But that's hardly something you should make broad generalizations over.. The majority of my male friends and acquaintances play PC games and the the rest play consoles. I think I know maybe 10-20 guys that don't own either. So based on my observations the marked must be absolutely booming I'm still wating for the reply "Almost no one I know in real life has sex anymore"

Character creator in CO gives a lot more options than the CoH one did. Both game could be called ugly. Most MMOs are. GW2 is pretty, but the options are limited and the writing so corny its not even funny anymore.

It's a purple elf in randomly thrown together power armour Then I remembered that purple elves aren't all that strange since Warcraft 3... But speaking of purple: Circus: My greatest failure in teh character creator. The tuxedo was optimized for the male model. And while it was unlocked for use on female characters, it clipped badly unless you made your character appear like a pre-teen or a silicon bimbo. The pre-teen felt more wrong, so I had to choose bimbo even though the character was supposed to be all athletic and stuff. battle of the jesters: And BattleBunny, who took a wrong turn at Albuquerque posing after a fight: putting his trust in financial institutions

Anyways.... I warned in another thread that it would be comming. Champions Online screenshots (may be a few and may be more than one post) My first character: Runner up for ugliest, worst dressed, wierdest character with the biggest shoes, Little Helper: Supporting quality products: filling in for Santa: hanging out with friends at the carnival: in disguise: Amunet, healer extraordinair and Power Pigeon:

I remember playing the beta and thinking "God this is boring. Am I going to get paid to play this?"

wait, Starcraft 2 is turn-based now? I take it that with enough lag it can give that impression

Yeah, I can respect that. I couldn't really care less about superheroes myself either. I'm just there for the costume creator When I remember I'll put up some screenshots of my characters in the proper thread.

It's free, so...

I see the changing taste thing. Of course we change. But for me personally I think that while my tastes have changed, Between Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm they probably haven't changed all that much. Then again, I never thought that the original Starcraft had any worthwhile story to begin with

The Diablo clone I spend the most time on, far more than on Diablo itself was Sacred. That was nearly matched by my time spend in Sacred 2, where work tore me away for a while and I had a hard time to get back in. I enjoyed Torchlight and Torchlight 2. Enough to make a second character in Torchlight 2, something I never could do in Diablo. So to each their own I quite liked Wings of Liberty as I saw it more as world building for something to be done with the franchise in the future and less as a story to care about. HoS, even though I went in prepared to liek it, having as said liked WoL, I thing was a pile of... I doubt I'll even bother with the 'toss after that.

I doubt the game "bombed" but at the same time those impressive numbers they are showing don't really tell us anything. Just throwing one "statistic" at people, without giving the whole set of data is useless. All we know now is that over fourteen million battlenet accounts have had a copy of D3 tied to them. Every number they show other than that comes without context - no idea how the whole population is spread among the quarters, no outliers etc. Hell, Steam achievements show more than that At least there you can tell exactly how far how many customers progressed in a game. And then you get 90% getting through the tutorial, 80% gettign through chapter 1and only 60% making it half way through any given game (my numbers totaly made up), while games with launchers have inflated "time spend" counters as what is counted is how long the launcher has been on, which people keep running to patch or maybe forget to turn off after playing. So, good for them (blizzard) with the sales.To the rest of their posing: *shrug*

I'll ask around if you want (and if I remember). Though if you truly want to not look like anyone around you, your only real option is Champions Online (now that City of Heroes went the way of the dodo).

My condolences as well. You know, for what its worth, we'll be here, our silly selves, trying to cheer you up.

That's half the idea of the book, that things don't really become clear until they do. *shrug* Not much of a Gaiman fan myself. Found Anansi Boys boring, American Gods superficial and Neverwhere, while I tried to like it (and actually did like the TV show) just had something that put me off.

This thread is seriously lacking in the Simon and Garfunkel department.

I don't like them either. For no particular reason other than not liking them

Oooh, it never even occured to me. And of course now I have 80s songs stuck in my head... again. . Then again, I can think of far worse things to have stuck in one's head than OMD.

1282 was cooler. Watermarks on paper were invented then.

Bob planted an apple tree?

Saw a dream in which Alanshu tried to hire me as a ghostbuster to clear his girlfriend's haunted old mansion. I spend too much time on this forum...

So when do we get installment 3? (And when will the others comment on this thread to encourage the continuation?)

Apparently so.

Sounds a lot like the books. There Artyom doesn't get to do anything but follow other people around either. That man never has to make a single decission...

Yes, that seems to be a hellbug monarch. The primary weak spot is its belly. Though the tail, under the proper circumstances can reveal weak spots as well.

Interesting read.Thanks.
