I'm not sure I'd call the main quest excellent. I'd say the main quest is competent. It's a shorter KOTOR with better combat. Of course, competent can go a long way when compared to much of the stuff that's usually released. Also, the exposition through dialogue can be pretty atrocious.

Quantum of Solace. Pretty damn good. I was particularly impressed by how they made the action so frantic, yet followable. also, Bond as a really cold hearted bastard is working very well. He's never been more human. Finally, yay for the Goldfinger homage scene.

I don't think most Europeans with half a brain, are of the opinion that Europe is some haven for healthy multiculturalism. Also, try not to lump the whole of Europe into one bag of xenophobia. The Portuguese are certainly more racist than the Swedes, for example. Anyway, every culture is filled with xenophobia, even if it manifests itself differently from culture to culture.

See No Evil I'd like it if AP took some inspiration from this book. Not very likely, of course, even if Obsidian mentioned Syriana in one of the previews.

One thing about the hubs is unclear to me. Are the hubs just the player's house used to keep stuff, or are the hubs one neighborhood, which is the location for the zone's main quest and includes your safehouse? The hub structure makes it sound like the gameworld isn't very continuous.

Who still doesn't have a DVD drive on their PC? These days, it's like not having a mouse.

Raven Shield. SWAT 4.

He has an Icosa Core at 6.13 Thz, with 64 Teras of RAM, and a GeRadeon XXX666 GTX. However, he's running DOS 3.0 for security purposes. He can run Bouncing Babies, though (with a few dozen instances of Mo'slo running on top of each other).

It's very paralyzing, though. And it doesn't affect me when I "only" care for the woman involved.

As you go up in levels that's true, but in the first half of F2 melee isn't that easy. It's a cakewalk after you get slayer, of course.

I fear rejection from the women I fall in love with.

I want to have WoG's babies. It's just that good.

I'd like to see Obsidian make a game where the party NPC interaction is a mixture of Torment and BG2.

Fallout 1 is the tighter, better designed game, but fallout 2 takes the cake for me, because of the melee combat. Crotch and eye punching my way to victory, FTW.

I'd like to remind people that Mass Effect's side content is filler of the worst kind. Functionally, you basically visit the same planet dozens of time, using a moon buggy that controls like ass, and yet provides no challenge whatsoever.

I just wish they'd stay away from D&D, and FR in particular, for the next 10 years.

I haven't got a clue.

In Bruges is pretty effing awesome! Even Colin Farrel is good in it.

I get the feeling that people are happy about Fallout 3's dialogue because their comparing it with the Elder Scrolls games.

So you're complaining that the Kotor game which was specifically written by Chris Avellone is dead? I hate to break it to you, but I don't think it's dead, it's just finished. The point is, that instead of begging for sequel after sequel of the same stuff, perhaps it would be a good idea to ask developers to make new, innovative games. Games that take risks, do different things, and don't retread the same plot lines and settings.

Let me check.... Yep, Avellone still writes and designs games. I think you're safe.

Shame on the publishers for taking from you a franchise that was never yours, and was designed with the specific purpose of taking away your cash. Also, it was very cunning of them to achieve this by promising that the franchise will be continued and made available in stores for many years to come. It's just evil! Unless Bioware completely stops making games I think your precious generic gameplay experience is safe.

Memoirs of an Invisible Man is on the wrong list.

W. Not a very good movie, mostly on account of the subject matter, which makes Bush an easily manipulated, naive fool that got to where he is on account of the people around him and a bit of strength of will. Some great acting, though. Richard Dreyfuss and Jeffrey Wright were particularly impressive, playing the bad guy and the good guy, respectively. Bush tries to catch the ball, but it just flew over his head.

How are the big guns' fatalities? Can you rip half of someone's chest apart? Also, can turn someone's head into red mist with your fists?
