Heya: In the case of Zod the Bear ("Kneel before Zod!") I never bothered with his Bite attack. My strategy with him was to do a Charge Attack and then next turn do my absolutely favorite skill attack in the entire game: Powered Pull Down. Man, I loved this. While Zod was pouding and...

Heya: I got Gladius for the XBox before the XMas vacation started and spent a ton o' time playing the game. Think a cross between the movie Gladiator and a game of Chess. Turn-based, so definitely a slow-paced game, but I found it tons of fun. Combat is usually in arenas with different...

Heya: That 20th lvl fighter NPC should probably get that Close Quarters Fighting feat. It's pretty good, isn't it? Hopefully got the name right. No documentation at hand, but I seem to recall it's valuable defensively when encountering larger nasty grapplers. In regards to other feats...

Heya: Wow, I can't believe I completely blanked on that jumping part. Yep, I didn't like that section at all either. Thank goodness they were generous enough to put save points right after the jumping stuff or I'd've been extremely annoyed. I hope the sequel avoids that sort of thing. I...

Heya: I don't recall _any_ jumping in BGDA at all, but there is a timed thing called "The Gauntlet" once you complete the game that either unlocks a fun character or a more difficult mode. Ugh, that was frustrating to get through. Cool game, tho. I'm looking forward to the sequel, assuming...

Heya: I enjoyed Prey when it first came out and I assume I'll enjoy the inevitable movie. A popcorn book and a popcorn movie. Question about nano-tech: Cars are awesome devices. It's amazing being able to drive down to the store, get some food, and drive back. Without gas it's not...

Heya: Question on henchman available in Chapter 2: Thanks, Dreeble

Heya: D'oh. Also, thanks Gez. No wonder my French coworker didn't know what I was talking about. I also say "Croy sants" (rhymes with pants) to annoy him. Take care, Dreeble

Heya: Are you using imprecise language here? You have to use Power Attack first, right? Shouldn't your sentence begin, "If you use Power Attack, then..."? Take care, Dreeble PS: On the other hand, overall I'm on the no PA damage bonus for CDG side, simply because in a debate this long and...

Heya: The _best_ comics? Okay, stuff that I get that I know I'm guaranteed to enjoy: Amelia Rules, Ultimate Spider-Man, Liberty Meadows, and Powers, in no particular order. I know that after reading any of those, I'm gonna have a smile on my face. I'd list stuff like Astro City but recent...

Heya: In general, the various alignment based starts to the game and their resulting quests are primarily designed to give a bit of a story and motivation. They don't really seem to have a huge impact otherwise. My suggestion would be to definitely reload and get those two heavy hitters...

Heya: I enjoyed the heck out of IWD2. Definitely a hack-n-slash, though not quite to the degree of the first one. Some of the fights in the game can be quite challenging, especially if you don't resort to any cheesiness or don't pause and micromanage. Example of cheesiness I used a lot...

Heya: I don't know if they fixed this in the patch, but my experience with Full Attack was that if you chose that option, you'd see something like "2/2" above the head of the selected character. If you select a mob to attack and attack it, you _might_ then see "1/2" or might not. If not...

Heya: I downloaded the patch last night from the official site (between 15 and 28kb/s, bleh) and had no problems with it at all. I'd suggest visiting the official forums and seeing if anything in the troubleshooting section helps. Then I downloaded the 2.0 Co8 patch. I _think_ I installed...

Heya: No, we _do_ know what happens after Revolutions: The Matrix Online. Where players fight agents and cops and security guards and such. The Wachowski (sp?) Brothers were reportedly already working on the game with the developers immediately after finishing Revolutions. As such, the...

Heya: I would rate ToEE as one of the top 10 games of 2003, too. Higher than #6, tho. Of course, I'd also rate PoR2:RoMD as one of the top 10 games of whatever year it came out. The set of games I like is itsy bitsy. If it's not a turn-based RPG, FPS (single player, not 'squad based'), or...

Heya: Okay, just to be clear, did you read Timeline? I have to admit that I read it right when it came out and so don't remember all the details, but the impression I got was the Crichton actually claimed the current day perceptions of the middle ages were way off. For example, that...

Heya: Ultimate Spider-Man #49: I love Bendis' pacing and dialogue. Seeing J. Jonah Jamison demonstrate why he's in the newspaper biz, why he was against Spidey, and why he'll hopefully be more fair and balanced was cool. I wish they'd stop using that paper on the outside. It sucks...

Heya: Does Cleave require one to drop an opponent? If so, the Azer wasn't an opponent (of the fire giant), right? So, Cleave shouldn't've fired off? This actually relates to that bucket of snails thing from way back. Snails aren't opponents. If they are, then my character declares air...

Heya: Although I don't _think_ the official patch is out yet, there was a description of what was sposta be in it, including preventing crashes caused by going from location to location. If this is for real, then I'll definitely try one more Ironman game. _Then_ I'll be done with the game...
