The real problem was that they took a brilliantly written game (probably the best written one I've played) and ended it with a combat slog.

Damn, all this really old school BFG predecessor stuff is awesome. You might consider playing that considering how light on the models a small game can be, you probably have enough minis already. Really wish my Thousand Sons Devastation with spiffy castley bridge was near done... or that I had a...

Final Fantasy VIII. I quite enjoy it, but enough people call it bad that I'll stick it on this list. I couldn't get through the first disk of VII, but there's something about VIII that I don't mind. The plot is a warped caricature of something decent at least (which I'm not sure I'd say about...

Klein Bottle. I'd much rather prefer the n-dimensional bottle, but I don't know the name. Still, the analogue of a Klein Bottle in an n-dimensional space where you need up-arrow notation would be win.

Yep, basically infinity is totally counterintuitive. There are no gaps between the lines of symmetry because there are infinitely many of them, so it follows that you can't pick two neighboring lines of symmetry with any separation between them (because then, no matter how small the separation...

As somebody who does exactly what you say (other than when I'm talking to people, that's just rude), I can tell you exactly why I listen to music most of the day and have listened to the same song on repeat hundreds of times in a single day (although if I do that, I quickly get bored of it)...

Girl Genius for sure even if, being originally a print comic it might not be what you're looking for, and a massive second on ms paint adventures, it's amazing.

Guard. There's something awesome about a bayonet, flashlight, t-shirt and enough guts to take it against a power armored maniac with a chainsaw, especially when there's untold millions of them per war. And the tanks. So many and so awesome. A treadhead am I. Tau. They fight like a modern...

It would've lasted considerably longer. Japan would've had free reign in the Pacific considering their vast aviation superiority over the British and the Russians being tied up in the west. The Russians would've had to make their own logistics train instead of getting most of the vehicles...

Even when team gizka's done, kotor 2 won't be the game it should've, could've and would've been if Obsidian'd just been allowed to finish the damn ending or been allowed to make it into a patch like they wanted to. That's the thing that kills me. 3/4ths of that game is amazing, and then the...

Real people team (which for a bonus could actually have been assembled): Chesty Puller Dan Daly Jack Churchill Smedley Butler Sure with two officers it's rather heavy on command, but if anything goes wrong they can build a little fort out of all their medals and with three of the most...

The thing is it isn't good enough. Generally people like to maintain some expectation that when you buy a computer game you're within spitting distance of owning it. Having to remember to deactivate your installation is a reminder that you don't actually own the game and that if they decide they...

Medieval 2: 4 units of spear militia, 2 of town watch, 2 units of mailed knights and a general up against about 8 units of assorted italian militia (hooray for italians getting twice the stats on their militia as anybody else!)and more knights than I had. Anyway, I tried to hold them at the...
