    Stargate Altantis Season 3 *Discussion Thread* 8/11

    Okay.. SG-1 has been good this season.. this is killing Atlantis for me.. Its the same damned story basically and the same damned mistakes that they made the first time.. do they not realize the majority of the fans are crossover fans? Sigh.

    Doctor Who - Age of Steel Season 2 #6 (spoilers)

    I guess I called the whole Micky thing in the last episode. Though I wondered if they'd do a bait-and-switch with Micky/Ricky before the end. In many ways it seems they are falling into a formula with secondary companions - two to three episodes and they get left behind. Not a bad thing in this...

    Nintendo's E3 showing--and beyond

    Well based on my experiences - which unfortunately do not include hands on time because of my interview schedule while there.. i think you'll find that Mario, Link and Metroid will all make the launch window. Nintnendo has me thinking differently about the launch than I was with the 360 and...

    No DM Client in NWN2 on release

    I asked the question directly after doing my interview with Obsidian in the Atari area and I'll tell you that both the guys demoing the game for the convention looked a bit sheepish, apologized and confirmed that it would most likely not be in the retail. Howevert he mod toolkit is - people will...

    A D&D 3.5 MMORPG

    Why should he have to back it up with numbers.. the reality is that Eberon.. be it a godsend or a waste of paper is no where near as developed as either FR or Greyhawk. The bigger question here is which world is most new player friendly yet offers enough hooks to set it apart from Azeroth...

    Xbox 360 Users?

    Had mine since before launch.. Also have most of the launch titles (I think Condemed is the only one I don't have actually). I'd say its a great update to the Xbox. The 360 has some solid technology in it and the revamped Live! is by far the best feature. Playing Halo 2 at full-screen 720p 8x...

    Is Turning Undead too powerful

    I think the issue here is more about encounter design. GMs who want to build undead encounters where a cleric can't just dust the baddies have to understand the way turning works. A personal example: I ran an encounter two weeks ago that concisted of an upgraded Bugbear Zombie and 4 kobold...

    Rate DOOM: The movie

    Well... Doom Score – 2 ½ stars ( 6 out of 10) Your Doom is upon you/ Zombies and Demons and Mutants – Oh My! Movies based on video games always suck. They are never able to please hard core fans of the game or make the content accessible enough to mainstream audiences. Doom, the latest silicon...

    Tell me about Kingdom of Heaven

    Hmm. I can't tell if this is a slur or not.. but honestly I disagree.. it put a face to the problems on both sides though the drama of seeing the weakness of the Christian Knights is present because of the storyteller's perspective and characters.. you don't get both sides of the story in this...

    World of Warcraft etc.

    WoW is playable solo at most levels.. it just means more makework levleing in between. One thing though to consider is that the game encourages quick and easy parties.. but does not require long term play commitments from groups. Players generally want to join parties for short times so it still...

    Stargate Atlantis:Season 2/9.23.05. NSCR. Mid Season Ending.

    I actually liked 'The Lost Boys', it was good to see Rainbow back but honestly I'm not so thrilled with the whole concept of the Lost Boys.. That and addicting Teala and Rohnan to Wraith Adrenalin. I'm looking forward to the resolution but honestly I don't expect any major changes as a result of...

    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Season 2A Part 10; NSCR/9.23.2005. Mid-Season Ending

    Since i havn't yet seen the final aired version I'm not positive it is in there but during the scene where Cain tells adama she is going to integrate the crew she mentioned that Agathon has Impregnated an enemy agent. I'm not sure this is in the final cut but it was very clearly in the earlier...

    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Season 2A Part 10; NSCR/9.23.2005. Mid-Season Ending

    There is some small joy at being a newspaper critic.. I get to see some of my favorite shows a little early... Fans won't be disappointed.. and the best news- the teaser doesn't ruin the show. Oh My God.. I can't believe they did that... Okay.. not wanting to spoil anything for anyone before...

    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Season 2A Part 10; NSCR/9.23.2005. Mid-Season Ending

    After seeing this episode I can say any fears and complaints I had about the initial evolution of the characters has faded away. I'm not going to spoil for anyone but the ending definately left me cursing that January is so far away.

    Stargate Atlantis Season 2: 9.9.05 NSCR

    The producers went another direction with the show. They decided that the character was not working and introduced this story to give the actor something to do.. albeit in a guest role. He is the focus of the Mid-Season cliff hanger BTW so we'll see him in two weeks. I've seen the episode -...

    Dungeon Siege II

    Well I'm working on my review right now for the paper but let me sum this up with my perspective - I love a good hack and slash RPG from time to time and Dungeon Siege, while not terribly original, was a good game. DS II is possibly better than the first in terms of story, setting,cool things to...

    Any D&D 3.5 games out there?

    Well Temple of Elemental Evil is 3.5 and if you get the community patches it works pretty well even. Also it's real inexpensive these days as well.

    PSP: Untold Legends - I've become a junkie

    I'm looking forward to the sequel that is in the works.. should be out by Christmas. Sony Online did rush this out - they admitted as much when I was doing my review background when the PSP launch happened. I however have two copies and enjoy the multiplayer immensely. Sure it's a popcorn for...
