  1. What I'm looking for isn't really a sequel, but kind of a spinoff. I'd like them to take World of Warcraft, and made a single player RPG. One that spans the entire world. They already have all the graphics they need, just spend a year making quests.
  2. I really hope Sam Raimi doesn't do them. He's all wrong for it.
  3. Pretty much anything to do with chicken I'll eat. Big fan of sushi too
  4. I thought Shrek 2 was good. I thought while the first had more heart, the 2nd was funnier. The third was just garbage though.
  5. The Longest Journey. Throughout the game I was absolutely loving everything about the story and characters, then the ending comes and I'm like "**** YOU!"
  6. tvshowsondvd.com had an article on the season 3 dvd and season 4 on TV http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Battlesta...ay-Reasons/8336 Looks like both are due April of next year.
  7. higher prices in international markets could be explained by adding increased distribution costs due to duties on the import of the products, as well as additional marketing and localization costs for each market. Also, I believe sometimes 3rd party distributors are used for international publication, which could also drive up prices. Though honestly, I would think all that would result in more like a 5-10 dollar increase in price, not 20-30.
  8. That's a great movie, although I have yet to find the original theatrical release on DVD -the only version I have is the darker version found on the Director's Cut edition DVD-... The new "Final Cut" version has the original theatrical cut, the international cut, the directors cut, and the new "Final Cut". If you get the big crazy version that comes in the suitcase, it also has a workprint version.
  9. You also have to take into account localization costs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution costs, store markup, etc. I know the markup on video games isn't very much, but lets say the store gets 5 bucks out of every $50 game, that takes the profit down a million bucks, subtract manufacturing and distribution costs for those 200,000 copies, marketing costs, localization for non-english markets, and your profit is now a loss. Then again, as you said, 200,000 isn't a huge sales number.
  10. The problem is I think that most of the time the Dev's already have their money, and most of that extra goes to the publisher.
  11. I saw Beowulf last week on IMAX 3D. I had a permanent grin the entire time.
  12. http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1002/pla...uide/index.html A guide on how to get divx and xvid etc. to work on your 360. Annoyed me that 99% of my video files wouldn't work on my xbox, but got this going in a few minutes and watched a couple downloaded episodes of Journeyman and season 4 of Reboot. It disables fast forward and skip, so I'd stick to just using the regular methods for watching wmv files, but this was a nice change from sitting at my computer chair to watch this stuff.
  13. I think she has 3 endings. At least I've gotten two that werent' that one. One where she's a crappy leader and isn't able to do jack crap, and another where she's a beacon of hope then gets thrashed by Rammaq and lives the rest of her days as a mute because all her siblings were killed.
  14. I remember that. I bet he's having a nice helping of crow right now.
  15. I know my big thing about paperback/hardcover is usually price. I just can't justify paying 30-40 bucks for a book. But when its something I really like, I would pass on the hardcover if its part of a series that I have the rest in paperback. It just looks bad on the bookshelf. My Wheel of Time stuff is like that. I have book 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 in paperback, 2 in Trade Paperback, and 8 in Hardcover, and it looks retarded on the shelf.
  16. What I said I'd like to see for another XP on the bioware boards would be something set in Acherome or Maztica, where you start out working for a settling expedition starting a new settlement. Then after the initial beginning quests, the settlement is established, blah blah event happens, you're in charge. And from then on its mostly a giant crossroads keep type thing, only with WAY more options. Based on who you recruit or what your decide to build your settlement develops differently opening new quests and such. You could develop it as a rich merchant port, seedy pirate port, heavily defended fort town, haven for scholars, or a mix of the bunch. It would be largely non-linear with basically just a whole lot of 1-2 hour storylines with a more central story being evident at the beginning and the end. Anyway, yeah. I hope future XPs start a new storyline rather than following your character from NWN2/MotB
  17. It might be my rookie playstyle again, but I find Free Religion isn't that great in the early game. The building or XP benefits of Organized or Theocracy help in your expansion, then you can switch later for the happiness boost when you simply need to maintain your empire. (I tend not to wage war too much later)
  18. I love 80s metal, does that count? Also, never been high.
  19. Watched Transformers last night, was holding out so I could get the metal case at Future Shop, who ended up being sold out. Of all their copies. So I just grabbed the regular 2 disc version at Toys R Us, which came with a 5$ gift card, that apparently the cashier pocketed because it wasn't in the bag when I got home, but I saw the guy take it out and activate it. Then I spent 6 hours watching the movie with commentary and all the special features today. I thought it was funny that they didn't address the Devastator/Brawl screw up, and when talking about the character they pretty much were like "We have a tank character... ok next."
  20. I tend to use serfdom until I get emancipation. And sometimes I even keep serfdom unless I'm using a financial civ. I just never could justify the drop in population to finish crap.
  21. Well, I played some, its hard to keep track of what you do and when though... Anyway, the following things of note happened during my reign - Razed that Babylonian city, Brippa or whatever - Founded Port Avellone near Crossroad Keep - Built Heroic Epic in Peragus, also added a great general to the city to boost XP. - Some sort of horse quest was started, need to build 7 stables. We have 6 cities. - Began siege of Babylon, sending a steady flow of catapults, currently their defense is at 2%, and I razed their iron mine and some of their cottages. - Switched to Serfdom - Discovered Engineering and Feudalism Site of Port Avellone God_Emperor_Feargus_AD_0980.zip
  22. Agreed. I think if they are going to keep the influence system, stop with the "Influence Gained" messages. Just put your influence level on the character sheet and leave it at that, then if you really want to know your influence level, you can find it, but it doesn't interrupt gameplay with numbers. As for releasing short games... The only game OBS has released that I consider short is MotB, which is an expansion. As a full game, its short. As an expansion, its long. MotB proves once and for all that OBS is capable of AAA quality titles.
  23. This is the new design, by Alex Ross. I like some of it, but hate other parts. I can live with it. The gun indicates a more morally neutral Cap, which indicates either Winter Soldier, or someone new donning the mask.
