  1. Yeah, I think the point of that decision was less about getting different outcomes and more about trying to elicit an emotional response from the player. Like, it was meant to be this tough moral decision. Whether they succeeded or not is arguable, but I know I hesitated slightly before doing it.
  2. I've replayed the game numerous times, so I don't really remember all the details of my first playthrough, but here's how it ended.
  3. I see. Damn, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I own the whole series on Steam anyway, so Dark Crusade is a simple download away. But now I have to decide whether I stop DOWII and go play Dark Crusade right away or not. Can I ignore Soulstorm for now or is it also important story-wise? Oh and I've wanted to see Ultramarines for a while now! The animation looks absolutely shit, but I heard it's good fun if you're into the 40K.
  4. I played the original Dawn of War a few years ago and really loved it, even though I'm usually not very good at RTS games. I wasn't crazy on Winter Assault, though, so I never got around to playing Dark Crusade and Soulstorm. Anyway, I started Dawn of War II recently and I absolutely love it! I really dig how Relic have done away with base building and have given a more rpg-like nature to the gameplay. Now I'm all kinds of excited about Space Marine. And even though I'm really not into MMOs, I'm really curious about Dark Millenium Online. The 40K setting is just too awesome for me to ignore any game set in it.
  5. AAAARRRRHHGGG! Applied for a job last week and they actually called today, which I frankly did not expect. I really need the job (and the pay is pretty good), but I was pretty nervous on the phone and I'm afraid it showed >_

      Is that a specific reference I'm not getting? Or are you just talking like Mario?

      It's okay FLD, while bosses want people who are confident, they understand how one can be nervous at times. just be ready for anything next time, Best of luck man, you can get this job!

      Play it cool and dazzle them with your coolness.

  6. First Transformers was okay. Second was absolute shit. Not really looking forward to the third one, but I have to admit the second half of this trailer is pretty sick!
  7. Alright, I just finished watching Under The Red Hood, and I'm gonna have to agree with you all and say it's the best animated DC movie. Considering all the praise, I had pretty high expectations, and it didn't meet them, it shattered them. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that it's the best Batman movie not starring Christian Bale, in my opinion. Oh and that Batman/Nightwing team-up at the beginning was just awesome. Now I really want either a Nightwing movie, or another Batman movie in which Nightwing plays a bigger part.
  8. Watched Superman/Batman: Apocalypse tonight. It was good, but talk about a misleading title! They might as well have called it "Supergirl Begins". I think next time I'll give Supes a rest and will watch Under the Red Hood, keeping All-Star for last. Haven't managed to find a torrent for the Wonder Woman movie yet. For those interested, the upcoming movies are (according to wikipedia) Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. An anthology kinda thing, made up of several shorter stories. Coming out June 7th! Batman: Year One, set to come out in the fall. JLA: Doom, based on the Tower of Babel story arc. and The Dark Knight Returns, which was only confirmed to be in production about two weeks ago. So I imagine this one won't be coming out anytime soon Personally, I'd love for them to eventually make a Green Lantern one about the Sinestro Corps War. I read the story arc recently, and it was pretty damn epic!
  9. Ha! I am not one to fall for the same trick twice! Last night's 3AM cup of coffee kept me up until about 8 this morning. Tonight? I OUTSMART the coffee by drinking it at 2 AM!

      You threw it off by one hour! It never saw it coming!

      I know! It's looking pretty stupid sitting in its mug right about now!

