    March '09: What are you reading?

    After finishing the super-awesome The Judging Eye (by R. Scott Bakker), I decided to go back to the beginning and do a reread of the series, with The Darkness that Comes Before. It's making a helluva lot more sense that the first time. :)

    Who Will Watch the Watchmen?

    I read it a few months ago for the first time. Kind of overrated in some ways, but still good. I'm looking forward to the movie.

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    Personally, I've never had a problem with the noise on the XBox. Most of the time it runs pretty silently (at least, no louder than my PC). There was at least once or twice where it ran kinda loud, but I haven't heard it run that loud for a long time since.

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    Also GoW1, Halo, and Halo 2 all came out years after the originals were released on their respective platforms, basically throwing a bone to the PC crowd and nothing more. Additionally, though I've only played the Halo port, each was supposedly considered a substandard port. I know the Halo...

    Best Character Generator Program

    I currently use HeroForge for making up NPCs and PC's, but it has some quirks that are proving to be slightly annoying: 1) As an excel sheet, it runs kinda slooooow at times. Plus, since I'm using Excel 2007, the compatibility mode can make it unreliable at times 2) Entering in new stuff is...

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5?

    See, here's where I disagree. Boosting the overall powerlevel of both races and classes is great, because it means that I don't have to hand out as much treasure. A lot (well, more than usual) of the power is contained within the classes as opposed to being contained within their respective...

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5?

    No, they do get a feat every level as characters in PF get a new feat every odd level regardless of which class they're playing and fighters get a bonus feat on every even level. So, a feat every level.

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5?

    I like a lot of stuff in Pathfinder and I am, in fact, using a couple of the base classes in my 3.5 FR campaign. I'm only using some of the classes and some of the feats, nothing else. I also tweaked a few of the classes, sorcerers and fighters got more skill points and more class skills, the...

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    LBP's the only one that looks good out of that list. In fact, were I rich, I'd prolly get a PS3 just to play it. :) The others? Meh, 'specially on MGS4

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    With what games? MGS4, Little Big Planet, and... there was some other exclusive 'big name' title in 2008, but I can't remember it. The 2008 'big name' exclusives definitely do close the gap between the X-Box and the PS3, but they haven't eclipsed the 360 yet.

    Which CRPG has the best STORY? (Forked from: Do you not play WoW?)

    I'd prefer Quality over Quantity and, from most of the quests I've done, they're all pretty damn good, a far cry from all of Morrowind's and most of Oblivions Personally I found the main storyline pretty good... up until the ending which was just bad. Very, very bad. But the lead up to it was...

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    Dragon Age: Origins by Bioware looks to be a return to BG-style games. Borderlands looks to be a neat combination between Co-op FPS and RPG with some Diablo elements. Aliens: Colonial Marines looks pretty cool, though I haven't heard much about it lately. Co-op alien killing! Brutal Legend...

    Which CRPG has the best STORY? (Forked from: Do you not play WoW?)

    Morrowind put me to sleep. ;) The thing with Morrowind is... the game world itself is pretty cool, the backstory is interesting, and the setting is inscrutably alien, but the gameplay and the actual story, bore me to tears. Planescape: Torment has probably the best 'story,' though Baldur's...

    The New HeroForge for 4E...

    Heroforge was the single greatest thing ever for 3.5. I'd love to see a version of this new software that's 3.5, but I'd understand if that wasn't possible. Good luck with the 4e version though. :)

    Do you not play WOW? Forked Thread: Wil Wheaton plays and reviews 4th.

    I play WoW. I've played since a few months after WoW came out, quite for about a year after Burning Crusade came out and then I just renewed my account for Lich King. I prefer D&D overall, but with WoW, I can usually play whenever I want, I can play at my own pace, and I can chat with my...

    The Prestige Fallacy

    I like prestige classes a lot. I use them all the time when I design NPC's. My players, however, don't seem to care about them at all. They're usually happy sticking with the base class until 20 and might consider a PrC only if I point one out to them. Me: "Hey, this looks like it would fit...

    December '08: What are you playing?

    Now that I've finished Fallout 3, I've gone back to play through Fallout 1... for the first time ever. It's pretty fun so far. I've got dogmeat and I think I...uh almost prematurely ended the game accidentally. Thankfully, I saved beforehand and was able to get out of it. :D
