  1. I dont really find a game replayable if you can make all the best choices during the first walkthrough anyway. You choose the stealth gameplay over action - you get enough xp to unlock all the useful augments; no reason not to do all the side quests before advancing in plot, the game warns each time you're about to pass a point of no return; there arent really any equal choices, there are those that bring you to the best scenario (less bloodshed and all), why would you replay the game to make it worse, like, let Malik die and see what happens? The only real brunching comes at the very culmination, so you hit the save button and try out all four possibilities, just to hear Adam's final speech differ slightly depending on how you played (or you can even see that all on youtube, without the save/load routine. On the other hand what i liked was how some quests were affected by your actions without actually warning you. Not like you have a fixed objective A with and a fixed optional point B. At the very beginning, during the hostage situation, no one actually tells you "hey, if you dont make it in time, the hostages will die". I personally thought David would bug me on the radio for ages while i take a slow look around to my liking and the game timer would be frozen, but no, my actions actually cost human lives. After such a start you expect even more but alas that's about it. The only other situation i can recollect is Malik's ambush, at first i didnt even think i could change the outcome, lucky i gave it a shot.
  2. I'm pleasantly surprised about how Fallout affected Elder Scrolls. Made the gaming all in all more comfortable, but still would like more ways to complete a quest. Like in case with the cannibals, you can either assist them by doing what the quest says, or just massacre them without warning (which is quite awkward). Can't rat them out, persuade into leaving the nasty habit, can't tell them to mind their own business and let you be (can ignore the active quest forever, but c'mon, that's a stupid solution). Then, the followers aren't really individuals, rather just an assisting sword and extra inventory space. The many "fetch this, do that" quests that bring some extra XP in other games can't really do that in Elder Scrolls, so instead they bring cash which sometimes look weird (seemingly poor folk suddenly part with valuables just cause you agreed to run a small errand for them. At one point a Jarl gives you half a grand in gold because you inform him that he wont be getting his pay from one of the mills anytime soon... suspicious.) Hey but i emphasize, all that is a small rant, overall the game leaves a great impression.
  3. It was Naruto, after i had watched 135 episodes of anime. I liked the fact that manga was much less time-consuming. Naruto had been going on for quite some time before i started so i had a lot of chapters. Eventually i caught up and found it inconvenient to wait for a whole week just to advance in plot a little, so i stopped reading. The day Naruto ends i'll read the rest (unless by the time it happens i'll be indifferent to that). Trying not to get spoiled in the meantime.
  4. Needed to take my mind of studies for a while, so grabbed the first thing that was around - Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball,1973 by Haruki Murakami. Though i know a lot of people who didnt like it at all, it was an easy reading that left me with a slightly elevated mood. Give it a try and see for yourselves.
  5. I like to think (and say) that they're black, in fact they are quite brown. And though i'm really content with my color, i like to see sickly bright blue in others' eyes.
  6. is all about just being around and saying words in an overly complicated manner
  7. You do realize that people in whose brains Legend of Zelda isnt the first thing understand a completely different thing when you talk about dead links.
  8. Surely, not by far the most difficult, but for me probably the most memorable and the one that left me with a stupid satisfied smile right after defeating it. And to think i was playing on mere Normal. It's The Mother from Dragon Age: Awakening. Took me a load of neuron-destroying attempts, and when you lose in that fight, you dont just lose immediately, you go down after a hell of a long fight, but you still go down. Was so glad i had three mages in my four fighters' unit. Plus a rogue dwarf-girl with a strong physique who had no chance in that fight but still managed to work some bombs and land some feisty criticals on the boss before departing. The rest of the battle was pure magery, from all the effects activated at once the frame count per second at times reached that of a fast slideshow, not like that was a problem, given i was pausing every half second anyway. For the first time i had used all available mass damaging spells at one spot. I think now i know what hell looks like: a flesh-ripping frost in addition to scorching flames, mixed with deadly toxic and charging bolts, and in the center - a deformed woman with bare breasts, and i mean a lot of deformed bare breasts, thriving leech-like creatures and creeping tentacles. As Velanna, a Dalish elf able to use mother earth as a deadly weapon, was about to fall, she managed to signify her own death with an explosion of hundreds roots coming from underneath and penetrating everything around like sharp spikes. She left the battle, but took all the disgustingly annoying and dangerous creatures with her, leaving only me, Anders and The Mother in a final standoff. The outcome wasnt yet decided, not at all, as the mages, despite the tremendous havoc the two were causing, were fragile enough to be downed with one attack, not yet mentioning the periodically appearing runic signs, which took away all the magic power in a second. This was an endurance match, each second the warlocks lived The Mother's health declined by a tiny amount. The last strike was dealt with a sword in the battlemage's hand. The creature lay down, resembling a sarcophagus made of half rotten flesh. I leaned back in the chair, took a deep breath and enjoyed watching a story told about the outcome of all my actions on course of the game. I like Dragon Age. In the sequel the last boss was difficult to fail on highest mode. Unpleasant, maybe, still there was a boss in the game that corrected the situation. Perhaps the fact that facing it wasnt necessary for the main quest left the developers' hands untied. As a result - a High Dragon like it has to be. With homing firebreath, unreachable positions and half a hundred weaker creatures to back it up. Not actual spoilers below, just images.

  18. 8 - your color gamma is saying "Dose mushrums are starting to work right about nao"
  19. it was a SNES rom which i played on an emulator and it was in english, perhaps you can find the PS One release too since ps emulator works like a charm on pc, also if i remember right the sequel was released only on ps one. I got no links but it should be easy to find. Feeling like playing a bit of survival?

  20. dunno what to answer, except that i think two erotic demispheres beat an erotic sphere every day of the week.

    Hows your enlightment in martial arts? My experience with them was pathetic.
