  1. Blue sky in American games?

    This one:
  2. Japan

    For a couple of months I've been eagerly awaiting a camera that I already put down 1000€ for, and the factory gets hit by an earthquake Also, it's less than 100km from the nuclear plant. Not to trivialize what's happening in Japan, but it's frustrating. Obviously there's a horrid disaster going on.
  3. Dragon Age II

    I want Fenris to get rid of all the corpses in his mansion. It's been years!
  4. Dragon Age II

    Definitely too much of that and what really bothers me is going back to the same dungeons time and again. It would probably be a more fun game if you just concentrated on the main quest, which is what I'll do if I ever play it again.
  5. Dragon Age II

    Sets are headwear-body-boots-gloves and when you have all equipped you see the effect in the abilities screen.
  6. Dragon Age II

    11. I updated my drivers (for some reason I was under the impression this was being done automatically, but no) and that fixed it. I wonder if there's a setting to disable the DOF effects. They just look stupid. Thank god I was able to disable the persistent gore. Hasn't Ferelden developed face-wiping technology? How could I possibly roleplay the kind of person who can have entire conversations without wiping the blood of his previous victim from his face?
  7. Dragon Age II

    I'm getting crashes to desktop every fifteen minutes. Also, customizing my appearance was good, but for some reason it's not as powerful as Mass Effect's was. I loved my Sasquatch Shephard That was his name, he didn't look like a Sasquatch, he looked like a gargoyle. But in a totally realistic way, he was a very realistic ugly bastard I thought.
  8. Dragon Age II

    Man. I received my download code today, only to be foiled by a release date check. I'll be able to actually start the game in about four and a half hours.
  9. Movie/TV recommendations

    And here's Mel Gibson: HWfsnxQHI34
  10. Movie/TV recommendations

    Those books must be dreadful fan service... DADoES is a one-off if there ever was one. MOBY DICK 2: Call Me Ishmaeler
  11. Dragon Age II

    They cut out most of the talky bits and exploring and replaced them with FMV. Not very representative of the game. I played the PS3 demo, and hated the actiony combat at least at the start. It was okay when I picked up a bow, that was more enjoyable than archers usually are in these games. Still, I wouldn't recommend the console versions.
  12. Movies of the genre "adventure"

    Too late now.
  13. Gemini Rue

    Oh cool, this is a must get after that demo. Seems to be terrific.
  14. Dragon Age II

    No, Bioware had been working on DA on and off for ages. The Origins bit got added later to emphasize the player characters' origin stories (probably by the same guy who did all the early trailers...). Dragon Age!
  15. Dragon Age II

    DA was damned combat heavy. I'm not complaining if that combat moves quicker and is more exciting. Far as I can tell your tactical choices haven't been cut down at all.
  16. Bill Gates in Doom

    Bill Gates doesn't know where the trigger is on a shotgun.
  17. Desura, Steam like for mods

    I just downloaded this in order to install the Mechwarrior Crysis Wars mod, but it doesn't have any mods for Crysis Wars. So a bit useless for me. Like another Steam without the gaming functionality.
  18. Tabletop RPGs

    Oh, um, I was presuming roleplaying through voice chat and some program made for online tabletop roleplaying! Not interested in asynchronous
  19. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Farmville is not built to be disposable, that's the problem. It's built to occupy your thoughts for eternity.
  20. Tabletop RPGs

    Oh my lord I would love this.
  21. *Face-palm* (Bulletstorm)

    Walker's already going beyond the call of duty. He only needs to disprove "naughty words in violent video games causes rape". After all, Bulletstorm has zero sexual content. The claim is that using the words "facial" and "gangbang" as puns will cause players to rape women.
