Yeah, get the full version. I didn't even think of it when buying my xbox, but actually, i've REALLY made use of demos, videos and esspesally the arcade. There's a ton of great oldschool games on there, all of which have multiplayer online options (if it had multiplayer in the first place). Many a time have I teamkilled Llyranor in Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 2, Turtles or Contra. Point is that while the price is higher, the hard drive has been pretty important to my 360 experiance, which has been the first console i've actually really enjoyed owning as more than just 'put in the game and play'. So maybe it would be a good idea to just get Arcade, then buy a hard drive later if you feel you need one. Also, get gold so that we can beat you up online.

Erm yeah, after the first time you have to manually tell them to do it using the scrolls.

Hey, good point. Not really a 'relationship' since it came down to some sexual tension followed by some awkwardness, then the main character driving off into the sunset. But it felt realistic, well done, subtle and belivable, based on the personalities of the characters. Sure, the game was short and not particually deep, but neither was the relationship, which made it all the better. I'd take stuff like that over DON'T LEAVE ME SQUALL! crap any day of the week that ends in y.

That pretty much is, when you compare to every other CRPG romance i've ever experianced. For example, Druid chick in BG2 started hitting me up 5 minutes after I laughed at her dead husbands corpse, while NWN2s druid chick actually responded positively to me being a lecherous idiot. In Fallout 2 I was able to marry either a total slag or a dude, though, admitedly, this was as much for humours sake as anything else. However, all too often it feels like the *standard* is to appeal to the lonely lonely 16 year old and the Annah crap was about as close as i've ever seen to actually interesting or realistic romantic interaction in a computer game, which is a medium that just seems incapable of dealing with sex in any kind of subtle or intelligent way. CRPGs arn't the only offenders by a long shot either, but they SHOULD be the only genre which actually does this crap well. To this end, i'd say that TNOs romantic interactions with Annah and Grace, both in terms of what's said and what's not said are very much 'somthing different' from what we normally see in VIDYA GAEMS LOL. Or can someone name me a video game romance or relationship (any, even if it doesn't invole the player character) that is handled with any kind of real subtly or maturity? EDIT: Lies, he walked into a door. Very hard and repeatedly.

Is this a thead where several people use a lot of words to try and argue both sides of the debate 'If there is a line on a graph that goes up, does that actually mean that x is effecting y, or is it just cooincidence?' Or am I completely wrong about that?

It was done in Poser, a psudo 3D program that allows you to pose and manipulate 3D models using forward kinematic handles and keyframes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_kinematic_animation
-
The previsualisation and direction is what's really impressive here. Much of the animation itself is either stolen or poor. But really he should learn to use a real 3D program and not Poser.

The point is that humans are playing a significant role in the changes and projected changes we're seeing in the earths enviroment. Picking straws over factual this and science fiction that is still pretty much missing the point, and, as such, the thrust of the film remains in tact. The fact that someone might not like the message or the person giving it has zero impact on this. The judge in question said as much.

I was going to throw in a comment about them just being Zerg ripoffs anyway, but i'd like to think I wouldn't stoop that low. haha, who am I kidding On the subject though, Jinx is right, having such a number of genuinely unique races does make for an interesting game. The problem is that not all the races are really that balanced (as the leaderboards show, when last I looked) and as such, the games dynamic can lose focus that it would retain with a smaller number of races. It's a huge improvement over vanilla DoW, cirtainly, and I congratulate Relic for reinventing the game several times over it's history to keep things fresh and fun. But while the unit balancing has been vastly improved, a number of the races could still do with a decent amount of tweaking, esspesally when it's so easy to split races into infantry/heavy infantry and the only real counter to the Necrons is rushing their butts off.

If you love Tyranids so much why don't you marry them!

Cake? -
Nice flamebait, but no dice.

Ground Control (and its mutant sequal) are two of my favorate RTSs, if only for breaking the mold while being a lot of fun. So yes, i'd agree with this statement.

Nick_i_am replied to Morgoth's topic in Computer and Console
Is episode 1 actually worth playing? I never bought it and Llyranor does nothing but complain about Alyx eating his ear, so now i'm kind of curious. -
If it was 'realism' over fun and balance then chaos would have access to Dreadnaughts and Land Raiders as it were. My guess is (based on Company of Heroes) that Dawn of War 2 is going to be a vastly different game, possibly incorporating the army sets that you guys are going on about in a similar way as divisions are used in CoH.

I'm not playing as the freaking dutch. THANKS FOR IRELAND YOU JERK!

Well duh, ranting to you guys and gaining internet respect is way more worthwhile than actually playing the games.
