anywhere that's not Australia?

that date is fine with me, I'll wait at least 6 months for the initial problems to subside and get a decent look at the library.

I used the save generator someone had linked a few posts back. It works rather well. also; I'm on beta drivers that supposed to give better performance with da2, downloaded the high textures pack, and still getting some artifacting and visual glitches. oh man I wish I screencapped the cutscene of the boat... it looked hilariously bad. Overall after all the headache, the graphics aren't that bad and the performance is a huge increase from the demo.

so should we start a "show us your Hawke" thread?

but they made everything so interesting! Trojan War. yes, ooh interesting, then you get to the version with the gods involvement (including what ignited the war) and everything is just 100x cooler!

My knees are just horrible. I've laid of my back and "kicked" in the air to see, and sure enough, my knees popped about every single time.

Dammit that's who it is.. that's been bothering me all day. Oh, Ethan...

I'm a live and let live person myself, I've never seen religion as that big of an issue to get hung up over (obv, considering my wife and in laws). As long as you aren't harming yourself or others with your religious / spiritual beliefs or lack thereof; kudos to you. As others have stated, I just try to focus on being a good human being. Tolerant, open minded, courteous, empathetic, and well, just good. Personally, being spiritual -- even if that means being a "Christian" in the sense of "believing and following in the words of the Bible and teachings of Jesus Christ" is better than following a specific denomination or organised religion. That said... fuck you, Battra. edit: okay, I feel I should preemptively expand on that. Of all religions, I take most issue with Scientology and WBC (the god hates fags people), because in my mind, they aren't religions at all (in the case of wbc, they aren't a church imo), and I take issue with the fact that you grouped LDS and $cientology together in that statement, in jest or no. Sure there's plenty to rag and joke about with the Mormons, but grouping them with... that is just wrong. Mormons don't leave people penniless and dead.

I really haven't had it crash on me, except on exit. Lately its almost been consistently crashing on exit. Not during gameplay, thank goodness.

wow, this looks great. dammit, 2011.

Thinking about getting Darkspore? How about a free copy of Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition with a preorder? Sure, its not the ultimate, but its free. http://eastore.ea.com/store/ea/html/pbPage.darkspore-preorder?sourceid=eap1190&om_u=2254051409&om_i=_BNdrGOB8ZiKVB3&resid=TXclQgoBAlgAACMEFR8AAAAr&rests=1299653953991

I get a new pair every March through work, I work in areas that require steel toes. They give us an allotment, and we have to pay the difference. So my boots only cost me $40.

I'm fine with paying 50 - 60 for longer games (Fallout, Dragon Age, etc), but I agree that I'd love to see a more flexible pricing line; 30-40 for some of the mid-level games, instead of the staunch %60 price point. This is also something cliffyb touched on when he declared "middle class" games dead. additional reading: http://www.destructoid.com/defending-the-middle-class-game-195661.phtml

agreed.

why thank you, sir. and I get that "you look like this guy I know / knew..." quite often, it's weird.

yay new boots day.

My knees crack constantly, but its not intentional. My wife can hear them in another room sometimes.

full of win.

I really can't see anyone else play a good Deadpool. I'm fine with waiting. besides, like I said, it'll probably suck anyway.

I think that Red Skull looks totes legit. I'm actually interested in seeing this movie. Although I'm still going to want to yell FLAME ON throughout it.
