Love your commentary alongside the title

BULL**** ALERT: Guy suspended over a comment he made, can't activate DA2. edit: just a mistake.

Hey, you can still strain it with NWN2 if worse comes to worse haha, that was really funny. Also I have a GTS 450 at the moment, I couldn't go for a 460 GTX due to my STUPID PSU and my inability to spend enough money to replace it and also get a new GPU along with it. So I hope it at least runs relatively well. I would be insanely happy about maxing it but I don't think it's possible.

I think that having a key for each stance, kinda like The Witcher's Z, X and C, with separate hotkeys for each (press Z-1 for fireball, press C-1 for healing yourself) would be pretty reasonable, what do you guys think? Also PC interface etc like Dragon Age. And oh yeah, I was wondering how the health orbs dropped from monsters work exactly. How much do those things heal you? Does it depend on how much damage you've taken (so, on hardcore, rather than avoiding damage at all costs, you always have difficult fights, but the player is always ready for them health/mana wise) or is it just fixed values?

I do want to hear some talk about the PC version specifically, how it plays etc, as everything I heard so far was about the console versions. Maybe they already talked about it and I missed it?

Definitely excited. I like pretty much everything I hear about it, and that's definitely surprising, as I couldn't care less about it back when it was announced.

I use imgur, as it is faster, not stupid about giving you direct links, and the URLs are short. EDIT: Want to add that this is not about me specifically, it's about the fact that several countries/regions (I'm not sure which exactly) are affected by this. Needless to say it is extremely lame.

This has started to happen recently: Apparently I'm supposed to register and log in to see any image hosted in imageshack. Well, I'm not logging into imageshack every time I want to see an image. I am officially enraged and spreading the news around. Use whatever other service you want but not imageshack because it is now ****. Thank you.

Would hate a console exclusive :\ First Obsidian game I wouldn't have a chance to play.

I think the last half pretty much made up for the antlion caves overall. Also, sandtraps type section? Come on man it was a 5 minute long sequence! Also I enjoyed sandtraps. Either way I don't think Episode 2 is "overrated". I mean, it came as part of the Orange Box, so most of the hype was about the whole box rather than individual games. Reception to each of the games individually was good in general, but I heard a fair amount of criticism as well (first half of EP2, bland TF2 maps)... uhm, except for Portal I suppose. Yeah, not really a lot of criticism for it.

FILTHY NON-GAMERS!

Hey guys. Half Life 2 Episode Two for $2 on Steam.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but there's a veeeeeeery long interview with Gabe Newell that recently came out, it's 2 hours long, split in two parts. Here part 1 and part 2.

Odds are you already know this, but The Dragon Knight Saga is on Steam. :S

What annoys me the most is that he bashes NV for random stuff, which is sometimes not even applicable, such as the backstory thing. I'm ok with people preferring a developed PC rather than a blank slate, but he makes it painfully clear that he barely played the game and didn't even seem to care to seek information about what happened to him (which the game provides). Not to mention the amnesia thing. "LOOK HERE AT NEW VEGAS, AMNESIA BLAH BLAHHHHHASNFKJ,ML CXM". HELLO DUDE. NEW VEGAS IS NOT AN AMNESIA STORY. So yeah.

Amnesia and Story Structure I've gotta say this is an infuriating one. Because holy ****, it's like he didn't even care enough about New Vegas to PAY ATTENTION or to LOOK FOR ANSWERS. Nevermind that what happened before he/she got shot in the head is revealed throughout the game, and that the point of the blank slate was that you'd get to develop the character yourself. Anyone who PLAYED THE GAME knows that there's several instances throughout it in which you can determine things about your character's past through dialogue options. Not to mention, part of the point was also making the introduction as quick as possible for people who are interested in making several playthroughs. Also as far as I know, NV is not even a proper example for talking about amnesia. Temporary disorientation at best, not amnesia. Maybe he should think about the point of NOT SHOVING BACKSTORY UP THE CHARACTER'S ASS and talk about it next week.

I've always played SMB on the keyboard. Not sure what's up with the hate for it. Also I've been playing this for a few months so it took me long.

HEY GUYS. I HAVE OFFICIALLY COMPLETED SUPER MEAT BOY. ALL LEVELS, A+, ALL BANDAGES, ALL WARP ZONES. Feels good man.

Read more about this here.

THANKS FOR THE TIPS

Been playing it. It is indeed very weird and the story hasn't started making sense yet! Gotta keep going however.

Picked up Divinity 2 The Dragon Knight Saga! Now moving on to finish Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity afterwards.

I dunno... AC2 still forces me to login...
