“I live for logistics work and making a given system more efficient and fluid and streamlined. Growing order out of veritable chaos.”

Ah dammit, came here just to post something like this.

Redacted as someone already posted this ten year old joke. 

Organic chemistry was my worst subject at university, and I never did any better than a 2ii in it (equivalent to a C in American, I think). Not because any of the concepts were particularly difficult - certainly not by comparison with physical chemistry - just because all the exams seemed to require me to memorise a…

More pottering around the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3. Having completed The Nuka Cola Challenge, I’ve now done all the base game quests. Or at least all the ones I’m planning to do (you’re not fooling me a second time, Tenpenny Tower). I’m in the process of visiting/looting all the locations I haven’t been to yet,…

Ha! Just did that bit a couple of nights ago. Well remembered as being around Takoma Park.

My experience of Fallout:New Vegas on the PS3 wasn’t so much that it had a bug near the end, as it just kept grinding to a halt because it was carrying so much weight. For a time I ended up playing it in five minute increments before it would inevitably crash.

Finished off Battlefield: Bad Company 2 earlier this week, which was slicker but not as entertaining as the first one.

Welcome.

Well, I expect I’ll discover what may be wrong with MGS5 at some point next year. 

Yeah, I got the impression that it’s generally the multiplayer that’s so highly rated for this one. Glad that bit worked well at least, even if it’s not for me.

Finished off Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, which was tremendous fun. This is easily the most playable of the series so far, though as always with MGS games there’s this weird dichotomy between how mega elite the protagonist is supposed to be and how incompetent I am as a player. So despite several attempts, I only m…

As I’ve played through MGSs 1 to 3 over the last year or so, I’m really looking forward to getting on to MGSV.

Seeing as Verhoeven did an adaptation of Starship Troopers that rejects and satirises the source material’s worldview, I sometimes wonder whether it would be only fair to let Zack Snyder loose on an adaptation of The Forever War.

Bit late with this reply, but anyway...

Well I hope you enjoy KOTOR 2. It’s one the best games I’ve ever played - and probably the best thing I’ve only played once. A lot of that is essentially due to Kreia and the relationship between her and the Exile.

Have you played KOTOR2 before? It’s a really interesting one to choose to do a dark side playthrough for the first time. No matter what type of moral system you attempt to adhere to, Kreia will point out how wrong you are. 

What type of character did you roll?

Counterpoint: I actually really enjoy Mathshammer-type gameplay mechanics in RPGs, where I feel like I’ve won just by understanding the rules really well. Which, come to think of it, is exactly why I’ve played KOTOR and Dragon Age Origins so many times.
