yeah and all others too I could live without most of the others. The only other one I could see even bothering to stick with you after defeating the king of shadows would be Elanee. Khelgar and Neeshka are the most loyal I think, also the most popular. What about the construct. He'd stick by you no matter what! @Role-Player: Wasn't there a comment by Sawyer that said that the exceptions (required party members) is only during the prologue?

I actually really like the idea that if you tick them off they won't listen to you in combat/stop sharing/won't allow themselves to be treated as pack mules.

Anand and Toms are saying that it will be sold for $880+.

Why does everyone hate the Neverwinter Nights camera? What makes you think it's the worst. I just don't understand the aversion to it. It's easily controlled with a wide range of views. What is the problem?

I just finished off a can of coke and now I'm going to bed before I start feeling the need for that 2am meal...

Damnit Canucks! You buy a two goal lead! Damn you!

It's my topic creation for the year. Partially inspired by posts in the Ninja Gaiden thread. In your opinion, what game, that you have played, had the worst camera? Why didn't you like it? Was it not responsive enough? Did it never point at what you wanted it to? What made it the worst camera you've ever had the misfortune to try to play with? Personally my pick would probably have to be the camera for Jade Empire. The camera in that game was only part of the problem though. The controls were slightly awkward, however most of the game was easy enough that I could compensate for it. What I could not compensate for however was a camera that could not keep up with my movements. It just wasn't moving fast enough for my tastes and had no way (that I could find) to tell it to move faster. Ninja Gaiden had a button that would instantly pull the camera behind Ryu and I made extensive use of it. Jade Empire had no such luxury. I had to wait for the camera to rotate by itself. It becomes incredibly difficult to dodge a dozen enemies properly when you can't see any of them and it's showing everything behind you so right on your control stick really equals left on screen and up is actually towards the bottom of the screen (and all the enemies).

The view that CBC showed just a moment ago on "Behind the Mask" looked like the puck was definitely over the goal line to me. This to me does seem to be a little bit of a one mistake to fix another deal.

Redheads don't actually exist. I've never seen one. Now that you mention it, I can't think of any women I've seen that had red hair. There are a number of them around here that have dyed their hair red, but that's it. Everyone else has been a lot closer to brunette. On the other hand, about half the guys I know of red hair of some variety.

That thing is huge!

No you're boring! I don't think Ottawa will fully lose the "playoff choker" label until they win the cup. Until they win it all, there will always be people out that that will say the choked. I can't honestly remember just how much contact was made by Fisher, but I do remember thinking that Brodeur got caught just like Hasek trying to sell the penalty. Question though: What was Ottawa "doing during the game" in your opinion? I didn't see much myself, but then I'm a little biased. W00T San Jose takes game 3!

Hurray! Sens win!

I died so many times on that part. I can't snipe with a gamepad.

Why? Because the CBC overtime montage just keeps getting longer and longer? EDIT: Nevermind. I see New York and Buffalo are trying to challenge Vancouver and Dallas.

Nah. You're just damn unlucky. My ATI card hasn't given me any trouble except for one time when it overheated, but that was because the heatsink was so full of dust. Some people have horrendous problems with ATI, some with nVidia.

Space Canadians running around assassinating people?

Canadian flag for the racial emblem and the leader has a french name. Who else could they be? Heh. What's the name of the empire and while you're at it, how about the leader's name as well? I knew there was a Canadian flag emblem, but I've never seen anything use it except my own custom race. "

Space Canadians? I'm playing Jade Empire right now. Decent enough game but the camera is really starting to piss me off. I've lost count of the number of times I've died because of it. You dodge one way and the camera is still in it's original position. You dodge again because you landed next to some guy with a sword intent on skewering you, but because the camera angle isn't showing what your character is you dodge the wrong way and get trapped along a wall. Also the controls in the Pit of Pain challenge are really ****ing annoying. Fixed perspective and character movement is mapped to the current facing. Pushing up makes you go forward, which could be up, or it could be down, or anything to either side. This challenge would be so much easier if pushing up made your character actually go up on the screen! On top of all that there are blind spots in the arena where you can't see your character. "Why the hell am I not moving back where I can see myself? Oh, I was facing the wall? How the hell was I supposed to know that?! I CAN'T SEE MY DAMN CHARACTER!" Whoever came up with this control scheme should be thrown in the basement so they can't suggest any more stupid ideas.

OMG! The Devils sold out a game!

Is Bulis greased up or something? It seems like he's managed to just slip out of about 5 bodychecks along the boards there in OT. EDIT: Holy crap. *hopes he didn't wake anyone up* Hurray! Cowan scores. Banked it off Giguere. Did you see the shot from inside the net? Its like it just phased through his pads or something. No. I must have missed the net cam shot. I saw the usually centre ice zoomed in shot and one from right above Linden along the boards.

And which driver version is that?

Detroit had a good 2000 empty seats as well...

Neither game really went as I would have expected. 5 goals on Brodeur and the Wings shut out?

Okay, maybe it won't teach Bok. I've been reading through the comments there. The XT at least still seems to be a good buy and hopefully the 2600 series will smack the 8600 around.
