It's your average hide behind cover shooter, not terrible.

The funny things thread Part 2
A nuclear submarine ICBM platform designed to be capable of extended submersion is enormous, I'd pay to go on a cruise on one.

Dragon Age 2
It's the old analogue gap, there is always a way to defeat DRM.

Dragon Age 2
Didn't they try to implement native support for DRM file types in HDD file systems. Didn't work, and only would have if all other hard drive types magically disappeared.

Is... *nothing* sacred?
Actually I don't have a problem with a sequel. It's going to be hard to top the original, but get somebody good and who knows. Better this than releasing another 'final, no this time we really actually mean it, cut' version.

What are you playing now?
I am not a skipper. Garrus is not a mighty sailing man. Wrex isn't a millionaire, nor Tali his wife. Liara is not a movie star. Joker has never taught in academia. You, Ashley, are not frickin' Mary Ann. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE How do you get to the hot lezzo action bits. I play as a female and every single conversation and cut-scene with Miranda seems to designed with the object of finding new angles to show off her arse. Maybe she doesn't swing that way. I definitely do not want to see Garrus naked but he's the only one one who has shown interest so far.

now topping my list
Obviously a mental case.

Yahtzee reviews
Still, it's a bit like a music reviewer who doesn't stick around for the whole show. I mean, I'd take his job if it meant I had to play the whole game. The result would be long and not very funny, but... well. I remember a music reviewer who got his review published only to find out later that the show had been canceled, and lets face it, getting paid to go to concerts, it's a dream job no matter who you ask.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
The biggest lesson from Risen would be to try harder with the voice acting and characterizations. At least put a handful of interesting people in there. Bethesda Syndrome

Yahtzee reviews
He was too nice to that game, and he went on about the clunky magic and bows and stupid inventory because he couldn't be bothered to play it all the way to the end. I know the feeling, neither could I, but I wasn't getting paid to. Slacker.

Dragon Age 2
Man this game is going to suck

What you did today
I'm all for expression and tattoos with personal meaning, I just don't think I'll ever be able to find one I won't get tired of eventually. Most people have a patchwork of random ones, and there is always an ugly one they got while on an epic bender.

What are you playing now?
I wish there was a mod to remove all the class restrictions. I think I migth have more fun comming up with a class of my own. As I understand there are no mods at all because the file system hasn't been cracked. I gave ME1 a go on the strength of #2 and, well, the weapons sound horrible, really grating in your ears, and everything is slightly uglier, even accounting for the time of release. I guess there is really something to be said for polish over size.

Desert Island Discs
And in a year or two you would grow irrevocably tired of all seven and slowly come to hate them.

That's because the combat AI cheats, the better you play the more enemies it sends at you. Try to be really bad and it will get easier.

FO: NV (DLC)
Is it just me or does your display sometimes retain a violet tint after playing FO. Could be the colour receptors in my eyes getting saturated.

Man Crushes
Hanibal beat Roma time and again with nothing but a rag tag band of random mercenaries. Imagine what he could have done with a real army.
-
FO: NV (DLC)
I gave up on Dead Money, the CTDs are back in full effect. Same engine problem as F03. I guess I was lucky in the order in that it didn't affect me very much in the beginning. Maybe my installation is bad, but it's not exactly like I can just re install, I would have too download everything again. Too much of a hassle.

STEAM!
I got Mass Effect 1, couldn't get into it. Too spoiled by ME2. I can see what people mean when they say it's been 'dumbed down', the Areas are bigger in ME1, you can spend points that compliment the paragon/renegade scores, there are more people to talk to etc. Still, planet exploration is worse, and the sound mixing for the weapons is bad, so are most of the animations. At least ME2 is a solid shooter, ME1 depends on the plot, which was always pretty uninteresting.

STEAM!
I wouldn't want to replay either episodes. It's a good game, don't know where the worship comes from, it's not fantastic.
-
What you did today
You need new ones after the old ones collapse. I got a bed and a couple of shelf thingies from Ikea once, they both came apart, don't have em anymore. I might not have assembled them exactly according to plan, it's too tempting to simply get going instead of looking at the diagrams first.

Shooooooogun!
Swedes are the only ones who actually remember stormagtstiden, just saying.

FO: NV (DLC)
It's a 7 gig game update, the patch comes first however. Once both are done you will be able to see dead money in the data files box.

DLC and playthrough permutations
I much prefer games tailored for ONE playthrogh where you get to experience most of what they game have to offer. I just finished Mass Effect 2 and was disappointed in the number of limitations they put in your way. A whole light side / dark side dichotomy going on with no option for special dialogue responses unless you were either a consistent psychopath or a tree hugger. Very limited skill tree, every power that was actually different had to belong to another class. etc.
-
Shooooooogun!
All of that talk about duty and ritual suicide, it betrays a much more practical and mercenary reality. Why else would the Shogun demand that your children, your household, live in the imperial city if not to make sure the local Daimyo stayed in line. It's largely myth and wishful thinking, like the chivalrous ideals of knighthood.
