Drowsy Emperor

Yeah the figurine looks much better on the pics than in real life. Its sold separately in some stores here.

I agree that Riddick is an excellent game, particularly in the way it changes its gameplay every once. Very cinematic and exciting.

I posted that in the Witcher 2 topic. CD Projekt rules.

Depends on how much you like the game I suppose. Usually I like these sort of editions in theory but most of the time the actual contents aren't that exciting/interesting. The only edition of the sort I have is the Witcher Enhanced Editon, and the actual extras are either boring or unnecesary - and compared to this stuff the enhanced edition is positively modest. I think steel dvd cases are great because they look good and are durable but unfortunately they aren't all that common. I only have the Jade Empire one and I'm still refusing to buy the Red Alert 3 one until they introduce a patch that does away with the limited activations and securom.

You're not going to forget the money spent with that ugly plastic figure staring you in the face every day.

Update on the Steelseries 6Gv2. The keys are indeed rubbing off much faster than is acceptable, the WASD combination is already 50% duller in little under a month of use. So that's one major flaw of this board. Another is putting the backslash key \ next to the right shift, which made the said shift key much shorter than usual. This results in not being able to easily extend your right pinkie when writing a capital letter on the left side of the keyboard. Its very hard for me to do and as I have very long fingers its probably impossible for people that have smaller ones. Since the right hand must now leave its home row to press the right shift this results in a delay and possible typos. Otherwise I'm not noticing any other flaws so far.

Five years ago I was all for goodies in special editions as the old boxes were dying out but this is becoming obscene.

Lol they really dropped the ball on this one didn't they.

The redhead had around 40 % of the total vote when I looked. So I guess goths are Bioware's new target demographic. It makes sense with all the angsty facial expressions their recent protagonists have.

/double/

We could have done with someone other than Natalie Portman there.

There you have it. Brave kids, a pity it didn't work

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.gog.com/en/news/celebrating_gam...esome_discounts And I just dumped all my money on Starcraft II

Bioware makes character driven games and the ME2 crowd was for me dull in its stereotypical portrayal, whether they be out of a blockbuster movie or out of Bioware's stock dialog and drama that they've collected over the years. That and I disliked the gung ho protagonist from the voice to the responses. That said over the years I've developed a strong antipathy towards the sci-fi blockbuster partly because I liked them too much when I was a kid and partly because my taste in movies has refined. The game is essentially a homage to something I can barely watch now which makes me more biased then most. FNV felt novel, like most sandbox games the first time around. Lots of stuff to explore, some of it clever and interesting. The weapon sound/visual effects of the wild west arsenal was a lot of fun for as long as it was viable. When we got to the Fallout gear, I started to lose interest. In fact my interest was directly proportional to the ratio of wild west elements to stock fallout themes, with the latter turning me off in general. The story and characters were no more than a backdrop for the exploration so far as I am concerned. I'm not going to replay it, because the novelty is gone but I was quite immersed for a while. The most fun I've had since the Witcher, even though I'd rate FNV below it. ME2 below that, DA below that and ME 1 on the bottom.

Age of Empires 2, CS 1.6.

I agree, New Vegas was a fun shooter most of the time. ME2 was dull, too much on the rails and too low on actual player involvement. Every encounter played out more or less the same. ME3 will be like that as well which is why I'll skip it altogether.

Say what you will but CDProjekt caters to their fans, go CDProjekt! The Witcher was the last game I bought at full price and I don't regret it at all especially when I see stuff like this.

Relic still not announcing anything?

The shooting was unexciting crap, even by 90ties standards. But RPG players are immune to bad combat so whatever.

They indeed don't, or at least they aren't really played as a horde of any sort. Also I believe individual units aren't as fast as they used to be, or at least the opposition is faster than it was. You do get a movement bonus on creep but by the time you creep tumor your way to the other end of the map the game is mostly over. I have seen players use overlords to get a strip of creep but not all that often. Counterstrike's learning curve is a sheer cliff on most servers. It'll put anybody off.

It looks exactly like the second game. Take that as you will. The video is horribly edited/slapped together as if to show only the worst moments in the animation of each character.

Can we get a link to that video, youtube is full of fakes.

Dude, what. I was referring to the fact that 10 minutes in game I couldn't see a single palpable difference except maybe for the fall of one tower. And that I can't see what there actually is to do in the game except spam hero abilities and use the shop. As I said,DotA2 looks really boring. As for the graphics the standard Valve "clean" look apparently just doesn't fit in fantasy games.

I love to hate them (political elites) but the fact is that the moment they get in office they receive a call to remind them about who their biggest election contributor was and what exactly he expects them to do during their term in office.

Well damn, I could have told him that when Bloodlines was released, like almost a decade ago. That was my biggest annoyance with the ME series as well.
