Did they change what the extended cut was going to include? All I read was "cutscenes" and "cinematics" to further explain the endings. So if that's the case, and there's no actual new game play for the player, why is the file so large? Are they giving us a 30-minute movie to explain away the silliness? Most likely a number of voiced cut scenes showing how things ended in various places of the galaxy. Sort of like the old Fallout slideshows, but with higher production values

That's why I have to stay away from Steam's website most of the time. I don't even dare checking exactly how many games I've bought that I haven't gotten around to play yet. Deus Ex (the latest one), GTA games, Skyrim, Saints Row 2+3 just to mention a few

Best toy? Lego. 70's kid here as in we had to use our imagination and creativity to entertain ourselves Never cared much for those episodic commercials that is supposed to shift units of plastic toys over the counter. I seem remember something called 'Zoids' which was patently silly.

Ah yes, remind me to punch somebody in the face next time they suggest stem cell research is unethical. They might not grow on trees, but I'm fairly sure in a decade or so, they grow in vats. Made to order. We take all major credit cards. Thumbs up for getting some quality time with your daughter and giving adversity the middle finger mate. I won't even pretend to understand what you are going through, but damn you go through it with style. Click on your profile/user name.

Wouldn't the fine be tax deductable? It's a work related expense

Maybe they just have a rubberstamp with 2 million on it which they use on their budgets for new games? I somehow suspect a typo or a paragraph ended up in the wrong place. THQ isn't even the publisher, so why the heck would *they* need to shift 2 million units? Isn't advertising and PR the responsibility of the publisher? Maybe they get a performance bonus if they can get that many copies into peoples hands through their distribution channels?

Kind of dull I know, but my first 3 play-throughs of Kotor2 were as 'Gorth' I played it once as female too, but I don't remember the name. Something suitably monosyllabic. Started a few more games than actually finished though. Also all male. For Kotor1 it follows the same pattern, finished twice as a male 'Gorth' and once as a female.

The original was a bit like an exercise in strategy and cryptology I never got the hang of that one, but it didn't stop me from buying EUIII when I spotted it one day a long time ago walking past an EB Games store. Not sure if it was the interface or just the lack of introduction that didn't prepare you for the learning curve. I bought V2 not that long ago and just grabbed A House Divided during Paradox's current sale. It can line up in the queue of games that waits for me to eventually get around and play them

Heh, my first Paradox purchase was the original Victoria from the bargain bin in a store. Paid $5 for it. Took a long time to get the hang of it. The EU games are masterpieces of userfriendliness and polish compared to that first experience Never tried EU2 or earlier, nor the CK games before Tig's enthusiasm for CK2 rubbed off, so I don't know what they were like. Rule #1 when playing EUIII is to disable lucky nations. Otherwise you end up speaking French before you can say "Pardonnez Moi?" My first experience with EUIII (before the NA expansion) was quite positive. Only major turnoff was the very clunky merchant system (no auto send merchants to markets). Bought that one and EUIII: Rome as physical boxes at full price. Loved both despite their quirks. ...and yes, I also bought Magicka, Dungeon Defenders and Warlock - Master of the Arcane. The humour of the former two appeals to me and Warlock is a very neat little strategy/empire building game.

I haven't played MM since it was released for vanilla EU3 or some such a long time ago. At least I think it was the mod. In it's current form, I doubt it adds significantly to the game. Not saying it doesn't add value, but the game with expansions is already pretty darn good. Only thing from top of my head in really dire need of reworking is naval combat. Seriously, a sea battle taking 6 months of constant mutual shelling to resolve? I know artillery wasn't quite as good in the past, but seriously. Not sure where the Magicka hate comes from. The game is awesome. So is Victoria 2, Crusader Kings 2 and Hearts of Iron III.

If you make a lucky guess, you can get 3700+ words (just trying out the limits of the system). I think I got around 475 or so in first try. Then tried it again without reading and just answering the questions right away.

Maybe the male North American Face-Eater gets all territorial during breeding season? -
Playing a bit of Trine 2 to take a break from Warlock - Master of the Arcane. It's like the guys making the game went completely overboard with the eyecandy, but I don't mind.

New Humble Indie Bundle - Psychonauts, Bastion, Amnesia, LIMBO
Gorth replied to Humodour's topic in Computer and Console
That's how I understood it too. Most bundles so far has offered either direct download and Steam/Other keys and some larger files a torrent option seeded by Humble Bundle. -
Still playing a bit of Warlock - Master of the Arcane. One of my better investments

Because they do have an overhead per transaction. If you already have most of the games, at least donate some more to the charities (besides what you feel like paying for the one or two games you don't have), just so they don't actually have an expense on what is essentially a gesture of trust. Oh, and I see Krezack already beat me to it... -
Seems to have passed somewhat beyond the 500 post finishing line... more thread here

Start of old thread End of old thread Why do they even bother calling it "Tomb Raider"??? >_ Currently installing the TR 1+2+3 package from GOG. Probably the best one can hope for in a foreseeable future.

Didn't LA whine that KotOR 2 was too dark for the regular SW feel? Probably the same guys who were in denial about Han shooting first.

There is still a way to go from hating them to defacing them (bad pun). So, the stuff the guy was high on is apparantly something unusual. Reminds me a bit of that old 80's trash movie, Return of the Living dead. Except that stuff came in barrels. -

Gorth replied to Humodour's topic in Computer and Console
Since I've got allmost all the previous ones (except one that was all smart phone apps), I might just get this one. Not at least because this time I only have one of the games already. And yeah, don't be a cheapskate, if necessary give more to the charity part. -
General Vincent van GOG... At least it looks like they test the games. I have to have the TR I+II+III package. Just for the ability to run it on my current PC. Edit: Carmageddon Max Pack Eek!!!
