Oerwinde

I did that once, my family laughed at me because the system was a little off, so the viewscreen kept getting off center slowly making me need to stare up in order to see forward.

The bit I didn't like about Jaheira's romance was how she was like "OH NOES MY HUSBAND IS DEAD, MAKE LOVE TO ME!" Doesn't she need to grieve or anything?

Also a note on their chances:

Iron Maiden - Strange World Not anymore.

That actor was Aquaman in the failed Aquaman pilot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Beat me to it.

FTL. Waste of power if not using them? Anyway, that episode was fab. Fab fab fab. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think he meant why are they always the first thing to get damaged.

Well if its just small additions it wouldn't be that big. I mean if you have a standard bug fixing patch at say, 16 megs, adding a couple new strings of quests would add, lets say 2 megs to that size, a new area, maybe 10-20 megs to the size, giving you, at a larger estimate around a 40 meg download. Thats not that bad. Thats smaller than the patch for Bloodlines.

Just finished S03e04, I'm thinking that was one of the best episodes of the show so far.

They wanted someone with the right vision. If you've seen some of the stuff the guy has done, its very good. He did the 2nd Citroen transformer commercial I believe, as well as a short about alien refugees landing in South Africa and being segregated and abused by the populace. Had a cool scene where one of the aliens is being shot at by some soldiers, so the alien uses like telekinesis or something and throws a truck at them. Its one of those things that bothers me. You need experience to get the job, but to get experience you need the job.

I found myself loving GalCiv2 at times, and other times wanting to go back to GalCiv 1. Its still the best space strategy game out there right now though. The campaign is way to freaking hard though. I mean god damn, those dread lords love coming to my planets with 10 people and killing my army of 6 million.

It would be cool if they took a page from some recent MMORPGs and every major patch added like a new area to the OC, or some new quests, and stuff like that. And if the support for it goes on like with NWN1, after 4 years they could have added a few more hours of gameplay to the OC. That would rock.

Amazing!

...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They don't let girls in. There was a big brouhaha or however you spell it when some girls wanted to be boy scouts and they wouldn't let them in. Kind of like how these girls up here sued the school board so they could try out for their high school boys hockey team. They won and were allowed to try out, and were the first ones cut.

I only found it boring if you solo. And the CoH/CoV group system made it super easy to find a team so I found it fun.

I wish I had held out like one more month to upgrade mine. Spent 800 bucks on an upgrade only to have the Core 2 Duos come out a month later, making my upgrades obsolete.

The whole game angered me. The only way I was able to actually finish it was to play Legend of Dragoon for a couple days beforehand. After that FF8 was a masterpiece.

I just wish they would release the DVD set at the beginning of the season so I don't have to wait!

I don't see how this will be any good. You won't be able to play as Spider-Man or whatever, so you might as well just play City of Heroes. Especially if its designed to be playable on a console.

I hated FF8 because of the draw system, junction system, and the story after the end of disc 2. That whole "Oh, every character in the game grew up in the same orphanage but we didn't know it!" thing was stupid, and Ultimecia is the worst villain ever. The Seifer/Squall rivalry has no closure and was much more interesting than "Sorceress from the future wants to destroy reality just because she can!" None of the characters were at all interesting except for Squall, because he's the only one who even gets any development. I hated the junction system because it made levelling pointless. Without junctioning you had a level 80 character with 160 hit points. In a game where the max is 9999 thats sad. The first disc was excellent, 2nd disc was pretty good, but they don't make up for the bad 2nd disc and horrible 4th. My FF scale of cooliosity goes: FF6, FF10, FF7, FF9, FF4, FF5, FF8. Haven't played the rest.

But no other FF game got a perfect score in famitsu. And FF8 sucked ass. I started reading EGM solely based on the fact that they were the only mag to give it a bad review.

I didn't finish it, but is it that bad? *waits for Oerwinde* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only console RPG that rivals Suikoden II for story is Xenogears.

I don't think its the random battles themselves thats the problem, its that the encounter rates have been getting higher in JRPGs. Back in FF6 sometimes I found myself wishing the encounter rate was higher so I could do some levelling, getting a battle every 10-12 steps, while in recent games I've been cursing the encounter rate because I get a random battle every 3 or 4 steps. Though I do prefer the current trend to actually place the creatures on the map, I don't hate random battles, just high encounter rates.

Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny Next in the playlist is Lordi - Rock the Hell Outta You. Then: Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames.

Everything I've read about it says its the best FF yet, so I'll definitely have a look to see if its better than 6.
