^Eh, why not? I was going to make one and then spam it with useless crapola. But then I would have to give myself a stern talking to and I lost interest.

Ah, the time honored tradition of cutting off the nose to spite the face. Maybe we can import them to take over the US version.

So 15 straight posts on tv show tunes? Maybe set yourself up with a blog?

Ive never watch the BBC version from beginning to end, is he a tool? The US version has three buffoons but its entertaining enough.

Top Gear Host Jeremy Clarkson Is Dropped by the BBC.

Can anyone hook a brother up with 15k so I can get that sweet space carrier? Im going to look it over a little more but Im juuuuust about ready to buy it.

Wow, what a list! Did you buy in? Do you have any recommendation on what a good "jumping in" package selection may be? Im happy to see that ship can be earned in-game.

I think that's tough to gauge. One (wo)mans streamlining is another (wo)mans dumbing down. I personally don't like the busywork that occurs between combat or events like having to rest / heal / memorize / eat / etc... but others love that stuff.

Regarding Star Citizen, I would start out with this game package? And then you can purchase additional ships A la carte? Whoa doggy, those extra ships are crazy expensive!

Eh, no reason to pick old scabs but I will say my idea of an IE successor and Obs idea are wildly divergent.

Ah, you feel all bait-and-switched. I get that same feeling from PoE so I can commiserate.

You're having a different discussion than me. You're talking about whether you like those changes or not and whether they seem fun to you. I obviously can't prove you wrong on that. What I'm saying is that those aspects show a very clear divergence from how D&D CRPGs of the past played, so much so that the combat gameplay we see in that video doesn't really evoke games like Baldur's Gate or NWN. That much is quite obvious from that video - unless you think we need to read the manual and play the full game to be able to tell. From what I know of you personally, I think you don't really enjoy hardcore RPG mechanics and would prefer a relatively casual and actiony romp. I don't mean that as an insult - and I don't think you'll take it as one, given your self-professed preferences. I think you may well enjoy SCL. Which is my point. I don't have a bone to grind with SCL not being my cup of tea - that's not a problem. I do think it was disingenious of them to announce themselves as the return of good old D&D CRPGs. You said it "indisputably" doesn't have much to do with D&D. I ask why, you say "see above". I ask if the devs said anything official and you evoke a few minute video and say you don't need to see the rules. Oooookaaaay. Good talk. And yes, I like my games to not have built in suck mechanics.

Im really excited to see Mulder and Scully back.

Boeing's Force Field Could Save Soldiers From Brain Injuries.

Fox to revive The X-Files as 6-episode "limited series" filming this summer.

I really dislike the combat so Ill be playing on Easy. I hope the story and stronghold will carry the game for me.

Youre referring to post 240? Nothing official by the developer though, right? Regarding point 1, thank god that's gone. Regarding point 2, with as "confused" as THAC0 makes newer players, this is probably a step in the right direction. PoE started out the same way, no missing. I haven't seen anything on resting / healing and death / resurrection but hopefully there isn't any moronic limiters to those either.

Firing squad gets final OK. So how does it work?

Oh, have they gotten around to clarifying the ruleset? Link?

I cant wait for this to release. I don't know jack about 5E so I cant pretend like they are harshing my buzz but I haven't liked anything since 2E anyway so it will be hard for them to screw this up for me. They are getting rid of all the annoying "pain mechanics" that makes you guys light up with glee but its like they are making the game for me. Anyone know whats up with Healing after battles / death? Auto-heal if everyone survives the fight?

Tru dat. A drone with high res camera would work better and cost less. Power to the drones!!

Oy! If they put roundabouts in the US there would be mass carnage on the roads.

Max Wood. Glorious.

Hehe, everything that's a minus for you guys is a plus for me. I don't hang on their forum so perhaps Im missing some damning evidence but everything I see, I like (and the camera is sweet). Cant wait to roll a Paladin and smite the hell out of some eeeeeevil. *rubs hands with glee* Maybe I just like aRPG better than RPG? I have no interest in the toolset. Ill never use it once.
