MCA / Chris Parker Interview
This leaves me very excited, especially the bit about combat skills giving dialogue options. However, there are two or three things that would leave me very happy if they were changed: The yellow font seems a bit too flashy for my tastes. It would be nice if they changed it to something a bit more subdued. The display of +1 reputation on screen takes away from character development, and turns conversation into a silly meta game instead of, you know, a conversation with an actual person. At the very least, hide the info from the main screen, and preferably make it a completely hidden variable. I hated it in your previous games, and I will hate it here. Limit the amount of guns you can carry at a time. Going around with two hand guns and two rifles seems a little over the top for something set in the real world. I'd really love to see a video of a conversation, mostly to see what the faces and animations will look like in the finished product.

What are you playing now?
It's an awesome FPS with fairly open ended levels, where action and stealth approaches are viable gameplay options, aprtly because your enemies have great AI. Also, it has funny conversations which make even the goons you face seem like real people, intelligence items to pick up that add depth and hilariousness to the game world, and most importantly it doesn't take itself seriously. Finally, the game and has the best set pieces(only matched by the sequel) you can find in a FPS. Oh, and it also stars the best female lead character in gaming, ever.

Mini games and button mashing
I really don't know. the AI had the habit of throwing away winning die, for example. Say, if you had a pair of fours, and the AI had three fours, it was perfectly possible, and even probable, for the AI to pick one or two of the fours to roll again. It was retarded.

What are you playing now?
How anyone can prefer FEAR to NOLF just boggles the mind. I enjoyed the fights in FEAR, but other than it was pretty horrible. It's probably the most disjointed game I've ever played.

Did you all only play it after the Enhanced edition? Originally, the AI made it almost impossible to lose. It was an infinite source of money.

Got any good examples? Of the top of my head? Hacking in Fallout 3. Bar games in Fable. That dice game in the Witcher. The dice game in the Witcher was essentially broken, before the enhanced edition.

No, people who complain about those not liking comics is trolling, not people who tell trolls to get a life. Get a life, then.

Ouch. Make that a 40 foot pole.

What you did today
TVI? I wouldn't touch that with a twenty foot pole. Is it a live broadcast?

Who the what, now? How did that happen?

Pictures of your games
Note how Bok doesn't show the frame rate in those pictures. It's shame.

Accents and languages in game VO
Many American song hits were adaptations of French songs. My Way, for example.

Accents and languages in game VO
As far as I know, And Now For Something Completely Different was done with the explicit purpose of introducing Americans to Monty Python, but failed in that regard.

Neither. It's doughnut.

There's some marketing talent going on there.

My opinion on the words "dialogue" and "dialog".
Unfortunately, language is a tyranny of the majority.

It's not like Marvel isn't an assortment of incompetent writers and artists, anyway.

I remember seeing people complain about Sheena Easton's Scottish accent in Torment.
