Ok, the coolest part about Titan Quest is the rag doll physics. They are hilarious. Special attacks cause bodies to fly way up high in the air and come down in all sorts of odd places. The variety of character classes is neat too, although I feel a bit trapped by my current build. I started out as a hunter, which means spears and bows are my weapons, and then combo-ed in the warrior. So I'm pretty badass with a spear, but I rarely use the bow. I'd like to try a few different builds, but I don't want to hack my way through the levels again. I'm almost done with Greece, which is the first of the 3 parts. I haven't tried online yet.

Oh, I didn't realize this was a Star Wars forum

Man, I saw the movie "Stealth" (well, parts of it...it was too bad to watch completely) and AI is definitely not the way to go. Those things go rogue too easy. Seriously though, remote piloting is pretty common in real life, hence the mars explorers. But remote control has drawbacks as well.

I've been watching "Last Comic Standing", but it's pretty much the end. It's also way less funny watching the live performances. Sadly, I miss the edited stuff.

It says 2000 or XP on the box, but someone else might know more about it.

I think you are right GoA, but they only have 48 hours (now it's 24) to make that deal, otherwise he becomes a free agent.

Yep, they are stuck with it, otherwise he becomes a free agent. Gomez got 5 million as well, which I think he deserves, but I'm not sure if NJ will sign him. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Ok, I've put a few hours into Titan Quest, and I'm enjoying it. It is very much a Diablo clone, but it's well done and graphically very nice. I enjoy the era as well, and I can't think of many other games that have tackled the Bronze Age. I'll probably grow tired of pointing and clicking, but honestly, I was also tired of Oblivion's block and thrust too.

I'm currently reading a Bernard Cornwell book titled "The Winter King". Cornwell is one of my favorite writers. He focuses on historical fiction, and his Richard Sharpe Series follows the Duke of Welllington through his career. I also loved the Grail series with followed a Longbowman through parts of the 100 years war. The series had one of the best endings I have ever read, it was simply unique and entirely realistic. He does a good job of conveying realism with his adventure, and "Winter King" is a bit more fantastical than the other two series I mentioned. It's on King Authur, so he's forced to rely on a lot of conjecture, whereas his other works are taken straight out of the history books.

Belfour signed with Florida. I dislike the eagle intensely, he seems like a douchebag and he said some messed up stuff when he ditched the Sharks awhile back, but I think this is good for the Panthers. Auld will have someone to split time with as he adjusts to being a starting goalie. Belfour will probably get another 30-35 games under his belt before he retires.

Matt Damon is an excellent actor in my eyes. In fact he's a bit too established to take on a role like this. He wouldn't be William Shatner, that's for sure. Was the Screech reference a dig on Matt Damon? He's a great deal more talented than the cast of Saved By the Bell.

Ok, just picked up Titan Quest. It's been awhile since I played an action RPG, so maybe it will feel fresh and inspired.

But it's still a brothel.

Couldn't we just spam it with topics about every videocard released in the past ten years and their technical capabilities and limitations? One topic for each card. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like your thinking. I'm giving you the rank of General, comrade. We also need to rise up against the moderators. It will be difficult, as they outnumber us 5 to 1, but without the people they are nothing. For the people!

Overclocking to 256 also probably isn't that effective. It sounds like a lot but 128 is enough to run most games. But it might just be a weak card no matter how you clock it. I'd recommend upgrading the card, as the rest of the system isn't too bad. You can get a decent card for about $150.

Why do you think I'm the only one in the picture? There can be only one.

I bought three swords, one for me and two for the groomsmen. I had them engraved with "Friends for Life". It made for some great pictures. It was geeky, but not too geeky. Now if we wore armor or something, that would have been different.

I'm the one not in a dress.

I'm afraid of change. We should riot. Burn the new tech section!

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20000802/huebner_pfv.htm Interesting article on the first Vampire game. I remember liking it, but I agree that they probably tried to do too much in two years of development time.

Lot's of people are losing power, but they aren't planned.

Briere was great last season, but he also was limited due to injury. He's a little guy and will have trouble taking the punishment that top line centers have to endure. He's also, according to what I've read since I've rarely seen him, not a defensively responsible forward. That's a big knock in my eyes. Looking at Scott Gomez, he's defense first and still managed to put up points.

I played it. It was very much a standard shooter. The cut scenes were decent and the western stuff was cool, but it was pretty repetitive. I'd say it's worth $20, but I felt ripped off paying full price. Keep in mind that I dislike shooters in general, I just picked up Darkwatch for the western motiff.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=172126&hubname=nhl I don't get how Briere is worth that much. He's good, but I wouldn't even say he's a top line center. It seems like the arbitration hearings are going the wrong way. On the other hand, I would say that Scott Gomez is worth 5 million. I guess we'll see.
