Thanks for the heads up. Waiting for my copy (DELAYED IN EUROPE FOR NO REASON YAY), and will activate it in-game instead then. They had the same issues with Dragon Age regarding their superidiotic DLC system.
Cried of joy/sadness at the end of KotOR (I got the good ending, celebration and all). It was just so rewarding to see that ceremony, but it was also so hard to say goodbye to my friends :( Recently I cried a single tear at the end of Dragon Age, when saying goodbye to everyone. BioWare does it for me.
I cried massively of sadness at the end of Mafia. The story touched me so much, and I felt so bad for poor Tommy. Just trying to get away and start anew.. Sigh.. Fuck you Salieri.
edit: Oh right, the ending of HL2: EP2. I had a hard time looking at the screen and seeing Alyx like that made me fucking lose it. :(( I want EP3 NOW so I can get some fucking revenge.
I like everyone in 2 more then in 1. The characters in 1 were just kinda flat and stereotypical. As they said on the bombcast, the biker, the vietnam vet, the business dude, and the.. girl. Rochelle has alot more personality then Zoey, so they improved on that. She's a newscaster, she mentions it a few times and also makes really, really terrible/funny wordplays and jokes.
Ellis and Coach are absolutely hilarious, and Nicks sarcasm spices things up a bit.
And Ihaymehr, hey, didn't know if you've noticed, but this isn't 1997. Rendering millions of polygons isn't exactly complex. Rendering shittons of shaders (water, for example) including ambient occlusion and other fun stuff, however is. The complexity of an object is not equal to it's amount of polygons any longer.
You are however correct in that we no longer see the massive performance drops when encountering shaders in a game, since they are everywhere, and because GPUs for the last 5 years have focused on shaderperformance.
It's a 360 game. Anything decent, 3 years old or newer, will max that game like nothing. Newer cards on decent rigs usually get like 180-250 FPS in Mass Effect 1. ME2 won't be any different.
Also, BioWares PC games are always pretty well optimized. DA can be played on anything, so can ME. And of course ME uses UE 3.0, which is ancient now.
You haven't raided very much, huh? *waits for the obligatory "I've raided everything, even Arthas and GOD!!!" reply*
I've raided alot. Most stuff in pre-bc except AQ and Naxx, not that much in BC except Gruul, Kara, ZA, and Wrath up to Ulduar. I've been a raidleader in most of those.
Sorry for the generalization, but the females I've played with have been either obstinate, obnoxious or plain rude, or just plainly sucked. Two of them started crying after I critiqued them for failing multiple times over like the course of an hour. They then proceeded to ragequit the guild and go sob in general chat. I'm all for female players and tried to promote diversity when I was playing, but got disappointed every single time.
Actually, I've played with one nice and friendly female player, but she never was that hardcore so she didn't raid with us.
Wow, how delightfully perfect that woman is. That would be my perfect sunday too, especially sharing it with her!
I've never ever played with a female that wasn't horrible in some aspect of raiding in WoW however, but I could totally live with that. As long as it's Adrienne Curry and she's naked.
