This is one of them great mysteries of the universe, right up there with the secrets of the pyramids : why anyone liked HALO. I mean we know that they did, and that they do. Just... WHY ?.

Get with the times already. No one uses EI anymore

I mean to say, there is little going on besides shooting things with guns or magic, or hacking if you took the barbarian or whatever he was called. It pretty much is Diablo.

Torchlight. It's a pretty simplistic top down view fantasy shooter. Strangely addictive.

I always wondered if that was Risen as in choklade Risen or Risen as in not sitting down anymore.

Doesn't follow on a 1 to 1 basis. Most people will take any old garbage if it's for free.

By the way I have a TV license and I don't have a TV. That's how it works here, unless you live in a cave you pay.

It doesn't take much in the way of computer savey to pirate, your average user would be good to go in a heartbeat. Also Hurlshot is right about growing up, that's what happened to me anyway.

Well prices on steam don't reflect those in stores for various nefarious reasons already mentioned. Just wait for the CDs, they will cost the same as everything else. It's the same reason DVD and Blue Ray region coding exists, so they can charge more where they can get away with it. Only with steam they can actually effectively deny parallel imports. If it wasn't the private sector doing it people would be calling it a Socialist conspiracy.

Indeed.

So what are you guys doing. Cramming like it's the night before the economics exam, buying fur coats and eating caviar. Happy with the build ?

I pay around 45 E for a European release, considering that I don't buy that many games I don't worry about it.

I played for 25 minutes, then decided I hated the graphic design. I might actually enjoy MMOing if not for all the tedium of running around hamstering things 90% of the time.

Well, time is ultimately an expression of the expansion of the universe since the big bang. If the story must have a beginning it's in whatever caused it.

But Dim Sum would be bad without a side of rice. Not so CRPGS

What do I believe in, nothing yet. Still waiting to be disproved. I really do hope I am.

Personally I think STEAM has an unrealistic idea of how prices are maintained. I'm not going to pay half the price of a new game for something that's 10 years old unless it's something I really want. I like their collection of older games, but I would rather go bargain bin hunting at those prices. I also dislike all the sales. Makes me think I'm getting shafted if I buy anything at full price. I'll be getting FO NV but other than that I'm falling out of love with STEAM. Also, who is ever going to pay 49.99 for Caine and Lynch 2.

Well in order to get it to work you emulate a crappy old computer on a DOSbox, If there was no computer back then capable of attaining a decent frame rate (quite possible) then it's not going to make a difference.

I don't get it

Do you mean Torment, because that was never a problem with other EI games. There is fix out for the torment AOE spell effect bug on newer machines. Getting it to work takes installing the game and then a couple of mandatory mods and fixes on top of it.

Why bother, you can get them all in one DVD pack with nothing more nefarious than a CD check.

Seems to me that abuse of power is more important than whether or not he is a nice guy with kids and a mortgage. It's still off with the head on principle.

Never had a big hair rock phase myself.

Wow, another youtube time warp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QaS5BR5Js...feature=related

I'm not serious. I just don't think you have to be a parent to have an opinion about parenting. It's like when people go 'it's a black thing, you don't understand'. In other words, I belong to an exclusive group and you can't play because you don't belong. I on the other hand have the weight of experience. The thing is, while it may be true, it's not a real argument. It's grandstanding.
