How about a national lottery, to determine succession that is. I mean I'm a Republican at heart, but the monarchy seems to be good for business, dragging in the tourists and profiling industry and whatnot.

Remove distractions. I used to go to the library to write uni stuff, it's a boring place, ain't **** to do but what you came there to do.

Speaking of which, they are making us vote on whether to make succession determined by the first born, or by sex, that is a boy doesn't automatically trump a girl. I dunno, If we are going to have a ludicrously outmoded job like "King of Denmark", the concept of equality seems entirely out of place. Start with making the king an elected official, then we'll talk gender discrimination.

My mother has a boat full of action force figures protecting the glasses in the kitchen, some family had to stay a couple of nights or something, I can't say I have an easy time believing that they would be better than something.

Truth be told the first two didn't have more then two pixels between them to flesh out the characters, but the surroundings and the music were great. So were the text based duels. Never played the later ones.

Concept art looks a lot better than the renders. A line drawing has soul, this just looks like a weak toy story imitation. Only exception I can think of is the top of my head is Wall-E. Yes I know this is not a feature film so the complaint is beside the point, but still.

When the source material is as weak as GI Joe, maybe it's for the best.

Oh nevermind, the page has been updated since.

Doesn't the transponder show altitude. If the last data shows the plane in a dive it's not looking good, if it doesn't then the lack of a signal means just means that.

Pills are your friend. I find that just a couple of days of using them will knock the internal clock back to normal.

They are all still inescapably designed around a tiny lead figure having to look distinct and impressive from across the table. Sometimes they look cool up close anyway, but when taken out of their original element the result is usually poor. Ohh and don't forget about the Orcs, they are almost lame enough to drag the whole franchise down with them.

My dad only had 4 kids by 4 different women.

Speaking of space, has anyone played the adons to Sins of a Solar empire. I still have the game, although I thought it was a bit simplistic and streamlined for the multiplayer experience to begin with. Space RTS, fine, Empire building multiplayer... ehh whats the use. This game is trying to be both and succeeding at neither.

No one actually goes through the trouble of declaring war anymore, they just start shooting.

Also Grand Torino, yesterday. I thought it would be some emo family film, turned out hilarious.

NWN got pretty good with the various adons, NWN2 couldn't have much in the way of exploration because the engine couldn't handle it.

During my stint in guildwars I purposely wore poorer quality armor because it was the only style I could stand looking at, but this, is much much worse.

The skill point system was certainly poorly thought out. I remember purposely not choosing the skills I wanted to use the most as major skills, that way I would have the maximum 3x5 ability score points per level up. Lockpicking was just agility, or was it intelligence, training to me, I always carried around the maximum number of picks. Before I could afford that I never bothered with locks, as there was never anything but random generated crap behind them, and the random generated crap got better with higher levels.

Oblivion is pretty decent, the main quest runs out of steam and the rest becomes slowly pointless after you are done trekking around discovering stuff, but that happens in every Bethesda game, until it does you have fun.

T4. It's crap, just like everyone says.

I wouldn't know, I haven't read any reviews on Oblivion. Shivering Isles was pretty good though. I had fun on my first play through of Oblivion as well. Not fantastic or anything, just adequate. And yes of course, trusting game reviews made for commercial purposes is a mistake. Too much mutual dependence between publisher and game site. I take it most game purchasers have figured this out already and only read the reviews for the screen shots and gameplay descriptions.

I'm so hardcore I stay awake longer than my insomnia! No, it's a real pain in the ass, anyone who has ever suffered from the real deal will tell you. Fortunately I respond well to pills.

Would have been easier to dodge out when he first mentioned it was a sunday, say you had plans, whatever. Too late now, unless some family emergency could magically pop up.

When my insomnia gets too bad I stay awake the whole night and the next day as a sort of cure. It does require that I have nothing scheduled though, even though my body isn't tired my brain goes into power saving mode and functions at around half capacity.
