Musopticon?

2001 brought to my mind one of those Cinemax "superfilms" where the camera anxiously zooms over the Rocky Mountains and an epic overture dulls your mind to the very simplest of stimuli. The viewer claps their flippers and jumps into the audiovisual arctic as happily as the rest of the penguins in the huge hall. In the end you go "ooh" and "aah" when they zoom into a grizzly bear's nose. It's like a new age brainburger.

Fortunately, our choice is not that limited.

I heard that there's a playable native faction that can adopt European advancements. Any truth to that?

You can save at fountains, "use" them to drink and it asks if you wish to save. Unless the no save is intentional in this version, I don't know.

After Korriban, Manaan was my favorite planet.

In short: Awesome.

It's probably my favorite movie.

Not only the art assets? Somebody update me please, I didn't hear about Obsidian getting the rights. Also, IWD beats Baldur's Gate 1 hands down. Now BG 2 on the other hand...

Finished Bioshock. "C'mon mister B" *sniff*

I finished Bioshock today, did the good thing and had a heart-warming outro. Awesome game, Of all the three twists, Martin Warner - Ocean upon his shoulders[bioshock Main Theme] *sniff* Truly, I have gazed upon the face of perfection. Or nigh enough.

Man, you are in for some hurt.

Too bad their elite forces tended to be finnish, for example "hakkapeliitat" You don't hackapells to win a fight, but crazed Finnish sabre cavalry helps.

My only disappointment with the cuts was just that - the world wasn't open, but in sections. It's not a bad in as such, I just feel left out.

Swedes are typically short, aren't you aware? I have to agree with the ass-kickery though, Swedes have some insane war hero blood in them, even though most of them look like ponsies in the tousled wannabe-French attire.

Far Cry is pretty good, the level design especially derserves a lot of credit. It's one of the few fps games that actually take advantage of the third dimension.

I'm in the apartments part, after Hephaestus, taking things apart with the incredibly effective Eletro Shock+Electric Skin+water puddle method. The -part was so satisfying. I only saw one of the big twists beforehand and was totally awed by the scene and the whole buildup in the previous area.

I'll PM your face! I mean, I would, would it be that I actually owned a 360.

It most likely will be, considering the period.

Wait, so they are making a modern TW game? Shame, I wanted Shogun 2.

Hey, I love camp - I watch Bleach afterall - but enough is enough once in a while.

Man, even more Starg

I'm curious, how much did you pay for the Lawrence of Arabia dvd?

That Gurrenn-Lagann...thing was fairly abysmal, despite myself generallly liking over-the-top.

So, there's like three persons on this board who've tried co-op? Alright then, it's your loss. But please don't come complaining about disadvantages that hardly matter in the scope of co-op-gameplay. You're preaching to the choir. Halo is a popcorn game, it's polished, perfectly marketed and it's story, pace and plot model are pre-chewed to dissuade thinking, since the regular Halo gamer is fiftteen, pasty and thinks Peter Jackson's Lotr is the height of the movie medium. Depth is tacked on later on with comics, args, novels etc, while in the actual games everything is done for the sake of gameplay, like HL 2, the plot is a pretext to constantly offer new obstacle courses for the player - an old mechanic, but taken to the peak by Halo 2. Despite all that(or maybe because that) it's a perfect group activity, a continuation to beer and FILA openings. Call me a populist, but it's not like the franchise is cutting on games with actual depth, Halo is the only decent console fps. It'd be nice for people to actually appreciate it for what it is, for what it tries. I'd be along with you folks on the hate train if Bungie actually were like Molyneux, but they've said before that it's just a first person shooter, not an epic scifi vision for the new generation.

Amorphis - Shaman I suggest you get the new Silent Waters as soon as you can, I heard the promo and it's fantabulous.
