    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Interesting VD. I didnt know the quest with the boy had so many possibilities. Dragon age doesnt disappoint in that area, but it does in combat encounters.

    Unless you have picked the word "artsy" intentionally, ok. As far as my experience with the word "artsy" goes, it almost always implies pretending to be about art, the subject itself dealing with the concept of art and some intellectual masturbation over it. Grim Fandango has none of that. Other than hitting every nostalgy button someone big on 40s Hollywood might have and entertaining people witty dialogue and general humour,the game features exclusive and very good music, an elegant story and visuals with a unique vision through out the whole game that couldn't possibly be communicated as good in any other form, especially not in any static medium.

    Even if you don't view the game so highly and not get moved the same way I have, I think you'll recognize that it does provide a finely crafted and at least partly unique vision masterfully brought together that couldn't be told otherwise, which in my opinion, elevates it to some form of art. I wouldn't really want anyone to be lobotomized over that, though.

    Bluebottle and BN has expressed it beautifully, so I'll just say:

    Prepare for lobotomy squad. There's no escape. Resistance is futile.

    Almost done. I wanted to give Darth's Risen review a proper window for discussions but apparently nobody wants to talk about it.

    An amazing sane view.

    On that note, though, did you play Pathologic in a rendition that's... well, comprehensible? I've no idea what languages you speak, but I'm guessing it wasn't the English version you played.

    I can't bitch about DA or Risen because I haven't played any of them yet ...

    Ah well, this is the Codex after all. They're both shit.
