Intrepid Homoludens

I agree. But then I haven't played the full game yet, and I loved the 'physical agility' puzzles in the demo.

I haven't even gotten my hands on the full Sands of Time game yet! I've played the demo to death and back. Hmmm, should look for it for cheap online, I saw it at CompUSA for $20 last weekend but didn't have the cash at the time. Dang it.

Oh puh-LEEZ. You'd have to try far desperately harder to freak me out. I know how you work. And as for my favourite dish....well, let's just say I have plans to 'dine' at that restaurant in Oregon this December. I cannot wait.

I hereby announce that I will do a gamer's blackout on Psych:grin:nauts. That means no more looking at the latest screenshots, movies, and previews and interviews. No being gullible and getting into the hype, no analyzing every single pixel of screenshots or projecting my wet phantasies on gameplay. Occasionally I'll check up on the game's progress by just reading little bits of news when they pop up (like if it's being delayed, etc.). But until the game goes gold (at least for Xbox) I have other things to do. And no, Tim Schafer is not GOD, he's just some really cool guy with a great imagination who makes games ( at Kingz, Chris, and Moos in particular). Anyone wanna join me in this? I actually did the same with Fable and Half-Life 2. Heh, it's a case of 'ignorance is bliss'.

Marek, I swear! You even think of abandoning the Thumb and I'll personally pay her to come to your house and annoy you for the rest of your insignificant life:

I knew it! Moos would be the first one to respond to this thread! Ha! [starts googling for more 'pussy du jour' pics to distract him from Psychonauts]

Ah, so you like to project your wet phantasies onto upcoming games. You are sick, man.

Hey, that's a breach of war etiquette (or any etiquetter for that matter), ambushing some guy just when he's 'excusing' himself. How rude! How'd you like someone doing that to you?

So then, it should be possible to go back in time to where that 'evil' skank was trying to decide what outfit to wear for the entire story and game and tell her: "No. NO! You are not going to do that stereotypical RPG slut metal thong thingie! Honey, you've got a sh!tload more dignity than that!"

You're absolutely fucked up after reading anything by Hermann Hesse.

Well, I did manage to finally kill her, but not the way I wanted to. I got 3 guards to chase me to her in Bowerstone North. I thought if I stayed close to her they'll hit her by mistake instead of me and eventually waste her. Didn't happen, I kept receiving the swords, not her. So I started to punch and kick her. Eventually she expired, but not before she divorced me, which I didn't want. Damn. That, and the guards kept coming nonstop, so I reloaded the game. Tried murdering her again, but this time in the privacy of her bedroom. But she wouldn't die! She just kept screaming for help (which never came), and she never threatened divorce. Wtf! And she never leaves Bowerstone so I can't lure her into the woods and dispatch her there. If anyone has any idea how to get rid of her (without divorce) let me know. Thanks.

In other words: pre-fab vixen blow up doll your average RPG nerd guy with no social life would get hard-ons over.

Jade Empire Gamespy preview I'm curious about this one. Upon finishing Fable (which I'm going to play again but develop my hero differently) I realized how much I like Action RPGs, or rather, that I like these kinds of single player games where I get explore and interact with NPCs within an overarching main story, as well as develop my character gradually over the entire course (such as with Deus Ex). I hope Jade Empire has a substantial enough story and freedom. Anyone else keeping an eye on this one?

WTF! What is that?!! Man, that is the worst you could do, turning her into a stereotypical RPG fantasy slut. I loved the original look of Farah in Sands Of Time (with her air of fierceness and innocence mixed with womanliness), she at least looked distinguished and fresh compared to those pre-fab vixen blow up dolls your average RPG nerd guy with no social life would get hard-ons over. And now look what they've done. They've trivialized and objectified poor Farah!! I want my old Farah back!!! :\

That or trying to gauge which direction Wanda And The Giant Colossus will be coming from.

OMG! Does this mean that Windows has hidden easter eggs?! Man, that would !!!

I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. It would be shocking if Fable didn't port to PC, considering it sold over a million when it just came out. Jade Empire, if that successful, should naturally port over.

Yes they are, upwards of $15. Because they're fully illustrated and everything, they're expensive to produce. Only real hardcore gameheads with extra money to waste buy them. The only one I ever bought was a Primo Guide for Tomb Raider: TLR, and that was pretty useless after I finished the game. Anyone want it?

Shit! Okay. No more beers for Liberator. He's starting to get a belly. Damn.

FINISHED!! Hero renown name: Liberator. Yaaaaawwn! General world progress: Done, at over 50 hours (much of which was spent on exploration and looking for goodies). Behaviour: Liberator has been too busy trying to stop that Jack of Blades bastard to do anything anymore (least of all fart and sneer). Forgot about hubby back at Bowerstone South (who stopped being affectionate anyway), and that annoying wife Lady Grey, who he never loved, married her only as a means to move further. Class: Legendary Spellwarrior. Skills status progress: Liberator has maxed out his strength, etc., as well as Assassin Rush and Slow Time. These combined, he is nearly invincible, speed fused with sheer physical force. His main weapon now is the Katana Hiryo (found in Lady Grey's bedroom), with the brilliant Harbinger sword (pulled from the rock at the temple of Alvo by maxing out strength skills) a close second. He finally maxed out his archery skills, augmenting it with maxed out Multi Arrow will skills. Convenient. Alignment: Good, above and beyond everything. After finally defeating the climactic final boss, he was given the opportunity to kill a pivotal character and claiming the ultimate powerful weapon but refused, thus staking his supreme benevolence in all of Albion. Appearance: At 65+ years old, he looks weathered (battle scars and faint traces of tattoos long since removed) but supremely formidable and still youthful, what all younger inexperienced men dream of achieving. The Samruno Tattoo on his face and head, and the Vambrace Tattoo on his arms indicate an advanced stage of championship. He has the Buzz cut and is clean shaven. At the moment he's in the bright spellcaster's suit (found beyond the demon door at Rose Cottage), but will don the plate torso (a gift from schoolteacher hubby) and chainmail pants for very heavy battles. Overall he looks very powerful and invincible, but those baby blue eyes belie the sweetest heart. He is godlike yet tender, placing family and goodness above all, even at the expense of becoming the most powerful hero in the world. Definitely deserving of a night of celebration with beer and meat and pies at the tavern!! Well, after saving all of Albion's ass, Liberator decided to celebrate by going into every single tavern and buying everyone beers. It's fun seeing everybody drunk and staggering around, but he's joined in as well, if you ignore him throwing up every other moment. Hooray! He's getting the whole town drunk!

I hate white bread myself. It's scary.

Sweetbabyjeezus, that is encouraging news indeed!!

kewpie say thank you.
