Bit more of an Off Topic conversation, unless we are going to seriously discuss the game Small World.

Fallout:NV is done and the Wheel of Time is more of an advisory situation. They are probably getting ready to start a new title, actually. Patch teams are also very small and able to work on other projects concurrently, as is the WoT team.

In terms of enthusiasm, sure, but the majority of folks who bought the game played through the single player stuff and then shelved it... just like any other non-mmo game. I agree with this. It seems like a pretty odd decision. If you are going to create an easy to use toolset, why wouldn't you have a small team make a campaign with it? Bioware seemed to make a very basic campaign with NWN, it was surpassed in quality by the fan community fairly quickly, but at least it came with something to play out of the box. It's pretty early in the development though, so I guess time will tell.

He said the HP will be about 3 times what the tabletop uses. Considering mages have like 4 hp in the tabletop game, that sounds reasonable. The only other specific he said is that they are ditching initiative rolls. The interviewer was referring to Turbine and how they handled DDO, maybe you misread that as the developer.

You can continue playing and doing quests after the end of ME2. If you don't get killed, that is. I think I read that ME3 will take any save, not just an endgame one, so you should be able to do stuff after the ending and have it carry as well.

This is quite clearly not an MMO. It is just NWN without a single player campaign. If the toolset is easy enough to use and the servers are stable and easy, it should be a nice idea.

Surely you're aware of its many flaws! I admit the second to second is definately fun, but the boss AI coupled with awful controls, a terrible hour to hour, and ridiculious save mechanic spoil the experience. I'm really just looking for second to second fun out of most video games. I enjoyed Dead Rising too.

And it is infuriating! I hates them... and the stupid masses who play MMORPGS! Hey, I resemble that remark!

I created this account so I could tell you I didn't read your post, but there are a lot of ways you can improve it. I hope this post is not in vain.

What do you mean? They are spending a ton of money and resources to develop KotOR.

I thought it was a fairly fantastic year. ME2, RDR, Just Cause 2, Alpha Protocol, and Starcraft 2 have all been fantastic. I think F:NV will be a good end to the year. I'll probably try Arcania as well.

THe Vikings have a pretty brutal schedule. I still think they have a good shot at the playoffs, but it will be a tough road. It is also hard to put too much faith in older QB's, I know I don't bounce back like I did in my 20's.

Larry King is about 125 years old, so it is hard to be too surprised by this. It's also not like it is a serious news show or anything, he's had a few moments here and there, but he isn't Barbara Walters.

You are correct about the NFC West. However I don't think it is possible for the team that wins the division to go 7-9. Mathematically, the team that wins will end up getting about five wins from the division, and going 2-8 against the rest of the league would be very hard to pull off. I do see an 8-8 record being enough though. I think the 49ers actually have the defense to compete with most teams.

I think there is supposed to be a six month rule with exes, where you don't see or talk to them for that length of time. But I've been married too long and I really have no idea how the single people do it these days. When I say 'do it', I'm being literal. If we manage to get both kids asleep at the same time, we typically just pass out from exhaustion.

One time I attended the wrong class for three weeks. I turned in a paper, and it was returned to me with a note saying I was not on the class roster. It was a bit embarrassing. I actually needed the correct class to graduate on time, so I had to go beg the professor to let me try and catch up after missing his class for three weeks.

Nobody really wants a unique setting. The Secret World will probably suffer the same Fate as AoC, having a mediocre start and lousy subsciption numbers afterwards. AoC had a spectacular launch, moving over a million units in the first month. They went on a hiring spree to deal with it. Then they lost a huge amount of subscriptions in the first few months, and weren't prepared to deal with the economics of that. If Secret World can sell that many out of the gate, hopefully they will be smarter about how they handle that capital.

Good plan, because the odds she will find you are pretty low.

I'd say there is a much greater chance of a large plague than some kind of crazy overpopulation worldwide riot.

Deadly, is that a recent picture?

Or indeed anything which says it is a tiger. For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Zoo_tiger_attacks

Don't get eaten by a Tiger.

Art School Confidential - Pretty creative shift from a standard young boy trying to lose his virginity film.

EVE Online is a game for accountants, so I don't think that is possible.

Still playing Risen. It really made me drop GTA4 fast. I probably won't go back to GTA4 unless I find a way to improve the performance.
