Huckabee theoretically could win the nomination, but he'd have to win something like 80% of the remaining vote. He hasn't been able to do in any of the states he's won. I don't know if McCain would take someone just to make the "Religious Right&...  [Read More]

Look like Obama is on track for a sweep this weekend. I'm willing to bet that he'll sweep again on Tuesday. HRC might be able to take back some ground in March, but between pumping $5 million personal dollars into her campaign and firing her campaign...  [Read More]

If you'd prefer to split hairs <snip> Considering the endorsement that you gave TSL (who's characters were equally developed if not less so), I can only conclude that you're applying some sort of double standard or are bashing NWN2 because you...  [Read More]

When it comes to NWN2's OC... I think it's fair to say that the developers themselves glossed over much of the potential depth of the characters when they made the game what it was. They could've made a great deal more out of the more interesting asp...  [Read More]

@ Achilles: Considering the games you played it rather surprises me that you label NWN2 as the RPG with the most nuanced story, depth of characters and so on.. How does it compare to Kotor and TSL in those areas?Well, TSL and NWN2 both came from the...  [Read More]
