"Buh, buh, if the USA is so great, how come people are running away to the Soviet Union??? Riddle me that!!!"- You, circa 1930. You remind me a bit of what the Danish Communists used to say about East Germany, without actually having met any non regime East Germans of course.

Because in practice, all communist regimes have been totalitarian. And to be honest, I think what you're aiming for is socialist democracy which, while not unworkable, teetters far too close to totalitarian for my liking, because the government has so much raw power. In Italy and the former Russian republics municipal government has been run by communists (this is while the country is democratic) as far as I know it worked tolerably well.

If North Korea was so fab I kinda doubt people would risk their lives to get out, and they continually do.

So theres wardogs, what else. Your basic D&D bestiary ?

It's a standard hack/slash, just as Half-Life 2 is a standard FPS, and NWN2 - Mask of the Betrayer is a standard RPG. If you base your opinions on how things look... I've played Halflife 2 and I'd say it was your basic FPS with some puzzles and race stages thrown in for variation.

What's 'dynamic touch', are we talking about an input device. Where does it go on you.

I don't know anything about this game, but it looks like your standard 4 party member hack/slash. I could go for something like that. I guess it will come down to the DRM. I don't want anymore games requiring constant internet connection or only 3 hardware profiles/installs.

Yes and yes.

I was trying to remember the name of a game I was playing around the same time as Nomad Soul. It's a dark sci fi/puzzle solver/shooter. where you play as a little fat angel who possesses people, to get into the factory possess the supervisor with the key card.... that kinda thing.

I just read this and lol'd: [/img] Not the original, but at least I own it. Some of the mini games in Nomad Soul are absolutely horrid. The shooting is bad, the mele works tolerably. I must admit I lost track of what I was supposed to be doing pretty quickly. It's not so much ahead of it's time as simply trying to do too much. I never finished it, but I stuck with it about half way two times, and I consider that an accomplishment. The only thing it's got going for it is the atmosphere.

I dunno the single player looks pretty meh, and that's he doing playing a shooter on a console, contradiction in terms.

I'm currently subsiding on a diet of whatever is on sale, today was bananas and salmon. Not the best combination for a full course, but do continue, I like to live vicariously through people with a budget for food and toilet paper.

Yeah but a 100mbt line is only a 100mbt line if all the stars align correctly and a human baby sacrificed on a winter solstice.

Adam Sandler isn't very good, but somehow I don't mind watching his bad movies.

I played through nocturne. Pretty decent, good atmosphere. Not awesome though.

Unfortunately the 'boss fights'/final levels in all the installments of the game are very poor, but everything up to that is great. In Homeworld # 1 you were rewarded for finishing levels with low losses, in Homewold # 2 you were punished for playing well with the new 'adaptive AI'. The worse you played the easier the game got, and vice versa. Pretty much completely destroyed the single player experience for me. Homeworld Cataclysm (came out between 1 and 2) is a close second to Homeworld with a lot of really challenging missions and no idiot IA punishing your successes.

Also I would like to mention Homeworld for those who might not have heard of it. 360 degree RTS with the usual resource gathering but without the focus on buildings. your entire fleet can be hyperspaced away from the enemy. Superb for online or lan. Below what looks like a heavy cruiser engaging a shipyard.

One of the best games for stress release ever! Just started playing soul reaver 1. It took a while to get it working, damn 10 years old ps1 port. Blade of Darkness is indeed quite awesome, you would'nt expect it to be for a mindless hack&slash, but the attention to detail and the level design are top notch. I didn't like the gameplay much in any of the soul reaver games except the orginal 2d isometric Cain game.

Its a la fight club or memento where the main character has been deluding himself the whole time.

Everything has its allotted time. A bit nostalgic perhaps considering how much time one has spent typing with all you mopes.

The world needs people who will climb up a reactor cooling tower for no better reason than to wave to the cameras.

That's odd, beer settles my stomach, I often use it as a cure. Hard liquor gives me the runs, well, maybe that's because I only drink it in copious amounts or not at all.

I have a soft spot for activists, too bad these guys are such douches as I am sympathetic to their cause.

'Culling', don't you mean hunting/fishing, whatever it's called. Anyway of course I disagree with hunting endangered species.

That looks pretty serious, even more so if you have asthma or something.
