The Clan purple
As it has already been pointed out there are plenty of clans populated with people who don't have the time or inclination for lengthy practice sessions. Casual gaming is supposed to be about having fun, leave the professional tournaments to the koreans. Although losing is not as fun as winning, doing slightly better than last week is still an amazing feeling.

The Clan purple
I usually go for people I get to know through the game, in an FPS thats usually if you hang out at a certain dedicated server, seeing how the community is so enormous for newer games. I was in two Homeworld clans and had a lot of fun with that. Sigh, too bad the game died out and Relic went on to make Warhammer 40.000 games, which are not my cup of tea. The only Mmorpheger I ever played at lenght was Guildwars, but ultimately I like something that's over in one sitting that has a tactical and strategical element. These things that go on forever and turn into mostly farming don't interest me anymore.

What you did today
- typing "tank to right" lacks a certain immediacy compared with speaking - The total absence of teamwork renders the whole thing into a confused mess - Only defensive missions with chokepoints evidence any teamwork - If you DO happen to get a good team player hang on to the little bastard. Two if us got into a tiger E and did great havoc once we got used to each other's style. Download teamspeak, although hearing your own voice, kinda takes away from the experience. Some clans take tactics and teamwork very seriously. I just got unreal tourney 3 myself, I'm planning on getting butchered by 14 year olds later on today.

I don't think Firefly would have been better if it had gone on forever, just look at Battlestar Gallactica. Firefly comes off better because it ended while it was still good.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Can't you guys at Obsidian quicken things up a bit, work your people harder hire some more hands. I would like to be able to play this some time next week if possible. Thank you.

What you did today
Most importantly you make sure the dog is around other dogs and learns all the nuances of speaking 'dog' while it's a pup. Most problem dogs just never learned because their owners didn't take the time.

Bushfires
Of course if you live somewhere where shrubbery will spontaneously combust and potentially kill people it makes good sense to burn it off as a preventative measure, but what we are really engaged in here is farting in the general direction of the 'greens', I take it those are the people who buy all that expensive eco stuff they sell everywhere. I dunno if 'they' have the stated goal of reducing the earth's population by x billion people. It's more about them feeling good about themselves, and better than everyone else. They used to call this kind of thing Conservationism and it was a laudable cause, not subject to very much in the way of pracitcal know-it-all contempt.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
The potions in the witcher worked rather well IMHO. Otherwise pretty simplistic combat though. Press mouse button 1 four times for the most advanced maneuver...

The Music Thread
Well I guess theres a reason they are classics. I'm partial to digitally remastered stuff or something 60's or later. My dad had a lot of Ellington era stuff I never really got into because the sound quality was so inferior. If it's mono, analogue and grainy whats the use. There's a fair lot of jazz compositions I just find boring, but the good stuff is just fab. What else do you like.

Thi4f finally revealed!
Yeah, proper climbing and large rooftop areas, not the odd climbable tile here and there like T3.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
It's certainly pretty daft being able to go to full health in an instant with stimpacks. We need some non hostile wildlife as well. Radscorpions ruin the joy of exploration, like someone said they are the Cliffracers of FO2.

It's just a project name, those don't mean anything.

ehhh .... Thief 4.. as in 1, 2, 3, 4..

Bushfires
Just an example. Walsh interjected with one where the conservationists were the bad guys. I like to serve the balance.

Thi4f finally revealed!
The thief franchise is too closely associated with Garret. He'll be back. I don't think they care too much about the continuity of the story arc compared with that. Superman came back from the dead remember.

Bushfires
So what do you call the Philippine ones where logging companies and land speculators destroyed thousands of acres of woodland to make sure it didn't receive protected status.

Pictures of your games
Because the adds themselves almost automatically suck. Also, I don't like level design being centered around displaying billboards rather than gameplay, which is a real risk, in for instance multiplayer shooters. if it negates some of the costs involved in these big titles and keeps us from paying more and more for a game, then I'm all for it I'm curious. Do you really think we don't already pay exactly the amount they can get away with charging without hurting the games general distribution and popularity. Adds might help finance a game in some small way, like it does a movie, but it's not like the retail price is going to change.

I'm going to name my son Monty Crababble.

Mysteries of Westgate
The camera is out of whack, they never did fix it, and the rubber banding is a pain. Let the NWN2 engine resign to obscurity pls.

Borrowed a blue note compilation, discovering stuff I like I never even knew existed. Here's a taste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrp94IU3quI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwNrmYRiX_o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfsnVYVd3iI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1a00WERiHA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSFwD3vlyiM Woot, Austin Powers.

Too plugged in?
First step in getting people to talk to you is being easy. Although I can get annoyed at cell phone usage among relative strangers, let alone friends. I get phone fatigue relatively quickly myself. Never was one for those half hour phone marathons which apparently some people engage in willingly.

Too plugged in?
It did that a while back, for the same reason, as an experiment. Although I didn't count music. On the plus side you get more fired up about doing something when there are no distractions.

Dollhouse
So self aware Alpha decides to go back to being a slave voluntarily. Ok, just so long as we are done feeling sorry for her permanently.
