You left out some numbers...

How friendly.

How old are you Volourn? Don't take this the wrong way, but i thought you were 16 or 17.

Don't forget setting fire to Rome whilst playing his harp and singing in what can only be descriped as some of the nuttiest performance art EVAR. That's Nero, not Caligula. And it's not true, actually, even though he was, by all accounts, an evil man.

Jet Set Willy. Or maybe Jumping Jack.

Get an SNES emulator and play Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean and Chrono Trigger. And while you're at it try Ogre Battle, a tactical RPG where you

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that there is a difference between games and CD's or movie tickets. That is that computer gaming market was a lot smaller 20 years ago than it is now, while the markets for other entertainment items hasn't changed all that much.

Yes, you just buried all arguments in favour of PS2.

I voted Ultima IV but it's a close call between it, Black Gate and Underworld II. @Hades: Seeing how you hate first person view in RPGs, what's your take on Ultima Underworld?

But the point is that due to the money Lucas has been getting from the original trilogy, he could be making new innovative stuff in any way he likes. He could be using his money to finance new filmmakers, writers, artists and whatever. Instead he apparently decided to spend the rest of his life milking star wars. To me this is what makes George Lucas a moron.

Men, fy fan!! Det

"Ancient times"? The 90's were yesterday, so to speak. Any game younger than, say, Lands of Lore, came out recently.

I haven't read the comic, but this looks incredible!! The trailer is great, the cast is incredible and it's directed by both Rodriguez and Tarantino! I'm already feeling guilty for not having read Sin City.

Exactly! I'm 24 and gaming makes me feel like I an old codger.

The first RPG I played was Ultima 4. However, I was eight or nine years old at the time and my english wasn't really up to the task. Only much later did I manage to enjoy it properly. On console, the first RPG I played was Secret of Mana. There wasn't much RPGing in it, though.

Well, I like both styles, but to me a more verbose style feels more rewarding. However, I think verbose is harder to do well. Do you write in english, in portuguese or both?

Hey!!! You should be defending our women!! I like svenskt kvinnor better, though...

Weren't Malak and Revan buddies before turning to the dark side? As I understood it, Malak and Revan turned to the dark side at the same time and Revan became the master because (s)he was the stronger of the two. So Malak should've been the only apprentice Revan ever had.

Lately I've been listening to Cake (all albums), Genesis (Selling England by the pound), Jimi Hendrix (Are you experienced) and NOFX (So long, and thanks for all the shoes). EDIT: Oh, and Beach Boys(Pet Sounds).

Obsidian, Irrational, Monolith and Bioware are my picks. However, i'd take a job just about anywhere, so that I could get my foot in the game industry door, so to speak.

I'm a big fan of both Star Wars and RPGs. However I bought KOTOR and enjoyed it mostly because of Star Wars. In my opinion, as far as RPGs go the game was just ok. But, to me, the Star Wars Universe made the difference.

That's like saying that a game's story is good just because it's better than, say, Pacman's story. Suikoden 1 was absolutely dreadful.
