Unwinnable Main Questline?
To be fair though: Sean Bean getting killed has become kind of a staple. I want a completly unpredictable ending where everyone dies except for Sean Bean!

It was originally a pre-order bonus, that could be played a couple of weeks before release while waiting for the core game. They later released it as a DLC "Dead Legions" or something like that, I think. It adds quite a bit to the game because it is a prelude to what happens, explaining quite a bit of what is going on and fleshing out a couple of npcs that otherwise may have you go "Huh?" (though it probably had a lot of people go "Huh?" when they started up the prologue and where playing romans with no mention of Camelot or anything arthurian ) The real problem? It is probably a better story than the main campaign and set up better. You actually go through a character creation process with multiple choice scenarios that define your stats, class and starting troops.

They simplified KA2 a bit too much. Flying enemies were my favourid as I had one set of archers specialized in shooting flyers... Redsleeves or what are they called? Are you playing just the campaign or also the dead legion prologue?

Still playing Age of Wonders. This playthrough is taking me ages. Probably something to do with me keeping a diary of events

I like to irritate grammar naztis But nah...I just type real fast so sometimes a typo slips trough. It was driving me crazy "I know the actual joke is that Noris thought he was wrong, but is that a typo or is that meant to be a secret joke to throw people off track? Am I overthinking this? Did I fall for it and am I completly off track now?"

Anecdote from personal life: I failed my BA at my first uni with the explanation that "Your work is really good. It is post graduate level really but you understand that this is a graduate degree and for this you have to provide graduate level work." In the same week the majority of post-grads failed their two year master with the explanation by the course director that: "I know this is what Robert* asked you to do, but he is dead isn't he?" *the main professor of their course had unexpectedly died shortly before the final presentation. The course director who took over after his death had different views on Architecture... I got my diploma at a different uni in a different country. I did ok. Could have done better had I applied myself more, but by then I was rather disillusioned with the whole proccess. From my experience, complaints and statements don't actually do anything. If professors pull these stunts its usually because they can get away with it. But it's always good to do something. If there is a proper procedure, do it. On one hand you never know, on the other you'll not feel as if you had just let them do whatever they wanted.

Only game I can remember getting this year without having to think really really hard is Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. For me this had the added magic of being a kickstarter I had backed

You put a LOT of effort into it, so it's natural to be dissappointed when your work doesn't get the deserved recognition. Nobody will care about the grade once you get your first job though. And professors are just human beings. That means they are petty, vindictive sods like everybody else. And quite a few of them are only lording it over students because university was the only place that would accept them.

I keep meaning to ask, is the typo in your signature intentional?

STEAM!
I got Fallen Enchantress. Seems like a good game, but haven't had time to do more than have a glance at it. Also got Walking Dead now that all episodes are out. Can't remember if I got anything else. Mostly wasn't interested in anything.

This forum has been amazingly spam free. A couple of weeks ago there was an enormous spam bot attack all over the net. This forum seemed to have been unscathed.

*looks at BruceVC's location* I met some teachers once at a conference, from the poor part of Soweto. Admirable job they do.

The funny things thread
Thank God TV has evolved then. Twilight may be terrible, but if glorifying gun toting mountains of muscl is the alternative, sign me up for Team Edward. If/when I have kids, I hope they will appreciate Alan Shore more than Rambo (once old enough to watch either). And if it has to be something with guns and saving people, then DiCaprio as Danny Archer is still prefered to Stalone's John Rambo.

Not really. Sub-standard curricula educational systems that only prepare for set standardised tests teachers who work too many hours in classes with too many students for them to be able to actually pay attention to them facilities in various states of disrepair parents who need to work two jobs because with one 8 hour shift a day the below minimum wage income isn't enough to raise a kid (as if minimum wage was) Then we have all those countries that ask for specialists with 5 year experience for every other job, but people can become teachers without any prior training whatsoever. On the lines of "Couldn't cope it in the industry? Don't worry, go stand in a classroom." Could go on. And on. Won't though

Did you play Overlord 2? All my friends who don't own a controller quit at the spot. So did I. Circling those spider riding minions up that wall drove me nuts. I ehar though its managable with a 'troller.

Jedi didn't capture my attention early on. I loved the first chapter of the smuggler arc and am loving Imperial Agent. Though I only have gotten to the part you get your ship. The smuggler arc seriously disappointed me later on by not being able to make me care about the villain. Act 3 picked back up, but it just wasn't the same anymore. Now I am a bit worried about the Agent arc Worst part about any story that isnt female smuggler? They aren't voiced by Kathy Soucie.

I guess for a new keyboard setup you'd have to overcome muscle memory while with a controller you'd have to create new muscle memory. In one instance the body wants to instinctively do something else, in the other the body is clueles as to what to do.
