I got my hands on Shogun 2 Total War collectors edition for 25$:

^ That is indeed a twenty-five dollar value.

[Drowsy Emperor]

And let me tell you, plastic figures ain't no more the **** we used to play with as kids. The detail of the sculpt is surprising.

 

 

Of course the former sentence doesn't apply to you. If you were ever a kid you probably played with a bayonet and a brodie helmet.

This was the last Shogun game I owned:

 

[Amentep]

What do you guys think about Elder Scrolls Online?

 

It doesn't look like much on the gameplay video I saw graphics wise (and art style wise). The animations are no better whan WoW.

 

Any noteable gameplay features?

 

Ever since I saw the leaked gameplay footage, I've been cautiously optimistic. Instead of following some kind of strict quest path, pretty soon after making his character, the player pretty much went "Imma go to find ADVENCHAA!" and got a quest by inspecting an NPC corpse while walking on the beach, then used traditional Elder Scrolls style stealth to bypass enemies right after killing a few bandits by flinging fire spells in 1st person view.

 

I dunno, they may be able to put the Elder Scrolls experience into an MMO yet.

 

My biggest annoyance was how alien they had made the spell system... but then I remember Skyrim spells and this is a wa-ha-hay better alternative to that

[Katphood]

Man, the new Wolfenstein game looks neato. I am also pleased to hear that former starbreeze employees are working on the game. The Darkness and Escape From Butcher Bay were great games.

By the age if it I'd say it could be your mistress.

Still using a Parabellum? Old skool Nazi indeed.

Oldskool maybe, but very reliable.

[Zoraptor]

In the nazi version of Mass Effect, Dr Chakwas was not pleased when you forgot her Space Brandy?

[Mamoulian War]

Hmm... another NeXtBox news...

Yo dawg, I just ran some Ethernet and brought my speakers into the garage so I can play Infinity while sitting in my Infiniti, blasting sweet explosions and tunes over my Infinity speakers while I download over XFinity.

Yo.

I wonder how they're going to top that name for the followup console...

 

Omnipotence?

Wait, wait just a sec.  I missed something. Did Morgoth just say his mother was someone's mistress???

[Monte Carlo]

^ Any matters concerning Morgoth's mother and I are none of your concern.

[rjshae]

Oops, wrong forum... (walks out quickly).

[NOK222]

Sure is getting BSN in here

A reboot of the franchise, calling it the XBOX without the hyphen.

[Humanoid]

Given it's the third release, the followup then is XBox 3.1, followed by XBox 3.11 for Workgroups.

[Malcador]

Infinity+1
