And riddled with project overruns, coming out years after the planned release. The single player campaign was probably really just slapped together and released without much thought or quality control - we were supposed to be able to import our Baldur's Gate characters after all. Oh how that could have gone. Instead we got ToB and the NWN OC. Of course Volo is right when he says NWN was well worth the money for the user made content, one could potentially play for years without getting bored.

Dave Gaider made Ascension on his own after ToB shipped. So yeah, I'd consider it semi-canon.

I may be remembering this wrong, but I think there was a series or a pilot out there in which the Greek Pantheon was transposed into modern day New York making their way among mortals. Aphrodite was played as a drag queen who worked phone sex lines. Well... not a sitcom but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcaHutZQiIA

Not to mention all that work for The Motion Picture of all things.

Yes, Imoen was supposed to die in Spellhold - it's also the reason she has absolutely no party interactions outside of Irenicus' dungeon. There was no time left to fiddle some in. There was another, more practical reason for her survival. Having Imoen die at Spellhold and Yoshimo "leave" the party could potentially render your party without a thief for a large stretch of the game. At least this way if you choose Yoshimo to accompany you to Spellhold the party has the option of getting a thief in return, even if it is just a dual classed one (her stats are good enough for all necessary thievery anyway, unlike Nalia's). Sure no one really needs a thief in any of the Infinity Engine games but they have their uses, and a lot of players complained about the lack of decent thief NPCs in the game, with the only single-class one only available for a while (people for some reason apparently like single class thieves and clerics, whatever for).

Scum and Villainy used to be a very fun raid on nightmare. I don't know if the instance made it through all the upscaling and expansions intact though. It's been well over two years now that I last played SW:TOR.

SC was upgraded to Lumberyard (Amazon's version of the CryEngine) last year with version 2.6. So yeah... uhm... =)

I haven't even seen a single episode of Dawson's Creek (nor did I know when it originally aired until now). Blame the meme maker for not using period appropriate pieces.

Indeed. One for the real internet oldies.

Nah, that's fine. The amount of times I actually get the number down wrong is close to zero, maybe once in a year. I don't really check the number since it's muscle memory typing on the numbers block, 's just that every now and then my sausage fingers fiddle the wrong key. I was just surprised to get a silly useless error message like that from, well, Steam. Which just goes to illustrate the point made here how Valve is resting a bit too much on their laurels.

Pefectly serious, yes. Yes, obviously. Yes, they do. Have been doing ever since I went online shopping. Which was uhm... '98 or some such. edit: So, I just tried, GOG does so immediately, actually, without even having to submit the form.

So I went and bought a game on Steam. Entered my payment details, tried to finish the transaction, gives me a nondescript error message about the transaction not being updated properly and I should try it again later. Except I had my credit card number down wrong, so no amount of waiting would have helped, nor did the transaction not work due to a faulty update or whatever the hell that was supposed to mean. (Not to mention that Steam's payment details form has the usability and look & feel of a pre 2k Geocities web page)

I also enjoyed MoO 3 but doing so took some serious patience and the willingness to understand mechanics that - while sensible - weren't at all intuitive, or in other words, finding an answer to the question of MoO 3: "Why does the AI keep building troop ships?" was pretty tough. The manual was useless in describing the interactions between the statistics, just like the in-game help. I can also understand why people weren't satisfied with the shift in gameplay from micromanaging a handful of planets to macromanaging an empire of hundreds of planets. It no longer was "Master of Orion" but simply a 4X game set in the Master of Orion universe. Kind of like JJ Abram's Nu-Trek is Star Trek in name only. Nice action movies, just no Trek. But eh, I digress. PoR 2 never killed my operating system, I think I even got a patched version that no longer had the installer from death on the discs. The gameplay on its own was terrible enough. Almost finished it though. It's still on my list of games I want to complete at some point. Just for the sheer inanity of it all. :D

That leaves no viable source of news because every news source in the history of ever at some point lied.

Your honor, I rest my case. No need for even a closing statement here.

So what horrible classics have you seen on GOG? Except Master of Orion 3 maybe, but that's arguably neither a classic nor truly horrible in the way a Ruins of Myth Drannor is. *shrug*

Binged Bojack Horseman season 4. Not as strong as season 3 was but it picked up momentum in the second half of the season. Still wish this would be animated better but eh, it's not like it's going to change.

http://imgur.com/n8Moni6 Have fun with the arrangement. You might need to download the picture or copy/paste it into paint or whatever you use, depending on your screen's resolution. As far as (KKKodexian) internet tripe goes this is pretty mild, although some of the posts are clearly written under the influence. ...and with that, let's leave it out of this thread, lest it gets locked. Might be better to split off the part and move it to WOT, but it's not like rat's bums are given and all that. *shrug*

Y'all should try Dog Days (Hundstage), assuming you can get it somewhere and don't mind subtitles. Funerals are generally more fun.

Hmmmm. Pop-Metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy6MpsDPKts

It's photon torpedo in Star Trek and proton torpedo in Star Wars.

I watched season 3 and it was pretty good. I'd say the show picked up some major momentum at the end of season 1 and never really stopped, but then I also really loved the way it unapologetically used every sci-fi cliché it could find. It wasn't high brow but fun, solid and fast paced entertainment on a tight budget (which really showed in the sets, much like it did in Andromeda back in the early 00s). What really made it work, in the end, was the cast interaction, especially with Zoie Palmer - and the fact that the payoffs started for all the groundwork laid in the early episodes. The cliffhanger was... eh, never mind. It's a bit like if Stargate SG-1 had stopped after season 9's ending. With something rather similar happening.

I just can't see them two hitting it off. Qis and Bruce on the other hand was a romantic love story just starting to blossom before she went away...

And Qis and luzi, then we could finally find a proper match for Bruce.
