Age of Decadence seems to be in the right track, if you can stomach communist-funded independent projects of course. I've been recently made aware of Star Fox: Shadows of Lylat, which seems like something to look out for. It's a fan made game project that runs on the FreeSpace_Open engine but the team is hoping to make the final build a standalone game. The trailer looks nice.

Wii Sports.

Not sure if this has been brought up but I've found a trailer for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie sequel. Titled Rise of the Silver Surfer, it's set to be released on June 15, 2007. Click for trailer selection. It basically shows the Human Torch and Silver Surfer in some cat and mouse antics. While I didn't found the first movie anything noteworthy, I think I'll be on the lookout for this if only because the Surfer finally gets some righteous on-screen treatment.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, or if it's a problem associated with the new software. But everytime I close my browser, I get logged out of the boards. I'm using Firefox 2.0 on XP Home SP2, and I've made sure the browser does not clear cookies, authenticated sessions and passwords. But I still get logged off, and this is the only forum where it happens.

Ok, why do I have 40 visitors to my profile? You people are scaring me. Seriously.

Twilight Princess and Paper Mario arrived today. I'm afraid my brain will explode the minute I try choosing which one to play first.

The excess of negligible enemies that bogged down certain combat instances were mainly an issue about area design and specific encounter design rather than the encounter system itself. I can't remember one single random encounter that featured 25 rats, but I can remember a handful of areas that had predetermined enemy types and amounts: Trapper Town, the Klamath tunnels, Modoc, Redding - all had considerably large areas or drawn out combat sequences which involved killing rats with a meager amount of HPs. Same applies to the pitifuly weak ants in the Broken Hills mine.

Yeah, UFO: Alien Invasion seems to have come a long way. I kept up with the project through some support on their forums when they started out, but eventually I moved on and completely forgot about them. I would give the game a chance now if I wasn't drowning in work.

Being alanschu is a bit easier, you may want to try that

Excellent. My new computer will be most happy to welcome this when it comes out.

Eurogamer has written an article about 5 strategy games they believe should be played by everyone. There's a brief comment about the titles along with links to the official pages of each game. The titles are: The Battle For Wesnoth UFO: Alien Invasion C-Evo 1848 Cry Havoc: Test of Faith If you're not too busy being alanschu or Llyranor, you can follow the link and read up on those titles.

Broken Flowers. Been a long time since a movie's ending left me feeling so empty.

I'd volunteer to disappear.

Fair enough. Downloading!

Thanks, Josh Is the time trial removal legal? The screens reminded me of Alien Breed Tower Assault.

I remember taking quite a few followers with me once into the Enclave, then pumping them with drugs and telling them to rush enemies. Meanwhile I stayed back sniping Enclave soldiers with Plasma weapons. Fun times. Gory ones, too.

Hey, how's Animal Crossing: Wild World? I know Josh was playing it some time ago... I heard some of it takes advantage of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection though I don't plan on using it.

Forum drama is HEATING UP!

It happens. Apologies for any inconvenience.
