Yes and yes! :D

It will suck you in for something like 12 to 15 hours. I was kind of pissed that you didn't have the option for inverting the Y Axis though(even in the HD remake). But yeah, if that's not an issue for you then you should definitely give it a try.

Been messing with Wasteland a little after all this Wasteland 2 hype. Don't know why I get locked in some of the encounters without a way out. Probably something simple that my consolized mind can't comprehend. But I am growing to like it.
 
Since my 360 disc of Arkham City became useless an I was halfway into the game, yesterday I bought the PC version of Arkham City, it was pretty cheap, but it was new. So after beating the first boss of the game, known as the Games for Windows Live horrible setup proccess I am now replaying Arkham City with a firend's PC controller.

Today is a wonderful day! Why am I having so much fun with 2012?!

Consider this to be on my 'will play' list, unless I'm dead.

My biggest gripe is the fucking horrible controls. I can barely drive the fucking car without wrecking into a wall. It really detracts from the whole experience. It makes it more of a chore than anything. It is the one thing keeping me from playing the game again right now.
 
I agree, the controls are a nightmare. But at least there is a good story to look forward to in the game. Have you beaten it yet?

Not yet. I got side tracked while trying to decipher the horrible map. I love the story though.

Also, I played Doom 2 with ZDaemon for so long my hands have cramped up. I never got to play Doom online back in the old days, so it was a new experience. I did miss the jump button though. I wonder if there is something like ZDaemon for Quake?
 
I recently found my old Quake disc, so I brushed it off and started downloading a few mods. I found one mod called Darkplaces that updates the graphics for everything in the game. It definitely improved everything like lighting, textures, and all that jazz. I found a program called Quake Injector that downloads episodic content like maps, total conversions, add-ons, etc. It has made things a lot easier mod wise. I always preferred the old storyline too instead of the Strogs. I want to see a Shambler in a new Quake game. Quake was better with the Dark inter-dimensional God/Aliens. The Strogs were ok, but I never cared for them. Just my two cents for the evening.
 
I really liked the ending of Arkham City, solved the problem I had with the previous game, I still got a lot of side missions to complete. I find stupid that you can't use the new skins from the beginnin or in New Game Plus, I wanted to see Batman Inc Batman talking to Animated Series Catwoman. Meh, whatever.
 
Going through Mass Effect for the first time. I like it. Reminds me of KOTOR a lot. Man BioWare needs to fire their level designers. Yeah I know the resources on the 360 are limited but come on this is bland to a "Halo 1 interior corridor level" standard. It might even be a step backwards from KOTOR.
Any improvement in this area for 1&2?
 
Which Mass Effect are you playing Mobucks?

If you mean ME1, no most of the buildings in the side missions are pretty much the re use of standard models.

Though I don't think its always that bad as it gives the feeling that there is a standard fabrication model that can be used for various purposes.

Are they bland? Absolutely as a lot of them despite being a colony or a laboratory feel quite empty.
 
Yeah, ME1. I know I make it sound like its ruining the experience for me but thats not it, its just something I noticed. I wonder how SWTOR is in this respect.
 
Well, I played Street Fighter X Tekken tonight. I thought it was pretty solid. It felt more balanced than Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, but I only had a little bit to play it. I'm not sold on it completely. It is a lot different from other tag fighters because if you lose one character you lose the round. I think that makes it stand out a lot more. I liked the way the Tekken fighters played too. They adapted well to the Street Fighter 4 formula. I will probably pick this one up when the price drops.
 
I also like the open-ended nature of the physics and how you can get to from a to point b the way you see fit.
 
Kingpin and The Deeper Dungeons (Dungeon Keeper expansion pack) and some Quake 3 for my online needs.

I didn't realize Fargo had anything to do with Kingpin until I saw the Wasteland 2 promo :)
 
It's a shame Kingpin: Life of Crime didn't take off, that game was so cool back in 1999, it still is pretty menacing (brutal). Try to play at a higher than average difficulty - and watch out, the enemy are very difficult. The goons you hire are very entertaining, but totally insane. :lol: Yep...that game is one of my favorites.
