Read some of the first books. Interesting enough, but too 'slow' paced and too much, not sure what, but the stuff that makes you want to put the protagonist over your knee, spank him and tell him to man himself up a bit. Wielder of the White Gold my butt. Whiny ass emo is what he is

Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Ch26 (Mae'Var)
Gorth replied to Tigranes's topic in Computer and Console
Pidesco does 13 damage to Gorth...what did I do??? Poor Calax. A shame TrueNeutral didn't get to turn into a werewolf in the sewer battle. Is it only the Wolfwere that has ridiculous regenerative abilities? -
There are some pretty hilarious road signs around the world. Saw somebody collect some of the best on a webpage once. Sadly, I don't have the link anymore (it was a decade ago, but I guess a quick search on Google images would more than make up for it). One of the more amusing I remember actually seeing was from Wellington, NZ, which warned against penguins on the road.

A zombie plague outbreak would have sounded more likely Still, they need to work on getting those debt levels down (moving the ceiling wont help) or they'll end up like Italy.

Heh, lonliness What game is that?

I've got exactly 1 friend on my friend list (and achievements needs to die horribly, what a waste of developer resources). I do like the patching part though, as some of those Paradox games gets patches fairly frequently and it would be a hassle constantly checking their forums for when what game got what update.

Sorry to say Hurlshot, but that doesn't sound like 'different perspective'... that sounds like 'mind set in stone' and will twist any event to fit a particular worldview. Well, we don't always get to chose our family, but it seems like you made the right choice with your wife (she obviously means the world to you)

Ok, serious Mass Effect 1 question: Having played through that part twice, I still sit with a WTF expression on my face when it comes to the introduction of Cerberus. What I don't get is the 'Banes' part. It starts with thugs blackmailing Dr. Mitchell (sp?). You then chase the thugs away and get their boss' name. You then follow that lead and get told by Admiral Kahoku that he has been dead for years, oh btw. be a good guy and go find out what happened in the location his body was found. Ok, so who the heck was blackmailing the Dr.??? Cerberus doesn't strike me as somebody who is into racketeering and extortion of small businesses and individuals, their scope seems a lot larger than that (i.e. more like white collar crime if anything).

Thread getting a bit long (way past the 500 mark). More thread here

Start of old thread End of old thread Almost finished my second play through of Mass Effect 1. Will share my thoughts later when finished with the second game. Didn't have 'Bring Down the Sky' for the first game, since the Electronic Arts help page had an 'expired' Serial No. They have since "reset" the serial no. and customers who bought ME retail or Steam can get it there. Edit: "Been playing Galactic Civilization 2…I am never leaving the house again…"... is that the Stardock game?

M4-78EP and TSLRCM 1.8.2 RELEASED!
Gorth replied to Hassat Hunter's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Thanks HH, off to download it. I suppose the safest thing is to uninstall previous versions rather than install "on top" of 1.8? (Yes, I know, I could read the readme's) -
It's so next-gen. Does it come with xpad controller support too? Edit: On a more serious note, I usually use Notepad++ and XMLPad for the quick and dirty stuff. Might have to see what Sublime Text is all about. Is she a nice girl?

Don't ask anyone, Do what I did: walk against a concrete beam Just do at a higher speed than me. I'm still concious so it didn't work... That's an all or nothing proposition... if it works, it's good. If it doesn't, you get a headache in addition to insomnia

Worth it, do you think? I'm disappointed they won't actually get a move on with KB2. Loved Legend & AP but didn't try Crossworlds. I'll tell you guys once I find the time to actually play them I tried both briefly and seemed like great games (always subject to taste, I like my turn based combat, thank you very much). Warriors of the North is like an improved version of Armored Princess (disclaimer - no idea how the campaign pans out if played in full) and Fallen Enchantress looked very promising what little I managed to dig into it (not a lot, so take with a sack of salt, not enough play time to get a feel for balance, challenge etc.).

It's 30 degrees (Celcius) here, waiting for the sun to set a bit before venturing out (and braving the holes in ozone layer) for some shopping Generally just procrastinating and catching up on all the "to-do" stuff that had piled up since last New Year (which was the last time I had some time off from work and didn't travel somewhere).

Yeah, I discovered that a while ago. Even my old copy of Dead Space could be registered there and downloaded rather than reading from scratchy old DVDs I've redeemed a lot of games on Steam, but trying to think of games actually bought through Steam these holiday sales (well, Ok, the last 2 months)... Jade Empire Elemental: Fallen Enchantress Endless Space - Emperor Special Edition Air Conflicts Pacific Carriers Air Conflicts: Secret War Orcs Must Die 2 - Complete Pack King's Bounty: Warriors of the North Most of them on heavily discounted sales (I cheated and peeked at my account page).

Almost out of the game market... or just a transition?
Gorth replied to Magister Lajciak's topic in Computer and Console
One of the reasons I never touch a Ubisoft title again. Not that I wasn't tempted by the original Assassins Creed when it was on sale. I grudgingly caved in and installed Origin (because I already had an EA account from the past), making it the only (inferior) Steam copy so far. Besides Ubisoft titles, anything with GFWL on the sticker gets to stay on the shelf too (Little Lamplight isn't the only reason I didn't bother reinstalling FO3). So yeah, I can understand the sentiment The entire idea behind things like Steam and Origin is control and tying the customer to the publisher, so they can target their sales efforts and reap your money through sales and microtransactions. Insidious, but it seems to work. Most of my purchases these days happens through Gamersgate, GoG and Humble Bundle. -

There are a few exceptions Gorth is an XCOM Operative? Fighting a unification war? Favourite pet peeves... people who mutilates English by thinking that site/sight, through/threw, horde/hoard etc. are interchangeable

Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Ch26 (Mae'Var)
Gorth replied to Tigranes's topic in Computer and Console
For this particular LP, I think it's neither? It's just Tigranes playing solo and sharing his experiences (and embellishing and elaborating a bit here and there). All communication happens in this thread. -
I don't know if anybody has been following the news in Egypt recently. I know we had a 'Syria' thread, but couldn't really find anything about Egypt. Egypt opposition leaders face 'incitement' probe '...and so it begins' I suppose few people are truly surprised. The old dictator is gone and a new dictator starts consolidating power by persecuting the opposition leaders and removing them. Question is, are islamist dictators an improvement over secular dictators? I would put my bets on 'Not'. Will Egypt become the next Iran? I suppose the only thing preventing them from joining forces is the insurmountable barrier of their differences (Shiite/Sunni).

Gorth replied to Tigranes's topic in Computer and Console
I think our leader has grown rather callous over the last few adventures Where the heck *did* the dogmeat go?... maybe it fell out of your inventory if it (protagonists) was already full when mixing the stew?
