FO: NV (DLC)
Not having the option of choosing what version you want to run for your steam software, that's really not a particularly good idea. They should fix that. Quite often an update will screw something up while fixing something else, and there is the whole mod thing to consider. Anyway I played through Dead Money, not a single CTD this time, I guess all the stars aligned or something. After my head exploded the millionth time the whole slave colar/invisible death zones thing did start to feel very contrived. Also I found it rather interesting that my companion Overall the feel was right though, I dunno if it was worth 10E, but I never felt disappointed in the quality.

Is... *nothing* sacred?
Temple of Doom is one of my favorites. The Indian pantheon is really cool.

Assassin's Creed 1 & Uncharted 1
AsCreed 1 is garbage. AsCreed 2 is pretty decent, then it gets repetitive and irreversibly boring around the half way mark. Let me spoil the ending, because it really is *something* Your char goes 'the ****', and that's it, credit roll.

Diplomacy fail
Couple of years ago. didn't they foil an attempt to take down the government. Am I remembering this wrong ?. This would be in reverse, the winds of change seem to be blowing in the middle east to use the hippie terminology, this is good thing, and an opportunity, no ?

Diplomacy fail
Interventionism works really great if it's a fight you can win with a short commitment. Compare Congo to say, Afghanistan. Maybe this is one of those times. Too bad there are no surplus resources for that kind of stunt.

Diplomacy fail
The rebels have a few seasoned officers but the rest are just regular people with maybe a day's worth of training. If special forces can't infiltrate that then what good are they.

What are you playing now?
Ok so what the hell is BFBC2. First part must be 'Battlefield'. Walsh was right, all these constant abbreviations are a pain in the ass.

Dragon Age 2
They should have spent more money on promotion instead of showing people what a load of crap they are actually selling.
-
Dragon Age 2
Me as well, so that is out for DA2 ?

Is... *nothing* sacred?
Yes, he's got just enough range of emotion to play a robot. If we are assuming Dekkard is/was one that is.

STEAM!
Vegas/Vegas 2 isn't coop at all, at least not from what I remember.

STEAM!
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.
