The joke is on us! But then, what else would we expect from God? The depth and level of His irony is to normal comedians as the universe is to a grain of sand. And here I am stealing material from chumps like David Cross and Larry David when I should be taking my cues from The Ultimate Comedian...

I'm surprised at the reaction to my NWN comment. BG was undoubtedly the better game, but apart from the size of the world and the storyline what's really different? It's pretty much the same gameplay, just updated to 3D.

The game you want exists and is called "Neverwinter Nights", so I guess you can consider your day made.

Current favorite: Akira. After years and years of putting it off due to a morbid fear of anime/manga I finally started it and got so hooked that I read it all in one sitting. I've watched the movie about once a year since I was 16 so I thought I knew what I was getting into but it doesn't even...

Yeah, that's one thing I don't understand - how people can be against sending someone to death, but be enthused about sending them to a torturous life in prison full of non-stop oppression, violence and rape. If that isn't cruel and unusual punishment I don't know what is. And if that's...

They claim that he knew in advance about the 9/11 attacks but didn't tell authorities, and that he would have flown a plane himself if he hadn't been in prison at the time. So he's on trial for something he could have done and something he didn't do - makes a lot of sense, eh? Though I guess in...

Voted yes. I know at base they are soldiers and supposed to follow their superiors (civilian in this case) orders just like any other soldier, but really, if the leaders of our military and the people who should know more about war than anyone else don't make their views known or speak out then...

No, absolutely not. I don't care if he's a terrorist or crazy or whatever, but if our stupid country won't even give multiple-murders, pedophiles and rapists the death penalty 99% of the time then they shouldn't give this guy a death sentence, especially when his crime is "witholding...

You can post there, just be aware that they have different rules from the rest of the site.

True, but then the entire setting for Fallout just becomes a backstory. What would be the point to setting Fallout on an island? There are no ruins of civilization, no struggle for survival. As a spin-off game or some kind of spiritual sequel, sure, but what kind of Fallout game could you set on...

What is post-apocalypse about small islands though? Why would Aruba or Fiji or other places like that be suffering from the after effects of a nuclear war? Even if someone could come up with a plausible backstory and some way to make them a struggling "post-apocalypse" area, living on a bright...

Pajari made some good comments, so I'll just add what little I have to offer that I didn't see in his post. You seem to have two of the same problems I have: colloquial language and commas. Skip the next two paragraphs if you don't want to read my boring thoughts on those two things...

Well, it's not really that outside the realm of the reasonable. Security anywhere is never as tight as it's made out to be, and unless they have a non-patrolling guard posted every 20 feet around the perimeter of the base then someone is going to be able to sneak in if they really wanted to...

Voted pessimistic. Up until I played Oblivion I was as optimistic as anyone, but as far as RPG elements go it was even more simplified than Morrowind - a big step in the wrong direction. I liked Morrowind and Oblivion, but I don't see Bethesda's strengths being in the areas of gameplay that I'd...

So it's a hoax then? I was having trouble believing that he'd have the balls to do it or manage to sneak into an Air Force base, but then again stupider things have happened.

How long do you think he is going to go to jail for?

I'm waiting until it's on the shelves to care about it. I'm still confused by the whole thing about them making two or three JA3's - supposedly one sequel and expansion + one in 3D, whatever that means - and I remember reading that the Russian company doing this one didn't have a very good...

If your school doesn't have one you could try to get one started if you had the ambition for it. Of course it would take a lot of work and dedication, which combined with a college workload might be a little too much to take on though especially after a few semesters off.

Your mention of the Resident Evil Typewriter/Ribbon save system got me thinking about checkpoint games in general and how many times they've made me lose a lot of progress, but my comment wasn't directed at you or your description of the BoF system. I was just kind of thinking out loud.

Really good to see you again, welcome back. I was just browsing through some old threads the other day and wondered what had happened to you. As for your question, I'd say major in journalism. My reasoning is this: fiction comes from you; there are guidelines that apply to all, but in the...
