An interesting interview: http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?articleid=167 Meanwhile the game will be release tomorrow.

Indeed, where are you OVS?

I saw it happen with the Euro 2000 hosted by my country. At least one of the stadiums isn't being used at all. We had some revenues for hosting but it was a bad investment. It could have been recovered if the World championship would have gone to Portugal/Spain, because the infrastructure was already there. It's always a question of money. And football his corrupted by it. There's a certain tendency to man corrupt and get corrupted. It's in our genes. It's also in the Bible.

Well Olham, you found an obscure picture from Lisboa. But for someone who lived there more than 30 years, well... I'm not sure what street it is, but it's familiar. It's in the old part of the city. 12 years ago I moved 15Km away from Lisboa and I'm leaving now in Carcavelos. Here's a picture of the Carcavelos beach.

:yes: Remember that this cold is different. It's not a dry cold, which is more bearable. I'm a 15 minute on foot from the Atlantic Ocean. Besides most of our houses are build thinking on hot weather and not in cold weather.

No, it didn't spare all Portugal. But in almost half of the country never snows. But we are having some low temperatures, in the place where I live between 4ºC and 10ºC. I'm freezing.

And I only saw snow once in my life.

Eheheh. He's behind a router. But as far as I know, the user in question, receives some porno through mail. So... and he is the boss so he's entitled to it.

Yes. I'm trying it with a couple of users and I do think it's a good alternative to the free AV. However you need a firewall (not the Windows native one) to complement it. Without it it won't be much of use. One of the users with Vista, caught twice, some trojans and a virus. In his case I've gave up using it.

There's also a good mod for Oblivion called Nehrim. This one is finished and ready for download. I didn't played it yet, but from what I've read from other users reviews is highly recommended.

By the way Mount & Blade is on sale in Steam. 5€. One of the best Hack n Slash, is the new Divinity 2: Dragon knight, which brings 2 SP campaigns. 100 hours of play. I tried this weekend, and really liked it.

It's looking quite nice. As far as I know they want to finish next year. A lot of pictures here.

Hi! Welcome!

Thanks Bullet. I think I'll try to get a demo. For the Oblivion fans, here he's a mod of Tolkien's Middle -Earth already in beta stage. http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-mod

And for playing in SP, do I need to have both M&B and Warband, or Warband will be enough? Do you know if with the Steam version I can play with mods?

I always thought that M&B was multiplayer... can I play it in SP?

I saw this in another forum and reminded me your post: EDIT: @Hellshade, there's a mod if you like large inventories. I usually prefer to not use this mods, because the game was meant to be played with a small inventory. http://www.insidetwoworlds.com/showthread.php?t=32213

To all my American pals, have a good Thanksgiving.

There's also an indie game called Evochron (tle last is Evochron Mercenary), in the line of X. I've been playing it lately. It's quite good. Along the years the game is getting better. I see there a lot of potentialities. What is amazing, is written in Dark Basic and it's only a one man job. That reminds me a lot like things were in the beginning. When I read it was made in dark basic, I become suspicious. But when I've begin to play, well... I don't care in which language it's written, the game is good. If you like X universe give it a try with the demo. I know Mount & Blade, and so far I only read great things about it. Maybe one day.

I'm not a religious person, but may God bless you Bullet and grant a long life. I'm prepared to be last of the Mohicans as far as it concerns PC gaming. The truth is that I'm buying more indie games than ever and that's not only because I feel that they are the real ones who carries the flag of real PC gaming, but because it's their products which are offering me the best gaming experience, nowadays. I couldn't agree more with you, Bullet. You sir, have hit the spot. Those 5 points are exactly what I think. And things are getting worse each year. Dragon Age II, will most probably be a dumb down version of the first. And that is happening with almost all franchises. Year after year we see these things happening. Computer gaming is being replaced by poor video gaming. The console tyranny is breaking down the creativity of developers. Consoles poor command controls and wrong game postures (couching) are driving the developers to produce more easy and streamlined games. All that pleases the new industry barons that only see video/computer games as commodities. Edit: Javito that's a nice collection.

About the Witcher I've felt the same problem as you. I was almost giving up, mostly due to the camera. But I used a little modification which solved the camera problem. After getting used to the combat style, the game came to be quite good. Good story and a quite good game. Expecting Witcher II that will be released next year. For the TWII, you've also the digital version available for download.

As far as I understand, the English retail shops will have only in January, but they are selling already in Zuxxedirekt in english. And while the voice acting seems deplorable, the gameplay seems ok. But I didn't even played a hour. At least it seems to be better than Gothic 4.

I've played WoW, 4 years ago, for a couple of months. When I sensed in what I was being lead to, I gave up. MMORGs are in generally very time consuming and WoW is not different. So I naturally stop playing it. One of the things that annoys me more with WoW, is that a lot of PC players stop playing other games. That (probably more than piracy) created an negative impact in the PC gaming industries. I can find more reasons for that to have happened, but this one seems to be very important and sometimes to easily devaluated by the industry itself. So Hellshade, you can look into the positive side of things. You can play more games now. If you like heroic fantasy RPGs, then you've a few titles available: - Dragon Age - Drakensang: The river of time - Two Worlds II - Risen - Gothic 4 (a dumb down version of anterior titles) - Divinity 2: Flames of vengeance - and the still very playable, although not much RPG, The Witcher. And list could be bigger if you like SF ambiance. I'll remember you Mass Effect series and Fallout New Vegas. So don't despair there are a lot of good titles out there to play.

Willkomen!

A toast to the best best forum and to the best members.
