It seems like they wanted to go with an adventure into 'darkest africa' like the old H Rider Haggard novels, but due to the obvious unfortunate implications of using such a setting these days have gone for a weird mix of ancient egypt and grecean mythology set in the jungle, well there's a...

Norweigan Wood is about the only one, it's bleakly depressing and uplifting all in one. I loved every bit of it though, really need to pick up more of Haruki Murakami. Though I've read that his other work is quite a bit different to NW and that he was a bit baffled by its sucess.

I'm a little worried about the combined map, I hope they optimize it properly. The first game chugs along just fine on my laptop but I would rather not have to spend 2+ minutes every turn watching all the factions and subfactions they've added scroll by. I think though it'll probably be...

I'm kind of reminded of a something like Ex Machina or Cube when I think of a Portal movie. Hell...Cube 2: Hypercube was basically a Portal movie: <youtube=2m1aCPB_Ni8> But I think something good can be made of it, probably won't, but I'd have more faith in a Portal adaptation than I did...

I wonder whose idea this was? It seems like a neat thing, but something feels off... <YouTube=AyenRCJ_4Ww> I'll still use it probably, GOG's offline mode is much less restrictive than Steam. I can see the potential for buying a game when it's cheaper on Steam and when possible transferring...

I wanted more of the Kirin Tor. I really didn't get Khadgar's issues with them, those guys were fun. Also Medivh = Evil Jesus, what is seen can not be unseen!

It's not the worst movie I've ever seen. But it was bad, the only thing that saved it were the many unintentionally funny moments. It is a very nice looking film in parts, but the world somehow ends up feeling very small. The movie is around 2hrs and bizzarely feels rushed and overlong all at...

The commemorative edition Necronomicon is a good buy. It's sort of a greatest hits collection of his more well known works, it's quite gorgeously produced too, hardback with a leather and gold inlay effect. Pretty cheap these days, even secondhand most are excellent quality. If you find you...

I loved his art for New Frontier, he was one of those comic artists you could tell with just a glance at a single panel. <YouTube=5jRENcSFJU4>

I was wondering if it was going to be hexes again, which it seems likely given the screenshots, but...why? It's a throwback to Civ's boardgame roots, would allowing turn and point based free movement make it less civ-like? I'm imagining something akin to how the strategic map works in the total...

They kind of did that in Beyond Earth, as far as the events went or when constructing a building you would get a prompt with two or three options that would give you certain permanent bonuses or extra resources etc. Though, a lot of the choices ended up being more beneficial than others and...

Is that Gerard Butler doing the voice over? Please no...if you want a Scottish actor to read out the tech tree go with Peter Capaldi. When I think grand history of civilisation I do not think 'vaguely cockney', amusing as it would be for someone like Michael Caine to narrate mind you... Edit...

Those descriptions don't sound particularly appealing. Hocking up fireballs? Snorting bubbles? Litten's expression matches my own. I like Rowlet personally, hoping he evolves into some kind of large hawk or barn owl. :3

Don't see why it has to be alternate history, it's not really a well explored era in games anyway, much less on the involvement of black soldiers during WW1 which the poster seems to imply. And there were plenty, although initially many commanders didn't like having soldiers of color fighting...

I know it's against the terms of Blizzard's TOS, but it's only technically illegal in the sense that they broke a user agreement, I don't think many courts would even bother nor would Blizzard go to the trouble of calling the police. It would depend on the severity of the accusation, do Blizzard...
