You see, he's called Hawkeye but he needs glasses so it's an ironic nickname lolololo

:(

Nearly shat my pants when I rang the bell in the monastery. There's a huge CRASH and you hear some shrieks, I thought I had released some uber monster into the dungeon.

The mook fighter is very useful, but kinda boring. Thinking of turning him into a samurai. I'll still get the samurai skills even if I'm not dual wielding blades, right?

Ragequitted two times already.
The gameplay is great but whoever thought it would be fun to spend two hours figthing an army of Max Paynes to get to a town is an aspie of the highest order.
Yeah, I especially like how the NPCs fight like 20 bandits on their daily stroll to the inn and then still complain how the dark tower ruins their peacefull village and proceed to tell some jokes... I really wanted to like this game, to explore the whole world with my glorious party, but even those that love this game will say that it's always filled with unlimited combat and in the end the fights get even more slow and long lasting... This is a game that really needed some mods.

Yup, these endless random encounters got on my nerves. Other games' filler content becomes the main course here, of course with much more tactical depth than the former. At one point, I just decided to watch an abbreviated walkthrough in order to see what this all is about. This is not the kind of game I like. In principle, I don't know why I even bought the box when it was published, as I had a similar experience with Wiz7, although the latter had a bit more charm in my opinion.

Shadoworlds, an isometric sci-fi action RPG with some pretty advanced and innovative use of light and shadow. Remains unique to this day. If only there could be a remake with improved pathfinding and AI...

I remember that game, although I never played it. Sadly it is the sequel, the prequel is a fantasy-romp RPG called Shadowlands.

It isn't a sequel, really, just a game with similar mechanics and using the same engine. There is no storyline continuity between Shadowlands and Shadoworlds, and the settings are completely unrelated.

Bought The WitCHA! 2 yesterday. I guess I'll provide screens once I can be arsed to install it. For now, have some photos I've taken of my trip through Skyrim.

Interesting fuckup. The barkeeper has the same dialog as the retard down the street (Narfi, who speaks in third person), presumably because both have the "[Show him the necklace]" topic. He even has his own voicefile for it, it's not just the other guy's voicefile assigned to him. That means the director wasn't paying attention and just let the actors read from a script laid out in front of them while he walked away to jerk off in the toilet or whatever it is that VA directors do it during worktime.

Fuckin lore, how does it work

One of those nice little environmental touches. These are found in the shore behind Winterhold college. I guess the guy sitting down laid a trap for the other one so he could eat his delicious corpse. I just don't know when it happened - Winterhold city was supposed to be above them before the incident that sent it into the sea. If this happened before the disaster, there wouldn't be bones anymore. If this happened after the disaster, they could just go to the college.

I know that feel, bro.

How dare you question my legitimacy? I just specialize in Unarmored and Unarmed skills...what do you mean, those don't exist anymore? Errr, okay, you got me, I'm just a pervert. Will you let me go if I coerce, boast, joke and admire you?

Did...did you kill that guy and then masturbated to death?...I...don't want to know.

My homie Faendal dual wielding his TECH-9s like a baws. My shawty is helping him, that hot slut.

I'm roleplaying Edward. Yes, I contracted vampirism before this shot. I'm that serious about my roleplaying.

We have smaller dragons there. We call them cliffracers.

Another one of those funny thingies. Must be cold down there.

A poor fellow womyn being oppressed by a filthy member of the patriarchy, asking her how was her day without giving her a rape trigger warning? No, just the result of following one NPC from a random encounter. Seems that if she doesn't get mauled by bears on the way, she actually goes to the nearest town (Whiterun in this case) and starts living there. Shame she'll always be wearing her prisoner rags, and she'll never get a real name. I wish you luck in your new job, Frightened Woman :salute:

Third one of the "little things" series, this one was atop a nondescript iceberg near the Tower stone, behind the college. The chest he was carrying contained a book about the Knights of the Nine, maybe this guy was one of them. (edit: in case it isn't clear, he was planting a flag)

MAKE SURE ALL HOSTILES ARE NEUTRALIZED. YES, EVEN THE RABBIT, THEY ARE TRICKIER THAN THE VICTOR CHARLIES THEMSELVES

What are you doing? Get back to your job of running around delivering letters to people in the middle of the wilderness. If you can find me here you're probably a werewolf yourself, anyway. You even helped me fight the vampire that walked into the village.

(amusingly, the letter was from someone that saw me using a shout in that same village not even 30 seconds before he showed up. Efficient as FUCK)

I loved the fact that Pino's AI was very good. Unpredictable doesn't begin to describe him (yet it made perfect sense, considering he was a child) :lol:
Unfortunately, so far I've been unable to make that horrible N64 emulator functional :rage:
OR, it does work but not the necessary plugins you need to play the game :(
I'll have to keep trying one of these days until I find a fool-proof method that does work.

PS: Not only the animation is gorgeous, the music was so good they edited a special edition with high-quality versions of each song. Hell, it even has (minor) voice-acting!

I completed the Dragons Eye which was massive. Now my party stands outside the ruined Elven fortress of the Severed Hand....

It's Freelancer.

It's kinda simplistic but at least it's playable without a joystick.
