    And it could be just like Where's Waldo?, only it was set in a weird universe where absolutely everything and everyone was a walking sign that said "R00fles".

    *ahem* you were aware that Roman men would be classified as bi-sexual weren't you? Look up a definition of pedicare and consider the words of Horace:

    “…When your crotch is throbbing and there is a slave girl or slave boy ready at hand, whom you could jump right away, you don’t prefer to burst with your hard on, do you? I certainly don’t. I like sex that is easy and obtainable.”

    VD is probably aware of this, considering his sig contains a classic piece of Roman thinking: "everyone's a girl when they're face down." Caesar got called a Queen because he... bah.. you get my drift..

    Marking the illiterate scrawlings of some half-witted students vs trolling websites and getting drunk. I went for the latter option ;)

    Fact: Your user name on the RPG Codex is, currently, space captain.

    Once again, you are proved a liar.

    Dungeon Lords' combat is crap. Simple and stupid combos that dont work out very well, the evasive moves even more so.

    Blade of Darkness had pretty good combat for an action RPG. All in all, Dungeon Lords reminded me of a really shitty version of Blade of Darkness, and it wasnt fun and didnt have cool gore either.

    Gothic could be alright sometimes, Bloodlines was pretty good.

    Sounds like what I used to do for a crust.
    ...and this is what I used to do (and still do) to get over the disappointment.
    All my hard work and they still submitted crap. *sigh*

    gamespot score translation system:

    ( ( gamespotScore * 2 ) - 10 ) == finalScore

    note that I've never seen a gamespot score below 5, so this should yeild scores that actually fall between 0 and 10.

    soooo .. gsCorrectScore(6.8) == 3.6, much better.
