Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
*facepalm* I just recalled why I started to avoid the Bio fora. Besides some brilliant posters(at DA boards for instance), there's this howling and seething mass of BG2 fanboys that never actually realised the Bhaalspawn saga was over the moment the player decided what to do with the remains of the <PLAYERNAME>'s dad. Or rather, it was over once Interplay decided to drop the ball. Get a move on, it's not like anyone is stopping you from replaying BG the umpteenth time, there's no point to the endless baaawww over Bioware/Obsidian/w-e's decisions to make an exact replica of that past series. In the contrary, I think it's worth rejoicing that they are stretching their wings over new ground. As for jrpgs influencing the cinematic bend that western ones have recently taken, I call bull. If anything, it's the other way around, jrpgs are increasingly complex, finally starting to let go of the FF/Dragon Quest(don't. I liked the 8th one) format. I think the re-imagining of the western rpg as a interactive novel has more to do with technology finally being powerful enough for graphics and direction to take a step towards what popular rpgs have always traced their roots back to - Tolkien and the goddamn epic fantasy novel lineage. Edit: I realize that might appear as confrontational - it isn't. I wasn't aiming at anyone here.

A case of evil
They are about as worth reading as their rival, The Mirror. That is, the daily babes have sucked so far.

McDonald's Is Healthy!
The forum's idea of what exactly 'healthy' means perplexes me somewhat. But whatever, enjoy your burgers.

Ninja Gaiden II Preview
Well, not everyone likes to constantly explode. I sort of get the critics on chapters 8-9. I didn't find them annoying. The combat synths are difficult opponents, true, but that's only if you hate using ninpos.

So are you going to buy Mass Effect PC ?
And a mention of an organic ship and tons of war history. Nothing too fancy, but nice fluff all the same.

What are you playing now?
Disciples 2: Gold Edition is pure win.

Worms World Party
I'd play if it was Worms 2 or even Armageddon, not cruddy World Party!

Thank god I go to play this on the Xbox and never had to deal with this crap. No, not god. Thanks to Juuso. Man, I have to thank that guy.

ME: male or female?
Jorian made the avatars. Fio, who happens to be a mod, has one as well so they aren't really "in style of Obsidian employees".

What you did today
I went for a nap around seven and just woke up. Since it's 3:47 here, something obviously went wrong.

Warhammer 40k RP: Dark Heresy
Yeah, well. With exterminatus you are likely to be dead before you see the downfall of your whole culture and won't ever be opressed by anyone anymore(unless you happen to be an Eldar, "hello Slaanesh!"). Then again, virus bombing is nasty.

Aw crap, I can't play Minesweeper anymore. Darth Allanon has decreed it a baaad game!

Warhammer 40k RP: Dark Heresy
No, but being led by a oligarchy, that controls everyone through propaganda and(if the rumours of that one Imperial autopsy are true) pheromone glands and doesn't mind sterilizing a whole planet to control uprisings, is bad enough already.

Go try that "Ninja Dog" mode now. It's harder than Black on Normal. Gimme a break!

That is some weird standards, recruiting here! What exactly are you looking for? And why the poll?

Zombie survival
53% and since I picked a lot of obvious survival options and only had that much, it's likely that answering "no" to the "Do you own a gun?" question takes out a lot of the score. Though I don't see how hard it would be to leave to the countryside with a van full of looted canned food when the zombie apocalypse starts if you can run for a long time and own a baseball bat. Then again, if the z-heads turn out to be 28DL speed-heads, I'd be dead in seconds thanks to there being a residential zone between me and supermarket.
