Interesting. I'd rather see a continuation of The Longest Journey, though. I want my Dreamfall sequel, blast it!

Man, I keep forgetting to get the expansion packs (or DLC or whatever you want to call them). I missed both their releases somehow and still haven't got Mass Effect's DLC either. Just got to find a free evening this week, I guess. Should b...

Holy sh-..., SIMLO speaks. You too have my utmost respect and appreciation for all you've done. Keep it groovy, whatever your future may hold.

I'm just guessing, of course, but that command by itself is no good. Going on previous experience, there's no way they coded the database dynamically, so not only will you need the /copychar command re-enabled, you'll also need the destina...

This contest wasn't put together very well. In almost all cases the first round pitted a well-known studio against someone I've never heard of. And the well-known studio won, funnily enough (except SOE, heh). I was rather amused that Valve...

People are still waiting for the letter? It may yet appear, but it's not worth waiting for... it'll materialise when it materialises. I guess the game is stuck like this now, and the letter will confirm this, but at $15 a month, well... th...

I don't see a problem. Firstly, the two cinematics (Carlyne in front of his screen, and Carlyne's android body being shown to Merv) were drawn by different people, and Rare's style in particular can be a bit... confusing. Secondly, the and...

I'm hesitant to take any of that too seriously, as it starts by saying Rarebit was laid off. Where did they get that from? All signs we've seen are that he quit. That's a pretty significant difference given the subject of the article. Edit...

Applications engineer at a telecomms company. Currently it's mostly developing GUIs and testing firmware.

The biggest theories going around at the moment are indeed that it's a) Richard, or b) some Egyptian god or other. I'm leaning towards the latter, as although there's clearly something special about Richard, he tends to defer to people lik...

Cheers Sykin. Keep it real.

What's the problem, Odj? Croesis and I are asking for different things. I thought that was obvious.

No, it doesn't. You're not doing what Rarebit's done, nor in the right quantity.

You can throw up countless examples of better art. I'm not looking for a better example of mapping, a better texture, a better model, a better script, a better anything. I want to see someone do all the numerous different things Rarebit's...

There's no way I'm writing off the Oligarch story. I think it's great. I've never been a fan of the war because it should have ended long ago with the obliteration of old Zion and a permanent blockade around New Zion. I know this is all fi...

Nah, I think some of those elements are too generic to be counted, and some are a bit of a stretch. The D'ni ages are a far cry from mere time periods.

Loved the last episode, lots of Cerberus and island's-ancient-civilisation stuff. Couldn't believe it when the scene cut to a ruined temple suddenly like that, presumably with one of the few (almost) structurally intact 'Cerberus vents' le...

... Speechless.

All the good stuff is Downtown, in the northern neighbourhoods.

This is one I certainly won't be seeing. The thought of a quarter-gram of anti-matter actually being feasible makes me want to hit something. Preferably something about Dan Brown's person.

Thank you for all your work on this, Vogt. I was only there at the start, but the few battles in which I managed to participate will be fondly remembered. Could you send me the files as well? I'll PM you my e-mail address. I won't host the...

Thankfully, Rare's just explained the Mauser issue. It was a fault on his part. http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...578#36300540779 Given that it was a genuine error, I'm willing to accept an explanation that didn't involve jacks. Whethe...

You probably won't answer this, but did Rarebit's decision take you by surprise like it did us? Or did he tell you a while ago? Employment contracts and all that.

If there's a final battle going down, sign me up (depending on the time, of course). My skills will be rusty as anything, but I'll do my best for one last shot at victory!

Wait, what?! Is Heroes on telly again? It may be annoying me somewhat, but TV is TV, so I'm off to look for it!

I don't see the story continuing in any meaningful way. It would be nice, but there's no way you'd even get the majority of players to follow a central player-run story. Far more likely, I think, is a series of inter-faction stories and ev...

Excellent stuff! Finally, after an on-off and mostly silly season of Heroes, we can get back to some decent sci-fi drama. I'm excited by the fact that Ben really doesn't seem to be comfortable with any of this; he's not in control any more...

Woo! Nice one, Draggywagswaggerman.
