Patrick Stewart as Stannis? Nah, too likeable. Ed Harris. -Ryan

I'll be interested to see if there's any truth to this. I've got to stay on the skeptical side of things. I mean ... John Carmack. -Ryan

I read on PlanetGamecube that a certain percentage of Gamecube CPUs came from IBM's fab plant with a particular flaw that happens to be triggered by Metroid Prime. I have absolutely no sources to cite for this, so ... grain of salt. A lot of people also have issues with the motors in the disc...

That sucks. I've heard a lot of complaints about Metroid Prime freezing, though it never happened to me. It's unfortunate that it had to happen to a game that had you "on the fence", so to speak. My understanding is that it's actually not a problem with the game, but rather with the cube...

I think that the game designers did an effective job of using a combination of visuals and music to evoke a certain atmosphere. For example, Phendrana Drifts felt lonely and remote to me. I didn't want to go there because it actually made me feel sad on some level. -Ryan

It's hard to say exactly what I loved about Metroid Prime. I'll just say that I did indeed like the game very much, and I hope that you enjoy it more as you work through it. I will say this about the difficulty level: Some of the bosses later in the game are very challenging. Either that I...

What's the big deal? I realize there's no saving throw, but Ice Storm only does 5D6 damage. -Ryan

I'm not looking for a new game right now; however, our group is always looking for players, so I'd like to extend the invitation. Right now, we have a mixed sci-fi D20 (mostly Dragonstar) game and an ongoing D&D game that we switch between every few months. We generally play on Tuesday...

Sorry to snip so much from Stormprince's nice post. I just wanted to sort of respectfully disagree with the above and emphasize the theme of balance, which I feel to be major part of Dragonlance. The novels put a lot of emphasis on the idea that extreme good and extreme evil are both...

What do you guys think about the cel-shaded look? I'm withholding judgement until I can actually play the game, of course. Some of you lucky folks will probably have it by the time you read this post, so give us the 411 :) I'm enjoying Ocarina of Time immensely. I must say that, having never...

Well, well, well. I should have had more faith. I got my bonus disc today. It's a good thing I called the store when I did, because they apparently only had a few left. Incidentally, my local store won't have the game until Tuesday. Official release date is Monday, right? Not surprising, I...

Hehe. Finished it two nights ago. Awaiting further orders, sir! -Ryan

Is Skies of Arcadia any good? What's it like? Is that the one that's based on a card game, or am I thinking of something else? I implicitly trust the opinion of a man with a Kevin Smith avatar. Seriously, though, I need a good RPG. I bought Evolution: Worlds but it's really not very good...

And posting at the same time? Wow. I set myself up for that one, didn't I?

I don't know my list, but I wanted to give a m4d shout out to a fellow python user. Yo. Heh :) -Ryan

Wouldn't surprise me. I know that my local store (whose name starts with "Game" and ends with "Stop") is the paragon of inefficiency. Amusing story: I went there to pick my pre-ordered copy of Metroid Prime. The clerk goes in the storeroom to get it, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that...

Thanks. I was in the area last night so I stopped by the store and inquired. According to the clerk, they had some bonus discs, but there's a shortage and I may not get one until sometime after the actual game is released (the unspoken additional words "if ever, hahahahah" hung in the air :)...

Hey, I preordered it as well... except I preordered from the store at the mall rather than an internet vendor. Do you dudes know if I can pick up the bonus disc early, or do I have to wait for the game to be released? I really don't want to miss out on the bonus disc, because I didn't own a...

Since I've bashed Jordan enough, I'll take this opportunity to say that I, too, thought Goodkind was complete crap. I couldn't force myself to read more than a few chapters of The Stone of Tears or whatever it's called. -Ryan

Jem (and the Holograms). Beverly Hills Teens. How did I turn out heterosexual? -Ryan
