(not a forum)Troll Flying around portside Goblin doing the Crane Kick

Played 6 hours of Faery and seem to be in the final bit of the game. So overal it will probably end up as 8 hours of gameplay, including me being unable to find some npcs and searching for them. Enjoyed it a lot so far, so it is a shame it isn't longer.

I'll let you know how annoyed I am at the cliffhanger once I get there

Damn steam releases messing with my sense of time

Whoa, where am I? Yeah, let's not make a goblin of myself... Because I really don't think this would be a good look for me: (awesome detail: as an attack animation the goblins take the fish out of their mouths and wack you with it) Companions have an affection system? Morrigan probably disapproves... And with some of the questions I ask, even my character facepalms...

Playing the new Spiders Studio rpg. Woot woot Faery - Legends of Avalon I haven't gotten far yet but so far I love it. The grim and gritty: Turn based combat, similar to jrpgs. You wait your turn and then act. There is a front and a back row. When you get your turn, you can act based on your action points (you start with one and quickly get a second one) - each normal attack costs one action point, more complicated or powerful ones can cost two or more. You can split your actions between targets and create combos, using for example a weakening spell as your first action to open the enemy up for your damaging follow up attack. My character at the moment has a spell that reduces the damage of the next attack, so she finishes off the enemy damaged by my companion with her first attack, then weakens the boss with her ssecond so the retaliation has less oomph. Or she could tag two enemies with her weakening spell. your character levels up and gains skill points. Skill points are spend on metamorphoses. So I got myself butterfly upper wings which give me a lightning spell. When I fly I leave behind an ice track (little snowflakes), giving me the aforementioned ice missile weakening spell. I now unlocked a wisp aura, giving me a party heal. If I got Ram Horns I think I could deal increased damage, while various facial markings would increase HP etc... Also you gather various equipment, like boots etc. completing a set obviously gives increased bonuses. Story: When mankind stopped believing in faeries and magic dwindled, the faeries retreated to remote locations of strong magic. You awaken from stasis, where you apparently retreated when magic started to weaken, to live inside your own dreams, to find the faery kingdoms nearly gone completly. Oberon sends you on a last hope quest to save them. I haven't gotten much further and wouldn't want to spoil. character creation: You select gender (male/female) and then go wild on sliders for noses, ears, chin, cheeks etc. You can play around with skin colour, hair colour, adjusting magenta, green, yellow, red etc saturation, brightness and contrast. Party: your first quest is to recruit two companions. I don't know how many you get in the game (I hope more). So far my companion really likes me as I selected the nice dialogue choices. Voice acting: This was something that people were rather unhappy about apparently with Mars War Logs. Don't fear, Faery does not have bad voice acting! It has no voice acting whatsoever Graphics: the main character is really nice. So are other character models (goblins at least are awesome). The environment in the starting area seems bland. Overall: loving it so far

That is a shame. With your game it actually motivates to look things up. Especially that specific battle against Rosbjerg's countryman.

There is one thing left to truly complete your playthrough: Do a They Live movie night.

Thanks for the review Raithe.

Topware has some bundle sales going. They are mostly older gamers, but there are some good ones among them that are well worth it. RPG Bundle (6,69 €) : Two Worlds, Two Worlds 2, Enclave, Knight Shift, Jagged Alliance 2, Gorky 17, Septerra Core RTS Bundle (5,18 €) : Earth 2140, Earth 2150, Earth 2160, WW2: Panzer Claws, WW3: Black Gold, Planets Under Attack I really loved the Eart 21** series.

This forum has rules about having rules.

GMG summer sale starts today 'till 13th. Summer voucher code for an additional 10% off: IFDSUM-MERSAL-E10OFF valid until 10am UTC on Monday 9th June.

Lana. Lana! LANA!!! Danger Zone!

But does it have (alien) romance options?

If we are talking shows I'll just throw in my own personal experience and bugger off again: I am/was a huge BSG fan. Got the pilot/mini-series on DvD. Then bought Season 1, then Season 2. After Season 2, in preparation for Season 3, Scy-Fy did a series of free webisodes. These were regionlocked on their site to US IPs only. When they added them to the Season 3 DVD, they were only included in US DVD releases, not the EU ones. So I installed a torrent thingy and downloaded the free webisodes someone had put up. (I found the link to do so on the Scy-Fy website were someone had left a comment with the link for non-US fans ) Obviously I could have lived fine without those 10 minutes. But it is pretty ****ty from a company to tell a paying fanbase that "Meh, screw you, you are just extra cash for when we ar done with our primary target audience, so why should you get the same product (for more money)?" So all of a sudden I am a pirate for wanting to see what the free stuff is... edit: In the end I mostly agree with Hiro. Piracy is easy and bad enough as it is, without companies actively alienising their fanbase. It's the whole "gateway drug" aspect: get people to pirate out of "legitimate" reasons and you start breaking the barrier for non-legitimate downloads.

Malc you have to admit its always better playing an RPG where you can explore the various Romance arcs? Nope he doesn't. Planescape: Torment Arcanum of Steampunk and Magik Obscura Vampire: Bloodlines To name a few. An engaging story does not need active romantic pursuits for the protagonist to engage in. Romance does not make writing engaging or good just by being present. Good writing is what makes writing good. Ideally, if the romantic arcs were well written and did not take away resources from other aspects of the game, then, if they weren't forced down people's throats, one could make an argument that it is always better to have more options. But it is not better to play a game with crap on the side just for having crap on the side over one that doesn't have that. After all, most of us here enjoy a good steak, none of us though would ask for the cow to crap next to the plate. (yeah I know, terrible analogy. Just pretend it was said by Al Pacino or someone else who can get away with saying anything in a movie.)

Completly unable to beat this boss in Van Helsing 2. It is a huge spider that births tiny spiders. There are also half a dozen eggs that continuously birth tiny spiders. The rate these spawn is so high that they completly fill every inch of the ground, making it impossible to move and eventually taxing the system so much (as it tries to spawn basically an infinite number of spiders) that the game crawls to a slideshow of the player dying.

I have started a second playthrough of SR4 and am having a lot more fun than I feared I'd have. I am so not gathering all the clusters again though

No idea what either of those are, so probably nothing I ever cared about

Hmm, this, Child of Light, heck even Stick of Truth. UBI seems to be trying to create an alternative list of titles and set themselves appart from the other big publishers as well as trying to break free from the one trick pony thing they had going with seemingly being all about Assassin's Creed.

So the tl;dr version of point 2 is: Dear Watch-Dogs devs, please play Alpha Protocol.

Same here. Just that I called it Trash

Then she might have appeared in Wolf s01e03 first.

Which season of Walking Dead? I mean to finally finish Season1 soon.

That sounds just as bad as trying them to accept you as a customer when you move country frequently
