It's great. A highly under-appreciated game that combines a host of different gameplay types. When you installed the xcom games from steam did you have to do any configuring to get them going ot was it just install and play? Gamersgate, not steam (I'm not a steam fan). Install. Click on desktop shortcut. Play

I bought the x-com complete (or whatever it's called) package off Gamersgate a while ago. I't came with preconfigured DosBox wrappers, enabling it to run on 64bit Windows 7. X-Com 3 is the only game to rival Jagged Alliance 2 in sheer awesomeness in its combat.

It was seriously tempting changing the sub-title into 'Never gonna give you up' Not into the RTS games, but there are still two handfuls of titles on my wishlist there. Some of the extras are nice, like wallpapers, soundtracks etc.

I remember wanting to punch him at the time... Much of the humour was in the detail, like the floating texts, combat messages, the awkward situations you ended up in etc. FO2 was more hit and miss gags, a lot of it feeling contrived, even within the setting. Not all bad though.

Everything is easy for Brujah. You can even kill the garou. Never tried playing Brujah, only Tremere, Malkavian, Nosferatu and Toreador Most fun play through was Nosferatu in my third game of VMBL Nothing like sitting in front of your screen and bursting out laughing because something completely unexpected happens... like going to the diner to talk to the lady behind the counter when finding Lily (at least I think that was the one). Killed the werewolf (eventually, after many tries), by crushing it.

The new Awesome Button Technology ® seems to indicate that they are trying to become the Michael Bay of the gaming industry. I liked ME2, but I worry about where they are currently headed (if DA2 is any indicator). Combat in in ME2 was mind numbingly dull, all action and no tactics. I've also developed an irrational dislike of corridors The characters and diverse story elements was what kept it together for me.

The Kuei-jin boss fight disagrees Larry's quest was definitely "easier", if actually more time consuming to do the sneaky/obfuscate way. You get more skill points too by not being seen if I remember correctly (3 instead of 2).

Ah yes, those modern, mass produced games that all the new kids fancied. They had nothing on the old classics like Temple of Apshai or Lords of Midnight

I've never done a full playthrough of ME as Jane Shepard. Nothing to do with fear, just lack of interest. I played through ME2 several times, but only once as female (and what a struggle that was). It's just unnatural

The nervous, almost hysterical laughter of people not knowing how to set Irq and DMA channels in the audio setup Maybe older games just left a stronger impression because you had to use your imagination to make up for the shortcomings in presentation? Never underestimate the power of imagination.

I've never cared much for dogs, but always had a weak spot for cats Edit: @Oner: I'm so going to steal that one for a relative of mine

Increasingly typical? How else would you explain Berlusconi?

Theres a LOT of english words like this that have become everyday speech in other languages. Mostly for no real reason, though. Yeah, often names and technical terms will be used in their English version in Danish. Download is a good example. I know that German software makers go way overboard with translating everything (and I mean everything, as in obsessive compulsive) into their own language in their software. Download just makes more sense than Herunter Laden. If for no other reason, because the translated version sounds exactly like what it is, something that is translated and wouldn't normally be said that way in your native language All that Italian makes me hungry for some reason though

I expect the commercial version of this apparatus to be used to cheat outrageously at sports events. Watch the super goal keeper that never misses a save!

Proportionally spaced fonts for the win. Funny thing is, if you hit the reply button and look at the text, it makes sense (the spacing seems to work there, unlike when the post is submitted) Edit:

Yep, with magic bullets. Which he had saved specifically for the boss fight. Looks interesting. Didn't like the bit about their artists getting lured away to work on somebody elses MMO though

Wasn't the original DS just Progress Quest with a new rendering engine? What the 'fans' of the game loved, seems to be the rather generous multiplayer features it offered (if the feed back in the DSIII section is anything to go by).

I'm sure he used to post on these forums every now and then in the past >_

No, I don't believe in the concept of nation states. What began in 1648 should have died in 1918. Unfortunately, it didn't. As for alternatives, well, plenty to chose from. I'm sure Lord of Flies could give a treatise in one of them For myself, I know what I wish for only would come about as a result of a cataclysmic event, so I don't get my hopes up. A meritocratic society based on a significantly smaller human population, delegating menial/hazardous tasks to automatons and robots. Not bloody likely to ever happen. Unlike some idealists, my head is still attached to my shoulders

Behold!

The sun and beaches looked good in the brochures They forgot to mention the UV index and box jellyfish of course, but that's marketing for you.

A bit offtopic, yes, but here is his obituary.

Oww... you missed out on the greatest of the 'A's, Australia! Just kidding, those who knows me knows my contempt for nationalism/patriotism as an archaic, mind limiting concept that should have been wiped out post 1918. Zoraptor sort of got the right of it in a previous post, the fight is not for a 'free Libya', but for a different leadership representing other factions. Catch phrases and standard accusations presented on a need basis to sell the idea to the outside world, where a couple of politicians finally get to play warlords too for the benefit of their own political careers.

Thread pruned a bit. Lets try to keep work and fun separate?
