    Tiny insignificant details in games that really impressed you

    In Spiderweb Software's recent game Queen's Wish 2, almost any occupied base you go into actually has bathrooms that you can find. Usually a small two by two room with two pots with a puddle underneath to indicate it. The company often has such places in their other games, which is a nice...

    Thing normal people do that you dont

    Precisely that. Mind you, I don't mean that I've never done NNN, I mean that for me it's just November. Every month is NNN for me, as I have never done THAT in my entire life. Yes, should I get married my wife and I will likely die in the ensuing explosion caused from released backup.

    Thing normal people do that you dont

    1: Social Media. I don't have a twitter, I deleted my Facebook (that I never use), and don't use any of that stuff. 2: Use Yahoo. I don't Google, I Yahoo. 3: Get haircuts more than 3 times a year. Once in November, once in the end of June/start of July, once in March. 4: I don't know how...

    Half Life Alyx thoughts.

    As someone else who got the game and has been playing it, allow me to put in my own two cents. For the record, VR setup is a Vive with Index controllers. Now, I'm not a super-huge Valve fan myself, but even I have to admit the game is very good. Visually it's great, with characters being...

    Plans for the Covid 19 Lockdown

    Well, the state declared all non-essential businesses are to be closed. Fun fact, I'm in construction (electrician) and it turns out construction was deemed an "essential" business. Now, I work in NYC, and it makes sense that it's essential if it's like, hospital or subway construction. But...

    Character Creation and You

    First Character is almost always: Mekel Galasarn Human Fighter-type (Or Equivalent) In fantasy games, uses sword-and-board and heavy armor. In shooters and the like, tends to use bolt-action rifle or equivalent (Not quite sniper rifles). Appearance is usually the same... guy's face...

    The Outer Worlds Impressions - Oh.....I get it now

    My Little Pony series finale.

    Well considering the fandom view is that Lyra is a mare who has a fascination with a fictional species that has never existed before in Equestria, possibly bordering on the "THEY TOTALLY EXISTED" levels, with a potential near fetishistic love of one of their limbs (i.e. HANDS), yes. Bonbon is...

    Monty Python turns 50

    50 years ago today, Monty Python's Flying Circus aired its first episode, making it officially over the hill now! I think that's how the term works, right? Thus we've got fifty years of dead parrots, crunchy frogs, arguments, fresh fruit, and.... well more! Got any favorite sketches?

    Any other games like Jade Empire?

    I am, and of course, they vary. Neverwinter Nights for example, another Bioware game, has turn-based under the hood, but works live-action with a pause button so you wouldn't notice the turns going by. Same with NWN 2. Depends on where you look for things.

    Any other games like Jade Empire?

    Almost any game based off the D&D ruleset is likely to have "Monk" as one of the class options. It IS one of the classes in D&D itself, after all. It may not be quite what you're looking for, but there you go.
