NPC Freewill!
Looks like someone was playing (Advanced) Fighting In Tunnels, got a little turned around in the dark, couldn't get out, or remember who made the game. I can appreciate 'more power' in any situation, however, if said in Jeremy Clarkson's voice ... pppppooooooowwwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

The Case for Romance.
ManifestedISO replied to NanoPaladin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)RIP ... pfft, more like romance in peace. You just spent an hour making a post that does nothing except compel the good guys to put flower stems into the barrels of your hate guns.

What are you playing now
It's this that stops me from buying. Free-movement seems to be getting taxed more in new titles. The sticky and weird feeling I got "controlling" the pirate in AC IV kept me from continuing in that game, too.

ManifestedISO replied to NanoPaladin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Could we derail into making the case for properly indented paragraphs being appropriate or not.

What you did today
Whaddya mean, interesting, what did you get, some slutty brunettes, new electronics, sausages, what?

What makes Good Characters?
Evidently, lies, deceit, and gossip add gritty realism to game characters, and can now be coded. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/03/game-characters-are-better-when-they-gossip-and-lie/ Edit for relevant quote:

What you did today
Yeah, man, good luck. So precious are the little ones. God I can't even take care of myself, let alone a helpless, miniature human.

Where is everyone from
Oddly enough, I dream even more of living in San Diego... The fact that I'm frozen to the pavement, currently, has a way of turning dream into obsession. I feel your pain, as I grew up in UT, 5000' up in the mountains where single digit temps happen at least once per year. And then six months later it's 100F. I have way more snow miles under my belt, than miles under palm trees. Today's monster rain storm dumped so much water at once, that I started hydroplaning at speed on the freeway, which feels exactly like icy roads.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
You did, really? I can't vouch for Navy pukes drinking and singing, or wearing white. Where else did you go, was it in uniform. I remember once, or twice, we had a servicemen swap back in the early 90's with, I think England. They were definitely Brits, they had mottled green and brown utilities and wore berets. Mostly what I see flying overhead here, are F/A-18 Hornets (Blue Angels, annually, too). A lot of whirly birds at the coast, since I actually live a stone's throw from Pendleton and the Marines. Random video game news ... there is no real news until GDC next month.

Why won'd developers support laptop video cards?
A cheaply-made German laptop ... those words together don't sound right. Not saying it isn't impossible, just a little implausible, according to the stereotype I have built in my mind. That much RAM and a blu-ray player from three years ago for only 1250 squiggly 'E' moneys seems like a good deal.

Oh man, I used to dream of meeting mecca in Lake Geneva for GenCon, those ads in Dragon magazine called my d20 soul like mad. But mid-teen nerds don't get to go to mecca, dammit.

Three weeks to go, people.

What you did today
It's about to rain balls, here, for 48 hours. When I was a little mormon kid, I was taught the holy ghost is in charge of the weather. Harold Ramis, if you're listening, bust that ghost! Before we drown!

The Funny Things Thread.
This is really weird, I just made a mess of a German swear word in a PoE thread, and now this test gave me Germany as my country. Kinda scarily accurate: What the hell is Eurovision, anyway, I had to pick two girls kissing, because of course.

The Case for Romance.
ManifestedISO replied to NanoPaladin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Welp, even I'm kinda tired of it. The only Case for Romance I want to pursue is with Green Shirt Girl. Just throwin' that out there. Totally not a creeper.

Obsidian Entertainment is as safe as houses in Irvine!
Stayed in Salinas one time, for a motorcycle grand prix race at Laguna Seca. I specifically remember the pungent spice factory somewhere nearby, and the clerk at a convenience store saying, "you will not be for looking at pronography, your eyes will melt." I wasn't looking anyway, thank god. We rode through Gilroy to get there, from the north. and then on the way home, which was UT at the time, went through Yosemite at night. It was dark, but fun.

Uganda Criminalizes Homosexuality
No worries, mate, none of us in the rational audience think you are disingenuous or grasping at anything but to put a lamplight on this unconscionable situation.

Thief 4
I stand corrected, that was an equally "accurate" review. Hmm. "I proscribe prescribed rope arrowing." Haha!

Thief 4
Just read the PC Gamer review, whew, that guy can scribe like a champion, nevermind the subject. If there was such a thing as an "accurate" review, this is it. 79 score, btw.

Update #73: Narrative Design: A Day in the Life, Companion Goals, and the Undead
Fenster means "window" in German. So, Fenstermakers, collectively, means those horrible, inhuman creatures who made the Windows operating system... KOS, I say. Ah, sehr gut. The weird thing is, I watched Die Hard last night, and Hans Gruber says ... "Scheiss dem fenster." Shoot the glass. I should have known.
