Oh god why had I not heard of him before... just finished watching all his escapist stuff, comedy gold.

What I mean is why would Obsidian be embarassed if it runs better than NWN2 since Obsidian had more to work on, and a shorter development cycle? An extra couple years to work on a less complex game better be much more optimized.

Why is the NWN2 modding scene so.... meh?
Hopefully when that and Mask of the Betrayer are released it will jump start the community.

Haven't they had like 2 extra years to work on it though?

gonna have to agree with this, although admittedly i only played the GBA versions Tactics Ogre - quite an interesting story based around a fallen angel FFT - starts off will a snowball fight... Do not confuse Final Fantasy Tactics with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Advance isn't even a port, it's a new game. The original is much better and is being ported to PSP. Tactics has a terrific plot revolving around the Zodiac stones and a Saint. It also has an atrocious translation that seriously impairs the enjoyment of the plot and the game. I never noticed the bad translation. I was having too much fun and enjoying the story.

Nope, but his trips do happen at random times, leaving him to wake up in the middle of a park in his underwear, or be pulled out of his moving car leaving it to go out of control into a telephone pole.

Not a movie, but I saw the pilot for Journeyman. Not sposed to air til the 24th, I enjoyed it. Mondays will definitely be the highlight of the week for TV for me with Heroes and that. It looks like it won't be serialized, but will have an overall story arch. Basically its about a guy who makes little trips through time, altering the lives of those he encounters for good or bad, he doesn't know why or how he does it, but the time he's gone in the past registers in the present, so he'll be missing for days in the present, which puts a strain on his relationships. I hope this does well, as I'd like to see how things unfold.

The EB here had been advertising its release on the 12th for the last month. I wanted to get the 360 version but it was 25 bucks more than the PC version.

Fable
As would I. And it shouldn't be a real-time strategy game with resource gathering and such. A semi-RPG would be cool, based around the Greek pantheon. You're an up an coming god and have to gain followers and cause trouble for mortals and such. Maybe spawn a couple superpowered progeny by mortal women and guide them as they grow, or completely ignore them as you see fit. Spore looks like it will come closest to the all powerful god type game though.

When you do 4e
Chances are a publisher rather than a developer would get the 4e license, if Atari's D&D license doesn't just carry over into 4e. It just makes more sense for a publisher to have the rights as they could make action games, strategy games, RPGs, etc., while developers tend to be more specialised.

All I can say is...Woot Woot? Very excited that they went with mostly practical effects. The only CG was the last part with the flying. Oh, and if you want the HD versions or whatnot http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/

The "lets see you do better" argument is an automatic fail.

Persistance of myths
The one major thing I've heard about the flu vaccine is that once you get it, you have to keep getting it every year because otherwise it reduces your immune system's ability to fight off the flu without it. Is this true or false?

Upcoming Movie Discussion
So Kevin McKidd semi-confirmed his involvement in Thor. He won't be playing Thor, but says he is being considered for "The other male lead" Which would obviously be Loki. I think he'd rock as Loki, but the other revelation, that they're looking for someone more around the 19-20 year old range for Thor, doesn't look good. Especially if Kevin McKidd is Loki, as Loki is supposed to look up to Thor at first.

Not really, they're basically gone after the Macross Saga. Well, you lose 90% of the plot for the first half of the series. Chances are, the first movie will be the Macross saga, if not the first trilogy.

http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6274 Tobey Maguire wants to be awful in another fan favorite adaption. Robotech would make an AWESOME live action movie. One of the few 80s cartoons that really doesn't need a lot of changes to make it work. The robots are earth-made so you don't need to make them look crazy, and the transformations work, as evidenced by the toys. The 40 foot human-looking Zentraedi might be a little odd on screen though, but you lose 90% of the plot if you change them.
