If we're flinging about existing RPG IPs for setting, I'd dig a good Deadlands game. But really, I don't care so much about the setting than that its a good game.

A NWN3 would not be NWN3 without a toolset. That's the entire point heh. Wasn't the original Neverwinter Nights an AOL MMORPG? Seems to me that the series could change again to something other than a toolset create your own adventure game. I'm not really sure that there is a feel for NWN or BG or IWD other than using the initial setting (at least for the OC).

Sounds interesting, doesn't look quite as realistic as the hype seemed to indicate. Also the gameplay mechanics described will either be fun or head-banging worthy by the sounds of it...not sure which yet.

Well I don't hate MotB (although I hate the feeding bit)...I just haven't finished it. I guess maybe I'll give it another go after I finish SoZ...

Weird, I feel like the odd man out because I'm so far enjoying Storm of Zehir better than Mask of the Betrayer (which I never finished - I hate games that force eating mechanisms into the gameplay ). Also not had a problem with the voice acting either (maybe its because I really don't listen to it as I can read faster than most VO actors talk and get bored waiting for them to finish?)

I dunno, the wine one seems to be a case of a proper interpretation of the law in question. I'm sure if people don't like it they could petition the government to amend the law in some way (or, alternatively, I suppose the hair salons could apply for a license to sell alcohol or whatever). The arsonist I'm with Rosbjerg, they asked a medical professional and followed the medical advice given. The bit with the hat seems a bit of overkill not sure how it rates as a health risk unless the idea was more to prevent others risky behavior trying to emulate or top the prank.

The Creeping Terror quite possibly the funnest (and funniest) bad horror film not directed by Ed Wood.

Guns on armored horses! w00t!

Interestingly enough I haven't noticed the buffs disappearing after a battle and return to the overland map, personally. Guess I don't pay enough attention to how long they should last.

I've had the lurch since the beginning playing NWN2 OC - always figured it was because my comp doesn't actually meet all the specs.

Its not uninstalled my OS yet, so maybe not totally like PoR2. So far I'm personally really digging it. Love wandering to overland map, having monsters spawn, nearly kill me, and then running back to town because I used all my health stuff to survive the encounter, often fleeing from various monsters.

Apparently I'm listening to The Andrews Sisters' "I Wanna be Loved"

I don't even remember the menu music to NWN2 or MotB, to be honest. Its not like I sit on the menu listening to tunes. I've got a few more games to restart...

As I understand it, its supposed to come up with shift + key next to backspace (+/=/}) then enter for azerty keyboards. Supposedly the .ini file will allow you to edit the key to bring up the console, but I haven't looked at it to confirm.

Ooo, almost forgot, I also re-watched The Incredible Hulk movie again. Fun film.

Could be, for all I know. Seems like everything is a euphemism for sex these days. ... Hmmm, now I have the idea of playing leapfrog naked in my minds eye...

I don't know what it is but I always seem to restart an RPG about 10 times before I actually get going. I restarted 3 times on Fallout 3, but for some reason with NWN2 I restarted about 20 before I got a character I ran through the game with. I was hoping I wouldn't be as restart crazy with picking my 4-party group...but I am.

As an inveterate restarter, I'd hoped being able to do my own party would cut down on this, but I've restarted 5 times over the weekend.

It looks good. Sadly it opened here, but in a theater too far to me to feel like driving to. >_ Over the weekend I watched: THE BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD - low-budget film from the creative minds behind House of the Dead 2 (yeah, they made a sequel to a Uwe Boll film...without Uwe Boll!). Involves a vampire who all the other vampires (including Sid Haig as a vampire leader and Ken Foree as a vampire of a different faction) fear coming back to life (they call him the devil) and a bunch of running around trying to stop it happening. Caught in the middle is a group of vampire hunters, specifically Victoria Pratt (Cleopatra 2525, Mutant X). Haig is good and Foree is good but slightly wasted by the film. And disappointingly, they never meet on screen. Pratt, who played action heavy heroines in other projects does adequately with the same here. But the plot is threadbare, hiding the fact that its twists don't make a lot of sense by using non-linear storytelling techniques. DOG SOLDIERS - A somewhat better low-budget horror film than Brotherhood of Blood (although both have a weird plot twist that doesn't make a lot of sense based on who took some photographs). Generally speaking its a lot more fun to watch, with more interesting character bits. Sean Pertwee is awesome. You can tell Neil Marshall is a pretty good storyteller. Some good bits and a couple of great character moments (one of the soldiers gets the best defiant death scene ever) a bit hampered by that plot twist that makes a mash of character motivation combined with its inconsistency in how it treats the werewolf infection. BARBARELLA - Despite being aware of the adaption for years (and having, several years ago, read part of a collection of the original series), I'd never actually seen it before. It is, however, almost exactly as I imagined it, a weird psychedelic experience that is both interesting and nonsensical at the same time. Still its fun, sometimes hilariously funny and always visually interesting.

Still playing Fallout 3 but added Storm of Zehir to the list. Well nominally Storm of Zehir, since I keep restarting with different characters in my party...

I'm taking a bit of a stab in the dark, but maybe James Lowder and Jean Rabe in their 1993 FORGOTTEN REALMS suppliment, The Jungles of Chult? It definately had a T-Rex type on the cover. Besides which, the Forgotten Realms is a hodgepodge creation, medieval period, ancient Egyptian, and barbarian hordes for example. (And are dinosaurs really that weird in a world with dragons? And weren't dinosaurs in one of the original Monster Manuals in 1e D&D?)

Why push them? Just play leapfrog!

He's a pacemaker?

Its not like they have anything else to do between moderator moments.

I have dial up. I use dial up. On 40-something year old phone lines through a rotary phone jack which means that I almost never get speeds above a 28.8. While I COULD put my gaming computer on it, I don't typically play multiplayer with computer games and frankly downloading anything at 28.8 isn't really a good use of time. Consequently I use an old computer for nothing but connecting on the internet for web surfing and my other computer isn't connected to the internet. If I need to patch I'll dl it elsewhere where it doesn't take 8 hours to download. What were we discussing again? I think it was someone complaining about patches and no internet on their computer, so yeah I understand the situation, but I haven't found (beyond user error) patching - or not - a hinderance to game playing.
