Hero-U Kickstarter: Quest For Glory spiritual successor
Hurlshort replied to Hurlshort's topic in Computer and Console
It was in Oakhurst, which is pretty close to Yosemite and the reason half dome was their logo. I went when I was about 12 years old, and I got to see them working on Quest for Glory 3. They were also just getting ready to release The Sierra Network (or maybe it was out already) and they showed us The Red Baron. It was a very memorable tour -

Back in the late 80's, early 90's, you could actually go on a tour of Sierra and see their artists and programmers working. The industry sure has changed. -
I don't think we need to redo the thread.

Really there are a ton of types of media that manage to stick to a schedule and stay fresh and creative. TV shows do it all the time. Sure, eventually the formula will get stale, but you should be able to get through a few iterations before needing an overhaul.

Norway appoints Muslim woman Minister of Culture
Hurlshort replied to obyknven's topic in Way Off-Topic
We had a Chechnyan/Belgian terrorist here a while back - he blew himself up in a hotel by accident though. But here at least most pickpocket thieves, beggers, organized robbers etc come from slavic or east european countries - but I see your point, it would be easier to integrate slavic people who are interested in coming here. If you talk about the guy in Denmark (sounds like Denmark) he was a Muslim, though. There is no question that Islam has a serious problem with extremism. But it is questionable whether intolerance towards all Muslims is really the way to deal with it. I'm pretty sure embracing the moderates and having healthy dialogues and education is the better course. -

Major thanks to Cant, Shady, and Malcador for kicking in, it looks like it will make it. You won't regret it, the Cole's are one of the few teams that manage to mix humor and wit in with their storytelling. -

Whoo, it really took off, only needs 24k to make it with 17 hours to go. It looks good, but I'm still a bit nervous. They also have over 5500 backers, awesome. -
I think he was just poking fun at the way you worded it Cant

What are you playing now - the plays the thing
Hurlshort replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Computer and Console
Of course, but that shouldn't mean I don't have right to give my opinion. Would make this forum so very boring place if that would be so. And I didn't mean that as a comparison between the two, just made a snark at Hurley. Volourn is my new BFF Currently I'm trying to finish up Assassin's Creed 2, I believe I'm at the end. I've got Altair's armor at least. -

Really Hurly, sometimes I think you would give money for a man who brakes in to your house and pisses on your cerials, because "he clearly went much trouble getting to my house and should be awarded" And sometimes I think you and a few others spend a bit too much time trying to vilify game companies. They are offering a ton of free content for a game that was released less than a year ago. Quite a few of you clearly think the game is worth your time, but not your money, which makes no sense to me. Also, I played both DDO and LotRO extensively both as a subscriber and f2p. First off they both didn't go f2p nearly as early as TOR, and secondly they had plenty of limitations. You had to grind out points to purchase things in LotRO, and really you are paying to expand the storyline because of the expansions and adventure packs. -

Yes, lets complain about the fact that a company is trying to make money off the game they spent hundreds of millions of dollars producing. So you can unlock those coins for $15, or you can buy that many for $10, which is the smarter plan unless you get something else for a month sub. Honestly these complaints sound a bit ridiculous, you can literally play through two full storylines, which is hundreds of hours of gameplay, without spending a dime. What do you expect? This game costs a lot of money to run. -

They need 45k in 28 hours right now. They've been adding a lot of people too, up to 5200 contributors. I'm watching this very closely, it is a lot more stressful than the PE one, which is the only other one I was really excited about. -

Most of your restriction on money and such are to prevent gold farmers from working with impunity. I thought the hotbar restrictions were a bit odd, but can't you use your coins to unlock them? If you were an original subscriber you should have plenty to get a couple things like that, without spending real money. As for the helms, TOR is actually the first MMO where I like the helms. My trooper helmets were always pretty awesome, and my jedi has a hood so you can barely see his tiara. LotRO had the worst helmets I've ever seen. -
Wait, you can't walk around in the levels disguised? That is the best part of the game!

Yeah, to be honest the whole Brotherhood or House choice was huge for me, it really bothered me that House wanted me to take them out. In the end it turned me against him. And really that is why I love Obsidian. They create difficult moral dilemmas in their games, and they do so gracefully.

Definitely a busy day for pledges! Less than 60k to go in 40 hours, it's doable. -
As you kind of hinted at, we can explain the chemical reaction of love, but we can't really explain why someone loves someone else specifically. So we've answered the how but not the why.

Agreed. That's why I don't think Absolution will be for me.

It's looking pretty tight, but at least they are getting close. They brought up a good point with Shadowrun Online, how it looked like it was going to be a good deal short and then it got $200,000 in the last two days. Rumor is that was some sort of investor, seems odd to me.