  10. Disagree. Justice League: The New Frontier is better. I haven't seen Under The Red Hood yet, but New Frontier is my favorite so far The second JLA one, though, Crisis on Two Earths? I thought that was the weakest.
  11. Wait, so the last time Steam updated the game, it broke my save? That's... so fucking stupid. >_< Oh, now that I've read that link, it seems I won't be affected, I guess. I own Dead Money but I haven't touched it yet. But still... nice going Obsidian
  12. Lately I've been watching some of the DC animated movies, like Green Lantern: First Flight, JLA: New Frontier, Batman/Superman: Public Enemies etc... So far, not a single one of them was bad. I still can't believe how insanely better they are than the shit ones Marvel put out. I haven't seen Hulk Vs., but the two Ultimate Avengers movie were such a bore. I think the least boring one I've seen was the Doctor Strange one, and it wasn't that great. I've still got Batman/Superman: Apocalypse and All-Star Superman to watch, and a friend urged me to also get Batman: Under The Red Hood. I expect those will be excellent as well. Oh and they're currently making Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns! O_O It's a good time be a fan of Batman and cartoons!
  13. Aside from my credit card info (and the card is almost maxed out anyway, so it's not like I could get even more in debt), I feel like I was somewhat prepared for this. Long story short, prior to the Gawker hack, I used a single password on pretty much everything. So when that went down, I freaked a bit and went through every account I could think of and gave them all new, unique passwords. In the end, it turned out my info hadn't been compromised, but eh, at least now my shit is more secure. Anyway, PSN was also using that one password at the time, so I changed it to my Steam password since it was the most secure password I used and knew it by heart. So thanks to the Gawker fiasco, the damage is very minimal this time. I only had to change my Steam password. Other than that, I'll just need to pay close attention to my credit card transactions, but I've always monitored it closely anyway.
  14. Note to self: drinking coffee at 3 AM is NOT a good idea. Now I won't be able to sleep for hours. On the bright side, though, now I have a perfectly valid excuse for playing Phoenix Wright all night!

      Fuck yeah Phoenix Wright bitches

  15. Started playing Phoenix Wright T&T again last night. Then I remembered the Layton crossover :o I need to catch up on both series! I've yet to play Investigations or any Layton games beyond the first one. My DS has gone unloved for far too long.

      Oh God, I love Phoenix Wright. Currently replaying T&T also!

      Currently playing Justice for All. Hooray for PW luv!

  16. Finished the co-op campaign in Portal 2 tonight. Was pretty damn good!
  17. Portal 2. My original intent was to finish the single-player campaign in one sitting. And the game's early release happened around 12h30 AM in my timezone, so it seemed doable. But I had not considered the fact that I'd been up since about 10 AM that morning, so around 5 AM my brain sort of ceased to function properly. I couldn't think and the simplest tests had me fucking stumped. And it was actually pissing me off quite a bit When it dawned on me that I'd been up for over 20 hours, I just gave up and went to bed.
  18. Portal 2 is so good... but I've been up for almost 20 hours and my brain is shutting down... just.. one... more... test...

      This is what I like to hear. A week... a week...

  19. PLEASE WAIT WHILE STEAM DECRYPTS PORTAL 2 GAME FILES!!!

  20. AAAAAAAAAAH 15 minutes left! The anticipation is killing me!

  21. Been playing Amnesia for a few hours. Great game. But so far it's nowhere near as intensely terrifying as most people made it out to be.

      Well, I'm not saying it's not scary at all. It's scarier than a game like say Dead Space. And I play it with no lights on, alone in my room.

       

      But considering all the reaction videos I've seen, and all the people saying how it was really, really scary, I expected something more terrifying than merely scary. So far my reactions to the scary parts were mostly along the lines of being startled and thinking "holy shit! haha that was awesome!"

      I'm of the opinion that how scared you get is also very reliant on how much imagination you have. =p

      Hey, I'll have you know that I have PLENTY of imagination!

  22. Of course! Everything is boring all week-end. Then today while I'm away from the computer because of a final, shit starts going down!

  23. Frankly, I never had any problem with it. It didn't always run 100% smoothly, but it was never unplayable. I used mouse and keyboard, though. And that's the reason I never finished it. The helicopters are just fucking impossible to control with a mouse and keyboard, and the last mission requires that you pilot one.
  24. Forgot to post them at the time, but I got these a few days ago during the 2K sale on Steam.
  25. Yeah, that website is great. I didn't use their fix, though, because it made the HUD and cutscenes stretch, and I can't stand that. Though sadly I don't think I'd have any choice now. For some reason, the option for fixed aspect-ratio scaling is gone from recent releases of my video card's driver.
