Mmmm, well I don't agree with everything you are saying. But I will say that a monopoly for any industry is not healthy. That is why I support other gaming download websites like Gamers Gate and Game Stop. But Steam has also allowed Indie developers to get there games distributed using there technology and not made money from this service. So Steam also helps the industry

What about me? I care about your posts, I always support your Design a Monster? Give me some positive attention as well ????

Guys its irrelevant if there is a perception of the West being militarily weak, they have no country that can seriously challenge them. The Russian army is almost completely useless and ineffective. It took them 16 years and 2 civil wars before they could install a semblance of peace in Chechnya. Imagine the mighty Russian bear being unable to conquer a band of mountain guerrillas , and they could only finally achieve peace in Chechnyan by allowing a corrupt and brutal Chechnya to rule the country as a Russian puppet, Ramzan Kadyrov. Seriously you need to read about this guy, he makes Robert Mugabe look like a boy scout. And this is the person the Russians let lose on the Chechnyan rebels http://dailysoviet.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/ramzan-kadyrov-corrupt-flower-loving-pervert/ http://www.kyivpost.com/content/russia-and-former-soviet-union/chechnyas-kadyrov-calls-for-crackdown-on-sorcery-320241.html http://www.jamestown.org/programs/edm/single/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=38999&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=27&cHash=1ba84ce37104da38ba7d1719b34ae987 Finally you can say what you want about the USA but at the moment there military might is untouchable. They have had 13 years of wars in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and these conflicts have honed and refined ther military experience and strategies. And the best thing about there current policies under Obama is that they don't feel the need to constantly threaten other countries using force to effect political changes, but the reality is they could defeat any possible country if they so desired.

Another Quest for Glory inspired Kickstarter? Got my attention. It's really easy to get my attention. Just mention Sierra and instantly I'm listening. Okay this game looks well worth supporting, I like the way they describe the one encounter "Navigate a vast lake to encounter an evil so pure, not even beauty can disguise it" ...a siren? I'll donate to this project, I hope Hurlshot reads this. This should be what he likes as he enjoyed Quest for Glory

I thought you would enjoy it, its just not very long Its a pity they couldn't make a much longer expansion of SD, something where you have to travel the city and kill numerous elite assassins. A bit like Bourne Identity. And each assassin would have his own style of fighting.

I would say very few Bioware fans wouldn't play Witcher for the reason you mentioned, very few.

No. But there are plenty of nude orc female mods, apparently. Because that is just so wildly arousing, boar-faced green women: To be fair there are loads of good Mods that improve almost everything around Gameplay. But there is also a part of the community that likes nudity and enjoys things that you think are frivolous. So we can have both and we do have both . Double post

Who needs good gameplay when you got orc titties? To be fair there are loads of good Mods that improve almost everything around Gameplay. But there is also a part of the community that likes nudity and enjoys things that you think are frivolous. So we can have both and we do have both .

I have just finishing watching War Horse, its brilliant and masterfully directed as it typical of Steven Spielberg. The one scene you see of the charge across No Mans Land captures accurately the horror, futility and bravery of the battles of the First World War. Its sad in some parts, a bit of a tear-jerker but I recommend it. 8/10

I think it's like the TV show Medium, it's filled with stupid and nonsense, but the characters are believable and relatable. There's a lot of "normal" varied people, that may remind you of real people you know. TLJ is one of the best adventure games, Stark is a storied placed, it's got an industrial European town feel, and a Blade Runner style old and new synergy, Arcadia is like a cliché fairy tale (think Trine/Trine 2) that can be quite funny like the character Horatio and interesting in the case of the speciated dragons that are symbiotic. The gameplay is competent, with Myst style puzzles, and inventory puzzles, one is notorious for possibly being the worst such puzzle ever made. Dreamfall is like that, with the stupid dialled up to Indigo Prophecy levels, and all the voice "actors" speaking like they're drama school students out of character. Probably the worst stealth and combat gameplay I've ever played, but it's trivially simple, I think they wanted to do an adventure game but were pressured into adding action elements they clearly didn't have the experience or talent to do. If Beyond Good and Evil is a 8, Dreamfall is a 2. They say the story is mature and challenging, I can't say I agree at all. TLJ has mature "themes", like a character that swears a lot, a sexist character, and a sexually aggressive character. I think Dreamfall has swearing. It's not mature or challenging in the sense that it approaches subjects with respect and intelligence, it's really simplified, with a lot of stuff not making much sense. Thanks for the comprehensive reply You have given me some excellent information I love the TV series Medium and based on what you have mentioned I'll start with the first one

Okay so Dreamfall did make it easily. Nice one Its obvious that this saga has a loyal fan following, I have never played these games before so what about them is so good? I have read that they are deep and exciting adventure games but what are the reasons that you enjoyed them, if you have played them of course

What book are you reading that captivated you so much? A slightly whimsical semi-steampunk/alternate history style novel called "Etiquette and Espionage". In early Victorian England (in a world with steampunk and vampires and werewolves involved in politics), a young girl with a certain tomboy flair is sent off to finishing school. Only to find said school is a caterpillar-like dirigible, and the finishing school includes lessons on; poisoning, intelligence gathering, knife work, how to faint in a manner to attract a target's attention at a ball and no-one elses, how to manage the house-hold accounts so you can order the steak and the strychnine on a low budget, and other such assorted things alongside the more normal posture, dance, history, fashion and culture. "At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but the also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course." Sounds good, its my type of read. I'll look it up

Design a monster.

I have to honest I am missing this one? Whats its purpose, whats its name, how does it attack etc Or is this some joke that is clearly over my head? We aren't roleplaying that we are creating monsters. We really are creating monsters. Fantasy games are LALA land anyway. NEW C REATURE DESIGNB http://i.imgur.com/FCGf0ND.png It lurks the swamps and was born a lost species. Okay I see, makes sense now -

I went back to that interview as I had missed it, and you are right its very insightful . I notice they mention that the new Geralt will be obviously older and quite possibly less interested in sexual encounters

I thoroughly enjoyed Alice, I loved the various levels and the artistic interpretation of the original Alice world. Each area really had its own weird characteristics. Also the narrative was dark and compelling. It funny how we can differ on the mechanics. Once I use to the controls I started loving the jumping and floating components of the game, I guess we all have different views

Another good usage of this type of monster, and yes I believe there was a monster called that Also, going back to Fighting Fantasy, remember the Gongchong (spelling) from Island of the Lizard King. It was a parasite that enhanced the Lizard Kings powers but ultimately controlled him. It looked like a spider and attached itself to the hosts head like some kind of deformed crown -

I have read the books, " The Unbeliever". My memory about the series isn't that good. Good monster though, loads of narrative idea's. Imagine having to give up the additional powers or realizing the parasite is actually stealing your life force and then as you mentioned you may end up fighting your own party member. -

Cool picture -
I didn't know that was the title of a video game. So, what kind of game is "Metal Gear Rising is available here, but I ain't buying it. Saving money for a rig."? Oh, yes it can. Strange comment Agx, for someone who claims to have mastery of the English language you don't seem to understand basic sentences? He is simply saying he won't be buying the game Metal Gear Solid because he is saving money to enhance his PC. I appreciate this comment because most people won't ever consider not buying a game due to money, they will just Pirate it. So his post reveals loads about his integrity. Remember Agx, "the glass is half full in life, the glass is half full"

Welcome back GB We missed you, I'm glad you enjoyed the rugby. We are passionate about the game. There is nothing better than watching the rugby and having a braai(barbeque) and a few drinks.
