This is old news. The bookies always stop taking bets a couple of hours before the draw. Also, lucky guess seems to be the correct interpretation. Besides, it would be hard to rig a live televised draw, with hundreds of people present. You'd have to heat the balls up or something.

The game of awe and cool is back.

While in terms of setting, and also aesthetically speaking, Morrowind was quite unique, in terms of actual content Morrowind was actually very bland and repetitive. The quests were as generic as they come, the dungeons were all very samey, 99% of the NPCs had nothing to say, and the combat was awful.

King Missile - Failure Failure wants you to be proud of your lack of accomplishments. Failure wants you to own your own incompetence. Failure wants you to be confident in your inability to do anything.

Which is a fine game.

I thought Rune had pretty bad gameplay and was very repetitive. The pick "any weapon, any shield" thing, and the cool dismemberments were are all the nice things I saw in the game. I couldn't even bother finishing it.

I've seen 10 and own 4. Also, while I thought American History X was great, I didn't think it was particularly controversial.

You missed the point of Mus?'s post, DN.

There's a difference between "good storytelling" and "storytelling that makes you money." It's perfectly possible to create a game with a good storyline where your character dies horribly, it just would a lot harder to make. In fact it would be harder to pull off than every single story in the history of gaming put together. It would probably fail horribly too, in terms of sales. STALKER certainly wouldn't have pulled it off, though.

The screenshots himself look good to me, although nothing brilliant. However that's kind of what I expected as, first, it is being developed for consoles, and second, full dynamic lighting should not show the extent of its awesomeness through static images. Also, one important thing these screenies remind of is whether the game will be set in real locations. Will it? I want to chase a target in front of Fontana di Trevi amidst the tourist crowd, for example. P.S. McSneakers wears his watch like an idiot. Fix it!

We could make a game called The Adventures of The Groin Kicking Paladin! With an added animation it could be a mod for NWN2.

I can inform you that it works very well in the oil rig, too. You punch an advanced power armor clad soldier, and the only thing that stops him is a wall. I soon learned to only hit them in a direction where a wall isn't too far away, or else, I'd be playing catch up with the buggers. Edit: Also, FIXED,
