SteveThaiBinh Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I have 2 gig limit on my Microsoft email account. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My hotmail has a 2MB limit. It's usually fine - it's just a bit full now, of stuff I can't really delete for a while. Not the Bioware newsletter, though, if it's lacking in Dragon Age goodies.

Atreides Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) I'd rather fly on a red dragon. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A pink dragon would be fine too. Edited February 11, 2006 by Atreides Spreading beauty with my katana.
alanschu Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 You might want to change your POP mail hosting, too. Hotmail has 5MB capacity: gmail and yahoo! have 200 times more. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My Gmail has 400x more than that.

alanschu Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Errr, 400x more than 5 GB. Though one April 1st Google mentioned that my eventual mailbox size will be infinity + 1.
BattleCookiee Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Errr, 400x more than 5 MB. FIXED And Hotmail = 250MB Gmail = 2+ GB
Dark_Raven Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 From Dragon Age to e-mail? Dragon Age looks like a good game. Bioware's own world setting RPG with a new game engine. Looks good as I said. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Personally, I love playing games that aren't released. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you happen to have the early builds of TORN, Fallout 3, and The Black Hound we should talk...
Atreides Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 It's weird that a game with so little info out has already won 4 awards. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Judge Hades Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Bioware likes to spout off any minor award they get and the people who give these awards are Bioware fanbois. I never give any attention to any awards a game gets.
Judge Hades Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Bioware can't do the third dimension for players.
SteveThaiBinh Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 There's nothing wrong with the people at E3 awarding prizes to games they think look good or show promise, and I guess a lot of the games there are unfinished. So long as no-one mistakes this for an award for a finished game based upon the actual playing experience, it's fine. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Judge Hades Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Might be fine for you but meaningless to me. Just because they had pretty screenshots doesn't mean it should have awards. I rather deal with finished products.
Magnum Opus Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Site updated... looks pretty. Can't really tell much about the game from it as there're only a few pieces of information that I'd consider "solid": the existance of Dwarves (exactly what that means I don't quite know yet, but I'd imagine most of the usual stereotypes apply); a specific place name; there's a segment of life in the setting that subscribes to monarchy-style rule; magic is a pretty pervasive element in the game. Could be everyone and their dog can cast spells, could be it's just something that everyone accepts but no one can really wield. Seems to be a corrupting influence, though how is unclear, naturally. The rest is standard RPG hype, just couched in slightly different language than the hype they had up there previously. Spiffy logo, though. Bronze-age sort of stuff, perhaps? Copper, even? I figure if they had steel and such-like in their setting, they'd make use of it in thier logo. Suggests that smithing and metalcraft hasn't really taken off yet, at least it does to me. *shrugs* Not much new stuff, really. Wait and see, wait and see. I suspect it'll still be a while before anything substantial comes down the pipe.
Volourn Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 "Bioware likes to spout off any minor award" E3 isn't a minor even so I doubt its awards ar eminor. It's a good way to get people interested in the game. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I am only interested in a game when it is close to release and most of the time it is after its release. Van Buren and jefferson taught me that if you get too excited about a game before it is released it will get canceled. Its still a long time between now and Dragon Age's release and anything can happen between now and then. I don't pay attention to a game being showcased at E3 unless its going to be released within 3 to 4 months at its showing. Anything beyond that is just too long of a wait to build up anticipation.
Volourn Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 That seems fair. I'm basically the same. I hardly ever post on the DA (and ME) forums, myself. I just skim for Gaider posts mostly. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 For me the E3 show is a minor event that I barely pay attention to unless a game that looks interesting is being shown that will be soon released. Neverwinter Nights 2 for example, if being shown at E3, would be a relevant.
