Gorgon

Nobody watched Babylon 5. Get over it already.

I meant GW2

Steampunk/anime. I dunno. Looks very low poly, I know that's the order of the day for an MMO, but still I would have liked to have seen more.

So, off by about half. Still in the ballpark though.

Looking to hear from people who have at least a few hours in. On the fence at the moment.

I learned today that the total ammount of gold mined, ever, is less than the m^3 of two olympic swimming pools. That's a lot of gold, and not that much ether.

I'm more concerned that it kinda looks like that horrible clone wars animated thing, cartoony dimentions etc. Bit picky like that.

Is there one where he sits idly by and lets the population of Wasaw get slaugthered.

I don't know if there is anything to get, other than the fact that before you can afford potions or cook pies you survive on slices of cheese, wine and saussages... in combat. It unlocks on steam in four days.

ahh the joys of eating 42 saussages in active combat, with an animation for each.

He does a good job of being really unlikable though, you want to watch him get his comeuppance.

They dwelled a little too long on the king doing his SM thing with the hookers. It got pervy and uncomfortable to watch.

I don't know that connectivity is inherently a democratizing force or 'bringing us together' in the idalistic sense. I hope along with everyone else that technology is going to be our great savior, but honestly history suggest we are more likely to repeat our mistakes in perpetuity.

Good stealth mechanics would be a redeeming quality. I don't mind a PC title that pushes the development of graphics cards. Most games can't lay that claim, and it's been too long since we had one. The mechanics aren't very good though. It's mostly pretty, which is not enough.

Why are we comparing with an RPG again.

I don't know if having 4 abilities constitute 4 different playstyles. 'Real' stealth means being able to sneak up on someone using the environment, Crysis stealth is just cancelling the AI for a small ammount of time.

Bringing people together under state control and censorship one could argue, in the case of China.

The prospect of going to war over fishing grounds and tiny islands just seems so ridiculous. Taiwan seems to have charmed their way out of immediate danger.

I wasn't aware that Crysis had a spirit. It's just shooting things in the jungle interspaced with 3 seconds of stealth.

Late of the 13th legion. Ron Pealman is the badguy. Like the good old kung fu movies it's built like a musical, but instead of bursting out in song they kick asses. It's all kinds of awesome.

The one that made a box appear (the old max res) around all spell effects. But it did make it possible to see a lot more of the map.

Bustrip, completely unmemorable stretches of autobahn and crappy rest stops. Except for the Alps, which really are quite beautiful. I started longing for that boredom once we hit Italy and there were little shrines to traffic accident victims every mile.

heh

Nothing ever is, it's the same boring **** all over, and then you die.
