    15 Coolest Games of the Fall

    I find it funny how in Matt's head the NMA community are the fanboys and Matt is the skeptic. I wonder what else is going on in that world of his. Also, I have no idea who Darren is, but if he's a game reviewer he should know the difference between a pause function and tb. But since he...

    Fallout 3 launch party Oct 18th

    Thanks. I guess that might help explain why this game is mainly marketed with reference to it's cool-looking explosions. Then again, maybe not, although it is striking how anything Bruckheimer touches turns to shit (very profitable shit, but still).

    Fallout 3 launch party Oct 18th

    Can somebody explain to me what kind of association Bruckheimer has with Bethesda? Is he on the board of directors there or at Zenimax (whatever that is)? Hearing his name in connection with any project is always a cue to stay clear, so this might explaing a few things.

    UK gamer stabbed to death over Forum Dispute

    I hope they're basing this on more than a forum dispute and a post on facebook. As it is, it seems like pretty shallow waters to me.

    Civilization 4: Colonization

    Thanks for the link. I think I'll wait for a patch, though, since I don't have a lot of time for playing at the moment, and also there are a few other issues I hope will be cleared up with a patch. I'm amazed to see the high scores it's gotten, though. Only a few of the reviews I've read even...

    Civilization 4: Colonization

    I picked it up the other day and have been playing for a while now. My initial impressions were pretty good, but it definitely has some flaws. The biggest flaw, which virtually makes it unplayable (for me at least) comes near the end, when you declare indepence. Throughout the game the king will...

    Tropa de Elite

    This is a Brasilian film about a special police force in Rio de Janeiro, called BOPE. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I was surprised to see that the film actually seems to try to justify the use of what is essentially a death squad. It's kind of like watching Dirty Harry, except...

    Who'd win? Terminator or Robocop?

    Wasn't Robocop beaten by a 4 year old kid with a big magnet in one of the movies? I don't think the terminator would have much trouble. Also, the terminator is Arnold and he always wins. Oh, and Robocop really isn't worth much without the army of people that regularly repair him whenever...

    Planescape torment: less is more?

    Been there, except they stopped inviting me for parties and it was after several incidents.

    Tom Chick responds to Wired piece

    Yeah, they know we hate their freedom and democracy. Seriously though, this guy seems like he has decided to spend all his critique on people who are critical of Fallout 3, saving nothing for Fallout 3 and Bethesda. I suppose his critique of the article isn't completely unfair, though. I...

    Isn't there already a Star Wars MMO?

    Atari sues to suppress bad reviews

    I just hope they don't see this thread, or it's all over for nma.

    UEFA Euro 2008 Thread

    True, but in the match in question Germany scored on 3 out of 3 shots on goal, whereas Turkey scored 2 out of 11 (according to uefa). Obviously a team that creates no chances will never win, even if they're very good at exploiting the chances that they (don't) get.

    UEFA Euro 2008 Thread

    Well, the game is about scoring goals, so efficiency in goalscoring is arguably the most important aspect of the game, although it doesn't necessarily make for a very entertaining game if that's all one or both teams are good at. Anyway, I was rather surprised at Turkey, they played a much...

    UEFA Euro 2008 Thread

    I think that depends on what you think makes for better football. The way the Germans played wasn't the prettiest (or very good, for that matter), that's for sure, and they didn't create many chances, but they managed to profit from the ones they did create, unlike the Turkish team who created...

    UEFA Euro 2008 Thread

    They won? I don't really get these "undeserved" comments. If people agree that football is decided by chance, the rules should probably be changed. Anyway, I'd say that Germany is the better team although this match wasn't excactly their finest moment. I'm hoping for Germany vs Russia in the...

    New Fallout 3 screens

    I assume this is in reply to my post, since I'm the only one who used the word nice. And yeah, the screenshot does look nice, imo, although I didn't compare it to any particular current game. I can't either, but that's mainly because I have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. It...

    New Fallout 3 screens

    Why was Per's post on this vatted? Anyway, as I was trying to write in that thread, the new screen is pretty nice imo. I haven't seen the others before and didn't particularly care for them either, but the last one does make me wonder what charisma will be used for, besides determining...

    Todd Howard on X-Play

    I actually thought Todd Howard did okay, better than Hines usually do anyway. But that interviewer must have a foul taste of shit in his mouth after licking Todds ass for the entire interview: "That's Awsome! I wanna just *mumble* (touch?) you there and just say that's completely cool!" The...

    The Happening - Anyone seen it?

    I thought that happened in the village. I guess that just goes to show that there's no such thing as rock bottom; there's always something lower. Edit: haven't seen it myself, though. I might give it a try sometime, despite the reviews.
