I like thread derails.

Man... 7 days later and I'd be a goner. Crazy. You mean you are 5 feet too large to fit in Obsidian's QA offices?

How does that work?

:waves hand: Everything is fine here, you didn't see anything.

Yes it was. Better than Bioshock.

Kohan was so awesome.

Thread created to house the M4-78 debate which arose in the TSLRP thread. Carry on.

A bit late, but I've just moved that M4-78 discussion to a new thread. Feel free to engage in M4-78 banter in that thread.

They are also a lot more expensive than other mp3 players. I'm not shelling out an extra 150

REALLY BAD ENOUGH DUDES don't have iPods. iPods are for sissies.

Yep, mono. I don't have TF. Yet.

I've been trying to beat you at baking bread and failing.

What I would like to see would be a portable MP3 player version of Audiosurf. Just put it on random and race away.

Really? Could you elaborate?

I wonder if that's true. Has anyone actually tried?

The marine part of AvP, and most of SS2 were pretty much built around making you scared witless thorugh your enemies, the gampelay, and the environment. They were, to me, just beyond awesome in the way they got you to feel scared. I wouldn't call it horror, though, it's more like extreme suspense. The RE style fear through crap controls, on the other hand seems just lazy design to me. As for F.E.A.R., while I enjoyed its fights immensely, I thought that the scary bits only made the game feel broken and disjointed, and never managed to scare me at all. Except for the bit with the ladder. That was a nice trick. This review made me want to give Condemned a go.

How did you keep 30 lovers with the love bar maxed out?

But I'm not even comparing Deus Ex's models to modern games' models. I'm saying that for its time, Deus Ex had awful, awful models. And on topic: Zelda overworld tune!

It's not going to happen, of course, but I wish they'd just let Star Wars die. I've had enough, and it's like they're effectively trying to take away a bit of my childhood from me. And I think they've succeeded, too.

The problem I think is that I played Deus Ex after NOLF. The difference in character models and animation quality was huge. And how did Deus Ex models not make the characters look like cartoons? Cartoons drawn by a retarded six year old but still cartoons. And the fact that there was one geometry model for all women and one model for all men didn't really help. And then there were the Final Fantasy swords. What was up with that?

I thought Deus Ex's soundtrack was far and away, the worst thing about it. BG&E had some good tracks. Edit: Actually, the worst thing about Deus Ex were the character models and animations. But the soundtrack was still crap.

Associating character development with your level is the worst design decision Bioware ever made. It started with NWN and became the standard in Bioware games. The second worst design decision was to take away the party, thus effectively killing party NPC banter. It's like they picked out the best things about BG2 and decided to axe them. And the gaming community just took it up the wazoo, and practically thanked Bioware for it.

I thought that even Kreia, toward the end, kind of lost qualities. I seem to remember that originally she wasn't meant to be the main antagonist. Maybe it was because of that.
