  1. Eclipse Phase - Transhumanist nerdrapture goes wrong

    Well, played a session over IRC yesterday. Can't say it went too well, although 90% of that was because the DM didn't know what he was doing. Started out with: "You receive an encrypted message from Firewall, yada yada" Not much different from the typical "You meet in a tavern deal". From...

  2. Eclipse Phase - Transhumanist nerdrapture goes wrong

    I suppose it depends on what you'd consider stupid. The setting itself is surprisingly hard sci-fi. There's only a few things that end up breaking physical laws and those are almost universally associated with singularity. [Pandora Gates, Exsurgent Virus, etc.]

  3. Eclipse Phase - Transhumanist nerdrapture goes wrong

    So Catalyst went ahead and released the .pdf of Eclipse Phase for free download under the creative commons license for all to have. http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/1276 ... ab=summary It's about 50mb's, most of that's the 402 page rulebook. And it's all about transhumanism. I'll...

  4. New Dwarf Fortress release

    Next couple releases are focusing on bug squashing. I do ever so hope Toady makes the code more efficient. My low-end computer only manages 25 fps with weather and temperature turned on. :(

  5. New Fallout 3 Screenshot?

    Is there really nothing else you can bitch about? I mean, honestly. Whatever codemonkey they had make their site did not go about doing it with malicious intent to keep new customers away from older Bethesda titles. That's beyond silly and is quite close to moronic. Look, I'm all for the...

  6. Development Info Dragon Age dialogues leaked!

    I'd always thought the Spartans were the least gay of the Greek city-states.

  7. D&D 4E announced for May 2008

    I'm still pissed off that <i>Dungeon</i> and <i>Dragon</i> were canceled. :evil:

  8. Weapon designs

    Well, Stalker is a pseudo RPG/FPS with much longer stints of gameplay, and even with the addition of realism mods, it doesn't get frustrating. Actually, the only time I find myself really pulling my hair, is when I'm trying to get to an NPC before his ass is eaten by pseudodogs or tushkanos or...

  9. Weapon designs

    ...That's not a scythe.

  10. Bioshock demo is out

    Only on xboxlive, from the looks of it. Anyways, I played it through, and well... it was 'meh'. It most certainly is not anything even remotely close to an RPG. Actually, it's pretty much just a straight up horror/FPS. I haven't played system shock [My computer is too new. :(] but I imagine it...

  11. New Settler's Game Beta

    Eh, I didn't find Settlers V all that impressive. It's basically just Age of Empires, except not as fun. I can't really say much more than that though, I only played it for about a half hour before uninstalling it.

  12. Starcraft 2 is an RPG

    You obviously never played on the 2vs2 servers, which remove roles entirely and let you order in units without restrictions. Regardless of that, even in the 16 player games, you could very, very easily call in support from the other players on the map with the icon/waypoint system. I can tell...

  13. Starcraft 2 is an RPG

    No, it perfectly shows what I'm pointing out. Which is that in Starcraft, a marine is meant to have support. They can never, ever, under any circumstances, overcome a 'superior' enemy like a protoss zealot one on one. It does not matter what tactics or strategies you might employ. World in...

  14. Starcraft 2 is an RPG

    I like starcraft, but the gameplay just doesn't do it for me. It's a lot less tactical, and a lot more pitting the right units against the right units at the right time, with base and resource management to distract you from battles. I was recently playing the World in Conflict beta, and it...

  15. New Mass Effect traielr from E32k7.

    No... you aren't actually. Gao the Lesser was entirely correct in his assessment of Master Li favouring you over all the other students. You're the only one who can defeat the Emperor, so naturally Master Li needs you alive. Ever wonder how the Lotus Assassins and Death's Hand found out...
