Heh, I'm just happy when i see blues at level 10. I made my first foray into the Dark Zone, seems to be a lot of crates I can't open. I got up to Dark Zone level 6 pretty quick though, so it seems to move fast.

I didn't get it either.

Yes, that is a well known fact. Otherwise I'm sure they would have tried making a sequel to it by now. Would they though? I love the game, but they are running a business. It didn't sell well, it isn't even really a cult hit. If they really wanted to give it another go, they could probably easily lease or buy it from Sega. But I don't see the profit in it.

Just as an aside, Obsidian does not have the rights to Alpha Protocol either.

I am almost positive we had a thread about this awhile back, where we discussed the same video.

How come everyone is so sure the IP will belong to Paradox? It's a safe assumption, given where the forums are, who is pushing the announcements, etc. Obsidian does not have a long history of owning or leasing IP's, they typically are brought in by a publisher to develop a project and they are paid for that. Less risk and less reward.

I dropped Destiny quickly as well. The Division is way better. I am hooked.

This may be an addition that happened after the beta, but there are a lot of people around, both in the streets and in buildings. I love it when I catch a glimpse of someone in a window. One time I saw a mother holding her baby and it fairly shocked me. I find myself stumbling upon all sorts of interesting scenes in the streets; people fighting over supplies, hoodlums looting and threatening innocents, and plenty in need of help. For my money, they've done a great job of making the world around me seem alive and active. So maybe they've improved it, or maybe I've just had more luck in what I've stumbled across. It's a big world.

You also have no obligation to go into the Dark Zone. The game is pretty fantastic strictly as a PvE RPG. I'll give it a try eventually, but so far I've been exploring on my own, done coop for a couple missions, and enjoyed it tremendously.

It's weird, but when I read American Gods I totally pictured Moon as American Indian. It's been a long while, so I'm probably wrong. I thought he was like some mix of Scandinavian and Cherokee.

I already gave you the link above. See https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/tyranny Feel free to vote. Ah, I missed it earlier. I added a vote. Do you think it gets enough exposure there? It looks like it is doing alright, 70 votes so far. It will need a good deal more to get attention though.

So...did you start the petition yet?

Madmartigan! Madmartigan!

The thing with Bonds is you can greatly diminish the power aspect and he is still one of the greatest. He was a great fielder, runner, he hit for average, he had the best eye for the strike zone, etc.

McGwire (and Sosa) are still marginal HoFer's if we discount PED's. Bonds and Clemens are absurdly qualified.

I've always had issues with AA. My sister bounced around in it for years, and I always felt it was a terribly ineffective program.

As I mentioned, your best bet as a consumer is to get a petition going and send it off to Paradox. They will take notice if you have 5-10 thousand signatures on it.

huh? I don't see Fallout 2, X-Com or any of Shiny's games. but maybe it's just the bad picture quality I have Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, 3, and New Vegas. I have Giants on GOG, and Earthworm Jim once upon a time. Missed X-COM completely at the time of release. Later I loved Terror from the Deep. Terror from the Deep was the first X-Com I played, I think I had a demo of it or something... I loved it, I still think the X-Com games are some of the best games ever made. My life being the way it is, naturally I ended up meeting a level designer who'd worked on it. Anyways did I tell you guys that I've defected to... EA. *facepalm* Volo's gunna have a field day with that. According to a recent poll, most Obsidianites are in fact evil so it doesn't come as a total surprise. Welcome back, glad you're doing well. He wrote that 6 years ago, so clearly EA has him locked in a basement somewhere.

Barry Bonds just beat the Marlins, including Giancarlo Stanton, in a home run contest. Sign him up!

It is safe to probably assume this will be Steam only. This is a Paradox title that Obsidian is developing, so Obsidian will have no real say in anything in regards to the publishing side. That isn't to say that you can't put some pressure on Paradox to branch out from Steam. Maybe start a petition. I'd sign it, even though I have little issue using Steam.

Interesting. I knew he wasn't going to go with a liberal, that would be a waste of time for everyone. The big question is will Republicans accept that this is a decent moderate choice, or will they try and roll the dice and hope they can win the presidency and nominate a more conservative voice. Seems like a big gamble, but heck if I understand half the stuff they do.

You are young, give it time.

Heart attacks aren't really unexpected either. They are a pretty natural way to go, usually predictable based on your genetics or diet. edit: I have high blood pressure genetically. I expect to have one eventually.

Unicorns have a massive stabby thing on their heads, they should be way higher on the evil scale.
