So... England won and Germany lost their first game. Guard Dog, do you have room for a guest for a while at your place??? Just until after the apocalypse

Just curious now... SATA M2 or PCI M2? There is a significant difference (little to no difference between SSD and SATA M2 SSD) I do know my old 5400 RPM laptop drive feels slow like molasses by comparison to any of the above

"Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't." - Nazeem Or as we liked to call it, "feel like playing a game, set the game to load, watch your favorite movie, then go and play your favorite game..." Some clever developers started using the loading time by first loading a mini game or music piece that would play while the game was loading from the tape... colloquially known as load games and load music. Heck, the loader music from Comic Bakery probably ended up being way more famous back then than the game (nobody remembers the game) http://youtu.be/Pa6sFNXyOPQ

World Cups haven't been the same since South Africa... I miss Paul the Psychic Octopus The tentacled prophet stole the show.

Ooh... Tzeentch may be very disappointed in you... or not. Depends on the bigger plans

No Borderlands 3... E3 is dead to me >_

Start of old thread End of old thread So, what do you want to share with facebook, google and every other online spy and monitoring service out there?

...and the inevitable happened. Moved to spoiler friendly section

Kinds of games: Games featuring exploration... Tomb Raider (the original, not the awful remake) and Baldurs Gate may not seem to have much in common, but they did. They offered excellent "exploration" experiences and the sense of discovering new and unknown areas. Same with Elite, Lords of Midnight etc. Games featuring turn based tactical combat games... Master of Orion 2, Space Rangers 2, X-Com 3: Apocalypse and Jagged Alliance 2 springs to mind. All were great fun and I kept replaying them over and over and over (etc.) Games featuring good simulations... Yeah, I grew up with Microprose, SSG, SSI and their likes. C64 strategy games, Commodore Amiga flight sims (and submarine sims, looking at you Silent Service!), Populous (god sims too!) etc. I probably forgot something...

Doing the wrong things wrong is just a bloody waste of time. Doing the wrong things right is... shooting yourself in the foot. Doing the right things wrong, gives you an A for affort but is still missing the point. Doing the right things right is where it's at. Question of my own, how much do you value intent behind peoples actions. Can you enjoy a gesture if not done in good faith?

Last time that happened to me, I found a new job... boredom kills your spirit. As for the Death Star, I wonder who insurer was?... I think they actually covered that weakness in one of the movies, wasn't it Rogue One? The guy who designed the whole thing deliberately left he weakness there and went out of his way to hide it from his masters and overlords so it could be exploited later. Cue disposable Bothans. Maybe they were Catholics? Now I want to watch Monty Pythons "The Meaning of Life" again...

My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I think the "main" quest had bits and pieces of it voiced? Like the Baldurs Gate games? Maybe it's only in my mind. But yeah, reading the mission texts mostly.

There should be re-education camps where people were forced to play this until they learned to love it. Up there with 'Elite' and 'Lords of Midnight' in pure genius. Sadly the kind of games that just seems impossible to recapture the "magic" of. Same thing with Master of Orion 2 imho.

The downside of a long gaming history... too many to chose from, as any "era" (or decade) would have it's top 3. New/Modern RPG's my top 3 would be Fallout 2 Planescape: Torment Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn They were great games and are still fairly recent. Earlier games (1980's and early 90's on the c64 and Amiga) still impressed me more in some ways, but they may not be something people would agree are "RPG" by todays standards. Edit to add some examples: Ultima IV Rogue Lords of Midnight (still my all time favourite game, any genre, hands down, even beating Elite)

Not sure how long each of my two toons took, a grand total of 3 hours to get a human warrior to 5 and a blood elf mage to 7. Bear in mind, I had to learn the mini map, the vendor locations (which all seem to follow a pattern), watching cinematics, getting a feel for how much opposition I could handle without getting myself killed and listening to all the dialogue from the quest givers (since I've never seen them before) etc. etc. Also spend (wasted) some time trying to change the quick bars, but gave up eventually.

I joined the dark side and gave WoW a try. The starter pack is free after all. Through perseverance, I made it to level 7 before I gave ip. I was bored mindless and regretted the 30+ gb download. At least it didn't cost me any money edit: still, it's better than Black Desert Online which I tried when they had a free weekend. Spend triple the time on the character designer than I did in-game, only making it to level 2 before uninstalling.

No Was and LoF were the same person, Oby came after. Right you are

I wonder if Wals and Oby was the same person... like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were the same person

Hey, it's spelled g r e y !!!

I know its not an international custom, but you you celebrate Halloween in your country? Should children be prevented from trick-or-treating? Can't speak for all countries of course, but I'm fairly sure it's unknown in it's US form in Scandinavia (Denmark has something similar, but themed around witch burning) and neither Germany, UK, NZ or Australia knows it as anything other than "that US thing"

I've taken a liking to this lately... while tasty on it's own, it's like it was made for Camomille Tea (which is how I discovered it in the first place, felt sorry for myself while having a cold).

I got it on a steam sale. On my to-do list for the upcoming weekend.

No videos, but if anyone is planning on watching 'The Wizard of Oz' in your own country/city, I can warmly recommend it. It was a fantastic performance.

Playing it safe, moved to spoiler friendly forum Yeah, need more tentacles in video games

why would that annoy anyone? It's a shallow game, Diablo with guns or whatnot. But I found it that type of genre fun. It was also great to play with my husband. That's it. ... in terms of E3, what about Bethesda? They put a pic on their twitter that seem to imply ... something. Not that I care much about them these days. What projects to they have in the works? lol Thanks. I understand that Borderlands has its own fanbase and I didn't want to offend said fanbase, so I gave a bit of a warning before I stated that I found the games to be boring. Nothing wrong in not liking it. Different tastes and all that I can tell you what the attraction was for me, it was the dark humor, the absurdity of the characters (Handsome Jack is my all time favourite villain) and the bizarre dialogue at times. No other games will ever have a mission like the one where you have to shoot Face McShooty in the face, nor any dialogue that hilarious. Characters and voice actors were top notch (Obsidian could learn something).... But most of all, the game was awesome in coop and I had the luck of playing most of it with two friends. No end to the hilarity when trying to "raise" a Goliath from infancy to GOD-Liath Ultimate Mega-Badass difficulty in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. It was like being proud parents Just to wipe afterwards getting swamped by psychotic midgets with cleavers. Yeah, good times. I managed to get a character to level 72 and pass the first challenge at Digistruct Peak, so now OP1 ("Overpowe Level 1", which means all enemies are now one level higher than they would be for a level 72)
