Ok, they are two totally different genres. If you want Battlefront, go get Battlefield. It's better in every way, except it's not Star Wars, but I'm sure a mod will come out eventually. If you want Battle for Middle Earth...well I hate RTS games so I won't touch this one.

Ok, I'm still trying to enjoy ToEE, but I'm having problems. I'm level 3 now, but it's not clear where I should go. I went to an outpost and got romped on, I killed most of the undead at the battlefield... Also, a good chunk of the quests in the village are either too lame to finish or seem broken. I also can't loot bodies...it's a bug, but I guess they never fixed it in a patch.

Oblivion is the 4th, although Arena was more of a tech demo for Daggerfall. They had an action game called Redguard that was set in the ES universe as well, but I don't think that really counts. I'm not including expansions either.

It's worth it just for the Lionheart manual. Yippee.

Anyone here play Star Wars: Republic Commando? I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a fun FPS game with some interesting squad elements, and it gave you a grittier side of the SW universe. It was short and not too difficult, but I have trouble finishing any shooter that's over 25 hours.

Fallout will not reach commercial success as a 2-D top down RPG. While I would love to see them go the way of NWN in terms of game engines, that is still a major evolution.

I'd accuse Volourn of bashing, but then that would be bashing. In the end, it's all baldurdash. It's all opinions here. Certain people will pop into every MMORPG thread and bash them, as others will do for any Bethesday thread, and so on. It's an endless cycle. Do we expect different results? I think we are all insane.

I think I'll throw in the fact that we still haven't seen anything on Fallout 3. No gameplay videos, no screenshots, not even concept art. This is pretty silly until the design becomes clear. All we know is that it won't be 2D, and it will probably allow 1st person. Even that isn't solidified.

Bethesda only published Pirates of the Caribbean. It was actually developed by Akella. It was originally going to be Sea Dogs 2, of which I enjoyed the original, but with the movie coming out near the time of the game, they switched it over. Technically the game had little to do with the movie, but I hear it was a bit of a mess. Still, hard to blame Bethesda, as they didn't develop it. They might have made the movie license call though.

That was the most depressing movie I have seen in awhile. I related most with her husband.

Here's one I use in some games. http://somafm.com/listen/

Many Star Trek episodes are based off classical literature. You can find the same themes in Greek and Roman mythology, as well as Shakespeare and many other famous authors. The writing really was superior, although I don't think it fared as well after TNG.

I'd go, but it sounds like y'all are kinda nitpicky with this stuff. Shoulda, coulda, woulda...Plus all that posting of pics and journal sounds like school work. I think I'll go grade papers instead.

That is unfortunately true. Olympians are forced to pay their own way pretty much all the time for US competitors. It's a bit better for Summer gamers because Track & Field and swimming don't have much inherent costs, but ice time and year round snow are expensive. I think other countries are a bit more supportive financially with there potential Olympians.

Can you give more info. on Domino? I've been thinking about renting it. It doesn't cost me anything, but is it worth the time?

Good finale to a very good Olympics. I was rooting for the underdog Finland, but there is definitely no shame in the silver. Selanne looked pissed.

I keep on trying to find a way to get into Temple of Elemental Evil. It has the trappings of a good game, but the first town is huge, confusing, and boring me to death. I went off to some outpost and got romped on. Now my cleric is dead and my party just barely hit level 2.

Nicole Kidman naked made it very watchable. I thought it was actually a fairly good film, lots of secret society stuff. I think you need to be in the right frame of mind. It's a slow film, if you don't go in with patience, you'll probably dislike it.

Hmm, pretty tough questions. I remember enjoying it the first time around, but I didn't get far in the story. After a few missions in Balmora, I went to work for a guild. For some reason, I really enjoyed the Fighter's and Rogue Guild missions. They were mostly, go here, kill this NPC, but it felt like I was making good progress. So I'd recommend hitting the big city and joining a guild.

Whenever you guys want. I'm always on Xfire, just jump on and give me a hollar.

Legally they are treated the same, as evidenced by the fact that these women have been getting jail terms and have to register as sexual offenders. The problem with the law is when an 18 year old and a 17 year old get together...the parents can actually charge the 18 year old with statutory rape, whether it was consensual or not. That will stay on his or her record forever.

It's Johnny Mnemonic. I hate it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok, I remember liking it, so that will be my movie.

Keanu Reeves has done some of the best geek movies ever. Other than the Matrix, he also did that cyberpunk one where his head was a hard drive...I can't remember the name. I swear he had another one too.

I hated Sin City. It reminded me of Max Payne, which I also hated. I guess I just don't like graphic novels. Bad similes, over-dramatized dialogue, and frustrating lighting. My favorite movie that everyone else hates is the Final Fantasy one.

I'm wking up at 6 AM for the gold medal game in Hockey. I missed the Russia/Czech game, but it sounded uninspiring. What happened to Russia? Did the offensive superstars all die?
