http://www.thq-games.com/au/game/show/2300# Well, this is an unexpected endeavour: Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command marks the first time that the brutal, war-ravaged world of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe will be playable on the PSP. Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command features fast, action-packed combat through turn-based strategy and an engaging, authentic single-player storyline. Gamers play as the elite Space Marines of the Ultramarines chapter and strive to combat the encroaching evil of the ruthless and daemonic influenced Chaos Space Marines through 13 cinematically-tied missions. With a robust multiplayer mode featuring 9 unique missions, gamers will team up and go head-to-head with other gamers worldwide as either the Imperium of Man or Chaos Space Marines, ensuring hours of unique replayability. Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command will also fully utilize all the portable functionality of the PSP, bringing the Warhammer 40,000 universe to life on handheld. * Compelling single player game consisting of 13 unique missions * 9 unique multiplayer maps for Local or Global games, with small, medium and large map variants to cater for games from 2 to 8 players * Fully destructible, real time 3D battlefields mean that no two games will be the same * Pick from two Space Marine chapters or two Chaos Space Marine Legions to play as in Multiplayer games, in battles between Imperium vs. Imperium, Forces of Chaos vs. Forces of Chaos, or Imperium vs. Forces of Chaos * Over 20 ranged and close combat weapons taken directly from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, including the Bolter, Plasma Gun, Chainsword and Power Fist What this means for us not owning a PSP, I don't know, but I'll be looking out for this title. If not for anything else than for the fact that the last squad-based turn-based strategy was a damn long time ago(Chaos Gate 1999) and for the fact that the more WH40K games are successful the more we will see. Hell, I might have to get a PSP, or an equivalent.

This thread is about Grim Fandango's Third Year. Ahhaha.

What the hell?

Bathory - Twilight of the gods

"What cow?" "hey wait...I'm a girl now?" "cure series wou...no, that was Horrid Wilting" "Sequenced fireba...not only girl, but pink?!"

Wild Mage is perfect for soloing. Cast whatever, and just keep casting. Random mayhem ensues as enemies burst in multicolored chunks of flesh that spawn squirrels once they hit the ground and the main character gets bovine intervention every 30th spell.

Jesus, that doesn't matter one dingo. Do what you like. Runes of Power - Summoning

I bet 10 bucks that the first major modification will be one that coverts the game to d20. Such is life. Personally, I think distance from the whole D&D affair is one of the game's and indeed the dev team's strengths.

Ensiferum - Treacherous gods

Quoted for truth. Freelancer - the stuff of legends. Freelancer - the purest of aces

Heck, I can't remember all the 10 alts.

Yarr Yarr hum hump > all

Eru I wins the obscure nerd info prize for the day! Granted, I didn't know that until he told me around the first name change, even though I knew him from Bioware boards. Man, that is ancient history right there.

Big Meanie was alright as well.

Gay. Edit: Dammit, Bales. Beaten to it.

Not to mention that while nuclear energy can also sustain the development of alternative energy sources for regions that it is not viable. It's just a win-win situation. As much as I understand the hazards of waste and that we can't forever keep storing them underground, I don't wish to lose the comforts of modernities just because some can't bend under their idealism, especially when it is such prepostrous crap as anti-nuclear activism usually is. And I don't mean the youths that chain themselves to reactor cores, but the political power players that decide they'd rather invest more on oil and gas than nuclear just because of the dirty image it has garnered thanks to prejudice. Then again, I wouldn't like to have an uranium mine on my backyard, but such is life.

That is actually a fairly good parallel. Except that Bioware isn't making Baldur's Gate 13. Yeah, but they are making NWN 5 , aka Dragon Age

It is a simple fact that nuclear power is the only viable source of energy if both enviromentalic needs and efficiency has to be provided for. It hardly pollutes, risks are minimal, there's no lack of resourcs in sight and the relativley large investments it needs are paid back fast. Really, if we wish to see the standards of living keep the same, nuclear is the only option.

ETOS - Sakura no Rei and Sinister Rain

I meant it in the sense of both having to release a countless amount of crap to provide funds for the the very few diamonds in the rough.

That is actually a fairly good parallel.

TLJ and Dreamfall are nothing short of awesome. Best puzzles ever without them being too rational(rubber duck anyone?) and the character writing is superb for both titles. Of course, Dreamfall could have had more puzzles in general, but I think the devs were looking more into making an actual adventure instead of an archetypal puzzler and that was clar from the marketing as well. I wasn't disappointed, a bit suprised, that's all. Dreamfall could have done with less running and more talking and TLJ with less random puzzles and more background to some of the characters, but both are the best face of modern fantasy writing. They are pretty much two of the fours games I'd use to convert a newcomer.

Yeah, people don't generally buy games that are not fun.

I think I could still recite Cruel Angel's Thesis from memory, but I'd rather not. Why do they have to make them so damn catchy? Summoning - Land of the dead

I like the new designs too, very modern.
