D&D is stupid

And why is it called Fahrenheit on ATARi's official site when the US version seems to be called "Indigo Prophecy" ? ..and its not an RPG, its an adventure game

WIll you have a party? Or is it the usual "one man army" approach?

Well, since I never actually agreed to this(it was all jags idea) then I suppose thats what you get :D

Do you think that an A4 would be too large for a 17" ? Ive "cross-graded" from a 21" CRT to a 17" TFT monitor so maybe the A5 would be right for me too? My laptop will have a 15" screen so that should be even better.

Ive been using a Wacom Graphire A6 for nearly a year now and its a good tablet but as Im now studying game design on Uni I need a better tablet(for working in Painter IX mostly) Im going to get a Wacom Intuous of some kind and the choice is between the fullsize A4 or the smaller but cheaper A5. I want to be able to draw properly with the new tablet and the tiny A6 makes it impossible because one tiny line on the tablet becomes a huge scratch on the screen. I have the impression that the bigger the tablet, the closer tablet-to-creen ratio I would get and that would make it easier. But the others in my class says the A4 is too large and that the size of the tablet doesnt really make a differance anyway. Are they right?

I dont like exploration I suppose. Unless you find completely new areas with unique terrain and so on, its no fun at all. Rushing mile after mile through generic woods looking for rabndom treasure is a waste of time IMO and not what I would call enjoyable gaming. I dont know if you can call it exploring but D&D games like Bg or NWN always drive me nuts by expecting me to look through dozens upon dozens of chests/sacks/holes/barrels/whatever everywhere just so I can get the equipment I need to play the game. Cant they just throw in one big chest at the end of the level instead?

Hey, Jags told me all I had to do was to setup an auto-forward so all your emails would be sent directly to Reveilled and that was it. was that bad?

BioWare has a deal miwth MS so they wont be releasing anything for the PS3.

phat loot?

Some of it looks very nice while other things look potentially headache-inducing. But its nice to see a different approach to computer graphics

It would be great if you could get us some screenshots so we can see.

The "unified lighting and shadowing" part of the engine is capable of much more advanced light effects than Hl2, it will be very interesting to see what they did with the outdoors areas in Q4.. *imgination runs off*

You didnt even make out with any of them? That would have only have been proper conduct in this perticular social context. ...they didnt to that thing where they stick your fingers in your armpits real hard to "tickle" you? That just nasty when they do that, plain awful. Feels like having your lungs gouged out

I dont understand "explorers", I dont understand how seeing ruin_wall_6e or leaftree_4c for the millionth time can be exciting in any way?

Im going to write down on a piece of paper a prediction of how i think Oblivion will be, then when Ive played it I will look at the paper again to see if I was right... wether it will be true to its name or a good game

But as the discs change so does the format. Theyre not going to cram 25hours of DVD-resolution film onto a Bluray disc, theyre going to put 4hours of HDTV res film on them. So, we will still have 12-disc mega boxed sets even with Bluray

Hitler Was A Sensitive Man by A n a l C u n t Hitler was a sensitive man He went to art school when he was younger He wanted to be a painter Hitler was a vegetarian He was also a non smoker Hitler was a sensitive man He hired gay and handicapped officers He was concerned about overpopulation If hitler was alive today He'd listened to the cure, the smiths, and depeche mode Hitler was a sensitive man :D

I think the whole thing is idiotic and overly simplistic but MMORPG designers swear by it. Which is perhaps why MMOs are crap?

What does Killer refer to? The 4 (mmorpg)player types According to Richard Bartle; Achievers ( Im level 47 wohoo!) Explorers ( Did you know theres an easteregg in the..if you..and.. under the..) Socialisers ( So when is George back from his holiday with his grandpa? ) Killers ( Whoah! I got a critical hit 3 times when fighting those kobolds ) Take the Bartle test: http://www.andreasen.org/bartle/

If Bluray can store more than HDVDV then Bluray for teh win. period. economics are for pussies "

On the idea of making the game look more like concept art or art in general(rather than plygons and textures) I had the idea to make a different kind of render that would make 2D images instead of the usual 3D and using filters(or whatever youd want to call them) make it look like a pencil drawing or similar. Kind of like putting every single frame through a photoshop filter in realtime. I dont think this is a new idea but fun to try and go in the opposite direction of 'realistic' graphics. Id love to play a game that looked like an old silent film or an expressionist painting :D ..Im of course, completely ignoring the amount of computer power it would take to accomplish this

But you dont have employees who do concept art exclusively, right? That seems like a very big expense. Im studying Gamedesign with a specialisation in graphics at University and we're doing the basic course in concept art right now. But we're primarily 3D artists/modelers/animators

It appears that everyone has forgot about our game.

So, are we playing tonight or what? Ill be in the channel.
