You have people in your home who would run up and punch you in the jollies? If so, I'm sorry for you. Very sorry. If not, where else would you be wearing an Oculus?

I've been wanting a Hexen III for ages. Hexen II is one of my favorite games. I could deal with a new heretic too, but I prefer first person. I picked up Heretic, Hexen and Hexen II on Steam. It was getting to be a pain to manage on a new machine.

My specialty is the unification of Germany. The Battle of Koniggratz (or Sadowa if you prefer), culminating battle of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 was of major interest. I only have a masters degree, but my grasp on period warfare is pretty good. The battle had high casualties and a...

It's gotten mostly average reviews. Except apparently from Mr. Parkinson. I saw it. Family will do that for you. It's a clichéd family / animal film. It's terribly average. It's not a 1 out of 5 star movie though. I didn't go in to it with preconceptions or expectations because I had no interest...

Then you probably shouldn't have :) So football players are "more real" than authors, artists, programmers, and so on? I assure you the fans who participate in cosplay are fans of the creative talent and companies behind the characters they portray be they derived from anime, manga, comics...

On a site centered on video games you find something grounded, very loosely, in reality more worthy of "obsessive" fandom than something fictional... I take it the irony is not lost here... or are videogames more "real" than comics or anime? Anime, comics, videogames and professional football...

Well, both my favorites made the list; Wing Commander: Privateer and Tie Fighter. As grigjd3 mentioned above mentioned, I would have placed Privateer above the other Wing Commander games. WC 1-3 were fun, but Privateer was absorbing. And RSE Star Citizen seems set to scratch that itch...

Glad to know I wasn't the only one grinding my teeth about "eye dee" :) And yes, old school original style Doom sounds good to me. Very good.

I haven't bought the individual boxed sets. There is a pretty good chance I'll by the Ultimate / all in one edition.

I can think of a dozen Norse goddesses off the top of my head, many of which could be good comic book material. Going for the theatrical potential of replacing the male Thor with a female version (who should have her own name, even if she takes up Mjolnir) is just cheap publicity. It will be...

Privateer was, for me, a better game than it's siblings Wing Commander 1 or 2. I enjoyed the choice and freedom. Just tooling around space and doing what you wanted. The Wing Commander games were pretty good too, they just didn't scratch the itch that Privateer did... but, to each their own.

He... liked it. Well, I've a pile of Steam credit from Christmas. Off to Steam I go.

Loved Panzerblitz and Panzerleader. Played them all, but D&D dominated our game time starting in mid 1974. We still bought games like ASL, but they didn't get the play time they would have...

Well, I had the hardback and now I have the PDF and extras. Nice. Thank you for the reminder :)

I've used the 1E and 2E Battlesystem rules (and Chainmail and Swords and Spells before that). They were decent miniature rules using D&D concepts. I'll probably use this if I switch to DDN. Still 3.X right now and I admit to liking the Heroes of Battle concept with the battle being an adventure...
