I would have, except that I felt ill and went to bed rather than play my normal evening jaunt of vidya games. Tonight, tonight.

hahahah, CoD4 MP = freaking awsome.

COD4 just arrived, can play tomorrow.

Yeah, why waste your vote on a third party candidate that you actually like? It's madness.

We just want to be like you

haha, someone's projecting.

Just like a vampire! That's awsome!

You're only shooting him down because you want him to shoot you down. If you know what I mean.

CoD4 ordered, be here in 2-3 days apparently.

As long as you voted against him you can sleep at night.

Funny though, that you'd only comment when I pointed it out. Food for thought, food for thought.

Boys cartoons from the 80s were camp as crap, but at least they weren't the anime-inspired poop that kids get today.

All the above shows are awsome (comedy snob), except for the IT crowd, which I just never really found funny. Those guys havn't *really* done anything great since Father Ted.

hahahaha, so many reasons.

Wait, isn't New York to Jews what San Fran is to gays?

Too subtle for him dude.

well, yeah, even goths know that goths suck. I was going to say 'even the dumb and disillusioned ones' but that's redundant.

5 million smokers can't be wrong!

haha, I was going to make that post, then realised I couldn't be bothered.

.....I share your pain.

a) That's a given, but it was never forced upon you (not to say I didn't click on every NPC and read everything). I found the part where Morte gets kidnapped to be pretty lame because of it's 'forced' nature. b) I said a waste of the players time, not wasteful. That is to say, good quality, interesting to read diolouge makes up for it's complete lack of relevence to whatever is going on in the game. Most of it was in some way contextual to the world at hand, esspessaly to someone like me who knew nothing about the Planescape setting (and little about the DnD world). Compared to the completely pointless and forgettable diolouge you'd get from random NPCs in KotoR (and probably Mass Effect, though I havn't played it). For example, the Wardrobe wizard would have been fun to talk to even if he wasn't involved in that quest.

a) there was very little diolouge in PST that you HAD to read b) very little of the diolouge was a waste of the players time I would imagine that it's not simply a case of him not liking 'too many words' but too many 'what's the freaking point of this' words. It's an art that movies perfected a long time ago given the constraints of time and audience interest. I am however, only talking about diolouge which the player HAS to (or is expected to) engage with, from plot points or party members. Having a large extended world of people to chat with is, of course, a good thing. EDIT: though he didn't seem to actually like PST either, hahahahahahahaha.

Agreed, though with any luck they won't even try to 'provide more context' (which has made roflcakes out of more than one revived oldschool game). Likewise, the gameplay might simply not be able to make the transition to modern times in any way that makes it above average in a crouded market that has long since forgotten about the duke. I guess that the reason people are excited is that, far from being a Doom knockoff (not that you actually suggested that), the game was pretty groundbreaking in terms of the mechanics it introduced. Destructable terrain, integrated melee, mouse-aim, usable tools (such as the medikit or jetpack) and coop multiplayer all made it stand out from the croud. My point is that it's not completely irrational nostalga (save for the sadacts who have been obsessing about it since launch).

You're right, Ash was awsome, but if your real problem with Duke Nukem is with the setting then that runs outside of the quality of the actual games or the laughable 'lets keep our stocks afloat' vaporware of DNF.

Man, someone's bitter and twisted.
