<a href="http://www.gamespot.com/">GameSpot</a> has a <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/titanquestexpansion/news.html?sid=6166022&mode=previews">developer diary dealie</a> about the expansion pack to <a href="http://titanquestgame.com/">Titan Quest</a>. Meanwhile, I wish <b>Brian Reynolds</b> would get back to making things like <A href="http://www.firaxis.com/smac/">Alpha Centauri</a>. So, here's the lead in:
<br>
<blockquote>When we set out to create the expansion to Titan Quest, Hades was an obvious choice. It was the one realm of Greek mythology that we hadn't yet touched. The possibility for some great new settings, monsters, and a new epic tale set in the afterlife was just too much of a temptation. For Immortal Throne, we decided to create a story about the repercussions that follow the conclusion of Titan Quest. You have saved the world, literally, but not before your enemies have done some pretty serious damage. Not only is the globe still filled with monsters, but the gods have decided they're leaving mortal problems to the mortals, while they keep a safer distance from everything. So we asked ourselves, who and what was staying in line just because the gods were there, laying down the law? This is where the main idea for Immortal Throne began.</blockquote>
<br>
Heck, you're super high level, all you have to do is just kill all those monsters. After all, it's only boring killing low level monsters in turn based, right? So, no need to go to Hades!

Meanwhile, I wish Brian Reynolds would get back to making things like Alpha Centauri.

Reynolds says don't hold your breath.

Expansion for TQ = hack²+slash²+boredom²-$$$-$$$=craps³

Why do you lie?

 

[Section8]

Awesome. I hope they make it resemble Judeo-Christian Hell. More games need lava and devils.

 

[Shannow]

styx, charon and cerberus....

and

lava and devils

*g*

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could play a game where you are an angel and you storm Enfermandy Beach in Hell, sitting in the celestial lava chariot while the seraph cries, "THIRTY SECONDS!" then soon the ramp drops rapid-firing pitchfork projectors wipe out your whole squad and only you make it over the side of the chariot with your holy bolt thrower. Then you have to call down the Wrath of God on the sulfuric bunkers with holy incense marker grenades while defending yourself from attack cerebuses and Hellmacht infantry. Add in a <s>dash</s> metric ton of bloom and it's like multi headed dicks. I'm going to be rich.

No, you won't! That shit was meant to be in Diablo 3 MMO.

No I left out the part about how everyone was a cartoon with 13x^2+7x damage reduction and have (.56)6x+9x^(1/2) attack ratings.
