I think it's called d20 Modern Grim Tales Spycraft True20 any number of things. :)

I believe the company is on record as stating that DLC will happen.

Barsoomcore: anything about shields, and what they let you do with respect to ranged stuff? Either clarification or new abilities? I'd love to make the Parrying Specialist guy, but not using parrying against ranged attacks just seems un-fun.

To address the dying-in-past issue, one easy way to handle it is: - PC gets into a fight in the past. - If PC loses: -- PC's ally and friend dies for PC - If PC wins: -- PC's ally shows up in the present to help. The PC is never in danger of dying, but doing well in the past will cause plot...

I keep a running blog about my current game, listed in the .sig. (It took a break from November on due to family illness and then holiday season.) It's behind the friendlock, but I friend anyone who friends me -- the lock is just there to keep players who also read the blog from accidentally...

Sadly, it ain't even gone yet. I left for the U.S. before Christmas, and the shipping box hadn't arrived yet. Not RROD, though -- some disk tray error, where it can no longer read any disk. Right in the middle of the geth incursion bit where you're hacking your way through base after base. I...

Still haven't beaten the darn game. Hopefully my repaired 360 comes back soon-ish. :(

Steel_Wind is right: this animation compares to Gargoyles, Justice League, and Class of the Titans, all of which are non-anime. It doesn't compare favorably, mind you. The comparison goes along the lines of, "Wow, this looks worse than any Western animation I've recently seen that wasn't...

You're proving that you can use the follower in all situations. That said, you don't have to do it. It's like the uncharted worlds. There's a reward for doing it, but no penalty for not doing it. I will try to get the Completionist achievement, though, because I like doing as much of the game...

Also, regarding the ally achievements. Yep, they're tough to get. Also, they give you some kickass benefits permanently. They're not designed to be benefits that everyone casually gets. If you get a permanent +10% to your health on all future characters (as I understand it), you're going to have...

No idea why polonium is the way it is. I guess that their systems are vulnerable to radiation. Regarding Hardness, that's essentially "resistance to tech and biotic attacks". It's one of those things I usually ignore until I meet 10 crazed biotics or a dozen geth stalkers, at which point I pay...

Ditto and ditto. Note that you can use weapons you're not proficient in, though. You just can't zoom in with them. A high-level shotgun with no training at point-blank range can still clear out a room. The button that said "Cannon" on the vehicle-controls page didn't help? That page also notes...

I wouldn't say "Horribly." :) But yes, first game in the tech-stream, done on an engine that was still being completed as we worked on the game, so there are definitely some hiccups. And the elevators get old. I'm the guy who wrote the banter and news-vids to try to make the elevators seem less...

Are you mad???? Have you not seen the episode where Little Bear is attacked by an angry whale? I had a long conversation with work people that culminated in us all wondering why the heck they even MADE that episode. All of our kids run screaming from the room when the whale appears.

Shows I will actually enjoy when my son wants to watch them: Backyardigans Pocoyo Wonder Pets Shows I don't really enjoy but find nonobjectionable when my son wants to watch them: Max & Ruby Little Bear Mighty Machines Thomas the Tank Engine Shows that make me grind my teeth when my son...

Nitpick: Can you find me anything from BioWare that gives a formal release date for Mass Effect? Amazon.com, Microsoft, sure, I can see them saying stuff that turned out to be flat-out wrong, but while Mass Effect had a number of internal release dates planned (and then pushed back when it...

Today's average novel length depends on the genre. One of those thin Harlequins is about 60,000, I believe, while an average mystery paperback is around 75,000. Your average media tie-in novel (like a Star Wars book) runs in the 90,000 - 100,000 range, and a normal SF or Fantasy novel runs...

Yeah, no. It's about as likely to succeed as going to a published author and asking to co-write a novel by telling the author the ideas and having the author write everything down. Which is to say, not likely. At all.

What is your reason for doing NaNoWriMo? Are you expecting to write something of publishable quality (after rewrites), or is something you're writing to inspire you to write more in the future?

Heh. Personally, I have no idea why this was made public, but not anything more. It's one of those press releases that just... I dunno. But I believe that "fired" is too kind a word for what would happen to me should any leak happen on my watch, so draw from the helpful press release what you...
