The Level 50 Challange
Where do you people spawn from? Have you tried the campaign on level 50? Is it balanced? Does the point progression make sense above 33rd level? Why does anyone even give a ****? Using the infinite spawn to get to level 50 is exploitation because it works through a known glitch. And completely messes up battle difficulty. Why is it such a big issue anyway? If you like to try, give it a whirl. You're trying out a glitch in a video game, maybe to achieve more power, maybe because it's just something experiment. Work it around your own morals, it's not like there's kittens to eat.

Hehheh, 2D Silent Hill could have been an interesting experiment in still-image horror. In comparison, I'm glad I don't have to play the original Resident Evil anymore. It looks awful, especially after the remakes.

New Fallout 3 screens
I don't think they are ugly as such, but just that the graphical standards are from 2002. It looks like someone sucked the fog out of Silent Hill 2 and added bloom. I'm not going to judge art direction, since the concept art gives a very different view as well, because I haven't seen any wasteland screenshots or actual open terrain yet. I like the armor design and the mutants are alright. It's not retroscifi, but neither was Fallout 2.

While I don't really go for the whole urban post-apoc thing, my preferences being of wastelandish origin, they did get the feel right. Shame about the bloom though. In the pics it's rather erratic.

Can't be really, yeah. I think Silent Hill 1 relied much more on the atmosphere than the sequel. There's a heavier presence of death and it isn't as personal as James's quest in SH 2.

That does look sort of decent.

Wait till you get to the school. Or the hospital, muhhah! I'll be playing Final Fantasy 9 in a bit, once I get this whole emulation thing on the way. And no, I'm not going to get a credit card, rummage through the internet and buy a new console and a game just to try an old game I happened to fancy ages ago. This is just fine for me.

The Music Thread
Pretentious synthbient, yeah. But that's the whole point. In a nutshell, it sounds more like Onimusha 2's soundtrack than music inspired by the classic film, but I don't really mind. The album is really listenable, if a bit repetitive.

Just got Gothic 3...
That's just it, initially Gothics feel like difficult hack'n'slashers and you wonder why you are even bothering, but soon it gets very rewarding. Exploration of the hand-crafted world, deadly combat, the constant equipment hunt that makes you leap in power nearly everytime(first time earning Shadow armor in G1 anyone?, Stonecrusher in G1 and Orc slayer in G2 anyone?) and the incessant tackle between factions that actually has an effect on the game instead of being flavoring over an otherwise mediocre product like Morrowind, all of these themes are shared over the Gothic series. Though I agree with anyone who says that the story took a turn for the worse with the chosen one stuff in G2. The original is still the strongest storywise. Too bad that it's a fairly obscure German crpg, I'd like it if more people could share the unique experience.

World stock markets plummet in tandem
Laugh: to be happy over others plight*, but with a good conscience. (Schadenfroh has no equivalent in English, but it's means e.g an instance where you laugh when someone slips on ice and falls. Vahingonilo, etc)
