Musopticon?

Woot! Done. I'll go kiss the girl now.

Hahhah, ouch.

Maybe when the teacher didn't do his dissertation on post-modernist literature and you aren't four days late. It would also have helped to have seen the play the novel is about on stage. I'm juggling with bare minimun analysis here. But I got over 5 pages of that done now, so I only need to do a conclusion and then finish an introduction and I'm home free. I'll get a freaking computer for next year so I don't have to rot in these computer classrooms. There's barely any oxygen here and the water is only warm on weekdays, pffft.

Or then maybe not. Instead, I'm stuck here doing this essay, ****. Well, there's gonna be a Alamaailman Vasarat gig with Tuvalu at Klubi, so at least something to look forward to. Gf did chocolate cake and colored her hair red. I watch the green of the leaves deepen and wait for the season to set trees a-blossom. Ah, such is life.

Good. I expect that by then I'll be dead tired of teaching kids why "they" has a different concord when used in anaphoric singular reference and will be wizened enough to jump into any kind of crazy project which sounds tyte enough. Count me in!

Yoko Kanno - Undivided Edit: Hah, my youtube favorites are such an odd mixture of moods and sudden fancies.

Well, this'll be a blast to observe.

I'm half finished with the essay, gonna turn it in tomorrow morning, take a train home to pick up my black suit and take another train to attend a funeral. Then I just might play Battle Realms, kiss my girl, remember those who've passed on and enjoy the end of term.

Not really, no. It's just a surprise. Hopefully you can come up with a good team.

Congrats!

Not Family Guy.

I'm with mkreku, I don't mind being lost in some dark bush, if it's my own fault for not taking a map with me or paying attention to landmarks. Similarly, it's great when a game challenges you by, my god, letting you fail every once in a while. Then again, every Gothic fan, including me and my Swedish friend here, has learned to pay no mind to constant deaths by wildlife, the character getting robbed and mugged every other hour, and usually both starting and ending a dirty mine pool with nothing on you except a sharp stick and breeches, so we tend to be more accustomed to challenge the than the general gaming Joe. As for Arcania, I'm really not interested in the slightest. The PB project that almost promishes to provide Gothic 1 scale in Maori-inspired setting has my interest piqued enough at the moment to not really care what some team nobody knows is doing with a finished story(as far I'm concerned).

Hah, what endless optimism! Great to see it.

Origa - Rise

I can't understand vegemite. I hope I will never have to understand vegemite. I'm gorging on Swedish chocolate(grand) and plannin on writing about the inherent naivety of William Loman in the Death of a Salesman in a minute.

To CG: Fortunately, Shivering Isles adressed the last three of your points. The leveling system was still horrible, but exploration was finally rewarded, the plot was very decent and the side quests generally interesting. Apparently, this was mostly thanks to Emil Pagliouro(or whatever), who is a lead designer now, so I keep hoping that F3 will be worth playing.

I agree, the dungeon tracks were so unprominent and, unlike the constant fantasy concerto in the forests and on the plains, never took the foreground, so they were perfect at evoking ambience for the setting. As for Aliens rpg, oh god I wish that this intro iwould be an omen for what direction Obs is going with the music in that game. Alpha Protocol almost needs a chaos of different influences, genres and themes to fit the constantly changing flair of the settings and it still has to lure the player into the world of super-espionage. Bourne movies, James Bond, even Austin Powers, it's an interesting and varied world for music and I'm anxious to hear what we'll get. But Aliens...I hope they'll cook up an evil bastard of an ambient soundscape which drones on, only momentarily giving you full-on distortion and otherwise relying on the low-tech echoes of dystopic bureau planets and submarine-like starships, so that the scenes of the game unnerve the crap out of you even when they are not currently accomodating alien skullrape imagery. Same goes for the sounds in general, when my character janks the servos on a military exoskeleton and shoots a pulserifle underbarrel frag grenade, I want to feel it in my gut.

According to a French interview, they have an entirely new set of characters, complete reimagining of art assets(ergo: less gritty, more Persian), a story tied to the mythology, where a thief(you) sets Ahriman free from a box under an oasis, Ahriman, being the evil god, remakes the world into his image and the thief has to help Ormazhd(the good brother) to cleanse the lands off corruption by winning all local bosses and solving acrobatic problems, claiming his title as the prince as he does it. The world is apparently more free-roam, thanks to Assassin's Creed no doubt, and you will be able too see the healing effect of the wells you start as you walk through the landscape in real time(grass grows in your footsteps, trees blossom, earth heals, etc graphic splendour) They've taken influence from at least Zelda games and Shadow of the Colossus. Expect vistas and large boss fights in a mythic setting. Awe-some!

Hell yeah! I don't own a tv yet, so I just found out. I'm gonna get that beer now.

I subscribe to the Tactics love, minus the endgame . Somebody should take up that license and do the gaming world a favor.

Krez, your Blade cheese guide is so very munchkin. So awesomely munchkin.

Looks great, if Photobucket holds.

I thought Branwen was cool, I can sympathize with Kivan. Hell, this and the BG thread has almost rekindled my love for the series. Time for a rerun!

And Branwen had dialogue with (IIRC) Ajantis and that evil dwarf. Which reminds me, I should finish that game someday. With Tutu preferably. I've never played past Cloakwood, because the xvart-slaying bored me to death before that.

...or you could keep Family Guy out of, well, pretty much everything.
