Yrden worked well for me against the Draug, was a bit annoying until I finally observed staying close in worked well. The last boss wasn't that bad, just kept making mistakes myself, heh, but the most annoying sequence for me is the [spoiler:94d51cdf2f]wraith gauntlet as you protect Henselt...

Woo! Was not expecting that result over Barcelona. Maybe a good omen for the rest of the season Have to love Szczesny's reaction :) http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/gif/a095b62ba601cdf2e9b5ff3d0e9c8069_szczesny2.gif

Replayed Alternativa...eh, so so game. Decent from a small studio, the setting is somewhat interesting though. Other than that, got nothing to play, maybe will pre-order DOW2 Retribution.

Those Chrysalids in X-COM scared me something terrible. Mind you, I still refuse to play night missions in that game, although mostly due to the PITA it is to hunt them in the dark.

Well for GOG, just make sure you keep a copy backed up locally. Don't need to call home to run it, after all.

Playing a lot of Caesar IV, I fail heavily at planning cities - but in a way it does make the game more exciting. The "random" events in the game are of the old "you're doing well so here's major catastrophic events" style, as I found in a recent mission : Three earthquakes in quick succession...

Good point about Zeratul, my initial impression was that he had no idea what they were. As for Raynor, yeah, that was a bit off but given you have choice in which mission to do, the mission dialogues don't track what you've done. Narrative ends up disjoint though.

It seems like a rehash of Zeratul's in BW. Strange that Zeratul forgot all about that one too. Hm.

Decided to replay Red Alert, never finished the Soviet campaign - Stalin's actor is awesome. Really should play games that were released after 2000, sometime.

Love the direction games are taking. But...it might be somewhat interesting to play. Not sure what the hell 'dynamic' combat could be (maybe enemies adapt to your class or something along those lines)

All Apsect Warfare. By Derek Smart. All you really need to know.

Should have just made something a la X-COM Alliance.

That guy's on some powerful stuff.

Playing some of the SupCom 2 demo. Not really sure why Chris Taylor did what he did to the game. Economy change I knew about and didn't like, but stuff like no adjacency, factory assist, auto-grouping, unit weapon ranges and the rather odd art direction were disappointing. Blah, had such good...

Shame he didn't elaborate on what he would have done differently. But oh well.
