DO I have to do a "first page" it I posted the thread? :P

Bruno, you might be interested in this- GamingBolt just interviewed the game designer of Guild Wars 2 and I got to ask a few questions myself. I'm transcribing the interview right now :P khoofia_pika

[QUOTE="khoofia_pika"]Bruno, you might be interested in this- GamingBolt just interviewed the game designer of Guild Wars 2 and I got to ask a few questions myself. I'm transcribing the interview right now :P BrunoBRS

I asked him about future expansions packs and the rivalry with WoW (quite predictably) and I actually got clear, definitive answers. I was pretty surprised. Pleasantly, of course :P

let me guess. he mentioned the update that was put up a couple weeks back, and the just-announced christmas update? :P

oh, and their favorite line ever, "we have a bunch of stuff in store for the next few months, that we'll announce when it's ready".

Oh, and I also asked if there will be a Linux port and he said they're looking into it, He talked about console ports too, but that was vague crap.

I do want to play GW2 though, it looks like a really good game. Wish I had a proper PC. khoofia_pika

Windows 7 has problems running Age of Empires 2. You need to perform a quick fix (Launch the game, Alt-Tab out of it, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Processes, close Explorer.exe, alt-tab back into the game) to actually run it without issues.charizard1605

the free weekend also changed his opinion from "it looks interesting" to "HOLY SH!T IT'S A F*CKING REVOLUTION I NEED THIS GAME NOW". seriously, he spent the entire week after the free weekend in a state of shock, mentioning how amazing GW2 was. he said he's going to finish the semester before buying it though, he's afraid if he buys it now, he won't be able to focus on his studies :P

Is Canyourunit.com accurate? khoofia_pika

Yap. you?

because why not, here's a picture of blanka with reading goggles:

God of War Origins collection is genuinely kind of bad. I mean they're enjoyable when I remind myself they were initially handheld titles but lack of any good puzzles, lackluster boss fights, lost sense of scale and terribly easy (even playing on Hard I'm cruising through them)... meh

In regards to the military article John linked, the interviewees themselves didn't say anything particularly unexpected but they are correct. Military life can be incredibly boring (which to me is a good thing considering the alternative). Honestly, unless you're in something crazy like the President's top 100 or Delta Force it's like working a regular 8 to 4 job. I was genuinely surprised by just how popular CoD and the BF series were within the barracks but after coming off a day from the range or doing sim flights it's pretty easy to seperate that arcadish game experience from the real deal. No one wants to play a game cleaning an M4 for an afternoon or stare at a battle cam so long you can start to name the rocks.

Even "realistic" portrayal of war, like The Hurt Locker, is incredibly inaccurate. It's hard to replicate the brotherhood, the sense of family. It's hard to replicate making friends all over the place, only to leave them in a short time and never see them again, knowingly so the whole time.

I'm fine with where war games and movies are at right now. They're entertaining, they're fun to play and most of them don't try too hard... and that's fine.

The first part of your post reminded me of that The Onion video about the CoD sequel, Whiskey.freedomfreak

Gotta go watch this
