Painkiller ("Heaven has a hitman") Mindless, furious action from start to finish. Just plain fun. Released around 2004 I think.

Agreed Time to play nice again. (aimed at no single troll in particular)

I wish I had time to check it out, but once I finish The Witcher EE, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky is up next for presumably quite a while. Anyway, I better leave the podium here for those who do appreciate Fallout 3.

Channel Z can now be found in this successor thread

Start of old thread End of old thread I hate FO3. There, I said it. No rational reason for it whatsoever. Haven't played it. Don't intend to. I am a bitter old skull

Well, I did wonder at the very first if some fellow forumite felt bored and wanted to pull a prank, but he seems to be gone again. Maybe he got abducted?

That is my take on it too.

Do these even exist at this point in time?!?! Seagate makes some nice 1.5TB drives. Get 2 of those and you are covered for the next 6-12 months

Fallout was in many ways "better" and felt more consistent throughout the game. Fallout 2 (and BG1 for that matter) had way too many easter eggs. However, the simple improvments in inventory management and sheer size of the game just gave so many hours more of joy. Fallout 1 was too short. Fallout 2 gets the vote.

Never heard those words before... But Google to the rescue with a link! Urban Dictionary on Juggalos/Lettes I don't think I qualify.

How about just doing away with marriages alltogether (as a legal status) and then have civil unions for all? Then they could leave it up to people of different faiths how they want to reconcile a legal, civil union with their traditional wedding rituals

Probably laundry powder Wasn't it all just part of being "retro sci-fi perspective"? Trying to match reality with fictive game settings always results in head aches. IMO of course.

That was much better than anything I could ever think of saying There is a bit more to the history though. LA Games back then had gotten the ultimatum (together with a number of other of Lucas' subsidiaries) that they had to become financially viable and stand on their own legs. No more uncle Lucas to bail them out every time they screw up. LA had to make cuts, both on deadlines, ambition levels and number of games in development in order to meet those demands. They seem to be doing well finanically now though, but the Kotor franchise as such is stone dead. It is after all called "The Old Republic", not "Knights of the Old Republic".

Heh, makes you wonder what they *did* expect from something that was give the terms and conditions of an expansion pack.

Not necessarily a fact. Maybe they just got greedy and wanted to find the holy grail of money printing and decided that their not limitless funds would give better ROI per dollar in such an enterprise (a MMO game)? It "seems" like every publisher wants a piece of the MMO cake these days. Bioware ended up with no less than TWO publishers with previous MMO experience (LA and EA).

I think I am getting close to the end... Fighting a big hentai monster in the sewers together with my pointy eared ally. I almost managed to get the Elder Druid all the stuff he needed for their rising against the loggers and those cruel to animals, but I couldn't find any white roses (I had a diamond, a silken scarf and the herb he wanted). Did I miss out on anything or was it just a fun addition to the game (he gave me potions in return for my items, no quest log entries seemed to have been created)?!? I had given up on the dentist with the name that sounds suspiciously like the German word for tooth ache (Zahn Schmertz). Then I ran through all the crypts, huts, houses and caves again. Lets just say, that what I had expected to give me my missing piece for the collection. The dentist's reward was worth it though, better than the blade I had purchased previously. Finally having both a good silver and a good steel blade, the royal huntsman decided to offer me a blade too Ah well, got the Raven armour too, although it only seemed to offer slightly better protection than the leather armour I was already wearing. Now I am back to bashing those groping tentacles again...

Yeah, I am pretty sure it wasn't little Grey Aliens that Obsidian had in mind Moved to WoT.

I can't stand bees, wasps or hornets and I would also add bumblebees to the mix. Can't stand as in "Don't like" or actually fear them?

Bzzz!...

Proximity to other people. Put me in a room with more than few people in it and I automatically start searching for the exits. I hate public transportation too for the same reason. It's less bad when I know the people around me though, the better I know them the less oppressive it feels.

Maybe people are more worried about world economy than who coincidentally happens to be president in a country somewhere far away? You know, problems closer to home and all that...

Shamelessly taken out of context, the words makes for nice recycling. Looks like it's time for a cool off period and maybe a better planning session on how to post without the snide remarks and personl grievances (goes for everybody)

So, I was checking out some of the other content in the EE box. Turned out that the game guide has all the answers, including which solution to quests gives the most xp, detailed descriptions how to solve etc. Ah well, I might just want to not look too much into that one yet. More fun not having a clue what is going to happen, although Alvin is asking some rather badly concealed questions that implies he has a major role to play in the future. I suspect my answers to his questions/dialogues will come back and bite me in the butt later. Edit: Decided not to sacrifice the prize cow. Some quite funny dialogue with the cow, cow guard and cow buffs there

I think it is going to be revolutionary. Neither Black Isle nor Obsidian has ever done a spy game before
