Drowsy Emperor

Bah! All of us can give it one last spin for old time's sake. Its not like there'll be another game like it, ever. OOoooh I'm already drunk on nostalgia.

Its time for this new generation of QTE gamers to learn what a real RPG is. My correspondence with Overhaul games: You can skip my fanboy slobbering for the little surprise in Cameron's reply

Neither do I. But really, if it sucks we can just ignore its existence. I'm mildly optimistic. But I really don't have any idea what they're going to do. Its not going to be remade in 3D I think, and what exactly can be done with the Infinity engine at this point is a mystery to me. But it is nice to see how many people still appreciate the game and how far they're going to go. Imagine a hi-res 2D remake of all three games rolled into one, with today's technology. Will the world survive so much awesome?

You know it did take like 5 cuts to get Blade Runner right.

I find your lack of faith disturbing... Bu it is all as I have foretold.

Twilight Zone and... that's about it. Then again, TV shows are hardly ever a cerebral activity. Shows like The Wire are a recent phenomena. I agree, The Wire is something else entirely.

It came pre installed. Microsoft is pushing Win7 so there are fewer and fewer netbooks with XP. It has a ton of ram by the way.

But that's all... one exact same video. Did they really stoop so low? Also, someone please tell me this didn't happen:

I'd really like Ron Paul to win but he simply doesn't stand a chance. If the party threw its weight behind him (which another thing that's not going to happen) I guestimate that he'd beat Obama easy.

723k This one will be in the bag by this time tomorrow.

How is it even legal for your property to be surveyed without your consent/knowledge?

Quite right. Its because they erased from their political perception any and all ideologies that were such a draw for Europeans (even for the very flexible British) and distilled all interaction down to pure pragmatism, completely freed from moral, or other constraints. Ideology exists of course, but none of the real decision makers are going to be swayed by it. Very much like the Romans.

We haven't actually heard your opinion on the game (or its been buried somewhere while ago)?

I'm interested to know what the supposed advantages of Win 7 over XP are other than new Direct X support. I have two netbooks with similar hardware, one with W7 the other with XP and the W7 one crawls like a beaten dog all the while not having a single function that I could point to its advantage.

Yes, NATO is obsolete, it's function is not needed anymore since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Brits and Frenchies are gonna jump as high as their US masters demand, 'cause that's what they are - little lapdogs. Who doesn't jump, except Putin's Russia (unlike those traitorous cretins Yeltsin and Gorbachev) and China?

Actually I'm hoping Wasteland 2 is going to be a somewhat different take on the whole post apocalyptic thing, I could never really get into the Fallout universe.

I'm having second thoughts about this. When you look at inXile offerings, the fact of the matter is that they haven't made a good game for over a decade - or in other words, since the company was created. Putting nostalgia aside, what real guarantee do we have that this is going to be any better?

You know Morgoth NATO isn't exactly a single member club. European "leaders" habitually fall over themselves to support whatever errand the US elite comes up with (like Libya, for a recent example). But then, who are we kidding - its not like the EU leaders since De Gaulle can even get in office without keeping "good relations" with the US. They can kick and squirm, and pretend its all in their own (country's) interest in the long run but when the US says jump all we hear is "how high?".

I have none in either of the main Republicans. In fact I dislike them both, one more than the other. But I do have a very personal interest in Obama not being re-elected. And it is not just being opposed to his politics (you can bet I am). My home sits on the border of a Federal Management area and is a potential target for an imminent domain land seziure. The current administration has been more than heavy handed in dealing with property owners when it decides it wants their land. I (and the other land owners) do not have the means for a protracted court fight and small chance of prevaiing if we did. I don't know if either of the alternatives would be better but you had better believe they won't be worse. What's "imminent domain land seziure"?

Do you really feel you have a stake in any of the major players in the upcoming election: Obama, Romney, Santorum - whatever?

The only thing that's fascinating there is how indoctrinated some people are that Bioware can't fail. Actually they haven't even failed. They just made the same game for the third time, including the crap ending. People are making an effort to forget the immensely stupid final boss of ME2 and the silly final mission is because there was the holy third game that would magically make sense of all the nonsense that had piled up sky high at that point. The simple truth is that Mass Effect was made to be just as shallow, clich

...$65 sorry :/ International shipping. Anyway, I'm a backer! Wooooo! Really excited about the prospect. Hopefully it will be really successful. Chris Avellone will be happy to know that I'm willing to back an eventual Obsidz project too. Additional 15$ huh, yaay

Good luck to them and I hope it lives up to expectations. I think I'll break my depressingly slim piggy bank and hope to scrounge up 50$ for the box set.
