Bioware gets eaten?
Yea, comparing Jade Empire's 6 recent months sale to date on a XBOX (not sure if it's even on PS2) and the PC BG series's (pick any one) cumulative sales of 5? years is going to take a lot of adjustment to get any meaningful interpretation.

Bioware gets eaten?
You guys should adjust figures to take into account the number of games (expansions not included etc), equiv time period (6 months), number of platforms (though KOTOR probably hurt because of ppl planning for PC) etc. Probably for game competition at that time, levels of advertising etc. Saying X mil > 600k is most likely misleading.

So you finally got nailed for spam.

Bioware gets eaten?
Probably the latter.

I doubt the management will be as independent as they are (were?) right now. I guess there'll be benefits with merging but I doubt they're worth the loss of independence (and larger management/communication costs?) since BIO's doing pretty well by itself. OBS private ownership 4TW

NWN2 creature pics
In case you missed it, it's "just" a halloween thing but it's in-game creature models I think. http://www.obsidianent.com/images/NWN2_halloween_1.jpg

paris riots
I can't remember the last time Japan played Russia, but they definitel had some superb one-touch passing going in the latter part of the Confederations Cup against Greece and... Brazil.

Lol, I don't know how you seperated the words into states and recombined them while maintaining grammar, but it's pretty good. "An umberhulk is not NWN1. NWN1 is not a dwarf. It's a spider."

Guess I'll be a Pirate Now
Did the CD carry info/terms of use that included that? If not, installing software on PCs without the users' knowledge isn't cool.

I enjoyed watching Constantine...

icewind dale like game
I'd never say "never" to something reasonable. Planescape's definitely shown me that something done well can be very good even if it isn't usually. Same for Fallout - I didn't enjoy combat but the roleplaying in the game made it worthwhile.

The Simpsons
Futurama's much better than the Simpsons and South Park throws up a few gems here and there. However I'm not sure how those wacky Japanese managed to make an interesting/good cartoon about an aspiring 16 yr old baker but somehow they managed to do it in Yakitate Japan. When'll the subbed ep 42 be out :,(

NWN2 Screenies
^Ah thanks. Who owns the NWN game brand btw - Atari or Bio?
-
NWN2 Screenies
Why are they there in the first place if Bioware's not a middleman in the relationship with Atari?
-
NWN2 Screenies
I agree that the BIO boards are really slow, which is the main reason I don't go there. Guess Obsidian does save some money on hosting costs but I agree with kirottu saying it can give the wrong impression on who's developing the game.

RPGs worth playing
Get a console and try some of the RPGs out there. Some of the RPGs out there are really different from what you'd typically find on PCs. Broaden horizons and all that.
