The Gamer's Quarter

i've got nowhere else to put this.

i'm on about twenty odd years of playing crpgs and just crpgs. i'm sure someone from the flesh world has written a dissertation or seven on this particular issue, ...

you can try reformatting the pdfs using calibre (save them as a mobi format, which has worked for a few pdf files i've converted for kindle) but the facing pages setup is unchangeable sans the origina ...

And no. I'm pretty sure he's using the GI Bill or something.

praise jesus and stuff!

anyway, it's not a terrible idea. i'd like to interview the soldak guy cause din's curse is made out of hero ...

english and film? i hope you're not paying out of pocket.

not a terrible endgame, but i'd already assassinated caesar ahead of time. (that was fun, btw)

i'm nearing the end and oh man decisions decisions decisions.

I bring this up here because it shows that I'm not against the idea of decision and consequence, just that it matters most when you'r ...

so if it didn't tell you "mission xyz failed' when you decide to play by your own rules, you'd like it more?

vault 11. ho ho ho.

i'm not one to put a tremendous amount of effort into apologeticas for fields and companies i don't work for, but there is some truth to the rhubarb about obsidian getting shat upon for sins bethesda ...

i've put in about 30 hours with this. i can only conclude that the rps piece was written by someone playing a different game.

dhex, did you ever figure out how to make the game not stutter?

i'm actually having a decent time with it on my pc, which isn't particularly new. 4gigs ram seems to help, as well as having a lot of ...

too much jrpg rots yer brain, yo. Smile

seriously though, everything you don't like is everything i feel is beautiful about the dying wrpg genre. choices and consequences, yo. and since you only play ...

i think quinns is mostly wrong in that, especially as he liked fallout 3. it's much more fallout-y (isfet would agree with me on this point, dunno if sb is up on this title yet) and while there's stuf ...

i don't think so as of yet, though notch is apparently none to happy with paypal as well. maybe once it goes with a non-alpha release he'll have secure cc ordering?

but still, ten bucks.

buy it. ten bucks is piffle compared to what you get (and in theory will get in the future)

it's pretty dang rad. i'm actually completely lost right now near my secondary site.

built some huge glass towers at my spawn spot, etc, but can't find my way back to them. i figure if i die again ...

but everyone already knows that.

manly? well, i'm playing call of pripyat now between feedings and fits with the wee one, and there's absolutely no women in that, so i suppose it's rather masculinist. it's also excellent as all hell.

hi all. sergei threw me this way. i hope matt's still alive (i haven't spoken to him since last thanksgiving) and doing well in his studies, and that everyone else is still doing well in whatever they ...

congrats broham. hope your wife and child are doing well.

very nice. i look forward to new stuff from him. i like how he gets into it near the end.

"Adam Smith predated Darwin by some 80 years."

oh you kooky counterculture types!

dear lord ...

they're written to avoid lawsuits and give the sellers as much room to maneuver as possible. that's why people hire attorneys before they sign stuff like this. you don't ask the guy selling you someth ...

yeah, that piece hits most of the notes.

so this was just one guy with an amazon seller's account? or was amazon actually carrying this company's stuff?

winter being generally better for smells than summer; during the summer the place is damn near unapproachable. during the winter it just smells like a million farts went there to die.

hmm...that's a good point.
