"And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar."

The pinnacle of the host tower is a rooftop, it's open to the sky. That I used call lightning several times while advancing through the lower floors of the tower is another matter entirely.

I finally made it to chapter 3 in Neverwinter Nights. I had forgotten how many floors of the Host Tower there are to go through. Granted, you don't have to go through all of them. In fact, I think you can go 1 > 2 > 6 > Pinnacle, but, being the completionist I am, I had to go through every single floor and wipe everybody out. Finally, I reached the top of the tower, Aribeth did her heel turn, and I whooped up the lizard chumps to finish chapter 2. Kind of anti-climactic since by that time I already knew about Aribeth's betrayal and the enemies left for me to fight once Maugrim and Aribeth made their escape were pretty pathetic. I would have liked something meatier to finish off the chapter. I mean, I spent all that time buffing the **** out of myself and my companions before entering the pinnacle and it was rather unnecessary. The battle went like this: Empowered Call Lightning, which killed everybody save for 3 enemies (who were rather hurt, as you can imagine), then about 5 seconds worth of physical attacks from my companions. Battle over. Oh well.

It's in beta on Android now. Free to play but supposedly not pay to win. That's what they say, anyhow.

Now I want to watch that movie.

Don't know yet. I'm not familiar with Indonesian folklore so I have no idea what manner of beasties I'll be up against. I just hope it's not zombies. Er, I think he was getting at something else.... Yeah, I got that. I just wasn't going down that road.

Wasn't she in a Jason Statham movie? I don't remember which one. They're all exactly the same anyhow. Anyway, she's very pretty.

Don't know yet. I'm not familiar with Indonesian folklore so I have no idea what manner of beasties I'll be up against. I just hope it's not zombies.

I still say we should stick with just one woman. I vote for the redhead, she's better than gang sign girl, Julia Roberts, and old timey actress.

It should serve you well for years to come. The R9 290 is a beast and I doubt your CPU will bottleneck it (very rarely at most). Also, you did a splendid yob keeping your cables tidy. I tried my best and couldn't get my cables anywhere near as tidy, granted I have more cables to deal with.

You guys have already broken the rules of this thread, and we're not even 2 pages in. The title clearly states "pretty woman", singular, yet I count no less than 3 different women pictured.

Bruce has been through enough as of late, what with the whole Zoe Quinn fiasco and then AssCreed: Sausage Fest revealing the female character, only to find out she's not playable. No need to (continue to) kick a man when he's down.

@Bruce - I don't pirate games. Every game I play has been purchased legitimately.

So I scooped up DreadOut, which sounds like a rastafarian dance game, but is actually a low budget (PS2-level graphics for the win!) Indonesian horror game heavily influenced by Fatal Frame. I only played a bit and haven't had a chance to encounter an baddies yet.

In fairness, Cooking Mama is pretty ace.

Yeah. They're playing their worst stretch of baseball right now. Starting a series with the Angels on Friday. Key series for both teams. Angel's Garrett Richards went down with left patellar knee injury. Huge hit for the Angels as Richards was their staff ace this year. The injury could be anything from a dislocation of the knee cap or a tear of the patellar tendons or ligaments. Won't know more until the MRI results come in. I'm not an Angels fan but really hoping this isn't serious. It's torn, he's out for the rest of the season (and then some). Devastating blow to the Angels.

I finally made it to Luskan in Neverwinter Nights. I had more side quests to tie up around Port Llast than I realized. The Brother Toras battle was the toughest thing I encountered in the Port Llast area of the game. Not brutal, but definitely challenging. Homeslice can unleash some pretty brutal spells. Now onwards an upwards to chapter 3.

Everything gets pirated. Freakin' open source programs freely available get pirated. In fact, the pirates that pirated the Pillars of Eternity Beta were themselves pirated, by pirates that were also themselves pirated. We're so many layers deep in pirating now that I'm not sure there is anything legitimate left in the world, it's all pirated copies of pirated copies.

I doubt this will change anything as far as "core games" go at least not right away. Personally I would welcome a bit of a shift. I've had my fill of **** yeah, bro! *brofist* games, I wouldn't mind playing something different. Plus, even with a bit of a shift, I can pretty much guarantee that plenty of brotastic games would still get made.

I, for one, welcome our new adult female overlords.

On a serious note, party-based, turn-based, first person cRGP. Might & Magic X kind of got my juices flowing for that kind of game again.

Linear third person action game with an emphasis on setpieces and quick time events.

Selfishly, I kinda hope Nic Cage never gets out of financial trouble so that he has to keep starring in these hilariously awful movies. His accent in this trailer is Magnifique!

I'm used to it now, but it drove me nuts for the first couple months.
