No telling yet. Considering that it's not taking place on Columbia, all bets are off. That's a whole other batch of circumstances. I mean I know it's the 50's and all but I doubt a father would lit a cigarette for his daughter. Cigarettes were considered as smoked vegetables in the 50's. They were borderline recommending giving them to babies in place of formula, or so I have been told.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat Misery 2.0 mod is out!

Company of Heroes Reversal is the new Russian Reversal?

It's a great deal, but I own all the games from the bundle that I'm interested in already. It's definitely worth picking up if you down already won SR2 & 3.

Fargo Talks Reactivity I love the fact that you can kill absolutely anyone in the game and if that person was critical to furthering the story, oh well, deal with the consequences, find a different way to proceed. I've always felt that was a better way to proceed than invulnerable characters or essentially a clone taking their spot. Anyway, this all sound really fantastic and it sounds like Fargo & Co. are swinging for the fences. 3 thoughts: 1) I hope this doesn't go the way of Broken Age, I hope Fargo has done a better job of managing the funding and staying within what they can actually accomplish with the money, because this sounds really ambitious 2) This sounds great, but will they actually follow through with this or is it just boasting? 3) I'm usually in favor of releasing a game that's as bug free as possible, but if they're going to keep pushing more reactivity into the game until the last second that will undoubtedly mean unforeseen breakage at launch, and I'm actually fine with that. I can deal with bugs and breakage for a few weeks/months if it means a more lifelike breathing world.

I got a bunch of blue weapons, they're just the same blue lev 40 weapons you can buy from the astral diamond trader. I sold some of them just for silver to clear room in my inventory and saved a few to sell in AH later. The market is flooded with them currently, but later on they may fetch a decent price since I suspect the ones you buy from the trader are likely bind on pickup, if so, I can sell them for a bit under the trader price, if not I'll sell them for silver. I think I have 9 or 10 eggs total now. I also got a pair of slotted purple pants. Now I just need a slotted purple shirt and a bunch of rank 7 enchantments and I think I can get my equip score to about 12k. (currently 9940)

Currently wiping my existing Call of Prypiat installation and redownloading the game so as to have a clean install ready for the Misery 2.0 mod. In theory, I probably could have made it work with my existing install, but with it being already fairly modded, well, why make things more difficult than they have to be.

As will I, likely, because it's an easy way for me to have the game on my Linux and Windows installation concurrently. If the game uses cloud sync, I can even easily share save games between OSs.

Ohhh, ooooh, ooooooooooh, that hurts. That really does. An ork socialite is funny and all, but it's unfortunate that you went with the useless etiquettes for (I assume you're playing Dead Man's Switch, correct me if I'm wrong,) Dead Man's Switch. I don't choose skills based on trying to minmax my character, I choose skills based on a concept I have for a character and play him or her accordingly.

This reminds me of those old Evony ads exploting sex. These days, I guess Wartune, whatever the **** that is, is the champion in that area: I have to admit that "Our sun-kissed skin so hot... Will melt your popsicle!" is a pretty fantastic slogan. On the one hand, I still remember the name Evony, so I guess the ads worked in that regard. On the other hand, I never played the game or clicked on any of the ads, so...

Doc Wagon is the Phoenix Down of Shadowrun.

I shudder to think of the Lovecraftian house Prosper would come up with.

Misery 2.0 mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Prypiat released today (a day early!) so I'm playing Look At The Clock. When Do I Get To Go Home? Why Isn't It Time To Go Home Yet? I Wish I Was At Home Right Now Downloading The Misery 2.0 Mod. It's a pretty frustrating game, but there's a big payoff at the end... I hope. Once I do get home the time it will take for me to DL the mod should give me just enough time to run through what I'm assuming is the final mission in Shadowrun Returns. Edit: Oops, never mind, I guess it doesn't release until tomorrow. The title at the top is misleading. GAH! Now I have to wait a whole extra day... again! Curses!

So far it seems like SMGs are the worst weapon type in the game, mostly because they just chew through their ammo far too quickly and don't do enough damage to really offset you having to reload all the time. On the other end of the spectrum, I rarely have to reload my rifle, even when I use full auto. Force 4 elementals are pretty pretty boss, especially when you can confidently keep them around for several turns and pump them up with 4 AP every turn. Barriers are fantastic against melee enemies, especially since I never bring any melee runners along, so it never hiders my team. My shammy rocks.

I'll jump into the editor as soon as I'm finished with the campaign. I'll likely do something quick and simplistic first, just to get my feet wet, before venturing into a lengthy branching (if that's possible) campaign.

Really? Dang, I should have actually checked.

Yeah, but it was maybe 4 or 5 pages long before the game released, since then we've filled the other 23 or 24 pages in not even a week's time.

I feel like I'm probably in the last third of the campaign now. My shaman is really powerful and I'm closing in on what seems to be the ultimate villain. Pretty good timing as I'll probably finish today or tomorrow, just in time for Misery mod action in CoP. I've had a really good time with the game. While I could honestly go through most of the battles doing nothing but hiding behind cover and shooting fools with my rifle, I enjoy using a variety of skills on the battlefield: putting up barriers, buffing myself and party members, summoning spirits, lobbing grenades. Maybe the final push is decker-heavy, but that class seems somewhat underrepresented in the game. Also, purely offensive mage spells feel somewhat underpowered, or maybe they're just overpowered in other games and feel less powerful here. Edit: Also, holy ****, this made it to a second thread already.

I'll tell you what, if it means that he's going to go 4 for 4 with a dinger the following day, Papi should smash up a phone every game.

My favorite incident is still Don Zimmerman charging Pedro and Pedro just tossing him to the ground. That was insanely hilarious.

I agree, it was a bogus as **** call. It may or may not have been inside, but regardless, umpires never call that high strike, not that high anyway. With that said, he may have overreacted just a tad.

Big Papi's meltdown yesterday was pretty fantastic: My favorite part was Laser Show ducking for cover then getting in Papi's face afterward for almost unintentionally murdering him with a bat.

With the cards I've sold I scooped up The Old Gods DLC (at 75% off) for CK2 nearly for free.

How DARE you, sir!? How dare you besmirch the good name of The Hoboken Auto Trader?

Hmm, t-storms not moving in for several more hours, morning temperature in the low to mid 70s, I guess I will get another bike ride in today, though not as long as yesterday, I need to be able to walk at work tomorrow.
