The comic was so much better its not funny.

One of the better made fan trailers in a while.

41.6% Thought I was doing good then bam, like 20 I hadn't seen.

Just beat Rise of the Argonauts. Lousy PC port, likely better on console, except some of the boss battles are nigh impossible without a trainer. The art design was really good though, and the story wasn't terrible. Lacklustre ending though. Makes me want a big epic greek mythology RPG though. Something thats going to take more than 10-15 hours to beat, and isn't so linear. Worst part of the game was how if you progressed too far you couldn't finish some things. If there had been a story reason for not being able to go back and finish them, then it would have been fine, but you just plain couldn't. Definitely worth a rental though.

Comic thread http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...=48061&st=0 Anyway I've been following it on Wikipedia, figured I'd borrow it off a friend or check out in the trades. I like the new status quo though with the less than noble characters now in control.

Thats the complete opposite opinion to me and the guys at work. We thought it was one of the best years for movies in ages. Next year pretty much has Watchmen and Transformers 2 and thats it. Then again we enjoyed Hulk, Iron Man, Hellboy 2, and Dark Knight a great deal.

Dragon Age, Alpha Protocol, God of War III, Brutal Legend, and I'm sorta looking forward to SW:TOL, depending on how that story aspect works out.

Screw Dungeon Keeper, I want an Evil Genius 2.

Now all we need is Bethesda to release a toolset for Fallout 3, and MCA & Co. to use it to make the FO3 they envisioned... It would be sweet if Bethesda hired Obsidian to do a Fallout Spinoff based on Van Buren, so at least it could see the light of day.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I thought it was better than the first, and I loved how for once in a fantasy film the population of a country wasn't stupid multicultural. Making them all spanish with that spanish inspired armor and such was awesome.

Basically its a big event that is closing this chapter of the ultimate universe. Killing a bunch of major characters, cancelling a couple books, taking it as far from the standard 616 universe as possible. In the first issue they killed Nightcrawler, Dazzler, the population of Latveria, possibly Johnny Storm, and millions of other people. All because Quicksilver didn't realize that Magneto was Magneto(jumped in front of a bullet to save him). Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four are being cancelled, and Ultimate Avengers will start up again with Mark Millar in charge.

Incredible Hulk came out after Iron Man. Hulk came out a few years ago, but the two are entirely unrelated. Incredible Hulk is a far superior film. Saw Doomsday a couple weeks ago. I've never felt that a movie would have been better with less violence until I saw that. It was enjoyable, but the gore was for the most part pointless. Bolt was fun, worth seeing for the dog shooting lasers from his eyes for the first time. Step Brothers, Forgetting Sarah Marshal, and You Don't Mess With the Zohan are all good comedies that should be watched as well.

Last I checked 60% of Canadians didn't vote to give power to the Conservatives, 30% did.

The English language has evolved. It's sleeker, more efficient. If only you Europeans could keep up with the times! I'm Canadian

The ultimate line was appealing in that it didn't have convoluted continuity. Its only 8 years old and the way they handled crossover events was ideal, where the entire crossover was contained in a single title so you didn't have to buy every book the company put out every month. They had decided early on to never have more than 5 books a month in the line, leaving room for Fantastic Four, Ultimates, Spider-Man, and X-Men, as well as one crossover title. Also, except for Ultimate Spider-Man, the titles tended to be edgier than the standard 616 marvel stuff. That has changed since they put Millar on the front lines of the regular marvel U, basically ultimatizing the 616 universe, but thats what they're attempting to rectify with Ultimatum, killing off major characters from each book in order to really shake up the universe and bring that uniqueness back to the ultimate U. Unfortunately they put Loeb in charge of it.

Its annoying when spell checks think I spell colour, armour, centre, theatre, etc. wrong.

See, and I can't understand why people do like his style Loeb has done some good work in the past, but it seems like since now that he's established himself he's just pumping out poo like its gold. Ultimates 3 was just... wow... I know Joe Mad was partly to blame for that turd but still. Jealous robot, random return of Venom, Wasp leading the team, Black Panther suddenly a member of the team, as appointed by Nick Fury, who was trapped in another dimension so how the hell can he appoint anyone, Dr Doom inexplicably returns from the Zombie universe, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch lovers, Hawkeye going from badass black ops commando to emo... just wow

How the hell does Jeph Loeb manage to not only be employed, but be considered one of the top writers in comics and be handed many of Marvel's high profile titles? He's like the Frank Quitely of writers.* *For those who don't know, Frank Quitely is an artist who's style is characterized by everyone being big huge fat headed people with pursed lips and squints, generally making everyone look like the same person with different hair. Considering him an artist is an insult to artists. He is also very popular.

I want to be the one - The Megas

Seattle's Best is a subsidary of Starbucks. Anyway, I'd like to see a 4e game where you start on the streets of Luskan and eventually either quell all the warring factions or unite them all and instill your character as the first stable leader since Deudermont.

There will be no election. If the conservative party is voted down then the NDP and Liberals will form a coalition government. Harper is bitching that this is a violation of democracy but the way I see it, if 50% of the popular vote is in power rather than 35% thats a triumph of democracy. And as a commonwealth nation our head of state is the Queen of England, but she has as much power as she does in the UK. Which amounts to nothing. Its purely symbolic, and much like British royalists, I would be upset if the monarchy was abolished as well, its part of our history and heritage.

Another vote for steampunk. Arcanum would have been the best game ever if it wasn't for the terrible graphics, combat, and stat system.

Here's one of my great experiences with the overland encounters.

After playing SoZ, I say no more races and classes. We have enough that even after changing the party limit to six, I still couldn't create all the combos I wanted. Instead focus those resources enriching the content we already have. Each race needs more heads, we need more hairstyles, more armor models, more weapon models(like an actual flail). Rapiers need their own combat animations, etc. After that I say set the XP in Maztica. You're a major part of an Amnish colony freshly established and you play a major part in its development. Migrate the trading mechanics from SoZ over to this but basically make it a big combo of Crossroad keep and the trading company. You can establish trade with other colonies and native villages, but trading with some will cause others to deny you and who you establish relations with determines who you can recruit and what you can build in your colony. The story could lead up to when the spellplague hits and Maztica is transferred to Abeir.

The trading system is bugged. I need a bunch of resources to upgrade my trade company so I trekked out to each town to get enough of all resources, and sent them back to Crossroad keep, but when I got there it had each of the resources, but no quantity.
