I'm really impressed by the art in the 5e materials so far. That thing looks vicious! A big improvement to its 4e cousin. [http://castlesandcooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Stephen-Crowe-Manticore.jpg]

I don't know what you're talking about, if smoke can be used to resuscitate drowning victims [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoke_enema], surely other healing properties are simply waiting to be discovered. I'm sure this was the angle the devs had in mind too.

THAC0: 1. The attacker rolls and adds modifiers. 2. The attacker subtracts the modified roll from their THAC0. 3. The result is compared to the defender's AC. A player rolls 12 with a +2 modifier to attack an enemy with AC 5. The player's THAC0 is 16. The player's attack will hit an...

Some more gems that haven't been mentioned yet: Arx Fatalis - Dark and oppressive dungeoncrawly goodness. Jet Set Radio Future - The best game on the system in my humble opinion. Unique and fun. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 - Among the finest cRPGs in existence, but better...

Simon's glorious ARSE mines are a dead giveaway. It's Magicka. Here's my random combination of two gems from the 90's:

The little cynic in me wonders how many people actually knew who voiced Garrett before they realized the actor had changed. It's been a while since I've last replayed the Thief games, but the soft gravely voiced Garrett here doesn't seem all that different from before... The new teaser seems...

So you're saying that a service that you pay money for gives you free stuff in return? Hm... I can't put my finger on it, but it feels like there might be a slight flaw in that bit of logic.

I suppose one of the more memorable ones is the scene from Kotor 2 where Kreia confronts the Exile in the Jedi Enclave. I realize that it's just an eight minute monologue, but it's also one of the best examples why Kreia absolutely defines the game for me. I'm actually kinda partial to the...

Mine is pretty random. It's cougar-headed Slash drinking tea with the rising sun flag in the background. I wanted to make an avatar featuring a cougar and a cup of tea.

Pretty much anything that's not super hectic and forces me to think a bit. I think there are interesting stories and themes to be found in any setting, so pretty much anything goes, but I generally prefer humor and rich colors to brooding and grit. My all-time favorites are mostly...

Correct on both accounts.

That's Civ5: Gods & Kings. I wish the original statue looked a bit more like that. Your David seems quite pleased with himself.

Well he certainly had me fooled. I'm not sufficiently high-brow to not find that fun. I can also appreciate the marketing shenanigans of trying to sell a perfectly ordinary-looking hatchback with lines like: 'turn your tail to common sense' or 'not authority, but Auris'.
