The longest I’ve ever stayed awake was 4 straight days playing a marathon of Star Fleet Command II.

It’s not “our game”. It’s Blizzard’s game. You are a visitor.

The same advice was given to many about KOTOR, "Just get through the first planet and it takes off." And it was true. You had to tough out the dull opening act before things started to get exciting.

The dialog. The endless escalation. Just monotonous.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I've been eyeing this game warily for a couple of months. Panzer General was a touchstone strategy game and they are big shoes for another company to fill.

Roguelike generally refers to the meta-game, where you die and there is no recourse. On top of this is built the record of how far you get with any given character and the epic accomplishment of finally winning the game at hardest difficulty.

Dowry is a bad tradition that needs to go.

The opening of Homeworld hit me pretty hard.

I always felt that the sacrifices on Vermire, of Legion, and of Mordin pointed the path for Shepard.

Yeah. They got it right. Perfect ending for the Mass Effect trilogy.

I'll never get that sad song out of my heart.

No battle for rights stays won once it has been won.

Indeed. This is why I asked. I've never known any players who liked the combat system in the second game better.

Can't believe I missed it, too!

I think the quibble here is the context of the word "special". What I got from the universe is that we may have special qualities but we are not unique.

She looks like the woman from Superman III in the process of getting swallowed and assimilated by the computer.

That's a voting sword. The women of Sweeden give it to their husbands and tell them how to vote.

A lack of shame seems to be one of the worse qualities of the current generation.
