Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    "Patrick Kulikowski Says:

    @Quarex: You’re speaking from the perspective of someone who grew up with and preferred Wasteland’s universe to Fallout’s. Correct, I have never played Wasteland (I hope to someday), but I am speaking as one who started with Fallout and was more familiar and enamored with that universe. Fallout being the literal aftermath of Brian Fargo’s inability to claim rights to the original Wasteland setting doesn’t sully Fallout for me, personally. Wasteland 2′s details and setting will no doubt initially appeal to you more than it will to me, even though I am still looking forward to it immensely."

    Troll is actually used as a verb. Mostly as 'looking for' or 'hunting'

    3.
    to fish for or in with a moving line, working the line up or down with a rod, as in fishing for pike, or trailing the line behind a slow-moving boat.
    4.
    to move (the line or bait) in doing this.

    Right, because isometric was the sticking point for PC games. Get past that and voila!

    Diablo 3 is successful because it is a trend. Not because it is isometric.

    We all knew this day was coming, gaming journalists have officially dropped 2 spots on the world IQ rankings:

    Old:
    Insects
    >Gaming journos
    Plants
    Loaves of bread
    Rocks
    FretRider

    New:
    Insects
    Plants
    Loaves of bread
    >Gaming journos
    Rocks
    FretRider

    And it's by no means a clear-cut case, rocks are ahead in several categories.

    - Are you implying that gaming journalist were living, thinking things at one point? I mean, you put them above plants and rocks but just below insects. I thought they were just automated programs of shit like gaudaost.
