Outcast? The really old Infrogrames game where the player-character runs around in his orange jumpsuit and headset? I have that one somewhere. I remember liking it for about 10 hours, but then I stopped playing. Can't remember why. Ha ha! The orange jumpsuit, that's the one! I've had trouble finishing in the past too, it's surprisingly dense and I can't tell one Talan from another. Still looks great though!

Managed to get Outcast running! Some sound problems which ain't good since the musics so great but it seems cool beans now.

Nope. I read up, they've patched it. Took they're sweet time doing so though.

You've got the accent down though. Frankly, I think you're a little overqualified.

I'm tempted to buy but I hear tell there's a corrupted save bug which renders the game unbeatable. Anyone else heard this?

Lost Odyssey, Japan's answer to PS:T. Not half bad.

Has anyone mentioned Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader yet? ... I kid, I kid!

Omikron (and Outcast) had ace soundtracks too and I'm not just talking about the Bowie. This is the stuff of childhood memories.

I talk about it a lot, I know, but Anachronox. Sly's a heel, for sure, but his back story and how it connects to Fatima, Sera and Detta is pretty gut wrenching.

Anachronox still. Encountered a possible game ending bug while following Lucko Coldwolf. I must be a masochist to love this game as much as I do.

Oh dear. My ME squad are all in Phoenix Armor. It's the best we got, but we look the biggest dufus' this side of the galaxy.

So wait, Liara's back? I'd heard Psycho Mantis Tali made the cut but this is the first I've heard about Liara.

No sign. It's been two days already so we're all pretty worried now. She's the most good natured and affectionate cat I've ever known but she's also a lunkhead and I dread to think what could have happened to her. That's encouraging though, Krezack. She might turn up yet.

Hunting Red Bipidri in Anachronox! Just Spectre-ized my Shepard also. Lost my ME end save a whole 360 ago so I've started fresh. I'd roleplay a hardassed jerkface but I can never be anything but good in these games.

Whoa now! Cool your boots, Nostradamus. Choice still matters, just ready a Shepard of your own making if you don't want canon.

Back from the dentist! And my cat is missing. Kinda worried actually, hopefully she'll turn up today.

Man. And I was sure this game was gonna be guff. Shows what I know.

Radiohead - These Are My Twisted Words It's ACE. Sounds a lot like Third era Portishead actually.

Lay eggs upstream? Fox News would love that.

She? Thane's a fish dude, isn't ...he? He's voiced by a dude at least. And I mean, they've space lizards already. Throw the fishman a bone, BioWare!

Tron 2.0: I never hear anyone talk about this game. It's Monolith so you know it's good, perhaps the best movie to game crossover I've played even. They do great things with the mythos and there are even some basic RPG elements thrown in for good measure.

Guys, is the Tex Murphy series worth a damn?

Tales of Vesperia. Not a huge a fan of JRPGs ...in fact my favourite JRPG isn't even Japanese, but Vesperia is a real gem. The best I've played in a very long time. In a genre full of sullen, obnoxious and/or prepubescent protangonists, Yuri is a real accomplishment. He's genuinely likeable. They all are. And the developers even include something akin to BG2s party banter, which really adds a lot of character. Great fun.
