Red Riding Hood found the wolf in a cemetery.

VATS is not only really awful as an EXTREME gameplay device, but also it effectively breaks the gameplay. It's quite literally a cheat button, and I'm amazed F3 wasn't lambasted for it, even by mainstream reviewers. In fact, I'm really surprised it even passed alpha. It really is a horrible idea, and terribly implemented, at that.

The economy here in Portugal is about as good as dead. However, as that was already the case before the downturn and was already the case before my great-great-grandparents were born, things are actually more or less the same as they have always been. We have western European prices coupled with eastern European wages. I make 700

Kirottu delivers.

Now that was just awesome.

Portugal delivers, yet again.

I'm at work, so I can't see the video, but those inventory screens are teh awesome.

The NWN2 forums are hosted on Bioware's boards. Bioware is the company which made the original NWN. As such, you'll need to register there to post in NWN2's official forums.

Holy moley,

That can be annoying, but I was thinking about the GUI, myself.

I just got out of vault 101, and it was pretty cool to just step out into the vast wasteland. The coolness was snuffed out by a freaking achievement, though. Also, the corridor nature of the vault and the generally bland design gave me bad Morrowind/Oblivion vibes. I got an achievement for answering ten questions. What is up with that? It's like that achievement flash game, only without the sense of irony.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Bioware is now the Squaresoft of the west.

I miss an interface on a PC game that is designed for a mouse and keyboard setup.

The interface is atrociously designed, too.

I like how the intro to Fallout 3 sticks very closely to the format of F1 and 2's intros while completely missing the point at the same time.

I had a rather weird end to my day, today, where a bunch of stuff happened to me for the first time. I bought Fallout 3 for the PC, today. This, in itself, isn't that weird, even if a bit unexpected. However, not only did I buy Fallout 3, but I bought it used, in a Portuguese Game, from a fairly hot female Portuguese gamer(WAT???), who proceeded to offer me noob advice on how to play F3. Her advice was in the form of a question, when she asked whether I was going to cheat. At first I thought she meant VATS, but I just pointed out that it's a pretty easy game, which prompted her to explain that F3 takes 300 hours to finish. I told her that that was a load of marketing bollocks, although not in so many words. I left the store wondering if I was having some sort of drug induced dream, or if this chain of events was one of the signs of the apocalypse. I'm guessing her reaction to me buying F3 means either that: a)I don't look like a gamer; b)I look old or; c)both.

The ones who insert the "tapping a few keys on the keyboard turns a grainy low-res image into a super sharp high-res image" thing, into their plots, of course.

Queens Of The Stone Age - White Wedding Pretty awesome cover.

That's what you say now. The idiot Hollywood writers of today are the visionaries of tomorrow.

Which reasons are these? Well, the moves are all mocapped, so with the amount of time spent in the studio it seems unlikely that they would have a plethora of different strikes and only one takedown for each situation (armed/unarmed front/back). Martial Artists also tend to know a variety of takedowns, and many like to show them off. Add to that that the CQC is it's own skill and level progression is supposed to grant new combos etc., and it seems like too significant a portion of the game to skimp on visually. Ao2 and K&L didn't even have much in the way of mechanics governing CQC, it was just something you used when you ended up too close. In the case of AP it's a "weapon" skill with its own progression like pistols and assault rifles. That's just my edumacated guesswork though, Sawyer might step in at any moment to tell us (hint hint). The game currently features multiple takedowns. I even did the mocap for one of them. Nice. Do we win anything if we can figure out which one when the game releases? It's the one where Thorton takes a bad guy down by stabbing him with a pocket protector. It's, at the same time, geeky and awesome because it takes the "everything is a weapon" mantra to the next level.

The graphics were rather nice. The gameplay seemed like Prince of Persia with guns.

It's pretty hard, but I finished it. Because I'm awesome.

KOTOR2 Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Super Star Wars Jedi Academy KOTOR1 X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter and Jedi Knight were awesome, but I never owned them.

Formula 1 was awesome in the late 80s and early 90s. Now, it's awfully predictable and boring. Of course, it's still better than hillbillies turning left.
