Who cares? If you don't like the 4th edition rules, play the rules you do like. Make up your own rules, if you like. That's what RPG's are about: your own creativity. The rules are just there to provide some kind of agreed-upon structure....  [Read More]

What's the big deal? Just because Israel trains for contingencies does not mean they will actually bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. The US trained on how to attack the Soviet Union, but we never did. We train on various scenarios, with the hope that w...  [Read More]

I don't think Christensen is whiny; I think he needs to stop putting so much emotion in all his lines. He could have delivered a more powerful performance if he had used his body language and facial expressions to convey some of the meaning he tried...  [Read More]

Ian McDiarmaid did a perfect job of keeping his performance understated, except for the two scenes when he used force lightning. I really hated the way he shouted "Ultimate Power!" while attacking Mace Windu, but that probably was the direc...  [Read More]

Jae got me into Guild Wars, and I have to say it's the most gaming fun I have had since KotOR. While the game itself is great, what really makes it stand out is the guild I got into. Jae, Rogue Nine, Stoffe, Inyri, and I are all in the same guild, an...  [Read More]

NWN is a great game. The graphics are dated, but the story is wonderful. There is a huge spoiler if you play NWN2 first, but it is even better. Great story, great graphics, and improved game mechanics. If you have tons of time, do NWN first, then go...  [Read More]
