You remind me of an old debate I read where some guy was arguing that rape (or sex without consent of the other) was a biological instinct and that it was an existing behavior among some species. The guy got flamed and buried by everyone. On the flamers side, clearly the intent of such...

They fucked that up but it seems you can get the modularity you want by yourself using VLite which seems to work for Windows 7 if you're carefull when removing components. http://windows7news.com/2008/11/14/windows-7-lite/

Seriously, bator is a pain in the ass to play through, especially when you must find the exit portal and the muthafukin' dragons keep spawning from nowhere decimating your party.

I personnally think Art as we know it is doomed to vanish so... The only relevant question is what will we want to remember and conserve 100 years from now and I'm pretty sure Games will be part of this stuff. Also, why should we care about what an old chap says about a youth culture ?

Dumb businessman is dumb. Demos are just a way of advertising your product. Since when is advertising a fucking luxury to the customer ? The analogy with other mediums is also dumb, he got it totally wrong : you have the equivalent of a demo on every other support = an excerpt of the...

No they can't. If you did read my posts and especially the wikipedia link you'd understand the difference between stealing and infringing. Did you call it stealing when you borrowed your friends game ? I'm pretty sure you didn't. Do you call it stealing when you buy a second-hand game ? I'm...

You may have heard that when violation of Intellectual Property is involved we have created other words (plagiarism, infringement), and this precisely to avoid doing such stupid confusions as assimiling *illegal* copy to theft. Tip : Theft contains the notion of deprivation, whereas copying...

Downloading is NOT and WILL NEVER be theft. Downloading is copying information. It has nothing to do with the act of depriving someone of a physical object he owned. Stop repeating what the majors and publishers hammer into your brain throughout all the media. Also, fuck the RIAA.

Thank you, I finally found a signature !

Hum the wiki still points to the latest version (1.5) so it's quite up to date.

Okay, so I have discovered this wonderful game a few days ago, I'm impressed at how *immersive* and fun the Turn-Based combats are in this game. But the point of my post is not this. You all already know how great a game this is. The point of my post is that I just discovered there is a...

You're right about the alternate teams. I guess I'm just starting to get enough money to have two alternative teams (~16000$/day). This was out of the question until now. That leads me to a question about the stealth part. Is silent killing possible ? I didn't encounter any means of...

I'm a bit sceptic about healing and stuff though. Thing is healing takes ages so in Expert mode I end up saving/loading a LOT to keep my mercs healthy because things get messy if one loose like 50% of his health you have to wait like 2 days for him to heal back to 100%. I mean, it's not like...

Playing Jagged Alliance 2. I did forget how fun simple turn-based tactics can be when done right.

I understand the distinction you're trying to make, I just don't agree with you that top-down view doesn't provide the first type of immersion. When I play JA2, Fallout 2 or Planescape Torment, I feel like I'm inside the world I'm playing in because the sounds and graphics suck me inside the...

I have to call bullshit on you too. Top-down view doesn't pull you out of the scene : you are still part of it, just with a different point of view. It doesn't mean at all that you as a player will feel less immersed in the scene. You're just at another location. Try playing Jagged Alliance 2...

On the contrary, I think immersion is indispensable in a "role playing" game. Role playing mean you identify yourself to your character. Fallout 1 and 2 are immersive games in that the world feels real and coherent and because it succeeds to make you identify yourself to the fate of your...

Part of what make Fallout 3 voice-acting sucks is their non-existent facial animations. Geez, they even got it right in VMTB and it came out back in f*ing 2004.

Saying meat is "disgusting" as a reason for being vegetarian is quite vague and odd. The main reasons I heard for being vegetarian are : - empathy for animals (you don't want to be responsible for an animal suffering/dying) - sanitary concern (eating meat is *said* to be unhealthy) -...
