I'm a closet Stephen King fan. Some of his material isn't really original ( just some rehash with strange twists) but I like his vernacular writing style. However, I more interested in his body of fiction rather than his horror. And the apex of King's work, the Jupiter of his Literary Universe...

Hmm, it's only been about one year since the events in the first Max Payne yet Max seems like he's aged a coupla years. He's still got the leather, though. A business suit accented with a leather jacket. What a stud. Anywho, you'd figure that Max would be in alot of trouble after going around...

Naw, it's not really new. Per mentions it in his walkthrough though I never tried it.

Well, being the moderator of a board dubbed "Troika Board", I suppose that my opinion would be grossly subjective. In fact, I've proclaimed myself a fanboy of Troika (though not of the rabid fanboy varient). So you might think, "Oh, of course, he's blinded by the love of this company, sure he's...

Well my friend, don't give up hope yet. Yes, there are many dimly lit areas but I think that is intentional. One way I've been able to see better is raising up the gamma on my monitor (most monitors has this option unless they are greatly outdated). And yes, during daytime it is easier to see...

Will this affect the release date in any way? I thought the release was to be around Christmas time (but, then again, the release date has been changed so many times). I wonder whether the source code and map builds is enough to conflict with the actual official game and thus necessitate change...

I offered that idea to Welsh sometime during the first chapter but I see how hard it would to get published. First off, one guy would have to do all the editing and grammatical check (not me, probably welsh). And then splitting the royalties a dozen ways wouldn't be fun or we would have to edit...

Case in point: Baldur's Gate by Philip Athans. Now, you've got to keep in mind that I write this with tongue in check. I'm personally a fan of Baldur's Gate, it's add-on Tales of the Sword Coast, it's sequel Shadows of Amn, and even the Icewind Dale series. All those games based on the...

I dunno, the bugs kinda grow on you after a while. You know it's really endearing when you're paladin has fallen because someone else partakes in a drinking contest or when one of your boys dies but doesn't loose all his HP only to be still alive with the "Dying" status that has you so befuddled...

In Baldur's Gate, I remember making the 24 hour trip from Candlekeep to arrive at the spider-infested forest. Needless to say, my companions were irratible with the lack of sleep. So I pressed the sleep button and I'm awoken by "the noise of snarling ettercaps" which are more then a challenge at...

I'm generally leery of fan made patches for the base game but there's been so many bugs on my first go around that I'm going to install it before making another party. Hopefully, this patch won't interfere in any subsequent Troika patches (if they do indeed come).

Gustav, I'd recommend only the Final Fantasy Tactics game. It's out for Playstation or Gameboy Advance. The rest of the Final Fantasy games will only be enjoyable if you like console RPGs and, uh, anime. Tactics is more strategic with RPG elements. Montez, both the Shining Force games were...

I've played both Shining Force 1 and 2 but I didn't beat neither. I think I got jaded on Shining Force 2 with what class I should change each of my characters. It's a good game (both of them!) for the first few battles but it goes slightly downhill later on. However, if you liked Shining...

I just bought the DVD box of the Band of Brothers series and I thought it was rather decent (not worth buying, but I missed it on HBO). There's so many actors at the beginning that it's hard to remember their names until you define roles for them. Damien Lewis (who also played Jonesy in the...

I bought a sound card a few years ago and it came with a free software called "Dragon Naturally Speaking" or something along that line. It was pretty decent, actually. At that time, I had a pretty crappy mic but that didn't seem to have much effect. You spent maybe an hour or less reading a...

Can I touch-type? Sure, in fact, I'm doing it right now! Zounds, how the modern world keeps improving. Just about everyone I know can "touch-type". But let's see them implement capitalization, punctuation, and grammar into it. I blame chatting and acronyms for loosey-goosey replies like...

I noticed that "chrisbeddoes" was present at the Troika chat at RPGCodex. For those of you who don't know, chris was a heavy-hitter modder of the Arcanum community. I'll have to see if I can contact him for plans for possible mods.

That's some good stuff.

I have the full version of Lionheart and I've maybe played a total of eight hours with it. I wasn't impressed with the combat, it seemed to Diabloesque hack n' slash. Some of the bugs on ToEE are devastating but not enough to make you quit the game in frustration. I can only imagine that a...

If they do indeed add a patch. Huy Nguyen has said that he, personally, would like to stream one out but he's unable to do so officially at this moment. DU, you've got it easy really. Montez and I are horribly addicted to the game as it is, littered with bugs and all. Here's one bug: my...
