Musopticon?

I don't exactly know if this is gross, but it sure is painful. I've maganed to fracture the bones of my right foot three times. And each time it has been the same place. Now, everytime I take a long shower, the foot gets damp after slalom or I do something relatively draining to it, like go running for a long period of time, there'll be a sharp pain in the foot that leaves me momentarily gasping for air. I expect that the fractures never healed correctly. The right foot is slightly bigger girthwise than the left.

Gire - Nadak, erek It's been the odd two years since I last heard this little Hungarian piece of athmospheric metal. I didn't really recall how hauntingly...beatiful it was. I wish I had taught myself Hungarian so the lyrics still weren't gibberish for me.

I for one think that Kaworu's love for Shinji is not homosexual in the exact meaning of the word, but that's only because they are not of the same species. Semantics, but nevertheless. Hehheh, I think it's pretty obvious that Kaworu wouldn't mind getting it on with Shinji. The carnal tension was rather palpable during the two episodes he was present. Ah, Japania, you odd moonland.

hehe.. yeah he is kinda gay (although they didn't need to change the subtitles to prove that) .. they should've just shown the bathing scene.. Is he generally unpopular? I thought it added something very important when he was introduced.. especially with his behaviour! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He was there to prove that there was some meaning behind the angel attacks. And to serve as a fan service for fat internet girls. :D

I remember that there's one hero unit for IG that effectively drops the enemy squad morale to zero. That ability is a game winner. I can't remember if it was the sanctioned psyker or not.

:D The pleasure's all mine. But really, make as many guardsmen(your basic troop) as you can, give all squads commanders and sit on your upgraded listening points till you get good tanks. Imperial Guards have the best tanks. I think it's really simple. One good piece of advice early on is that the guardsmen can get grenade launchers. Those launchers don't do very much damage, but their concussion tosses enemy units around and they can't shoot back easily. Edit: Oh, and to explain why I don't hold Brood War in very high regard when compared to Conquerors: While Brood War does add a relatively lot of things, Starcraft could have easily survived without it. All in all, I think the original game is prety much the perfect RTS game. AoK on the other hand wasn't very good initially, but the expansion perfected the product. It added things that should have been in the vanilla game already and it really plays like a different beast altogether.

It doesn't have Korean armoured turtle ships, so no.

Undying is in my top 5 FPS' ever-list. It reallys was an awesome game. Best weapon design, awesome art direction and superb level design second to only Thief 2 and HL 2.

Gamewise it wasa bit repetitive but I enjoyed how they solved Turel's absence in the first Soul Reaver, though there's still that weird cameo by Moebius in the end of the game (he wasn't supposed to be there) and Janos Audron's pseudo transformation at the end. Those seem to open up some potential story material for future instalments, though with Amy Hening out of the team I'm not sure if there will be future games in the series or that loose ends will be tied up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wish they'd make more. Kain is like the epitomal anti-hero turned saviour and a do-gooder ex-lieutanent turned avenging angel turned soul-sucking sword in his hand has got to be the most ridiculously awesome plot twists ever. But without Henning, I think any hopes of a worthy successor are in vain. Crystal Dynamics did make the new Tomb Raider, which was a good effort, but it has always been the monolithic lore and absolutely spell-binding twisty story around the second-to-none anti-heroes that has kept the drive of the series on.

Best expansion: The Conquerors for AoK. There's a lot of contest though. Like Core Contigency and Brood Wars. As for the Guard, zerg rush every strategic point and hold them with massed guardsmen and fortifications galore till you can get the flamethrowing vehicles. Burn everything with the napalm function. After that, the tech tree opens pretty rapidly and you change your tactics to the WW2-esque "elite tanks supported by specialized foot soldiers and cannon fodder"-strategy.

And Bioware provided Aurora engine and other stuff.

Torque bowperfect reloads when he is far away. Grenade-blind throws when he is near. Then, when he arrives at the last cover bank before yours, jump over it and run on the very middle of train till you arrive at the illuminated cover bank at the end. Then shoot all you last arrows and change to sniper rifle and perfect reload him to death.

"Que portum petat, nullus suus ventus est." - Seneca(I think) = If you don't know to what port you are sailing, no wind is favorable. I think it's fitting for a lot of things. "Are you a believer? - well I'm a deceiver But I lied when I said that honesty was dead I really believe all the things I say to you It's just that none of them are true" -NoMeansNo Just like the above one.

I'm sober but I feel awful. I just had the most horriblewakeup in the history of hangovers. I don't think I'll ever party in Vantaa again. Happy anno domini 2007

I don't know about you guys but I'm having a rocking new years eve.Gottogotothe party back. Cheers,orsomehtingh! BlindGuardian -Battlefield wrong trhead I know,butitsghood

Have you tried EB 0.8?

That mod is the work of the devil, isn't it? 0.8 would be pure perfection without the glaring unit recruitment problems as Lusotanann or the Bactrian Hippeis-ctd. <_< That said, playing as any of the Hellenic factions is the best ancient sandbox ever. And I've never seen a mod this scale that's so finished before.

Japanese. I don't think it really matters though. Not with Miyazaki at least, since the dubs are really professional. In contrast, most people have watched the highly praised Otomo's Akira film adaptation with English dubs. I tried that and thought they were horrendous. Miyazaki's movies are so popular in the West that they get great voice talent to work with in the subs. Everyone knows the movies are a huge cash cow and the effort put into dubs reflects that.

Not going to bother with the article. This is like the fourth fanboy post-mortem, right? There's bound to be a wealth of interesting and poignant article subjects amidst the crpg biz. No need to wage fanboyism in a media that at least tries to remain borderline neutral in their opinions. For shame, Escapist. For shame.

"What does this make make me?" Un geek enorm

Personally, I think I will skip Medieval 2. I just don't have to the time or interest for another TW game right now, with EB, RTR 7.0 and Rise of Persia, etc.

How can your word be law when my word is the divine utterance made manifest in law off from Platonic plane of concepts? Goddamn you.

Fave songs, not "I must argue that these are the best songs of all time ever made till death" songs. Beatles - Hey Jude Beatles - Happiness is a Warm Gun Beatles - Eleanor Rigby Beatles - All you need is love Led Zeppelin - Kashmir(also the SSOGE cover) Led Zeppelin - Immigrant song Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Twilight Singers - Bonnie Brae Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah(Buckley's version is great too) Pink Floyd - The Wall(whole ****en album) Black Sabbath - Mister Crowley +obscure Finnish songs by obscure bands(like Noitalinna Huraa, The Crash and Paska) none of you care to hear about Now it goes into metal, skip if you don't swing that way: Edge of Sanity - Twilight Edge of Sanity - Crimson part 1 Windir - Svartasmeden og Lundamyrstrollet Windir - Arntor, Ein Windir Immortal - Solarfall Immortal - Beyond the Northern Waves Immortal - Withstand the Fall of Time Tyr - The Edge Tyr - The Burning/The Ride to Hell Finntroll - Rivfader Finntroll - Skogens H
