  1. Yeah, most people who are die-hard fans of the series pretend that 2 doesn't even exist, so if you love it, you will either hate or REALLY love the others. Go back to play 1. Seriously. You just need to. There are massive high-def upgrade mods available just like for Morrowind that make it look like it came out barely a year or two ago.
  2. Eh, if you're too picky, you miss out on too much in life. 90% awesome is still awesome; You'd spend way too much time unfulfilled waiting for 99% every time. Enjoy playing a game where you might get banned at any moment on the whim of a guy with a hair trigger just because some other guy halfway across the planet pissed him off that day.
  3. A lot of what you mentioned about DE1 could probably be modded away. I'll find out when I go to play it, but with Diablo still holding my interest and SW:TOR's update 1.3 hitting on Tuesday...well, hell. Maybe in July... Your handle makes me think of the Criminal Minds where they referenced the kingfisher.
  4. Oh gods, what have I started.
  5. I was almost to the point of being able to deal with crossing things like "its" and "it's", but I've become increasingly aware of people putting an apostrophe in pretty much any word that ends with the letter 's', like "say's" and "thing's". FUCKING WHY
  6. Go ask in the Tekkit forum.
  7. I got it back when it was The Orange Box. *hipster*
  8. Not as good as the first one, but for those of us with low standardd, plenty good enough. Doesn't have to be filet mignon to be a good steak.
  9. He can point out some of the worst parts of a game, sure, I'll admit, but you still should not base your opinion on his videos, even if you find yourself agreeing with him most of the time. Watch his video, get a few chuckles out of it, and then go watch at least one review of the game to see if the same things start coming up. You might be able to tell a lot about a game based on who chooses to emphasize or ignore flaws that are "obvious" to the "community". My first JRPG was Evolution on the Dreamcast. (I don't count stuff like Final Fantasy on NES because there wasn't really a developed "JRPG" style yet, back then.)
  10. Yahtzee is a satirist, not a reviewer. If you use him for anything other than entertainment, you're an idiot.
  11. It's a singleplayer mod, dumbass.
  12. Cheap Shot's gonna need a new mirror.
  13. Time-consuming, yes. You could cheese them and blast through quickly, but that would skip half the game. It's not sidequest-y but it does focus on exploration and detailed examination.
  14. A lot of deep thought about the possible futures of humanity, science, and cybernetic augmentation. As close as you'll get to tge great speculative fiction of Bradbury's era, nowadays. Also the Cynical Brit's #1 game of all time. Specially known for the ability to play through without killing anyone. That feature not as good in the new one, but story reaches new heights. IW generally considered a disgrace and ignored.
  15. On Steam now, get the GOTY original, and the new 3 (HR) and all its DLC, for the price of two lunches! Oh, amd you get Invisible War too, if you care.
  16. SCTV ruined many successful marriages.
  17. It's only the degree of money involved that makes me unhappy. I would have already spent money on all those games if we were talking 10 or 20 bucks, but hundreds? Fuck off with that. I could get a GTX 580 for what those games want out of me. I subscribe to wow and swtor both, hugeassed games with loads of content and fidelity with no time restrictioms, for what it costs to get a couple bloody fish. My gods.
  18. The only thing that drove me away from Runescape was the rabid anti-botting measures punishing innocents along with the guilty (one of my soapboxes). Bad enough that it randomly turns your camera to defeat auto-clickers, but I couldn't even set up very simple keyboard macros to condense fiddly repeated mouse movements to prevent my hand from going numb, without getting banned for botting. This, in a game designed for repetition and grinding. Fuck health and safety: Get the botters up the ass!
  19. What does $60 buy you, nowadays? Let's see... One full-priced big-studio release. 3-12 indie releases. Four months of WoW or SW:TOR. Three months of every Sony MMO simultaneously. Six months of DDO. Or... One polar bear, one ninja penguin, and one emperor penguin in Tiny Farm. Five hippopotomi in Aqua Story. Two strong dragons in Tap Dragon Park. Four 6-card booster packs in Rage of Bahamut. If I were to pick just one of those "casual" mobile games, and spend just enough money to buy all of the unique things (utilizing discounts for large purchases as well as not spending money on consumables like boosts), I would have spent enough money to purchase World of Warcraft and all of its expansions as well as an entire year's worth of game time. Need I mention that most of these mobile games are sprite-based, laggy even on newer phones with 1.2 GHz dual-core processors with a gig of RAM, 0-2 total music tracks (and some not even having sound output at all), -and- a lot of these games requiring adding as many as 40 friends and referring as many as 8 people to the game to even get some of the stuff that can't even be bought with cash? Somehow, this bothers me.
  20. Don't you know? Society tells us you can't be sexist towards a man, just like you can't be racist towards a white guy. And I always blindly follow society. Doesn't everybody?
  21. My god, do your sentences ever make sense? The fuck...
  22. That's what voice-changers are for: Prevent anyone from knowing you're female, while earning infinite nerd-points by sounding like a drunken Darth Vader.
  23. Hear hear.
  24. Lion-O and Cheetarah are organizing a Snarf league.
  25. Are you really going to try to tell an Englishman what to smoke? They'll invade and colonize your ass, man.
