Quote
I don't think there's much else I could say that would interest you right now, so -

The official Release Date for Torchlight II is Thursday, September 20th, 2012.

3 weeks away!

We'll announce it 'more' officially and bigger tomorrow.

You know first!

Thank all of you for being an awesome and patient community

Well it is still technically a summer release. (First day of fall is the 22nd of September) Nothing like cutting it as close as possible haha.  Oh well I can't wait!

Actually, Zacky, my laptop can run it better than it does DDO.  Granted, it pretty much runs at bare bones graphics settings, which it automatically detects and sets for you (that's how you do convenience RIGHT), but it works right out of the box, as promised, and it works well.

For the record, here's the basic get-up I'm workin with:

* AMD E-350 Processor (2x core) 1.6 GHz
* 4 GB of RAM
* Windows 7 (64-bit OEM)
* AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics

I got it for...around 400 bones.  I've had Minecraft maps that run slower than Guild Wars 2.

Holy fuck, seriously? I thought there was no way my laptop could handle it, as jumpy as it can be with rendering distances in Minecraft above Normal. I've got less RAM but 2.3 GHz, so maybe there's hope.

Dude, if you got Guild Wars 2, I think I'd have to ask for that for my birthday.  As it is, I's just usin Ka's account because convenience, lol.

I love Fallout and the Elder Scrolls.  I don't mind or complain about the changes.
I feel Fallout has done nothing but improve. 
I think Elder Scrolls should steal from Fallout by adding more possible outcomes/paths for the game.  And I'd like spears separating bracers and tops and bottoms and to add back some of the magic they took away, again as it was in Morrowind but those are very minor things.
I'd also like more racial, gender importance, even if it's just once quest/faction you could only do/join if you meet the requirement.  That and cleaning up NPC scripts a little on races, when you play as none Nords in Skyrim there are people who you can ask about your own race.

And add brothels or prostitutes to inns/taverns that give the married well rested bonus for a price. 

Both series are awesome though.  And I have high hopes for future games and I do not feel I'll be let down.
I feel most problems are to avoid glitches or because the technology isn't there yet to get it to the standard they want.

I love Fallout and Elder Scrolls as well. I really love Oblivion and Skyrim. Morrowind is great as well though I couldn't get into it as much as I could with those two. My characters are ALWAYS Argonians. I find their reptilian appearance really cool.

I have a large taste in video games actually. I've been playing them for as long as I can remember. Have owned many systems like the SNES, PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and others. I primary use a PlayStation 3 nowadays (my PSN gamertag is Geoff-uk123 for anyone curious, tell me you're from FSTDT and I'll add you) and mainly play games like Fallout 3, Oblivion, Skyrim, Saints Row 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 and LittleBigPlanet. I am as you probably noticed by now that I'm a fan of open-world sandbox games, especially Grand Theft Auto whose fifth instalment I am currently anticipating. It looks just like San Andreas reborn (arguably one of the best games in the series).

I think more mature-rated RPGs need more prostitutes in general.  If its set in a medieval setting, guess what?  Prostitution was fucking rampant, back then.  It adds an extra level of realism, and nothing attracts players more than NPCs they can stick their dicks into, or who can stick their dicks into them.

It exists in the Fallout world but even then, it's very tame compared to what it would be.
And while I'm not saying it should reflect how it would be in real life or have a lot of detail included in it, I'm fine with the screen going black for X#  of game hours, but it is something I feel should be included.

I only now remember about this one and find out that it's shutting down.

A shame too, out of the three games, this one seemed like it had it's shit together best.

Just...why?  What's wrong with NCSoft?  First, they kill off Tabula Rasa right as it was hitting its stride (and, from what I hear, screwing Lord British out of a dickload of money), now they kill off City of Heroes?  I mean, I've never played it...subscription-based games are something of a gaming turn-off, but that always seemed like one of their biggest money-makers, aside from perhaps Guild Wars.

Guild Wars 1 is next.

I have the stamina of the Thunder God.

But I was talking about video game hours and saying I'm fine with how Fallout does it.
But my character in Elder Scrolls also has the stamina of a God, or at least of Daedric Prince, Sheogorath.
