    Unofficial Age of Decadence FAQ

    Actually, I believe Alchemy is going to a big improvement over Oblivion's system. In Oblivion each ingredient possessed some bonus intrinsically. So Alchemy was just a game of finding ingredients with the bonuses you wanted and poof! You have an invisibility potion. The AoD system is going...

    Bethesda and the Star Trek fans

    If NMA hasn't been black listed (yet?), I know the RPGCodex has (official excuse, there's swearing on the site). It be interesting to know if any other websites were put on the "blacklist".

    Medieval 2 : total war demo. Really.

    I like fileplanet, and I'm not a subscriber. Yes, you have to wait to begin your download, but after that I find they have the fastest download times of any of the usual suspects. Now, they have this download manager so I can pause in the middle of downloads if I want the bandwidth, and resume...

    Fallout repeats last year's E3 showing

    What? Do they not have football in Utah? He is clearly changing directions in a passing route in preperation for his father's pass. Anyways, after Oblivion I'm still very pessismistic about this game, but at least the poster shows some level of awareness that Fallout is the future of the...

    XBOX 360

    At this point there is very little reason to buy a 360. There is a good chance the price will go down when PS3 is released, and if nothing else they will be readily available and maybe have changed manufacturing practices to reduce the occurence of slowdowns. In the meanwhile, they are still...

    RPGs for the stupid

    Here is my humble contribution. I always thought the three different chapters were pretty disjointed, as my diagram clearly shows. That, and there were some veiled attempts to... well see for yourself.

    Best Books of All time?

    I just have to say Catch-22 by Keller is simply amazing. Its a funny, dark, commentary on war and society. Then, its written achronologically, which is tremendous literary feat. If you haven't read, I think you haven't read the best novel written in the past 50 years, at least. Having Ayn...

    Turkey and Europe to make a union?

    What are you talking about? The ugly chicks are the Turkish chicks? I'm Greek by blood, does it show?

    Golden Joystick nomination for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

    I read a rumor somewhere on the internet that as they were finishing up the game and letting people playtested, they got negative results on how fun it was. So they started reworking it with stronger story and plot elements. Of Course, thats all just rumor and speculation.

    They haven't been posted yet, think of it as a cliff hangers during sweeps weak.

    Fallout gunpowder: black powder or nitrocellulose?

    Hmmm... I always pictured the majority of ammunition floating around the Fallout world as being the stock piles from before the war. Yes, I know the towns making their own gun powder, but still makes a lot of sense to me.

    Definitely no S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in 2005

    Didn't a lot of people call Half Life 2 vaporware? But in the end, if you take the time to make your game as perfect as possible, you do end up with an excellent title.

    Interplay - Web presence restored?

    Ummm... "Investor<san s> Relations"... does this means they only have one investor at this time? Are Herve's parents still alive, by any chance?

    Interplay - Web presence restored?

    This means either... A. Interplay is going to be alright. B. It is a placeholder to announce an auction for intellectual property. C. Herve is practicing webdesign, something that can be done in a jail cell. D. God is at it again. E. The new webdesign took forever to load from an...
