Pidesco

I remember seeing a lot of returned Torment copies in stores here in Portugal. I think a lot of people actually didn't like it.

For any time, Sargy. It's one of the best games ever.

That's because it's Miyazaki. Miyazaki is the anime equivelant of Pixar - there's something for everyone to enjoy. Pixar is awesome and all, but they really aren't in the same league as Miyazaki. And John Lasseter agrees with me. Howl's Moving Castle is not the best Miyazaki movie by a long shot but it's still better than pretty much any animated feature not by Miyazaki from the past 10 years. See, quality is not at all the comparison I tried to make. I meant as in both their animated movies are almost universally well-liked because everyone can find something enjoyable in them. (Although I have to say that yes, while Miyazaki is usually way out of Pixar's league, Pixar has it's moments of triumph. For example, the first segment of Up goes toe to toe with anything Miyazaki has to offer IMO). I have to admit though, Princess Mononoke is my favourite animated feature of all time. (Also, I agree with Pidesco, including the part about Grave of the Fireflies. Be warned though, that film has brought many a grown man to outright weeping!) I definitely agree about Up. The introductory segment about Carl's life was quite simply magical. Up is just a bit disappointing after it turns into action adventure mode. A similar thing happened with Wall-e. Anyway, Pixar's animation skills are nothing short of awesome. The bird in Up, for example, was incredible. I am not ashamed to say that Grave of the Fireflies had me crying like a little girl.

My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke are probably the best ones, and simply essential. If you're into animation, then you should see all of them and throw in Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies for good measure. I'll be seeing Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea later today.

Double post? I don't see no double post nowhere.

It makes the kids seem like kids, instead of sanitized, Hollywood versions of children?

Like everything, it's all about how you use it.

I second that. The first Quake and the first Worms were also little bits of awesomeness. Oh, and Unreal Tournament.

Totally! Female, even!

I had sex! It was scary in an awesome way! And unexplainable as it wasn't a commercial transaction! And it has happened a bunch of times! And with several different people! And I'm not lying nor on drugs! I'm special!

Yeah. You're still a nerd for posting in a game forum. No way around it.

Into The Wild Great. Perhaps the best travel movie I've seen. Sean Penn really turned into an accomplished director. Also, I really enjoyed Jena Malone as the narrator.

Its action RPG, it has 3rd person camera, it uses Unreal Engine 3, it has somewhat similar dialogue and RPG systems, the main character is male with short hair, ... Mass Effect, however, is a squad based action game, and doesn't have proper melee combat, nor stealth. Not a clone, unless you think that, say, Torment is a clone of Baldur's Gate.

AP isn't a clone of Mass Effect, except in the sense that both games belong to roughly the same genre.

There could be a secret game mode where every single dialogue has only those 4 options. Even if you're talking to the President of Taiwan.

Mass Effect was KOTOR, but with better combat.

Kirottu?

No M/F/F/M/F/M/MF/HG romance option in Dragon Age? Clearly, Bioware discriminates against minorities.

For someone relatively respected in the RPG community such as it is, you say awfully stupid things. who the what, now.

I plan on attending if someone is willing to pay the traveling expenses from here to Seattle.

You said the dialogue was tripe. That doesn't strike me as a positive expression of your feelings towards the movie. I thought the big dialogue scenes were generally great, especially the first scene with Landa and the guy harboring the Jewish family.

I would like you to explain in detail how SoZ and IWD2 are worse than NWN, especially considering that the main activity in these three games is combat.

NWN left such a strong impression in me, that every time a song from the OC started playing in NWN2 I had urges to quit the game. And sometimes I did.

Imagine if you were playing P&P D&D with just one rolled character and a retarded DM. Is it fun? Well, that's the single player NWN experience.
