Yeah. Like your post about the kid screaming which stopped after you posted here :)

This is a good time to mention it really is beautiful here today.

I always bitch about the snow and cold here and I don't want you fine people to think that's all I do.

I appreciate that :D

That's great to hear :)

So it's sunny and snow? ;-)

That has happened before but not today.

I just saw this.

That's good to hear from a real comic book / Iron Man fan. He (personally on screen) always seemed to completely embody what I thought of as "Iron Man / Tony Stark" - I'd have a hard time imagining the character as anyone else. So it's nice to hear from a true fan that he hits a nail on the head for his rendition of the character.

And I remember watching an interview with Samuel L. Jackson (he must be a comic book fan) where he essentially said he saw Nick Fury and was basically like "Holy shit, that's me! Get them on the phone right now and tell them I HAVE to play Nick Fury if they do a film." Which I thought was pretty cool.

And thanks for the pointers on DD. I like the idea of a town management angle. The fact that I'm not a huge crafting fan (I like it in games, I DON'T like it to be a huge major focus) makes me stick with my original thoughts that despite some interesting bits, The Pit might not be for me.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. =)

Hopefully you all are having a pleasant weekend.

Allright gonna get Guild wars 2 in a bit... Someone here who could show me around?

Moin Crow.
Yup. having a good weekend. How are you doing?

Just bought some games from the promo and realised that my shelf is now two short of 300....O.o...:).

Not too bad here. Played Icewind for quite a while yesterday.
I'd forgotten just how large the dungeons are, how many dozens or hundreds of enemies each one has, and how much management there is for a 6 person party.
Think I spent half an hour just distributing loot, deciding what to keep and sell after I cleared all of the last dungeon without going back to town in the middle. -laughs-

What did you end up grabbing from the promo?

I've heard that story about SLJ, too. I'm not sure if he reads comics or if somebody pointed it out to him, but from what I understand, that was basically the reaction that Marvel was hoping for. ;)

The town "management" in DD isn't really in-depth like an actual management game - I don't want to give you the wrong impression about it. It's maybe more similar to HOMM, although I've only played the first one, so that's not a definitive statement. You get various buildings/shops/racial settlements/etc. as you play that you level up that give you different options/bonuses.

Now, for something completely different... I've had this song stuck in my head since yesterday. I love Vintage Trouble, and this song, but eesh.

I do recommend that people watch/listen, if only because they're such an amazing band. We were lucky enough to see them at the Magic City Blues festival in Billings, MT, a few years ago. They're one of those rare bands who actually sound better live - and they're pretty awesome on their studio recordings. :) (In fact, here's a concert video.)

Note: The video is possibly on the NSFW side, in that it features a sexy woman dancing in her underwear. Also, if you pay attention to the lyrics/video, the spilling milk/milk bath probably counts in the same sort of way. *g*

Okay. The D&D games are yet to be played by me....but Icewind Dale sounds really interesting....

I bought Dragon Commander, The Ball, Quest for Infamy and Vertical Drop Heroes HD - still thinking about Megabyte Punch (a think i'll pass on Desktop Dungeon and The Banner Saga for this time - so i put them on my wishlist).

Do you got anything from the promo? Or Transistor?

The first IWD still has the abysmal pathfinding from BG1, right? Or is there a way to "upgrade" it to BG2 level?
