'A' must be Intelligence

You should try "Lemmings" (if you haven't already)

Not having had a car for more than 6 years, I signed the papers and paid the deposit for a motorcycle yesterday. It should be ready for me to pick up on Thursday (they didn't have the colour I wanted in stock). Now I just need an mp3 player and some Steppenwolf

The only characters I remember feeling truly protective of were my lemmings in the game of the same name

Man, that must have taken some serious war score to wrest that kind of stuff from the big blue blob of death My Byzantine empire makes up the eastern Mediterranean and parts of Arabia. I control Rome, Jerusalem and Mecca for some nice bonuses. I still havent had the guts to start a border war with France yet. Fortunately for me, Bohemia broke the Transsylvanian empire apart, so I can now pinch a few of their southern provinces, hopefully drawing Croatia into the conflict too. Some complicated diplomacy. I want to conquer Croatia, but they are allied with France. However, they are also allied with Transylvania, so if I declare war on the latter, I might ending up taking both without going to war with France

Did they actually burn the Danish flag? From the clips I've seen they usually have a bunch of American ones ready to go, but have to improvise when some other country pisses them off. They did more than that. Although, as you said, in the beginning they didn't have any danish flags (the stores only keep Israeli and US flags in stock), so they had to improvise with paper and crayons. Didn't take long for them to get proper danish flags to burn though. Then came the violence, tens of thousands of protestors, attacks on consulates and embassies, scores of dead and wounded, a significant dollar loss (significant for a small country that is) of exports, having to explain to the Norwegians why their bases in Afghanistan got attacked too (because they didn't know that there was any difference)

I don't remember a Panda, but I do remember a UFO that was a "skimmer" and glided over the race track There was a similar game around at the time that I never really managed to find (so I only know it from hearsay) where you duelled in little Airfix modelplanes, being a multiplayer combat flight simulator.

that rings a bell - racing RC cars right? Yes

Anybody ever played Re-Volt? Funniest multiplayer racing game I remember (from Lan parties).

I don't think I ever beat them at the mine, hence my comment about a "fighting withdrawal". Use the cover of the buildings to create kill zones and thin out enemy numbers. Roofs are your friend (just don't pick the roof edge that faces all of them), withdraw to the northern edge and run for it, hopefully having thinned out their numbers. Then return in true MacArthur style and claim the mine a bit later. You might want to go for the Chitzena mine first.

Have you tried running towards them yelling "Butt kicking for goodness!"? The Drassen counter attack is indeed scripted and a good challenge for experienced players Have you tried a fighting retreat and then coming back with reinforcements? Edit: It is also possible to disable it in the configuration file, although I don't know if you have to do that before starting the game.

You might as well try and convince people that the earth is round...

Gorths simplified science: Bash it with a hammer. It breaks? Try new theory It doesn't break? Good enough, lets keep it Can't really say I've experienced anything of the sorts from the thread title. The things that has scared me has been my own over stimulated imagination. But man, can your imagination play tricks on you. Perceived things can be as convincing as real things where the mind is concerned.

Getting a bit long in the postcount this thread is... Here be dragons

Oops, sorry Alan... Same topic Yeah, I know, you beat me by 30 seconds

Start of old thread End of old thread Wow. Wow indeed. Where did Malak leave his artificial jaw? From what I have heard of the Dwarf Noble, definitely yes. There is one choice in the Dwarf Noble story that I know will play out a bit differently when you return to Orzammar in the main plot. It's not a huge difference, but for me it's the little details that are different that I still enjoy I could see the mage having some as well, and probably the City Elves. Changes/decisions in the origin story usually aren't too significant. It'd be awesome if there was more significance, but the game still needs to steer the player along towards the main plot at some point. The big thing that I really like is that the rest of the game does make acknowledgments to your origin story. I only played through with Human Noble, so I imagine most of my origin story can only be acknowledged somewhat superficially (there was some bigger impacts at the end game though, due to my noble heritage), but I would think that the Dwarf stories, as well as the Mage and City Elf stories, have much greater potential as you actually revisit the areas you were in in your origin story.

Hey, that looked pretty interesting. Alpha version... sounds like that is for a new campaign after the current one

Not sure what would qualify as 'classics'... Probably some arbitrary thing as game that will be remembered more fondly in the future than in the present So, what would they be remembered for? Long time spent playing? Stunning visuals/audio? Funky game design/mechanics? Innovative features/concepts? Looking back at the past 5 years, I don't really see what would make the current crop 'classics' (disclaimer: I probably haven't played a lot of the "popular" games the last 5 years either)

I've never heard anybody complain about Lara Croft being a woman in Tomb Raider. It would just feel "odd" somehow if the next installment let you play as Larry Croft

It seems like the point of no return for this thread has been reached How about a recess, a cold shower, a deep breath, we are after all talking about video games, not infant mortality in Africa or some such?

VTM: Bloodlines. Ouch... That game is horribly unoptimised. I used to have a P4 2.8Ghz / Nvidia FX5900 Ultra / 2Gb ram desktop, and it was sluggish on that one. It might be possible to get it to run, but I doubt that it will run at a playable speed, i.e. it might not be fun.

Edit: After that, it would probably be Battlefield 1942

Did a bit of background check on "Tali" in ME. Sounds a bit like a Battlestar Galactica season ripoff Machines created for menial work rebels, wage war on their creators and oust them, creating a migrant fleet.
