    Make me laugh

    A true story. I am a medical student and was once on a ward round on with just a consultant. We came to the bed of Mr 'Smith' and the consultant says, "OK Charles! This is Mr Smith. I want you to examine his eyes and tell me your findings, oh, and Mr Smith - don't tell him what it is, as I want...

    I am Troubled (in places) by the Dragon Age 2 Story

    Ah! I never considered it being Anders! That would fill the gap! Of course, it doesn't quite fit when he's being referred to as 'The Warden' alongside 'The Champion'. Though this may be me reading too deep into a throw-away cinematic.

    I feel your pain here! It's the very reason I had to double check it was her after the game! Impersonality aside, to be improperly referenced given the save-game! Say it ain't so Leliana!

    Ah Alistair! I've heard of troubles with his flagging, but my washed-up drunk was exceptional! I rather liked that touch, and the Bann Teagan?s 'retrieval' was especially well done! The mind boggles at the possibilities for future games given that I can't see an outcome where he's killed!

    I am Troubled (in places) by the Dragon Age 2 Story

    Whilst possible, Radeonx, I think it's very unlikely. I'm anal to the point of predictable, my ME, ME2, DA and.... sigh.... Oblivion saves get backed up religiously. I refused to start the game till I had an acknowledgement that it had successfully uploaded he old save! Again, I will stand...

    I am Troubled (in places) by the Dragon Age 2 Story

    Now that's a far more succinct way of putting it! That's one of my gripes exactly!

    I am Troubled (in places) by the Dragon Age 2 Story

    Sorry BloatedGuppy, I'll clarify my post. In my DA:O game, my Warden died. He certainly did not disappear, that fine Cousland! The problem for me was the throw-away Leliana line regarding the 'missing' Warden. I believe the Warden in that case is the one from Awakening. It just stings a little...

    I am Troubled (in places) by the Dragon Age 2 Story

    Ha! But to point - I agree with you regarding the reasoning for Orsino's actions... I just fear from my reading of other people's endings that there is no choice regarding the 'Final Straw' fights and if that is the case, the ending seems a tad contrived... Obviously, there is a degree of...

    An interesting point el_kabong! I can see the problems of limitation having their own impact, but couldn?t that have been tweaked as well. If there was a second story teller say 'Otherguy' of the Kirkwall Shaperate/Chronicle Keepers... whatever, couldn't there be enough scope for wiggle room...

    I am Troubled (in places) by the Dragon Age 2 Story

    Before I begin, massive SPOILER warning. Additionally, I intend no particular complaint against the game itself - as a standalone the writing is exceptional, the game polished and the few flaws seemingly in-keeping with a modern triple A game.... I'm looking at you Black Ops. Today I...

    Sympathy for the Devil

    The General in Gunman Chronicles..... at the start the player character really, really screws him over.... kind of reasonable that he's pissed thereafter.

    Advocacy Group Angry That Moms Hate Dead Space 2

    I just wasn't a fan of the adverts as a whole. I am 23 years old and all I could think of was that it just made the entire thing seem a little childish... and that's not something I want in my Dead Space 2! I like my awesome, violent, sci-fi scare fests childishness-free! I also found myself...

    Poll: ...If You Could Drive ONE Pest to Extinction (WITHOUT ANY ECOLOGICAL RAMIFICATIONS)...

    Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You crazy so and so! Can't I just wipe out the those damned dirty mosquitos without the noble, hard working, charismatic bee? Not only do those awesome yellow and black chaps produce honey, they are known to make you appear more attractive and are a ready source of ninjas...

    Finding a Tabletop Group

    OK, I've posted before about my attempts to get into Dungeons and Dragons, but all technicalities aside, how on earth do you find a group?! I'm a student, but I'm actually based far out in the sticks, away from any real student population and I've been desperate to find group! I've tried...

    Escape to the Movies: Dungeons & Dragons

    Funny you should mention the Tom Hanks film.... I am a medical student at a UK University and one of the MCQs that has recurred in the 'Progress Test' (a twice yearly adventure that is taken by every year of the course as a mark of increasing experience/knowledge/ability/whatever) regards the...
