PLAY BALL! The 2008 Baseball Season Begins
Replace "Wright" with "Jeter" and "3rd base" with "shortstop" then I would agree.

BREAKING NEWS: NEW EXCLUSIVE DRAGON AGE FOOTAGE
I was expecting something more with a Canadian accent.

Dragon Age
As opposed to what was advertised on NWN2 Gold's box? Where's MoW? I didn't finish NWN2's OC until a full year has passed after its release. My system specs: Intel e6600 Core 2 Duo 2 gigs ram 8800 GTS Vista result: bugs galore and CTD's. I used to work QA and so I have a very high pain threshold when it comes to tolerating bugs. NWN2 took its toll on me. That's great, NWN2 worked for you out of the bat. Power to you. But for many of us, and including certain Obsidian developers, NWN2 on release was NOT ready, and didn't really become a good game until after MotB was released. You should know by now that if you want to avoid complaining about bugs on your pc games, you should wait until a number of patches have been released. If you can't wait that long, then replay the game on your 360 and unlock more achievements.

Dragon Age
When has there NOT been severe bug problems with PC games? BIO marketing definitely dropped the ball and shanked the FG attempt with DA, but cut them some slack. They screwed up. No biggie. ME's DLC is being worked on. They are fixing bugs. It'll get released. NWN2 has delayed patch releases as well, not to mention the MOW snafu. I'd say Bioware is on par, or a bit (significantly) better than most companies outside of Blizzard with regards to customer support.

Dragon Age
Well...This is rather anti-climactic. I guess we could talk about the face. Or that it may have some sort of toolset. *shrugs*

Mass Effect
There are four different endings plus the choices of three romances and atleast 1 or maybe two more party member deaths (for a total of 3 possible). If memory serves...

How did you get into the gaming industry?
Not intending any disrespect, but places in California like Fresno, Bakersfield, Merced, and Modesto strike me as prototypical minor league baseball towns. They ain't exactly small towns, but really, there isn't much to do over in those places.

Empire Total War Interview
How does the final release of Europa Barbarorum compare to RTR? Based on their earlier releases, EB seemed a little too concentrated on "realism" at the expense of fun gameplay. I feel like the main campaign of M2 benefited greatly from the Retrofit and/or Custom Campaign Mod, both made by the same guy - a CA programmer.

Bioware - Are Their Games Actually That Good?
There was also an xvart village you can raid and plunder. I felt like Thulsa Doom. That was awesome.

Baldur's Gate. Got me into cRPG's. I won't deny that nostalgia plays a big part here. BG2 Fallout Planescape: Torment NHLPA '93. Ever seen Swingers? That explains all. KotOR. It's probably inferior to K2 in terms of ambition, but I've started and finished this game more than any other RPG. Jagged Alliance 2. Tony LaRussa Baseball Baseball Stars Super Smash Bros. Best social game ever.- Europa Universalis: Rome Demo
Best Preview Ever. From Tom Chick. Linked from Penny Arcade.- What are you playing now?
College Hoops 2K8 Alien Shooter 2 Vengeance Baseball Mogul 2008 Icewind Dale +HoW +TotLM- Alien Shooter 2 demo
Holy Sweet Bovine Shanks! This is an awesomely fun game! Right now, it's on Steam for $4.95 through the end of the month. Got it with Baseball Mogul 2008 (also on sale for $4.95). Totally worth it.- Alien Shooter 2 demo
Will Aliens: The RPG be as visceral, fun, and adrenaline pumping as this game? Cuz that'd be tyte.- some small images from Game Informer online
*In awe* Man, do you have everything written by/about any OE dev cross-referenced, catalogued, and organized into some master database, and easily recalled at your instant beckoning?- Bourne, 007, or Bauer
You're referring the 80's Bourne Identity mini-series starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaqueline Smith right?- How many teams does Obsidian have now?
I would guess by the xenomorph hugging his avatar's ummm...face, that it would be Aliens.- some small images from Game Informer online
Well, I remember that Avellone was the Creative Lead for Aliens before he bailed to be Lead Designer for P. Georgia. This wasn't too long ago was it? Maybe he was working on both titles concurrently before concentrating fully on Alpha. Still, my understanding is that being Lead Designer is a full time job, as is being a Creative Lead. Or was there some serious project personnel shuffling going ons behind the closed doors of OE? For that matter, is Alpha Protocol scheduled to be released before Aliens? - Your Top Ten Games
