Intrepid Homoludens

cool, spaffzilla! thanks, and did i tell you how fooking sexy you are? well, i never did and i never will. i wanna go back later after finishing and start from scratch as a nimble thief/mage/hot lover type. i want him to grow just enough horns to make him slightly wicked, but in the end still good hearted. prodigal stealthy sexy motherfooker if you will.

Kingz: "Trep, a deranged madman is building an army of psychic death tanks to take over the world! And there's no one who can stop him. Except for you and me!" Trep: "O my god! Go wank yourself in a corner and leave me out of it!"

Oops, I didn't know you had to register to get to the trailer! LMAO: Raz: "Billie Lili*, a deranged madman is building an army of psychic death tanks to take over the world! And there's no one who can stop him. Except for you and me!" Billie: "O my god! Let's make out!" I seriously hope the whole script will have this quality! * Corrected as per that Remo guy.

Played the Crimson Skies: High Road To Revenge demo off the disc that came with Fable. Wow, it's fun! I never thought I'd totally be sucked in by a flight 'sim' before. Is it the easy to pick up controls? The pinpoint way of handling the aircrafts? The beautiful graphics and grand scale of the gameworld? The way my tummy almost turns along with the himmelman air stunt? All the above? I don't know how realistic the way the planes handle are, but frankly I don't care, they're awesome. It feels quite a bit like how an Indiana Jones movie would be if he were a pilot adventurer. Even the orchestral music is evocative of 1930s alternate airship type world of good guys versus Nazi bastards. I checked it out in reviews, and it got very good reception. I'd like to get this game for sure, even my niece and nephew really got into it, and they're really picky (hmmm, could convince niece's 'rents to get it for her birthday. Anyone here play it?

Fun! So there are no actual in-game footages available yet?

Then you might like Crimson Skies: High Road To Revenge, Erk. It's very easy to pick up, and soon you'll be doing stunts and flying through awesome obstacle course* and engaging in doggie fights. Don't take my word as gospel, though, it's simply based on my experience with the Xbox demo. I want the full game myself, but it's not high on my list (mostly 'cause I'm piss poor) so I'll wait til I stumble on it on sale for real cheapo. *

Exactly. I love the over-the-top 'popcorn movie'-ness of it. But that sucks that the game can't let you play individual missions over. Sucks even more that it doesn't offer a single player skirmish mode where you can choose your level, number of enemies to fight, and goals to get. Sadly, I don't subscribe to Xbox Live so I can't have you guys kick my ass online.

Are you a space alien too?

Evidently in Fable it's possible to shoot an enemy's head off with one very well placed arrow. I'm planning on re-playing it in the near future, but this time I want to be a highly stealthy thief and ace archer, with strong magic skills.

That's right, my hot little sir. I am a space alien. Otherwise, fukc you.

Hmmm, not sure how I feel about that Summon spell, haven't 'activated' it yet. But, I do find the Ghost Swords to be quite convenient. It works very well at distracting multiple enemies while I deal with them one at a time, so I don't have to worry so much about getting bonked from all sides. Good stuff. BTW, that boss battle in the Bandit's camp was very suspenseful, I didn't think I'd make it. Halfway through it I finally realized his weak point (after all but wiping out my food supply for health), and I went from there. However, the plot turning cutscene that followed sucked major!! I mean, come Mr. Molly Knew!! I want pure emotion! I want to grow limp and cry like a baby finding out what happened to you-know-who!

Please, Marek. You're giving me a hard-on. I rarely ever use profanity when I'm talking to someone.

Yeah, Kingzelbub! Pipe it down, you shamelessly profane ruffian. You got them things called 'culture' and 'noggin', take advantage of 'em and find us some interesting ways to use them langwage! On a[n even more] serious note, I've quite cut down my own profanity, here and at AG. It's not necessarily because I wanna win the stray soccer mom or 11-year-old bible thumping kid over, it's more that I find that swear words retain their provocative potency and that certain "I-don't-what-what" when used quite sparingly. Cursing can also be an artform, you know. Oh, darn it, I need to get some more frigging coffee!! brb...

As disgusting as it is, I love kicking the heads of bandits all around like a football after chopping them off.

Screw the freebie t-shirts and all that other crap, I just want the game. If it ships on 6 cds, fine. If it's on DVD, fine. I'm not interested in Steam, as long as Valve offers separate patch downloads for those of us who bought the discs.

Just a brief progress report, FYI: Hero renown name: It is now Sabre (previously Piemaster). Still no interesting name available. Behaviour: Sabre still flirts with both sexes. But now that he's advanced practically every woman in Oakvale has fallen in love with him. However, he's been courting an attractive blonde fellow in Barrows Field and is on the verge of marrying him. He is still a virgin. He had just purchased his childhood home in Oakvale and sleeps there in between quests. He's still quite mischievous, poking in people's homes in search of things to steal. Unfortunately he hasn't had much time to visit the schookids in Bowerstone South, now that he's very busy with all these quests. When not kicking Balverine ass, Sabre likes the meditative sport of fishing. Skills status progress: Still focused on Strength - physique over level 3 (yay!), health bar as high as I can afford, toughness alongside. With Skill, Sabre is now more agile and quicker with his Greataxe. His magic bar is much higher now, with emphasis on Lightning, Fireball, and Enflame. Strong melee combat skills augmented with Attack Spells is his specialty. Alignment: Saber's developed a faint halo, not quite sure how I feel about that. He's ultimately good hearted, but will still punch any traveller who laughs at him or makes awkward remarks. Appearance: I'm afraid I've fallen in love with Sabre. He has that perfect musculature just now, not too beefy and nice shoulders. Those battle scars on his face are fooking sexy! His hair (now that he's got it) is going blonde, which I'm ambivalent about, surprised me because I thought he'd stay a brunette. He prefers the darker clothes. He now sports a menacing face tattoo (forgot what it's called) which goes nicely with that tattoo on his chest that, according to the info, is supposed to drive enemies insane when they see it.

Hmmm. Verrrrry interesting. Thanks for the heads up, Erkkstud. I'll have to enlighten my fellow ForeverDream-ers about this, as we're working on our Curves Of Danger game, another murder mystery. Does this mean I have to re-install Half-Life and download Steam again? Yech.

Well hey, the more platforms it's on the merrier!

Not very wise of them, is it?

I don't have a garden. You can walk on my front lawn instead. My sister just mowed it the other day.

Unless the original seal is on the game box, I will open a game inside EB right after I buy it, and in full view of the staff.

You stole his monacle?!!! You. Suck. Major!!!

Nintendo discs? The CEO, or whoever's in charge, is a dork. It's because of him that Nintendo lost out to the deal with Sony back in the early 90s, and Sony went ahead and created the Playstation.
