I'm 31 and have 8 of those... -
Ok, so Kickstarters are only contractually obligated to fulfill pledge rewards, if the reward states "a copy of the game when it is released" but its never released, would that wording be enough to get them out of having to provide refunds?

If Obsidian kickstarts a space opera RPG, would you back it?

I would argue that amnesia is a worse narrative device. And this is coming from someone who loves both Amnesia: The Dark Descent (haven't played the new one yet) and The Witcher series. I think I can agree with you that amnesia is a pretty awful plot device, too. Very often it is pressed into service to rescue lazy writing and plotting. But for me, time travel is just the worst. It is so boring, and it always devolves into an incoherent mess. I can prove you wrong in just four words. Back To The Future! If altering the past creates an alternate divergent timeline, as explained by Emmet Brown, the changes creaed by Marty's actions in BTTF 1 would have created a 2nd Marty, one who grew up in that timeline. As the Marty we know only remembered his own timeline, there should be two Martys, him and the one who existed in the alternate time. BTTF2 shows this is true when they talk about Marty being in Europe in the dystopian 80s. So our Marty is just hanging around in someone elses life waiting to encounter this other Marty. -
If its as good as Icewind Dale I'll be happy. If its as good as BG2 I will be ecstatic. If its better than BG2 then mind blown. This is my greatest fear for project eternity. I really want it to succeed and be the true successor of the IE games.

The Richard Cheese version of The Sickness was the hilight of that movie. Zombie newborn with teeth, not so much.

I did like the space battle mini game though.

So we need education bombs and enlightenment guns. Then we can launch peace and understanding from drones.

that's been my problem with SWTOR, I am enjoying the story, but the MMO gameplay is just so boring. I quit shortly after getting my apprentice in the Sith Warrior run. I just couldn't be bothered to slug through it for the story anymore. If they took the game, and redid the gameplay with single player in mind, and sold it for full price again, I would probably buy it.

Secret World of Arietty. Joined the Disney Movie club so I snagged a bunch of Ghibli films because they expensive. Would have grabbed more than that and Totoro, but the wife wanted to grab some $10 Handy Manny dvds for the little one instead of $35 blue rays at the 40 cent price.

E was my favorite. Not a backer though, so no vote for me.

Mass Effect's explanation was that toxic waste "ELEMENT ZERO" (in elaborate sci-fi font,) causes space magic mutation, mystery solved! How does it work from there? Space magic. Element zero introduced in utero produces nodules that emit mass effect fields when bioelectric currents pass through them. Biotic amps can then be implanted to enhance and control these fields. Its non-science, but not magic. Gameplay-wise its no different than magic, but lore-wise its science. -
What I get from the trailers is that combat will be JRPG-esque, which I'm fine with.

I much prefer newer South Park. Season 15 had a lot of good stuff. You're Getting Old, coupled with Ass Burgers was magic.

A little less Tv headed people, but ghosts and telepathic cats and such would fit right in. -
You must be from Toronto. I've met few people, let alone other canadians who are louder or more obnoxious than you Edit: louder in an internet sense, as you tend totake everything everyone says ever completely literally.

I really don't get the people who get upset with a couple month delay for Kickstarter projects "oh boo hoo, the millions of extra money they got made the game bigger and now I have to wait 2-3 months longer to play it" Every time a game comes out incomplete people whine they should have delayed it and fnished, but if they delay to finish its some sort of unprofessional betrayal.

Because they haven't expressed any interest in doing so. That's essentially what Mass Effect was. It was space fantasy. Space wizards using space magic (under the woefully misused term "biotic") left and right. Besides which, I don't see how "someone should make a carbon copy of Star Wars without the Star Wars license but also with knights and damsels and dashing princes and horse-mounted blaster dueling combat in spaceships" is a positive thing. Mass Effect tried to come up with some sort of psuedoscientic explaination for it though, to keep it sci-fi. Star Wars left the mystery, at least until midichlorians, but everyone agrees that was a bad idea and they should have kept it more mystical. -
I think it has more to do with playig them on a 55" tv, which most people put in the living room, where couches are often the primary seating. Also, Valve is doig all this to compete with consoles. As has been stated, console preference is "all about the games" if Valve can launch a console with thousands of games and almost infinite backwards compatibility, all for half or less the price of regular console games, they win.

I use M&K for some games, and a gamepad for others, what I'd rather see valve do is a mouse and keyboard optimized for using on the couch.

I'd like to see someone take a stab at an original Star Wars esque IP. Meaning spacefaring fantasy. Kings and nobles and wizards and peasants alongside starships and aliens and blasters and such. Edit: extra points for using starship designs similar to Treasure Planet. -
Definitely not, 24 is the minimum to percieve fluid movement, not the maximum for what's noticble. Minimum of 60 fps for action games for a quality experience. Minimum of 60? I've been playing Saints Row 3 at about 35 and wouldn't say it wasn't a quality experience. Hell, most games I feel lucky to get 30 and its never been an issue. Either way, a prebuilt PC with an OS dedicated to gaming is likely going to aim for 60 anyway and I wouldnt see that as an issue.
