Oh. I really like the drop at the 2:50 mark. That's ace.

Yep. And it was surprisingly good, actually. I played the shit out of that game.

I would be more shocked to learn that T. Roosevelt did not already fight off a giant lobster at some point in his colorful life.

Really, couldn't give two shits about how it looks. I want to know if they fixed how it plays. Given that they keep drumming up the visual side of production, I'm less than confident in the gameplay aspect at this time.

Finding it really hard to care about what Nader says.

Still don't care for it.

Just turning 29 now, at the same weight now that I was at 27 when I noticed the sudden 20lb gain out of nowhere (stayed the same weight pretty much from 16-26). Changing diet without extra exercise stopped the gain but it's been purely maintenance in that dept., haven't seen it start to decline back down yet.

Just reacting to your statement above. I used to say that all the time. It used to be true for me too, right up until it suddenly wasn't... I've dodged the "fat" bullet for the most part, but it's going to be ages before I'll be wearing any of the pants I used to wear when I was still saying that...

Kind of a shame for this one, this is easily one of the most intimidating creatures by appearance in the entire game, but he seems relatively toothless (har) once one's learned his extremely simple patterns.

Tiamat has been recurring in FF games since the first. I don't believe it's been in —all— of them, but its's been featured more than it hasn't, I do believe. They may not always be multi-headed, but they share the name and some form of dragon aspect to them.

That's good to know. I was always the good guy when I played. Crossing Adalon was never something I considered doing...

I had an entire PS2 memory card devoted to the second game (not that it gave me much choice).

Firkraag may not have been the toughest, I'd give that distinction to the Shadow Dragon whose name eludes me, but any one who's familiar with these beasts in BG2 knows that they are not to be trifled with. I've seen fights against these end with total extermination and not a stitch of damage done to the vile beast,…

Are you under 30?

With them being only 100 calories, I'd just take a regular old-fashioned Creamsicle over this. All the fun, none of the sugar substitution, more mass snack per popsicle stick for your dietary pleasure.

This is easily the worst article to come from Rogers. And that's saying something.

The damnable death animation was stupid. Tossing the game in the corner to spite it was not.

These city maps are always larger in my memories...

Wow I haven't seen this map yet. It is very nice indeed.

Nice, thanks. Been a long, long time since I played that one, didn't recognize it.
