Musopticon?

Yeah, there are no Mezzanine instant classics here, though Rush Minute is really catchy, it's a solid album, much more so than 100th Window. And the collaborations couldn't really be better. Massive Attack - Girl I love you

Omnomnom, this is delicious. New Vegas, that is.

So, anyone else pretty hyped after that teaser?

Kult:Heretic Kingdoms likes to do that as well.

What I meant is that while minecart races and fixed point defense parts, for instance, may seems like "standard" fare for all fps, the reality is that for every one fps following in HL or NOLF's varied footsteps, there's a dozen that do not. Most of them pass under radar, though. Sorry if I seem needlessly confrontational, I don't mean to imply that I think Metro will be anything special. On the contrary, I keep hoping it might be, but it's hard to say with so little exposition in the net so far.

I bet my left nut that more people in the world have read and will read Divine Comedy than will ever play this game. It's one of those books which were written so that the word "classic" would not go unused.

I'm not gonna even start how insulting and prejudiced that reply is.

What don't you know? The whole point of the post was that the new options made it more varied...compared to Stalker. And Quake 2 did most of that even earlier than HL. And as for standard, well I don't buy it. For every "standard" fps game, there's a Haze or a Firestarter just around the corner.

Where did you see variation in that trailer? Where to begin...? Well, there were environmenst ranging from ruined urban to claustrophobic corriders - nothing new there - but also sneaking, general fps action, mine cart chases, fixed point defense scenarios, combat against flying enemies. Of course, they might have just cut artifact hunts and trading in favor of the new, but we'll see soon I guess.

Nice, though I'm not sure if I like their monster design concepts, at least the gameplay looks far more varied than Stalker. And stealthiness is always a big plus!

Type Moon games, the only games where you die if you don't have breakfast before leaving to school.

I love it, makes no sense and I love it!

Beats me. They've apparently written a few books about the nomer and arguments for its use instead of plain "English". I just breezed through the linguistics and grammar parts of the mastership so I could study literature. Edit: As you can no doubt verify from the vast excellence I hold over the finer points of syntax and parts of speech.

I have actually read "The Horror at Red Hook". It lacked suspense compared to other novels that he wrote. Simply rubbish since most of the story was about telling have bad different races were, namely: - Dutch: Oppurtunistic and no culture, simply lived to do business - Blacks: Ugly savages - Arabs: Ugly savages - Kurds: Satanists - Syrians: Just evil - Italians, spaniards, greeks: No direct reference, except for neighbourhoods go bad where ever they move in. There was a some murder mystery, but it was in the background. Lovecraft was a huuuuge anglophile, btw. Thanks for the input, but I know. Lovecraft himself wrote later in his memoirs that he considered the piece lacklustre and full of vitriol. But that's the point, that's hy it's so tasty to analyze. You'd be surprised how much of that percieved racial hate was just a product of the times, not a majority opinion, but there was a widespread acceptance in that America that foreign races, particularly Slavs and Asians were inferior as a race and deserve to be treated unjustly. Hell, when the Johnson-Reed Act went active in '24 (IIRC), some of the European countries got so minuscule immigration "slots"(percentage of new immigrants per country based on the 1890 census of all things) that tens of thousands of people were practically stranded in fascist Europe. I found a source that guesstimated that for instance over 300 000 European Jews that got screwed over by the Act were three hundred thousand Jews that later found themselves in concentration camps. It wasn't easy to get to Latin America, immigration required serious money, something that the congress who moaned over "the Polish ghettos emptying themselves into America" never really got. Penniless peasents did not get to immigrate.

Eroge mangaka, someone who draws erotic manga. Simple enough. **** on this, it's not legislation and I can't imagine that the ruling will stand once someone gets it into court. Basically this means taking naughty pictures of your girlfriend assumes you are a paedophile.

Writing a research proposal for my BA subject in English Philology, about contemporary views on immigration in the US during the 20's, particularly the pre-depression immigration scare, Yellow Peril, post-war depression etc, influencing H. P. Lovecraft, particularly the short story The Horror at Red Hook, which I'll using as a primary source. Bibliography is very tentative right now, but I'll be using at least this one and that one. Naturally I also have my good old Necronomicon Collection for quick reference. Now if there just were moar articles bordering the subject, there's a fair amount of partying to be done between these wee hours and the Friday night proposal deadline...

I can't even begin to fathom what an assload of work DM'ing a scenario, let alone a campaign like Paizo Adventure paths, would be, but so many people seem to be doing it so maybe there's a secret recipe for patience somewhere. I've actually contemplated on taking a bunch of stand-alone adventures available and DM'ing to my heart's content, but it takes such a massive amount of time that I doubt I ever get the thing launched. If making sure you got all the numbers and charts correct and still doing coherent narration to excite people is getting you down, there's two very easy ways to help yourself: DM fiat and more narrative-oriented roleplaying. Instead of checking and double-checking, accept that you are the boss of the gaming table and can maneuver and rule as you see fit. Or just play something less rule intensive. Hell, like the rpg I'm gonna play next(after the Sunday Runelords sessions), Veggie Patch, a totalitaristic rpg about vegetables.

I love how the game is a huge deconstruction of DMC games. Initially it works very similarly to the previous games, but you'll soon start to notice stuff like the combat music being a lampshade to DMC's macho rock beat and how the finishers work like they are spoofing Devil Trigger moves or how the whole idea of a benevolent butterfly god giving her super powers to fight angels is like a thematic and visual parody of the fairly-cookie cutter demonic imagery of DMC. Just throwing that out there, couldn't help but to love that when trying the demo.

Nah, you kill it because it's the one holding up the magical barrier around the area preventing your exit. Simple enough.

1, but Cataclysm should not be skipped either.

Hell yes to the last two(haven't played X2 yet). I've finished The Legend twice and am in the last third of Armored Princess. To clear some confusion, since everyone seems to call it an "expansion", take it with a grain of salt. It's more like "King's Bounty 1.5", it's way bigger, more varied, better written and clearly designed by people who love the genre. My absolute fave game last year.

^Hahhah, like metal doesn't have its massive share of macho idiots. Anyhow, why did this even get to the news? Because he's a celebrity...humm? First time I've even heard of the douche.

There's also a total conversion in the works, making Civ IV into SMAC, called "Planetfall". Don't know how active it is nowadays, though.

We own both books, I actually bought Sea Monsters one two weeks ago. I hope they make Pride and Prejudice into a survival horror game.

The last, or capstone if you will, skill in the Bloodwing skill tree(Rogue?) is fun at first, but it's far more overpowered than any of the other characters capstone abilities. For instance, the Zombie expansion is a breeze with the thing, so much so that it quickly becomes boring.
