Yes, yes I do. Will continue to do so.

I feel like she's be setter suited to play Faith from Mirror's Edge rather than Lara Croft. Original Faith, mind you, not the new Now 85% Less Asian! Faith. Not to mention that Lara don't wear no mini-skirt, she wears khaki short shorts.

Heretic!

Yikes, that's one of them 'real life doll' women. Freakin' frightening.

It was only a matter of time until Oby showed up in this thread. I'm surprised it took this long. I prefer the Barbie on the right, by the way.

This bad boy is great for flipping eggs:

Get real, man You can find a bad picture of any celebrity, whether bad hair day, just woke up, long night out, just happen to be making a weird face, whatever. Besides, I still think she looks beautiful in both pictures, even the one where she's eating the ice cream, blemishes and all. If anything, the blemishes are reassuring. I kind of like it when women look like actual real people. Some of the pictures where they get super dolled up I find a bit disturbing, because they look like they're made out of plastic. And those women that call themselves "real life dolls" or whatever, those are straight up frightening to me. (I won't post a picture because of that reason but you can find them on google easy enough).

What drives me nuts is that every time I get to somewhere where I start to do something even somewhat enjoyable, the game has to throw me right back into Murder Fest 2013. For example, when I got to the beach, I was like "cool a nice big open area with plenty of jumping and climbing." Mind you, none of it presented any real challenge, but at least there were a few areas where I had to look around and actually think for 20 or 30 seconds about how I'm going to get there. As soon as I'm starting to get into a somewhat fun exploring and platforming groove, sure enough, here are 20 more goons to murder. Goodbye fun, hello ****ty shootout. There are a few cool action sequences where you're running along crumbling bridges or exploding rooftops where they cleverly disguise childishly easy platforming and make it seem more challenging and exciting than it is with SPLOSHUNS! Unfortunately, like everything else that's even remotely fun, these are constantly interrupted by ****ty murdering.

Exactly. Yet, it's a surprisingly untapped field. The few games that even have you playing a cop usually just use it as an excuse to get into cover shooter situations.

On the more local front, here's Connecticut's resident hottie traffic reporter Rachel Lutzker: She can tell me about congestion on I-95 any day, amirite? /stands up for high five Wait, that doesn't really work //hides in shame

Oh, I want this to succeed in the worst way possible too. I loved PQ 1-3, they were fantastic games. Some of the ideas of this project sound really good. I really like the idea of being able to play a good, by the book, cop, or a bad, dirty cop. If handled correctly, the dirty cop dynamic could be far more interesting than the typical evil option in games of "Muahahahaha, let the villagers die". The dirty cop play style could spark its own subplots. It could start innocently enough where you bypass certain procedures to ensure someone slippery gets brought to justice. Ends justify the means and all that. But then it becomes a slippery slope. Why shouldn't you get a little extra bonus for your hard work in keeping the streets safe? What do you have to do to keep people from finding out about you circumventing the rules. Each step brings you further down the slope of corruption and makes it more difficult to come back and redeem yourself. What started as good intentions now has turned to cover up at any cost. Or maybe you don't want to redeem yourself? How far can you keep this going? How low are you willing to go to keep the money flowing and the superiors unaware? Maybe they become part of it too? Can you stay in control of the situation?

Yeah, that's part of what has me worried. Usually you need be closer to 20% of the way there at this point to have a realistic chance of making the goal. Stranger things have happened, but it's not looking good.

Just when my wallet was starting to recover (that's a blatant lie). Well, I can't not support a Sierra alum, and I did love the bejesus out of Police Quest. Sonny Bonds Maxwell Jones reporting for duty. I fear that the $30 entry point to get the game will turn away many would-be supporters. Aware of the concerns over the relatively steep entry price, they've introduced a lower $19 tier now (limited amount). The $30 tier has been turned into a bonus edition of sorts. Good move I think. Yeah, though I still think their tier structure and rewards are rather wonky/unattractive. Honestly, as much as I want this to succeed, and I do, this whole thing reeks of unprepared and hurried. It may be in their best interest to scrap this, research some successful tier structures, and come back with a better, more focused pitch and better tier structure a month or two from now. If nothing else, it would give people's wallets time to recover from the Steam sale.

What will happen to your tiger mount when Cryptic puts out a leopard mount?

Cosplayers, eh? How long until this thread devolves into anime and furries?

Ugh, I doubt I'm going to finish Tomb Raider. I'm on the beach looking for Alex, however far into the game that is. At this point, my hatred for this game has grown so strong it's pretty much overtaking any desire I have left to finish it. I just want this crap off my hard drive and out of my life.

The question about creation. Do our creators want to destroy us? Were we an accident? A mistake? A random experiment gone wrong? Why did they make us in the first place? For what purpose? To play god? Simply to experiment? As some sort of desperate bid to survive?

Prometheus is frustrating as ****. There are things to like about the movie. The cinematography is flat out amazing (it should be it's a Ridley Scott film), there are some really cool sequences, and there central message/theme is pretty profound. However, the plot has so many holes in it that it's more hole than plot. I mean, the writing is absolutely atrocious. So many things in the movie make absolutely no sense at all. There are characters that are completely useless both from a plot and an entertainment standpoint. It's such a mess. It 's a movie that makes you think, for the right reasons (profound message) and for the wrong reasons (what the **** is going on? None of this makes any sense).

To tie into video games, Roberta Williams was quite the looker back in the day:

The most beautiful woman in the world, some 15 years running now, is Charlize Theron; Slightly lesser these days with the short hair, but still #1. Your opinion may differ, in that case you're just wrong.

I also scooped up Risen 2 Gold, but I have to finish my hate-play of Tomb Raider first. By that time it will almost be time for Shadowrun Returns and Call of Prypiat Misery 2.0, so I may not play I for some months.

I'm still going to get that purple angel companion for ardent coins... Some 9 or 10 months from now. There's nothing else worth trading those coins for anyway. The new purple healer companion does seem cool, but no chance I'm spending Zen for a small chance of getting one. Screw that. I'm happy with my Acolyte of Kelemvor. In theory, some day, far off into the distant future, they will introduce those mythical manuals that will let me upgrade her to a purple companion. In theory.

Still no La Mulana or Of Orcs and Men on special, yet I've seen some games 2 or 3 times on special already.

If they make a sequel it will be far more action oriented and called Cradle 2: The Grave. /hides

Well, metal nipples ARE pretty doggone cool. Also, I looks like it's not a murder simulator, which is a definite plus.
