and then still has you spend 10 minutes grind-festing your way out of a ship about to blow up..... Talk about ruining any feeling of triumphant success. The Bounty Hunter is pretty much tied to revenge. First revenge against the guy who kills your mentor, then revenge against the people who tried to set you up... The Great Hunt was an interesting idea, but I can't quite make up my mind how well they executed it. -
SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)
Raithe replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
I think both Sith class storylines work a hellava lot better then the Jedi ones. -
Resurrection is an interesting one. Whedon wrote the script and he the one thing he's always said about it is he's amazed at how they followed so much of what he wrote, but emphasised all of the wrong parts which left it coming across as wildly different to how he wrote it. Something along the lines of "Technically, they followed the script. But in reality, it was completely wrong."

If it's anything like Enter the Dominatrix then it will be really short and really really ridiculous and awesome. I already own it because I bought the season pass. I know, I know, I'm part of the problem by buying a season pass, but I couldn't help myself. I love Saints Row 4 so much, I felt compelled to throw my money at Volition Deep Silver. This coming weekend I'll scoop up some nog and get my Christmas spirit on with the Saints. Don't worry, I did the same. Sure, when it comes down to it with the Saints 4 DLC you're paying for the humour and amusing lines as much as the gameplay. Although I think this DLC is only about 3 missions, a bunch of cutscenes, a couple of vehicles, and some oddball weapons.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)
Raithe replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
Eh. Act II is all about setting things up to invade the Emperor's Space Station Act III is you storming around to find the Emperor's weakness and slap him silly. -
Well.. "How the Saints Saved Christmas" is now released. I am so going to jump on that seasonal spirit later.

Heh, did you know Michael Biehn refuses to watch Alien 3, because he felt that Hicks deserved a much better death sequence? Something along the lines that for all the effort he put into shaping the character in Aliens, there shouldn't have been some glossed over "panning shot of Hicks with chest exploded" as the end of that character.
