One of the best examples of a well executed scary level design. In this whole level, there is really 0 enemy/aggressive creature. Yet you're here shitting your pants. And you can really die in this level. It's the house that can kill you. Not a dumb army of zombie with a cheap scare factor...

The only problem ? DnD sucks. It's the p'n'p equivalent of a MMORPG. And NWN2 is the low-scale equivalent of a MMORPG as well. Open Door, kill monster, loot, level-up. Except the players feel hardcore because it's not mainstream. Or go on a "RP" server, which basically means, make up...

HAhahahahahaha. It's just too funny. I mean... What the fuck... It's like a plague. No one has to take over old and hardcore franchises to turn them into mainstream. Yet they do it with every single one ! JA was one of the few that had been spared. But today, it fell too, and the plague...

So what you're saying is you're throwing five times the reasonable price out the window just so you have a useless piece of hardware that will be useful 5 years after, but will cost a shitload less... Great. In 4-5 years, we may very well be using new standards types of RAM, or it could very...

Oh please.... Do you call yourself a computer expert ? You can always add more ram when needed... You're not future-proofing anything, you're literally throwing money out the window for an impact on your daily computer use that will be near 0. Do what you want with your money, but please...

The french wikipedia page says one candidate in six has been accepted in 2006. So you better prepare a backup plan in case you're rejected.

You're comparing apples and oranges here. We don't care about 200$ jeans because there's plenty of choice for cheap alternatives. The market game, however is flooded by big budget but content-scarce games, published by a handful of "majors". In this context, yes, the trend of DLC's is a...

I think we're more talking about some publishers abusing a monopoly here, and hence always giving us less and less content, and making us pay more for it. People vote with their money, maybe, but when there are just shitty candidates, they vote anyway. So they get the money anyway. The game...

So you're the kind of guy to search a bathtub of shit with your bare hands in the hope of finding some diamonds ? Well, I guess it's just a matter of having a different balance measuring what you lose (time being bored) and what you get (1% of interesting stuff) However, I fear Fallout 3 is...

Yeah, right because America doesn't have this kind of problems. Neither with its oil production, and neither with its... coal production, right ? http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/economy/toxic-coal-sludge-that-choked-ky-towns-water-sources-aquatic-life-10-years-ago-lingers-104696624.html...

Aka, when a single company can put millions of people in health threatening conditions and fuck up the entire eco-system. So, after the wall of the reservoir n°10 broke, an estimated 35 million cubic feet of toxic waste have spilled onto the land, destroying a village. The higly corrosive...

There is, however, in the midst of this seemingly naive and egocentric topic, an interesting problem : everyday we are spending more and more resources, just for the sake of what we call "health care", on extending life at all costs. But at which point health care stops become being health...

Just download DosBOX already ! It works on vista. Problem solved, enjoy your oldies...

Well, however, there is a funny alternate theory. But I don't mean to undermine the fact the plane was too old. It surely was. I just find the theory that someone got caught in the hole and hence the plane blew up morbidly ... funny...

Maximum level is 50 if I remember correctly. So, don't worry, characters always tend to be a little overpowered in the end of the game. The beginning is the hardest part, you feel you can't do anything and progression is slow. Also, the better memories I have are with my Inventor build...

I guess public service only exist in Europe after all... Glad to be living here.

That's where you forgot the social part. Again, returning to our etymological roots, Roleplaying means playing the role of someone, in the broadest acception of the term. And I don't think I would be exagerating if saying social interactions compose the most important part of one's "choices and...

Roleplaying Game is a term whose etimology goes back to before the computer era. So you know, I'd use its meaning back then as a starting point before elucubrating about how statistics and classes define the genre... A pen'n'paper roleplaying game can pretty much be played without any dice...

There are some situations in which a seatbelt can prove useful [/b]
