Don't forget there are two versions of Fifa 10, the 360/PS3 one and the PC/Wii/PS2 one. Only the 360/PS3 version is worth getting.

SoZ had generally awesome music.

Wait, wasn't Battlestar's Apollo an actor to rival Dushku's prowess in acting incompetence?

I have a female friend who's into morphophilia.

Huh, apart from special secret battles like the Weapons in the FFs, JRPGs are usually mindlessly easy, requiring only a rubber band around the attack button.

It's not bad news either. It's just news and fairly meaningless at that. We don't know who Michael Foster is, or what he meant by it. Maybe he means that AP has good combat as opposed to about every other action RPG out there.

I raise the What Are You Playing Now thread. Feel to play around with it, in its zombie unlife. Spelunky is addictive. And awesome.

Well, the 3d map sucked, but other than that the demo was good. I hit the thread over the head with a two handed mace. The thread is closed.

We understand.

All around the world millions are declaring their undying love, singing paeans to someone's beauty, describing a person in wonderful, perfect detail while thinking "I could do worse". People don't just choose the richest or the prettiest partner or the one with best personality. Most(all?) people settle for someone. Someone within their proverbial league, someone they can strive for without too much work/money/selflessness. People are lazy, scared, generally incompetent and unable to face the reasons behind their choices. No one's together with a perfect 10, everyone's married to a 5 and everyone knows it.

Keep your fantasy to every other game released, ever. This is a game set in the real world.

Pretty good? That's like saying that that Beethoven dude wasn't a bad composer. Or that Psycho was kind of an enjoyable movie. Or that the Sistine Chapel was a fairly nice bit of painting. Or that Alpha Centauri was a rather engaging game. I think I got my point across.

1984 To a God Unknown Old Man and The Sea O Anjo Ancorado The Trial The Metamorphosis Crime and Punishment Good Omens Of Mice and Men Foucault's Pendulum A list of books. Or an attempt at giving myself airs of intelligence.

what

I'd like a whole game set in old European cities from Budapest to Lisbon, passing through Florence, Barcelona, Stockholm, Prague, Paris, Edinburgh and Vienna. It could be a noir adventure/FPRPG set in the 30s. And I'm talking real locations, not fictional locations that are inspired by the real thing.

Why not build your own?

You must be doing something wrong because one general complain is that the Wasteland is a bit too packed and busy.

Just in case anyone thinks I didn't like The Witcher, let me say I enjoyed it a great deal, and in fact I'm replaying it right now. I simply think it was, in a few ways, a wasted opportunity. The combat was crap but just a step away from entering combo awesomeness, and, like I said before Geralt really was a bad choice for a protagonist, especially in a game that tries to take itself so seriously.

I don't know if it is part of the literature, but you do get some casual remarks along the way implying that the sexual prowess of witchers is legendary. Maybe a side effect of the mutagens? I think it's just the way Geralt is portrayed in the books.

The Witcher's biggest problem was that you played Geralt instead of your own character. Not that I have anything against predetermined PCs generally, it's just just that in the case of The Witcher, it lead the developers into the crooked path of fan fiction, which screwed up the main character's development and turned him into some sort of magical superhero. The amnesia and all the sex were part of that. And the fact that no one outside of Poland knew who the hell Geralt was only made things worse.

Yes, it is. Like the Loch Ness castle.

Seeing as you seem to not care what we say, follow these steps next time you are with her in public: 1. Lick your lips seductively. 2. Jump her bones. 3. get bitch slapped and/or kicked in the 'nads. 4. Pleadingly propose to marry and give her children, through the tears of pain. 5. Bask in your success.

It's probably something she really wants, and she finds it safe to talk to you about it, because she isn't interested in you in any way. Her wishes call for financial stability, not a young artist type guy who works in games.

Just count the States

She's nuts. On its own, the strategy map in Total War games is pretty bland and superficial, even if there's been definite improvement since Shogun.
