That was, according to her, what got her banned from bio's boards.

Just saw him in The Wackiest Ship in the Army a few weeks back, but will always remember him for Oscar Goldman on Six Million Dollar Man & Bionic Woman and Lt. Drumm on Perry Mason. RIP

I've always liked local co-op for action or fighting games, but generally speaking prefer single player games.

You know, I can't off the top of my head think of a game with a single fixed protagonist where that protagonist was a black female (may say more about the fact I haven't always paid big attention to game news though). I can think of some games that had the choice of a black female from a group of fixed characters (like Samantha in the Hunter: The Reckoning Series or Houston in the Vigilante 8 series), and of course plenty of games with character creation, but nothing pops to mind for a fixed protagonist game. With respect to the topic, on games where I'm creating a character, I consider gender, sex and sexual orientation of the character I'm creating as part of defining that character in my head. I try to avoid 'playing myself' generally speaking, but have done so on occasion (it all depends on what I feel like, to be honest). But generally speaking I try to have an idea for a character and play that, just like I would in a Pen and Paper RPG.

I looked up tips for bg2. It just took me a lot longer to get to that point of desperation than if I had only thought the game was 'ok'. Had to do the same on the end of BG1 too... which I gather was a rarity. Funnily enough I did IWD and PST without hints (thus didn't get the best end on PST)

I think the big question would be, could controller support be added without it being something that would be part of expense of doing a port to console. No real clue, to be honest.

I think a good sign of how engaged I am with a game is how easy it is for me to look up spoilers or hints. Marginal games that I kind of like I'll probably be more inclined to look up a spoiler to quickly keep moving than a game I really like.

There was a long term poster on the Black Isle Boards (the above mentioned Italian Warlord) who'd try and trick newbies to Throne of Baal/the forums into believing that if you did certain things you'd unlock a fight in the Oasis with the Terrasque. It became a running gag that occasionally still shows up amid the old Black Isle forums crowd.

I'm currently reading Ben Aaronovich's Peter Grant / Rivers of London fantasy police procedural stories. RIVERS OF LONDON is a pretty fun start; everything is told from Grant's point of view and we get his thoughts on police procedure as well as his introduction to the Folly and magical crime investigation and while Grant proves to be a plodding detective, he's an adaptable protagonist with some very funny observations about the events he goes through. Lots of little questions seeded along the way, which may develop in later stories, and we meet the Thames family - the people who are, in essence, the embodiment of the major waterways in London and who are currently feuding while Grant also has to deal with a killer who is magically making people enact the puppet stories of Mr. Punch. Doggedness rather than clever deduction rule the day, as Grant follows something vaguely like police procedure to track down leads and ultimately put the picture of what's behind it all together. MOON OVER SOHO - Again we get two plot threads, the Pale Lady is killing men with a cruel cut (well, bite) while something else is causing Jazz musicians to die after gigs. Grant is at his worst as a detective, in many respects, as he fails to miss some obvious clues as to what is going on and makes a really big (IMO) blunder from a policing standpoint with going out with a woman tangentially connected to one of the cases. We also get some back story for some of our supporting characters. But its still a lot of fun, and I found myself unable to put it down when it got to a certain part of the denouement until I'd read the outcome. Both novels made me laugh out loud in places, but I imagine ones enjoyment of the series is going to depend on how well you take to Peter Grant. He's a newly minted Police Constable and easily distracted, which if you're looking for an above average detective may be frustrating. Or if you don't take to the funny observations from Grant you may tire of his narration. I'm on to Whispers Underground now...

Its an oooollld joke. I didn't expect many people to get it. Its not anywhere in ToB. ​Or is it... But the Tarrasque​ is an actual D&D monster that in early editions could only be killed by extraordinary means, and then a Wish spell, and in current editions it cant even be killed. 6'8" Italian Warlord Lives! Fist Bump to all the old BISers. BISites? BISsies? Hmmm, guess I should stick with Black Isle Studio forum members, considering. IIRC isn't it the case now that you can only send the Terrasque into hibernation (thus counting as a win for the home team)?

Sorry, I was trying to think of a clever way to hit the number 10 since the last thread was 9, and Jason X was literally the only thing I could think of.

Thanks for the clarification and correction.

However, one has to be careful to remember that absence of evidence cannot be construed as evidence of absence. Just because you look and don't find anything doesn't mean it isn't there. Regardless of how Iovara or Thaos interpreted finding nothing when looking, that they found nothing doesn't mean there is nothing, it simply means they didn't find anything. You'd have to be omniscient (in time and space) to prove a negative.

That is a very vague definition, you have to admit. What does it actually means in practical terms? And more to the point, does male/female (both irl and in the context of the game) actually imply some kind of pattern of behavior or something like that? Something so profound that someone would feel the need to be called something else. Because as far as i can see, you're a he if you have a ****, and you're a she if you have a vagina. And that's really about it. Although there are transgender people of course, but that is not relevant here, since those people would play as the gender they indentify with. Edit: lol, p enis is bad word, but vagina isn't? Well the obvious non-binary gender are hermaphrodites, born with the reproductive systems of either gender. But there would also be the agender, those who - as I understand it - find no identity in either gender (regardless of their born gender).

I seem to recall that SoM suffered from a really stripped down localization when it came out in the US (which may explain why I hated the ending so much). Maybe the SoM remake translation won't make me as angry as the original game did. And I'd love Seiken Densetsu 3 to get an official localization. Its a game I've always wanted to play since I saw production stills in magazines back in the day.

Non-Binary in gender is - as I understand it - an individual who identifies as and/or is either both male and female or neither male nor female.

Hooper had a respectable career; Texas Chainsaw Massacre was sort of a turning point for 70s horror films.
