qaz156 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Well this one is sure interesting to say the least. It mentions both Obsidian and Bioware and talks about why the people at the website dislike both companies. What do you all think? http://rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=122 "To be, or not to be a real RPG, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or outrageous action... or by taking up arms against a sea of crap and by opposing: end them."
Krookie Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Kreia is an enormous bitch and probably the thing that's easiest to hate about KOTOR2
Gabrielle Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 RPGCODEX and they are? Nobody. Sounds like this dude has been flying high for so long that his buzz has worn off and now he's a grumpypusss.
Gabrielle Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 lol Gabby's in a rampage (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lack of sleep. Now that my sedatives have finally kicked in.
Gorth Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Not a place I normally go, but since the link was there. Hilarious read and unfortunately, he does have a lot of valid points “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Child of Flame Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Codexers are stalking Magical Volo?! :ph34r:
SteveThaiBinh Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I think the author just needs a hug. He does have a lot of valid points, in the way any biased piece will generally have half the relevant points but be missing the other half. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Surreptishus Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I would have thought Gabs would like the horribly anti console slant of that article. That site seems like fun, it has so much drama! their dislike for volourn is hilarious! (w00t) Maybe it was one of those guys that did the ytmnd site (that has been removed <_<)
Slowtrain Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 hah. That's an awesome article and makes me love those boys even more. The codex always was and remains the best crpg site in the internet. The day the codex finally gives up and closes doors wil be a sad day indeed. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Diamond Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Anyone who takes everything in the article seriously is crazy. We pissed off Volourn. Yup, he was pissed enough to spam the hell out of the RPG Codex Site Feedback forum.
Kaftan Barlast Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I always think "Im going to register at the Codex forums" ..but I never do. DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

Arkan Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Anyone who takes everything in the article seriously is crazy. We pissed off Volourn. Yup, he was pissed enough to spam the hell out of the RPG Codex Site Feedback forum. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why's that? The people at the Codex take themselves to seriously as it is. It seems as if the only RPG they liked was Fallout. They can't find something to like about what's being made, tough schit for them. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Judge Hades Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Its RPGCodex. Crap is what they deal out everyday of their existence. They are just a bunch of Tim Cain fanbois as well. Troika's rep for buggy and subpar games was well freaking earned with ToEE. Add to the crappy game balance of Arcanum its no wonder that Bloodlines sold like poorly.

Volourn Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 The Codex is fun; but they're also tools. No matter what, it's entertaining! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Yep, they are as funny as a kick in the crotch.
Pidesco Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Yep, they are as funny as a kick in the crotch. A kick in someone else's crotch can be pretty hilarious.

Diamond Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 A kick in someone else's crotch can be pretty hilarious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is even painful to see.
Pidesco Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 There was this one time when a guy I knew who kept trying to feel up girls (we were still in school back then) got a swift punch in the crotch from one of them. I have to admit that I laughed my ass off.

Judge Hades Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) You are a more of a monster than a man. Twisted and evil. Edited January 7, 2006 by Judge Hades
Pidesco Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 The guy was a complete ****. And he really had it coming. I know laughing about it wasn't very christian of me, but I couldn't help it.
