I'm only allowed unsupervised in the C&C section. It's like a foreign language.

I'm a hunter, and I carry a big pistol.

Pillars of Eternity will probably not go over a million. Neither Alpha Protocol or Dungeon Siege III managed to break that mark. Granted those are very different games, but if we are looking at Obsidian's selling power based solely on their name, it's clearly not strong enough to pull in a million in sales without some extra name power. Plus both of those games had the benefit of being multi-platform, so it's an obstacle for PoE to sell only to PC gamers. But why does it need to sell a million? It's limited to one platform, it already raised $4 million from a small audience, and it's a new property. It's a niche product. It will probably wow the RPG crowd, but so did Divinity. It will sell hundreds of thousands of copies, but a million is about as likely as it was for Divinity. It's an unrealistic expectation.

Why?

We already have a thread with scantily clad ladies, so I'm not sure why we need it spilling into other threads. Although this thread is not exactly a shining moment in Obsidian history.

I didn't even know it leveled past 20!

Reached level 43 with my Panda Monk in WoW, it's been a lot of fun visiting all the old areas from when the game came out and seeing it updated. It's flying by nicely, no grind at all.

It's really bizarre. I knew I didn't like the Cespedes trade, but it really seems like they've lost their mojo completely. I hope they can figure it out, they still have the pitching. The Giants clobbered the Dodgers this evening. Hopefully they can get a win against one of their two aces this weekend. The Dodgers are a weird club, they have a ton of talent, but they don't really seem like a team. They do some terrible stuff on the field, really. I like the chances against them if the Giants meet them in a series.

That's good to know, you have to assume Pillars of Eternity will manage similar numbers.

Sah-ree I've never even noticed a post from you before this one, so you weren't really the target. But given your oversensitive reaction, I'm not really going to change my stance.

I hate golf. Also not digging much of the new member influx.

You can't do it until level 5, it's called the Crucible and it is a separate place that you visit.

Those guys are going to win the league?

Bungie just made Destiny for both consoles, so I'm not sure what their relationship is with Microsoft anymore. Speaking of Destiny, just reached level 8 and having a blast exploring the moon. I tried one PvP match and was terrible, but thankfully there is plenty of PvE content to keep me happy.

Ah, the wonderful life of working parents. Every morning I get up, make lunches for my two kids, wolf down breakfast, shower and get dressed, make two chocolate milks for the kids, poke and prod at my son until he is dressed while my wife handles the daughter, get him to the bathroom, help him brush, carry him to the car in a blanket, then load up the car, head over to grandma's, unload the kids and all their stuff, get back in the car, drop wife off at work, then drive myself to work. It ain't always pretty, but we get it done.

PS4 is $100 cheaper, and it is fantastic, so I went with that.

Nice of you to check in with us Cant. Grats on the weight loss.

I'm amazed at how marketable Minecraft is. It's everywhere, t-shirts, stuffed animals, lego sets. That's got to be bringing in some major scrap for that guy.

I bought Destiny, and it's fantastic. Bungie really managed to pull off a great MMO shooter. It's a beautiful and engaging world, and my character with his big hand blaster and sniper rifle is super fun to play. I am not sure that they have the depth of an MMORPG, as I've only played to level 5, but it's a very good start.

I just sent an invisible jet over to your house. It's parked out front.

Never try and reason with Gromnir!

King is so dang productive, he writes just a ton.

Well, I wouldn't use that game as a gauge of how the Niners defense will hold up until they start getting guys back. I don't think you can count on other teams emptying an entire clip into their own foot, reloading, then emptying the next clip into their foot. When you think about though, now they only have 8 games until they get both Aldon Smith and Bowman back. Granted they might not be up to speed, but even if the Niners go 5-3 over the next 8, they are in a good position to be getting stronger going into the postseason. Of course both Brock and Culliver were carted off today, so who knows how that turns out.

It looks like an ideal game to play on a tablet, which is nice. Tablets need love too.

I was pretty worried about the Niners defense this season, but thankfully the Cowboys are just going to hand the ball over and plead for mercy.
