Malcador Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Imagine a world where we could. Also, Valve gave an update on that breach in Nov 2011. - http://store.steampo....com/news/7323/ Quote Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users: We continue our investigation of last year's intrusion with the help of outside security experts. In my last note about this, I described how intruders had accessed our Steam database but we found no evidence that the intruders took information from that database. That is still the case. Recently we learned that it is probable that the intruders obtained a copy of a backup file with information about Steam transactions between 2004 and 2008. This backup file contained user names, email addresses, encrypted billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. It did not include Steam passwords. We do not have any evidence that the encrypted credit card numbers or billing addresses have been compromised. However as I said in November it's a good idea to watch your credit card activity and statements. And of course keeping Steam Guard on is a good idea as well. We are still investigating and working with law enforcement authorities. Some state laws require a more formal notice of this incident so some of you will get that notice, but we wanted to update everyone with this new information now.

Also, that dead templar chick wouldn't happen to be Cassandra? Reveal hidden contents Yes, it was supposed to be impossible, it's even highlighted in the book. Unknown how it's done in practice, but Wynne does tap the spirit possessing her (semi-explained in DAO) and dies herself in the process. In fact a larger theme for the book is that the mages are starting to question the limits set to magic by conventional/traditional wisdom. There's also a case of a Tranquil reversing the tranquilisation (thought to be impossible) etc. Templar chick, "Evangeline", is new to me at least. Walsingham said: You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Morgoth Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Finally, it's official. Rain makes everything better.
Starwars Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Guild Wars 2 is looking pretty interesting to me: Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Oner Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 That's what I've been trying to tell you guys, but no one listens. The first scene of the video, with the soft music and the painted animation is part of a trailer, and it's pretty sweet.

Morgoth Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Edit: Just watched the video. Nice try going for that Heart of Darkness arc, but I don't think video games are the best medium to tell such a story effectively. Edited February 12, 2012 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.

Malcador Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Aside from these lists usually being bunk. I'll reiterate the first comment on that page about them being drunk when picking this.

WDeranged Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Black Ops had a very good ending considering the genre, I feel bit shameful for enjoying that game but it was a decent ride, it depresses me to see it at the top of a BEST EVA! list...
Hurlshort Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I was actually surprised that there were a few decent games on that list. Portal was the best that I saw on there though.
Morgoth Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Well, I hope it's new. Either way, looks fantastic. Another new one Edited February 13, 2012 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Dialogue animations are still way over the top, they're exactly like the ones in Divinity 2. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
