Great game.
I'm playing Left 4 Dead.
I started The Fall, it came free with a PC magazine. I don't know yet if I can get over the atrocious voice acting.
I have the "Reloaded" version which is even more extended than the extended version, I guess. 
The voice acting is really, really awful, though. It's so awful it makes the Fallout 3 voice acting look great in comparison. I even considered applying the fanmade English patch that disables the voices but I don't think it's available for the reloaded version.

I'm German, it's a German game. 
The voices sound very artificial, like somebody just reading his lines.

I've been fiddling around with LBP.
I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone use the wobble bolt with some hammers to make walking hammers yet.
It took me 10 minutes to think of it and another 5 to get it working correctly.

Currently playing Prelude to Darkness and Arcanum. Trying to get used to Prelude, though I enjoyed character creation.

My patch is working with Reloaded (1.10), since translation was based on that version.Buxbaum666 said:
As for cutting voices: AFAIK/AFAIR patch should do it, since in scripts (that are altered) there are references to audio files and there's no such in Polish version (translation is based on this*) - all voice over has been cut by publisher.
* someone left English comments for each piece of text
Cool, I might try that when I actually find time to play. I still have to finish the Witcher.Continuum said:
Interesting. So they made a Polish version but not an English one? Weird marketing strategy.Continuum said:

I think SSE had a lot of problems with releasing The Fall in English speaking territories (tons of bugs maybe?) and game finally ended without English version. That's why I made this patch.Buxbaum666 said:So they made a Polish version but not an English one? Weird marketing strategy.
AFAIK versions lower than 1.8 are almost unplayable and first release of the game (1.0) was at beta stage. German players were a beta testers with one exception - they bought damn game!
As for the Polish version: it was done by one of the worst publishers in Poland. One of the most pathetic and amateur translation ever. And as I already said: German voice over has been cut and wasn't replaced by Polish one
Well, recently Fallout 3. But I'm planning to buy S.T.A.L.K.E.R and BioShock now my new PC should be able to play them. I also plan to play Arcanum and perhaps try Fallout 2 if it doesn't feel too dated. Maybe get GTA IV too if the DRM issues and bugs are sorted and if it'll run on my machine.
Before FO3 I was playing Oblivion, Galactic Civilizations 2 and Hitman Blood Money.

It Wandered In From the Wastes
Recently I've finished Dreamfall. I was expecting this to be, in some way, a sequel to 'The Longest Journey' not just in name but also in quality. But in the end it seems like they ditched the entire 'deep involving story, with interesting characters and lots of relevant deep conversations that add to the lore, characters, world and story, combined with well executed problems which could be solved mostly without consulting a walkthrough'.
And instead inserted a half-way finished story, pushed some new lukewarm characters into the story, completely failed at creating challenging puzzles of which most could be solved by using one of either two items you have in your inventory, and the rest by using your mobile. No, this was without a doubt not a good successor to what I consider to be one of the few very good adventure games of a newer age.
Apart from that, I've been trying to like Fallout 3. But I just can't get the feeling that I'm anywhere near the intended targeted audience for this game. I don't 'get' exploding heads, especially not when it means that heads disconnect from the body when shot by a 10 mm. I...I just constantly feel alienated by little annoying and condescending things, like 'bobbleheads' that somehow magically add to my stats, and how wearing clothes suddenly makes me a very capable doctor or explosion expert.
Also, I'm trying to play as an inquisitor type character, meaning, I'm always right, and I judge people, either damning them or bringing them my eternal salvation. This brings me to do strange things, like saving Butch'es mom, since she's done nothing wrong as far as I know, but afterwards killing Butch, since I've deemed him evil, a burden to the world and redundant. His mother than reacts completely apathetic to this act of murderous violence, doesn't try to attack me, and nothing, she just sits there.
It's a pretty fun way to play though, as long as you completely disregard all the 'good karma! bad karma!' sounds and visual cues. You've got to let go of the game's judgement. I mean, even if you were a sadist, the game would still judge you 'good'. Saving Butche's mom just so you could kill her son in front of her would still give you more good points than evil. Yeah, right. I'm a veritable flowerchild.
