So excited for F:NV. Might have to call in sick on Tuesday. Think they'll believe that I've come down with a case of Forced Evolutionary Virus?

Here's hoping it has some info on my favorite Sierra game.

@PoweredByHentai: [hearted] Thanks!

I've got two flights coming up this week and they will be spent with Minecraft and Civ IV. Will report back next week.

@Koztah: He's doing great for being dead!

@PoweredByHentai: Yeah, we should put up a sign: "Sorry about that, guys!"

@Calcographer: My lifelong New England/mid-Atlantic girlfriend was also upset about the rain we had last week. We live up in the hills northeast of LA but still, it was too hot today.

@PoweredByHentai: We had ash landing on our car until late September because of the eastern branch of that fire. That one was nuts.

@Bricked: So much great material there: the charge at Aqaba, crossing the Nefud, blowing up railways.

@Bricked: No kidding! That's amazing!! Can you post a picture of either one?

@Bricked: Amazing pieces of equipment. You can still buy, repair, and use them today:

@Behrditz: I think the most powerful argument against the "boo, more mud!" crowd is that it really was the First WORLD War. There are plenty of fascinating things that would make for immersive gameplay that didn't take place on French/Belgian/German soil. I'm with you.

@Bricked: Gassing could be implemented like air filters in Metro 2033. Immersive and terrifying.

@Behrditz @Bricked @hagren: You all make some great points and comments. I think we're all on the same page about Western Front warfare: technology has advanced far enough that a dev really could implement something realistic, where Enfields and Maxim guns and trench sweepers all coexist, as they did on the…

@Ozzieball: I agree. A really ballsy game would be something like The Saboteur but where you play as one of the 20 July plotters who tried to kill Hitler.

Two quick things:

Going to wait to play "The Signal" in order to play them both back-to-back. What a great game.

@Paradox me: I'd ask yourself this question before taking your next step:

@sackboy: To know everything. So I became a scientist.

@Testsubject909: Oh man, I forgot about those! Super excited, especially for Christopher Lloyd's voice acting.
