Musopticon?

From which part of the game is this? The quote is from Thief 1 mission 4, "Assassins", fmv, but the music is the Hammerite theme from the Priory in Thief 3. Eric Brosius - Stonemarket

Acolyte is Normal apparently while Warrior is Black's Hard difficulty. It's a great sequel, really. They've revamped combat to be a lot more mobile, enemies are tons unfairer, Ryu both takes and dishes out more damage and all the little touches, like unobliterated enemies suiciding you and Lunarr XXY combo explosive decapitation, make playing the game a massive thrill every time. That said, the bosses are maybe a bit too different: In the prequel, bosses would have really small damage windows for Ryu to exploit, which would effectively have you trying to discover what kind of trick(a well-placed ninpo, wind run+flying swallow at just the right time) would open more of these windows. But in the sequel most bosses have a fairly large damage window, so you can deal damage in a constant stream. It's alright, I guess, fairly realistic in a way, but to balance things out, they've made half their abilities take two-thirds out of your life. It's an interesting balance. Having said all that, Falcon's Talons->flying swallow+izuna otoshi or vermillion bird strike+hungry wolf=awsometacular!

I got her in fine as well. I think there was a problem with the quest if the player let the whore fall back too much, she had to be in your vicinity before you enter the cemetery, but that was supposedly changed to less strict in patches.

I'll definitely get back to it eventually, with Tutu perhaps. And yeah, I did play BG1 after playing 2.

You'd have been better of posting this at Skeeter's, Jorian. Yo, mods!

You can show me sum seedy love right now! In Facebook, I mean.

I still don't understand what people saw in BG1 npcs over BG2 ones. Yeah yeah, no Anomen and certainly no Aerie, but at least they were actually characters and not a few lines with a wacky voice-over. Most characters in BG1 had the depth of IWD homebrew party members. Though I've never played past Cloakwood, but there wasn't much more than killing bandits and xvarts with an endless tirade of "I am become death, destroyer of worlds, etc" before that. Just gaaah...

Hey, off my profile! I don't even have an SLI! Uh, I joined. I think it is possible to see profiles, but the user has to have set his profile visible from settings. Friends of course see the whole thing.

And Haer'Dalis eventually fights you for Aerie if you have both in your party. Which is pretty damn awesome.

I have yet to play CoH, thanks to the WW2 setting. It's a massive bore.

Battle Realms is still being awesome, particularly the Kabuki Warriors are an awesome counter unit and have like a million tactical uses. And the story is actually pretty nice. I think I'll even replay the Serpent campaign. I'm kind of stuck, again, in Hostile Waters, but that might have something to do with the rather long waiting periods between resource collection and actual unit field application. They tend to bore me and the game really hates alt-tabbing. There's never enough Soulcatcher chips as well, heh. My Hard difficulty playthrough of Red Alert 2 is progressing slowly but surely. Westwood has done some awesome RTS levels back in the day. Currently I'm shielding Pentagon and blunting the Soviet sickle with some ingenious ship management. Key word of the day: bridges. Also, Ninja Gaiden 2.

I'm gonna play it today. My friend recommends I start on Acolyte, but we'll see. Heh, it's been quite a while from Black.

My point just bit your freaking EYE.

I kinda liked Hooah. Sure, he was the almost the complete opposite of me, but he was a really nice guy. Usually army nuts in the Internet are unbearable, but he wasn't nearly as bullheaded as the lot of them.

Then you should try out a few of the better RTSs to see what has happened in the genre. Namely, Battle Realms, World in Conflict, Ground Control 2, Dawn of War and also Hostile Waters and Sacrifice(though those are cross genre games). I understand how the RTS genre can appear unappealing to a an actual strategy gamer, but those are all solid titles, perhaps best of the genre. And perhaps most importantly, they showcase how far(or short, depending on your viewpoint) the genre has come from the Warcraft roots. Heh, I remember Red Alert well and I don't think I could ever play it again. There was this one time back in middle school when I was asked to play a LAN game against three other guys and all they kept doing was making the same tank in droves, everyone just sat at their bases and made around 50+ medium or mammoth tanks and then let them roll against each other. I...well, I destroyed two bridges that led to the island on the map my base was on and then proceeded to build aircraft and ships and bomb everyone from my inaccessible island. I didn't win, but that game was kind of a turning point in my gaming life. Next LAN game was Starcraft and I was faced against two armies whose troops consisted of only Dragoons and Mutalisks, respectively. It was one big sigh. I hope I'll never will get giddy over just amassing tanks.

Which was kinda my point.

Well, this is finished stuff that released into the net so of course it looks great. I've seen storyboards and sketches and believe me - they can blow.

There also was a concept art release at the official site a while ago. The weapons look interesting, particularly one that looks like an unholy union of a Pontiac front bumber and a hoover. Also the flame blade is awesome, especially the "protection equipment". Otherwise it's pretty generic really. More like urban Mad Max than Fallout, but I did find at least the area design concepts very decent. Edit: Also, craymen. Those whom it concerns know what I mean.

I'm on the 10th ep and it's sublime. That mech has a vagina! Rampant innuendo! Adrenaline-choking battles! And yet...the characters seem to display growth. Gainax freaking did it again!
