I haven't used a mouse pad for 10 years now I think. I do remember Max Payne fondly though. I had gotten the game pretty early, and the box I had was completely in Finnish, having not been translated yet.

Yeh, true. They are making a console version though, right? Will be interesting to see how they put that together then...

Had Diablo 3 released on consoles as well (at this time), the issue would be there just the same. Diablo uses Battle.Net. My guess is it will also do that on consoles.

It's the same here in the Netherlands. A company is usually a BV, which is a fictitious persona used for liability and such. When the company files for bankruptcy this persona, and with it the company, ceases to exist, and the debt goes with it (unless of course there is some sort of fraud in play)

The funny thing is I agree with you, but am completely unable to project myself into a male protagonist like Shepard. I just don't relate to most men, which is the same in real life. I don't relate to many of my male friends.

That makes plenty of sense. I know I usually have a hard time relating to any character anyway, but I do find a lot of the "bro" mentality in male characters very... repulsive? I liked Geralt, from the The Witcher 2. He wasn't a male stereotype, and I tended to identify with him more because he's consistently an…

I've never actually played a male shephard. I rarely play male characters if there is a female option. For some reason I just don't like playing men, heh. Maybe it's because I was raised entirely by women with no male rolemodel, aside from a disappointed absent father. Who knows...

Maybe not your spine, but your tongue no doubt?

Hah, I remember Windows ME running for a few hours. I'd installed it, installed Max Payne, played for like 30 minutes, BSOD, and it never booted again.

I lol'd...

Was playing Alan Wake last night, and ran into a QR code. Scanned it with my phone, and guess what I found?

This is quite fascinating, but I'd be even more interested to see if that guy with the working ALU-based processor he built in Minecraft has gotten a screen and ram implemented yet. Then you could really run minecraft in minecraft, with minimal workarounds (especially if you can somehow support java, heh)

Agreed.

That nyan cat rendition reminds me of something. I know a lot of Bioshock's art also based itself off of the same style (or is this just Bioshock's style?). Anybody know what that style is?

Thanks for the link. Great read. Just missing the background music and voice over xD

What do you mean by propulsion, exactly?

I'll just leave this here... I tried it with a non-gamer crowd but it didn't stick xD

Why not use visible walls? Did you miss that the game's environments are split into domes?

I'd say 300-350. I'd also check to see if the motherboard supports any faster CPU's, which would grant you more flexibility if you'd ever want to swap parts since you'd be able to just swap a faster CPU and/or GPU without having to swap the entire motherboard.

I've never really met somebody that will just out-right start talking to me when I'm playing something, aside from perhaps the momentary announcement style thing just before they go to bed.
