I picked up Risen for the PC at Best Buy, I believe. It's been out so long, it really is just a matter of luck to find a physical copy.

Is it any good? I'm close to getting this one as well, so I'd love a review. Is the story engaging at all? It sounds a bit meh generic fantasy, but it is hard to get a read on whether they engage you as a player well.

I guess I am too. I have no idea how that happened, but we should probably get official badges or something. I don't recognize about half of those names on the member list too. Wals is player of the week

I have L4D as well, haven't played it in ages. There is a Steam Obsidian group on there that a few of us are in, Society of Dangerous Obsidian Forum something or other, I think it is SODOFF.

Had the same thought. Imagine him giving the VK test Oh well, treat it like the new Dune books, pretend they don't exist. I made the comment a bit tongue in cheek, but I really could see him doing it. I like Johnny Mnemonic enough to go see it with him as the lead.

Let's play a round some day hurlie - I have the game as well. Sounds good, my soldier name is Hurlshot, I think there is a friends list in the game.

I'm getting a bit better in BFBC2, still have an atrocious round here or there. I did get a lucky headshot on a guy from 700 yards out, that would be my best kill so far.

I've ben eating a box of girl scout cookies a day and feeling sick afterwards. Thankfully I finished the last one today.

I thought the dwarf story line was also fantastic as a dwarf commoner. You are basically choosing between your sister and Harrowmont.

I told Alistair to shut his trap, killing the mom was the only way and he needed to get over it.

So a good dentist may have prevented the Holocaust?

As long as it has Keanu Reeves in it, I'm game.

Yeah, I don't seem to be doing much damage right now with the default sniper rifle, I had a few hits before I got an actual kill. In previous games, the rifle brought guys down to the verge of death, so I'm not sure how it works here. Also, I don't get the health bar info at all. One of the problems with buying on Steam is I don't get a manual I can read on the toilet. How the heck do you use medkits in this game?

Nothing. This is their first project, the studio director is a former Sony studio boss with a pretty successful release under his belt. If you're too lazy to look a team up, applying the "your product is only as good as your pedigree" philosophy seems kind of... limiting. I think he is saying he plans on waiting until it is out and the feedback starts to roll in before looking too closely at it. That is what happened with Batman: AA, it wasn't on the radar for me, but when it came out and the folks that got it loved it, I had to grab it.

I think Risen is the Bee's knees, so I'm pretty excited about this. I am actually playing through Risen right now, so I have to avoid these articles to prevent spoilers.

Battlefield BC 2 on Steam - It's been two years since I've really played a shooter, and my skills are pretty rusty. Still, the game seems pretty solid and I think I'll be able to play my preferred sniper role fairly well. I got one kill with the sniper rifle last night, but hopefully more will come as I warm up.

I moved all day long yesterday, and now I have a new house full of boxes. Man, I have a lot of work to do, and it was a killer to go to work today, but at least the internet is up and running at full speed.

My daughter is almost 4 and I've been gently shoving her towards playing with lego's. It's awesome, she mostly just destroys what I make, but she really digs the Star Wars sets.

Speaking of Risen, I just hit level 20 and I'm feeling pretty powerful. I still have to do a lot of backwards running to fireball some of the bigger guys, but I'm enjoying the challenge. I'm on Act 3, still really enjoying the story.

There is no need. Women have breasts.

We didn't put any beds or couches in storage, thankfully. It's all pretty much shelving and tables. Right now I'm using my RV as a moving truck, basically just loading it up with everything I don't trust putting in boxes.

I actually was convinced in GI Jane, but I still think that Easter Promises was his best. He's got a pretty huge range as well. I mean, yes, he always plays intense and all that, but he has nailed quite a few different accents.

I'm packing up stuff for our big move on Tuesday. It's actually a bit easier than I thought it would be, we really have a ton of stuff in storage. I'm excited to move into a place where we can actually use all our furniture and stuff that has been in storage for years.

Risen - apparently I needed to be more careful with all these plants lying around the island. I wasn't very diligent about collecting them, and I ate a few along the way, and now I realize that to boost my strength and dexterity to adequate levels I needed to brew a good amount of potions. Ah well, it is pretty easy to backtrack with all the animals on the island still dead. I just got my strength up high enough to use my obsidian sword, and I'm close to using a custom sword called the stormbringer. This game really is great.
