I'd like to do that live on TV: Me to the moron - "Men enjoy cricket, so this cricket bat cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal to you." *smash*

The only people I know who practiced abstinence until marriage are either really, really old or dead.

Well, it was boring as there was almost nothing to do, which had the effect of giving about the same amount of tactical options as Tic Tac Toe.

I'd like to point out that the OC wasn't NWN's only problem. Another problem was that the game's core gameplay makes for some atrocious single player gaming. Playing DnD by yourself with a one man party, and no DM isn't what I'd call a fun experience.

What's the difference between a January and an Enero?

That's just not awesome.

And after a while you find out that the warmth is actually due to some kids peeing in the water?

That's just so awesome.

I have all the IWD2 portraits in original IE format.

That line was taken from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, actually.

She picked him up! How can she be an hallucination?

1 - 17 2 - 29 3 - 30 4 - 42 5 - 33 I will hunt down anyone who doesn't vote for 17.

The kill animations in Ass Creed were quite awesome.

Ok, as a teacher, that's absolutely ridiculous. Students and parents would lynch me if I had that mentality, and rightly so. If a student turns in a great essay with minimal errors, they get a perfect score. Again, why have the number 10 if it's never used? Wait, what? What do you mean by minimal errors? How can you give a perfect score to a student that makes mistakes in his work?

So, what is Gaius' Six?

my reaction as well.

This episode was quite awesome.

^What he said.

But aren't you saying that the art market for games isn't really exploitable right now?

Do you have to get Vista? It's just that I'd suggest you leave that purchase to a later time. Not that it's bad just that I think Vista is superfluous, right now. As for extra options, I'd go with with more hard drive space, and I'd tell you not to get the Extreme Audio sound card, as it sucks. Get at least the Extreme Gamer. Finally, get a huge banner with Chillblast Fusion Juggernaut on it. That name is so ridiculous, it becomes awesome.

Their third and fourth albums were good. Everything else, however was less than stellar, to say the least... Lhasa de Sela - Desde

While I agree in broad terms with what Pixies is saying, I think that there is market for art games. It's a much smaller market than the mainstream of course, but it's there for a developer to cater to and profit from. It's tiny, but it's also pretty much an untapped market without any competition. I think real, in depth studies of the gamer demographic are in order. I think cinema is a good industry for the gaming industry to learn from due to its multifaceted structure. The fact that a huge chunk of the film industry is broad appeal, Hollywood blockbusters, hasn't stopped smaller arthouse films from across the world, from getting financed and from being successful. Considering there's an industry where products as diverse as Titanic, Airplane!, Weekend, Ben Hur, City of God, Raising Victor Vargas, or Persona can all be made, and be commercially successful, I can't see why games as industry can't have as broad a range as any other cultural endeavour. Linkin' Park can live alongside John Cage.

I don't know about this talk of ATI not putting up a fight with Nvidia. Of late I've been following graphics card prices here in Portugal, and the 38xx series really pu shed Nvidia's prices down. I can now buy a 9600GT here for 129

There's a certain type of entertainment that I generally enjoy more and, as such, I'd like more of those types of films and games and whatever to be made. It makes sense doesn't it? And besides I feel that the "unwashed masses" already have more mainstream titles than they can possibly play, while I usually have to wait at least a year to get like one game that's right up my alley.
