If not for Tolkien this site probably wouldn't exist.

Vampire: TMBL. Bugged to unplayable levels at launch, one of the best rpgs of all time now.

cults have the best orgies, let him have a good time

Not cool with OPs spoiler, that shit ruins lives. Anyways, my favorite death scene is the end of Snake Eater, I mean, its not a creative death, but no other death is that memorable.

I dont know much about C#, I will look into that. Is it easier than C++?

Your right, it would be. The shooting in Metroid is pretty good, I will just have to design the game around the player having limited directions in which to shoot.

Well I'm comparing it to Castlevania in terms of graphical style, but as far as gameplay goes its a tad different (guns, a lasso that grabs enemies) so just using a keyboard can be a bit restrictive, but I suppose if Contra can do it so can I. I will look into C++, but I dont want to overwhelm...

Dont buy from alienware, you will pay much more than its worth. Browse newegg.com for something if you really insist on a laptop (newegg has great prices) but I strongly advise getting a desktop for gaming and a low-cost laptop to manage your college stuff. Thats what I do and it works nicely.

Very interesting point you have there. Realistic graphics of the future won't necessarily come with better hardware, there will have to be some new techniques used in how everything is rendered, otherwise it just wont look right.
