Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[bminorkey]

REAL TALK: I don't think you can categorise Postmodernism like that, only Derrida's work and derivatives.

Full retard is back. Post modernism PRECEDES Derrida quite a lot.

Did you even read what I fucking said?

You didn't even bark back this time, Shrekky. I bet I can eventually train you to cut the pointless precedent and just fill all your posts with , like a good, domesticated pet.

 

[Zeronet]

I couldn't help myself and voted Call of Duty to troll.

It's better than rereading Plato for the seventh time. Besides, I genuinely think he'd like it.

The question is.. Has he?

Not seven times, but i did go through all of his works at least once. Plato is not a strict metaphysician, but he opened this discipline to me. I'm now actually onto Plotinus more then Plato. This is all in preparation of becoming a disciple of vedanta, the greatest metaphysical discipline of them all.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

This thread suddenly became even edgier than that sandnigger bridge to paradise.

 

[DraQ]

What can Volourn the nature of a Volourn?

Derpgret.

 

[Grimlorn]

Let's not talk about love. Let's talk about hate. It is not surprising that the Codex hates love. The Codex hates everything. the Codex hates everything. The Codex hates hate.

Here's evidence: I, Volourn, hate Fallout, and the Codex HATES the fact that i hate Fallout.

R00fles!

The Codex nothings you, Volourn. You simply serve as a reminder/warning of how far a Codexer can fall. What happens when you stare too long into the abyss.

"He who fights with r00fles should look to it that he himself does not become a r00fle...when you gaze long into the L0Ls the L0Ls also gaze into you..."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

Who's fighting?

 

[Lord Andre]

What's with the hipster-douchebag-artfag-pretentious-namedropping-"I read all these books but I still don't know shit about shit"-blatant cretinism running rampart in this thread. I thought this was a prestigious magazine. DERPfags think they're gonna become gods by reading Plato and indulging in piss-drinking rituals salvaged from obsolete religions from a 1000 years ago. Guess what, It ain't happening. Have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

 

[Blaine]

But I'm highly sophisticated and well read. Please believe me.







Please like me.

 

[Surf Solar]

IDK WTF is going on in this thread

 

[Lyric Suite]

Butthurt is what is going on.

 

[Executer]

We're going to transcend idiocy, that's for sure.

I want GameSpot to start referring to popamole gameplay as 'transcendent' and 'universal' in their reviews.

 

[Executer]

ITT we learn the Codex has never understood Torment. The more you know...

Not to sound like a panderer, but I'd love to hear the Lyric Suite-ian summary of what Torment is about.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Seriously, who else is with me on this? Would definitely read all of it.

Its been almost ten years since i've last finished Torment. I'm afraid my memory is too dim to do the game justice. But i remember enough to spot dumbfuckery when i see it.

That said, if Avellone is actually considering whether to write romances for this game, i would urge him to listen to the second act of Tristan und Isolde a few times. That ought to cure him out of it, knowing how much he loves opera.

Sounds like it's time to leave the scummy caverns of GD and do a let's play.

 

[Minttunator]

Derpgret.

Nice! This being posted right in the middle of the pseudo-intellectual douche-off made it even more hilarious.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Deionarra is the last female LS would call a moronic whore.

There is a quote by Rumi which goes something along the lines of the sage being easily conquered by the woman, while the fool, or the brute, conquers her. I think this sums up the entire problem of "love" in a nutshell. Deionarra represents an "ideal" of femininity which is at the very center of the type of experience one feels while being in love, an experience which is essentially paradisaical in nature. But being corrupted creatures, human beings can only achieve an approximation of this ideal, and many men are so eager for this experience that they often elevate a particular woman to this transcendent ideal, even if she does not measure up as an individual and can easily be swept away by males of a more coarse and perhaps even evil temperament. The tragedy in the story of Deionarra is that she was the real deal, and by abusing her love the Practical Incarnation didn't simply commit an act of cruelty against her personally, but he also committed a sin of the gravest order by defiling one of the most sacred aspects of divinity. Does this seem right?

 

[Tigranes]

What the hell happened here?

And I say that as someone doing a PhD and thus on a railroad to the Middle of Nowhere.

http://lfg.hu/56173/vegyes/interjuk/exclusive-interview-with-chris-avellone-on-project-eternity/

Site is Hungarian, the interview is in English.

 

[Volourn]

HAHAHAHA! He dissed PST in that intervier:

"Project: Eternity is not a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment – with the team we have at Obsidian, we’re creating something greater than that."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Lots of butthurt PSt fanboys are gonna stillm cryin'!!!v

HAHAHAHA!!!


"or example, each individual, regardless of class, will have the ability to customize their powers via experience and also through decisions they make in the game tied to their personality and playstyle."

 

[Jaesun]

Correct. Is is not a spiritual successor to Torment. Chris' KS project they didn't go through with yet. They went with Josh's instead.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Greater then a spiritual successor would be, not greater then Torment itself.

Link doesn't work for me. Halp i cannot into internetz.

 

[Volourn]

Actually, it wa svery clear. He said it would be greater than PST. HAHAHAHAH!

Not the first time he bashed the precious PST. I LVOE IT!!!

 

[Jaesun]

Link loads for me. Anyone else have a problem? Maybe you have Hungary blocked LS? heh

 

[wormix]

Doesn't load for me either. I can ping the site but nada. Had to use Google cache.

[Lyric Suite]

When the topics themselves are handled in a mature manner (which I feel we proved with religion in the New Vegas DLC: Honest Hearts, for example)

Can anybody elucidate on this? I have never played New Vegas.
