Is there a list of expected games to be featured on E3, by chance?

I haven't played much yet (I need to pay my girlfriend some attention via MSN first). The only thing that I found interesting up to this point was when I approached a Combine soldier and prodded him (clicked the 'Use' key) he activated this sort of cattle prod and hit me, then proceeded to chase me around. He wasn't giving up so I played along like any other opressed person in a totalitarian regime. I crouched and looked down. The guy stopped, turned back and left me alone. I have no idea if this was meant to happen, but it was funny.

If it's going for the modern feel, Megatron should have "First Iraq, then France" scribbled on what of its sides.

I briefly questioned a Bioware developer trough a PM, and the person stated that Baldur's Gate 3 was pretty much out of their hands. I don't think the person was lying, but the situation could change. I don't want to reveal the person's name as I'm not sure if it was meant to be classified information or not. I doubt I'd be getting TEH SEKRIT SKOOP!! from Bioware, or from the person I talked to, but still.

No, but situations such as convincing someone you were their long lost pet turtle (who has grown) are quite odd.

Don't care for that. Some Malkavian dialogue choices are just wack.

The Genesis version was superior to most every element of the SNES version, and was a great game too. It seemed to be closer to the mechanics of the PnP, although it should be expected that it may seem terribly diluted to purists of the original game. And yes, Feargus should have a chat with MS to get to work on a PC version of it.

You all made me do the unthinkable. I actually went out today and spent money on Half-Life 2. Worse than spending money on a firstperson shooter, I actually bought the Collecter's Edition. I am, without a doubt, on my way to perdition. I hope you all take great pleasure in knowing you have managed to destroy my ideals.

They'll ask them to cosplay and will end the night bondaging them and trying to simulate tentacles with fire hoses.

Tell us how you REALLY feel.

I wouldn't need to, I thought that was common knowledge by now.

I have sigs disabled.

TEH VOL MOD FINALLY HAS A NAME!

With Square at the helm, I'd expect BG3 to be even more story driven linear and straightforward than past BG games, with some sad attempt at longevity and non-linearity by including some card game, enemy hunting spots, and secret, deep dungeons filled with phat loot.

If you can, try lowering your graphics card options. I lowered some of the settings in my Radeon X800 - such as mipmap detail level and texture preference. I set these to High Performance (as opposed to High Quality), and also turned off VSync, Anti Aliasing, and Anisotropic filtering. While it won't make the game run at 80 FpS, it can help its performance. It did on mine, but I decided to stick with most of the option on the high end.

Torment is one RPG, not all of them. There are RPGs which both adhere to your description as well as defy it.

Also in this week's edition of Conspiracy Nut, read all about how America is really being controlled by psyched out voodoo midget aliens... From Russia!

I've been fearing it since the 80's.

Patching the game will correct several bugs, but performance issues will remain, unfortunately. I have heard that the problem will basically disappear using 1 Gb of RAM, but I can't confirm it since I only have 768.

Edited for clarity.

Damn right it does

I'm a social parasite.

It's a good, even if not unheard of, idea. One thing that generally puts me off in Star Wars games is being forced to play as a Jedi, when the whole universe and mythos are deeper than that, with many more characters and possibilities.
