Yeah, it might come back to bite you VMBL was fun enough the first 2/3 way through, because the excellent atmosphere of the game enabled you to forget the crappy combat. The last 1/3 unfortunately was a long grind of boring combat. Probably about the time they ran out of time/money on the project (just me guessing). Arcanum didn't appeal to me (I don't like steampunk/victorian settings) and ToEE is lying on my shelf waiting to be installed and played. Just trying to figure out which mods/fixes to search for.

...and a lone wanderer was trekking across the wastland in search of a mythical place

I don't know if it makes any difference for PS:T but I was despairing in a similar way over BG2 that refused to run on my system without constant flicker and weird graphics. On a sudden impulse (the voices in my head) I tried to use the 3D acceleration option in BG2 Setup and lo and behold, the game ran. Then I tried some mods from G3, which made both BG2 and IWD crash here and there and generally behave oddly, so I play with vanilla plus the very old Baldurdash fixes (yes, unzipping a megaton of zip files by hand). Regarding BG2 and graphics, I never found out if it was an ATI or a Vista issue, but gone it is now.

Looks like what needs to be said in this thread was already said on the first few pages... Good luck and hope to see you soon again Edit: I could have sworn it was March already in my timezone

Thanks >_

I could only browse through numbers 100-50. Do you need to be a subscriber or something to see the rest or am I just missing something obvious? Unless Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway, James D. Sachs, Ian Bell, David Braben, Mike Singleton, Anthony Crowther and Jeff Minter are to find among the second half, this would be a "The Top 100 Game Creators of All Time" in name only >_

We'll give it a try. None of us takes our end of week gaming session too seriously, so "hectic" shouldn't bother us too much. You should see the atrocious performances we give in Halo sometmes

Funcrocs secret is a time travelling device

Hey, that Geometry Wars 2 thing looked awesoem (checked out a few gameplay videos) Thanks Llyranor, I'll tell my director to go get that game (it's his xbox360). That should look very good/psychedelic when played through our projector on a big white wall Edit: For various reasons, Aussies are just not into hockey. I'll see if I can find something out about N+... has to be something people can still play after a beer or two and for max a couple of hours

Played a bit of PGR4 on Friday afternoon in our boardroom (with accompanying beer, chips and peanuts)... fun enough I suppose, but it doesn't seem to support 4 players on one console. Any fun games for not really gamers that supports up to 4 players out there (we already got Halo3) ? Project Gotham Racing 2 did, but that one doesn't run on the 360

Yikes, I did wonder where he had been for quite a while now Hope is going to be OK

*looks left*... *looks right*... Looks like the original topic has evapourated a bit. This sounds more like stuff for C&C so I closing it for now. Feel free to create a new thread when new ideas pop up

I didn't get into the Kings/Space Quest games or the Lucas Arts games, just wasn't my cup of tea at the time I suppose. Why ruin perfectly good adventure games with crappy gfx and "point and click" interface. Talk about dumbing down a genre I think the first "modern" (post 8 bit) games that made me laugh were things like the original Worms and Lemmings. The humour in Grim Fandango was something special too

Start of old thread End of old thread Waiting for the first major title where you fight against evil bankers

The thread is getting a bit long. Continued here

Guys... don't get them started again! I don't care about the ME franchise, yet I would still rather read about that (ME2).

Citizenship is much overrated. Said the guy who has been living in foreign countries without the right to vote for a number of years now

Take care DR, don't stay away too long and don't become a stranger during your absence.

Ah, can't help you there, sorry. Not for lack of interest, but I haven't had the time to check out the demo yet. Work, life and all that I think I am going to reserve the easter holidays for gaming

I think this thread sums up the collective knowledge of Drakensang so far. I seem to remember somebody looking at the demo on the third page

That trailer did leave a bit to be desired didn't it? That is, judging by the passion that the relationship between EA and Bioware seems to generate compared to the trailer.

Whoa man, throttle back. Way back. I know, one of the caveats to this is that I meet her before she comes over. Why does this sound eerily like a Nigerian Bank Scam? If she asks for money or your bank account details, call the cops right away. Don't follow her alone into dark alleys and always carry a cell phone with the police number pre-programmed on a hot dial thing.

The BMW lotto? I used to win millions every fortnight from the UK Lottery. Then I switched E-Mail address and was a bit more careful with who I gave it to. Not to mention getting mails from associates of ex-rulers/dictators every day that needed my help (and bank account) to get money out of the country. Another classic is the overseas company that wants you to work for them as a money collector, offering you 10% of the money you collect for them >_

That guy has an unhealthy fixation with all things underage and violent, doesn't he? >_
