Played SoC: some fun to be had there, definintely. I also really enjoyed the underground levels. In fact, I wish there were more of them and bigger. Maybe way, way bigger.

Bethesda and their fans can kill anything. It's the dismal tide.

Ha! Yes. I gave it 10+ minutes and I liked it, but I'd have to be in the right frame of mind to really appreciate it I think. I'll give it 7/10. Let's shoot off in another direction. If a band as famous as The Rolling Stones have anything you could remotely call a "hidden gem," this 1983...

Batman doesn't have any super powers unless you count gadgets.

I heard a rumor that there was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer console game that wasn't bad.

I remember once I was playing Neverwinter Nights, and I thought, "Well, this is okay." Then right after that I went back and replayed Baldur's Gate, and I thought, "This is so much better than Neverwinter Nights." Then right after that I went back and replayed Fallout, and I thought, "This is...

As far as I know, "pop" is a Midwest thing. Everywhere else I've ever been everyone says "soda," and they look at you like you're crazy if you say "pop." I guess when "soda-pop" was shortened, one part of the country went one direction and everyone else in the country went the other direction.

They're definitely Witcher enthusiasts. That's what has made the games worth playing, even if they aren't perfect. It's a refreshing thing to see.

The best mod for Warband is Silverstag. Once you play it you'll have trouble going back to any other mod, or even vanilla. The best mod I've played for original M-n-B is The Last Days. There's a Warband port now too.

That's a pretty good list. I haven't seen a Battle Beyond the Stars (a.k.a. the cheap Star Wars knockoff) reference in ages. Logan's Run could be good, but it won't happen because there's a nuLogan's Run in development. Outland could be quite good as a game; that setting seems adaptable to a...

Yeah, that is pretty good. The pictures help the ADD crowd (and Bethesda fans). In Brit slang "fanny" means crotch, which makes the term "fanny pack" sound funny to them. In the U.S. fanny means butt, so a fanny pack is a small pouch you wear on the back of your belt. Brits also use the word...

Not only that; it's The Borg of lanuages. Anytime it encounters a new word or concept it doesn't already possess, it instantly assimilates it.

That's some pretty good 1970s space jazz. I liked it best from the guitar solo onward. 8/10. Interesting story: Chick Corea is a long-time Scientologst. One time, probably twenty years ago now, he tried to recruit my piano-player friend. Gave him a pretty hard sell too, as I hear it...

Yes, I don't doubt that's true. I defintely liked it, even though I criticize it. I also plan on getting Hong Kong at some point. I had never had any experience with Shadowrun before either, beyond seeing ads for it in Dragon Magazine back in the 80s and 90s.

The "k" in these words are holdovers from Middle English and earlier. There was a lot of Saxon and Scandinavian influence in older English, and the "k" used to be pronounced rather than silent. Knight used to be more like "K'n-ICHT," if that makes sense. I think it all got softened after the...
