Big list for being a Good Evil Overlord #1 Never ever do the "tell the good guys your plans once you entrap them"-routine, you'll regret it later, while slowly descending to bubbling lava or similar rather deadly abyss. #2 If you destroy a small town, say...with a horde of zombies, make sure you kill every last straggler there. Orphans and trauma-induced amnesiacs can be dangerous in the long run #3 Be nice to your lieutenants: Befriend them, make sure they have medi-care and dentristy and above all: do not change your overall plans or over-rule any decisions that align with your lieutenants alignments or code of honour. Angry lieutenant=rebellious lieutenant=dead overlord. #4 Make sure you concubines and mistresses love you above all. Not the hero, not the hero's dead father, not his dog or familiar or family code. Unless you want to invest in even more winetasters. #5 Muhawhawhawhaaa in moderation and your eyes open, nary a knife needs a bigger opening.

Looks like there's finally going to be some spiritual successing in the wake of the long-dead DK franchise. Colour me interested. In an orange hue.

A Catholic school girl. Wait...this wasn't d20 Modern, was it?

That's conspiracy for you. I drank a pint of Strongbow. A small one.

Alex Brandon - The Shell The composer of Deus Ex does Ghost in the Shell. Color me flabbergasted.

Jet Set Radio Future is definetly up there. Fits the game like a tentacle fits a...well anyway.

I dozed off for half the day, after a gluttonous breakfast here at the spa hotel. I read a couple of hundred pages of Perdido Street Station and tried my best to read the linguistics books, but, thanks to my earlier devotion to them, I can almost recite the buggers by now, I ended up playing a lot of Prince of Persia: Two Thrones and feasting on fresh pineapple bits. Was a good day all in all, though this public computer is trying it's best to undermine that. I can't even convert images to sizes for uploading, since this buggeral doesn't allow me to use the right mouse button. Perplexed, yeah.

You know, space monkies are known for their ingenuity when forming tools of destruction. They can devise a weapon out of anything at hand. It's good that you have implemented this destructiveness in to your galaxy map as well.

Aram just made my (yester)day.

Ben Houge - Libera Me

Far Cry does look great. Best nature I've seen and the inside levels aren't half bad either. Especially the old tanker was impressive. I have to mention Wind Waker for it's grandiouse use of lighting and saturated colors. All of the boss fights especially, they were superbly executed(excecuted?) graphically.

Yeah, after killing around 200 of their wretched through various sharp and combustible ways, I don't expect to be treated that well. Regardless, 19 is ridiculously high Diplomacy. Could my mere 12 points of Charisma affect?

Oh, this song by Ben Houge is also awesome.

I tried it around three times, I always do if the initial one doesn't succeed. But it is always to no avail. I've won the throw around 4 times only throughout the chapters. Eagle's Splendor doesn't help much either. Edit: typos

dude.. I did the quest but he won't become a friggen MONK! Better even: I failed the freaking Diplomacy check in front of Bonegnashers'(that is what it was) lair even though my Diplomacy is 19. What the heck gives?

I haven't watched any of the animes, just played around with a model my friend has(Sword Impulse or something), so I really don't have any expetations. Heck, even the Transformers movie license game looks great. Colour me...reasonably reserved.

How do you measure that?

Jade Empire is definetly a good effort.

Dwarves are lovable drunks, duergar are violent drunks.

I remember liking one track in the original NWN, the battle theme that played when you fought the Forest Spirit in Neverwinter Wood.

Commandos 2 is surely the pinnacle of 2d design. So intricate, so realistic without being ponderous. Another very beautiful 2d game is King of Dragon Pass. Just google it. I've always liked the 3d design of Clive Barker's Undying, but "best grafix"? Probably Conker's Bad Fur Day for Xbox. It is crazily detailed, especially materials like fur and wood. Same goes for Oddworld: Stranger and perhaps Panzer Dragoon: Orta.

I'm on to Headgnashers'(or similar) lair in NWN 2. I don't have enough influence to start Khelgar's vision quest. Bummer. Well, I guess that is for the next playthrough, or the one after that, should I play a rogue.

Personally, I'd prefer anything but Washingtonian post-apoc. Rather, it would be nice if the devs could go with a characteristic areal theme, like good old American Mid-West, and introduce the post-apocalyptic, call it a "mutator", into the mix.

The Longest Journey had a memorable score, so did Dreamfall, but the most prominent one in my mind is the soundtrack of Rune. I don't give a crap about epicness and bombast, but that soundtrack could make your blood pound(Siege on Thorstadt, Ragnar's Theme, Melancholy Victory) and also had some creepily awesome ambient tracks(Entering Hel, Skuld). Even when my brain eventually rots away, I'll always hear the distinct thoooom of the chant over a medieval gibfest. Another one that has given shivers is the sountrack for WH40K: Chaos Gate, especially the Ultramarines' Chant, which is probably the most familiar one to you. It's even in youtube. To step out of war for a time, almost everything Eric Brosius touches, turns to gold and when he makes something himself, it is pure freaking platinum. Thief 3 OST is out there, released by a dev, for free. Give the thing a listen. Eric is a golden-eared genius. Deus Ex, nuff said. I also have an old, now rekindled with Blood Money, love with the aural ambrosia made by the Danish maestro Jesper Kyd. Hitman 2 and Freedom Fighters were both blasts aurally, but his work really shines with the unconventional approaches he took in Blood Money. Pure bliss right there. Honorable mention goes to Kai Rosenkratz, I hope he keeps it up.

I can list my Xbox games: PoP: Two Thrones
