:( Sad that obsidian is making this game isometric...
Isometric was one of the core elements of the pitch/promise during the Kickstarter campaign so an isometric game it will be.

Play Ball! the 2013 Baseball Thread
**** yes! **** yes! **** yes! Shane Victorino, the Miniature Giant Hawaiian puts the Sawx on top with a 3 run triple! Edit: Make that a double plus an extra base on the throw home. Edit 2: So much for Stephen Drew's slump as he smashed a solo blast into the bullpen to put the Sawx up 4-0. Edit 3: Wacha Wacha Wacha exits the game and Napoli greets the new pitcher Lynn with a single to put the Sawx up 5-0. The Cards' season is on life support. Edit 4: The Miniature Giant Hawaiian hits a ribbie single. 6-0, this game has been broken wide open. Lackey is FINALLY getting run support. I suppose this is as good a time as any.

Is it bad? It depends on what context you put it in. By today's standards it's very basic, at the time it came out it was sort of gorundbreaking, being one of the first games in the genre other than roguelikes. It's the precursor to the Ultima series.

Game 6 is almost here. Time to get the beer. I'm so freakin' nervous right now.

The Kickstarter Thread
Yeah, it's looking doubtful it will make funding. My main issue with the project, and the reason I didn't pledge to the project, and will not, is how ridiculously ambitious it is. Even on a 20 or 30 million dollar budget this project would seem extremely ambitious to me. I can't fathom it being made for half a million dollars. I just don't see how it's possible. I would love to see it made and might buy it were it come to fruition, but I have no faith that they could get it done on that budget.

Not before they release Beyond Good and Evil 2, after that, I don't much care what happens to them. (Though Watch Dogs is shaping up to look pretty impressive) But tell me, aside from sports games, which I could not care less about, what was the last qualitatively good game EA released? So 2025 then? Geeeeeez JFSOCC I've never known you to be so vindictive If EA goes under this would effect Bioware and why would any lover of RPG want something to negatively impact the company that has brought us some of the greatest RPG of all time ? In the highly unlikely event that EA were to bite the dust, BioWare would be fine. The other publishers would get into a bidding war to buy them.

You are looking at the wrong old-school game. THIS is the game you're looking for: http://basiliskgames.com/eschalon-book-iii It will even come with a game editor this time. I can barely wait! You don't need to point me to Eschalon, I own both Book 1 & 2 and am a member of the Basilisk Games forums, though that forum is pretty dead so I barely visit. Definitely thumbs up to pointing others in the game's direction, though. Edit: I just realized how pompous that first sentence must sound. Apologies, it was not meant in that way. It's always solo.

Avadon 2: The Corruption is out today. It's available on GOG right now and, I imagine, will likely be available on Steam in 45 minutes or so. I have a lot of respect for Jeff Vogel, but, for whatever reason, I could never get into any of his games, despite liking that kind of old school stuff. Still, there is a stubbornness inside me that will likely compel me to get this game eventually.

Shut up! Two Worlds was awesome! It was like armour-Pokemon: gotta collect'em all! I would have gone with "You shut your dirty mouth!", it has a better ring to it. There is a definite contingent of people that really like Two Worlds. I'm not sure if that's because of the unintentional comedy factor, which admittedly is off the charts, or they actually like it on a serious level, which I have a hard time digesting. Either way, more power to you.

Pillars of Eternity - Project Eternity's final name?
The sheer amount of umlauts makes that a cool looking title.

Poduszki Wiecznośći makes for a really awesome title, also it sounds like a Pink Floyd song title form the mid 70s.

Holy smokes, this somehow looks even worse than Two Worlds 2 (but at least the title isn't as terrible). Considering how awful both Two Worlds and Two Worlds 2 were, that's quite the achievement. Nothing says fun like "cinematic", presumable QTE-based, combat! What are the chances that you're out to save your sister in this one? 50%? 75%? 90%?

Neverwinter Online
Yeah, I don't care about any of the quest rewards either. I do like seeing the Halloween Masquerade of Liars motif around Protector's Enclave, though. I think it looks cool. I'm mostly just working on getting that last boon in Sharandar and crafting a Perfect Terror Enchantment. I log in, grind out just enough daily quests to get the spark and to open up the first area solo dungeon and run through it to get a Shard of Terror. It generally takes about 20 minutes. Other than that, I pop in once in a while for 5 seconds to pray to my deity and log into the gateway every once in a while to collect and assign jobs. That's my extent of "playing" Neverwinter these days. Eventually I'll do a run through Malabog Castle I guess. My character is 12.1k (I still have several empty enchantment slots) so it shouldn't be a problem as long as the group I'm with has some idea of what they're doing. As an aside, how much does it cost to unlock another character slot? I wouldn't mind getting one when the next module arrives so that I can make a Ranger.

Pillars of Eternity - Project Eternity's final name?
(Sztywne) Pale Eternitu? I believe that any translation will sound awkward until you get used to it. I get this a lot while working on my book and setting, nothing sounds natural until I get used to it. On a more serious note, since there's little to go on, I'd wager construction-related words could be used in lieu of filar (if Filary Wieczności doesn't sound marketable enough). Kolumny, Podpory, Fundamenty, Stemple, Dźwigary etc. don't really sound more outrageous than Wrota Baldura or Okres Połowicznego Rozpadu Pierwiastków Radioaktywnych. I think Filary Wiecznośći sounds fine, but Kolumny Wiecznośći sounds better.

I like it, I hope it is indeed the official name. As long as it doesn't wind up being called Legends of <whatever> I'll be fine with the name.

What game is that from? I'm pretty sure it's from that new The Dark Eye game. It's kind of funny, but there were the Realms of Arkania games, then nothing from The Dark Eye system for well over a decade on the video game front, now there have been like 87 The Dark Eye games in the last 5 years or so.
