Yay, I beat Avadon: The Black Fortress. Went the loyalist route with a blademaster, so next time I play it, I'm going to opt for a traitor shaman or sorceress.

Now it's time to start working on either Avernum or Geneforge. I fucking love Spiderweb Software's games.

I did expect it. I thought I pointed that out. What I didn't expect was the amount.

Had something similar happen when I played Still Life. So many dead, gory boobs in that game.

So I played the demo for the original Painkiller after hearing some good reviews about it.  Some of the parts were kind of confusing, like one flying enemy who took me a while to figure out how to kill.  Overall though was very fun, and am downloading the full version through Steam as I type this.  Can't wait to play.  Especially since it has a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning!

I misread that as Still Alive. XD Is Still Life good?

It's an interesting story. I enjoyed it for the most part, but there were some downsides. It was a bit cheesy at times (not to mention the gratuitous boobs) and the walking back and forth got redundant after a while. Plus, I would have liked to have had more control over the outcome. It felt more like interactive fiction, where you had to solve puzzles to advance the plot, as is typical of these sorts of point and click adventures.

One thing to keep in mind: The ending of the first game leaves a large chunk of the details unresolved, including one rather important plot point, forcing you to buy the second one if you want closure.

I haven't really had a chance to play Still Life 2 thanks to my computer being a piece of crap and refusing to run it properly.

Random, unrelated side-note: The voice acting in Dead Mountaineer's Hotel SUCKS. One character sounds like he's reading off a list of grocery items or something -- it has that same monotone and weird inflection you get when the teacher makes 5th graders take turns reading aloud from a book -- while another constantly sounds like he's angry or sarcastic, even when he's supposed to be acting friendly or soothing. It makes him (the alleged hero of the game) come across as a dick.

I was playing my Pokemon SS game again, and I found out my Clefable, Cuddles has enough EV to get the Effort Ribbon.  Now I just need to finish off his moveset (including giving him Frustration), p*** him off, and send him into the Battle Hall.  I'm not counting on him doing well, but it'll be fun to try.

Isn't it easier to use Return instead? Since, well, it's easier to raise Happiness than to lower it. But if you insists, feed the thing a lot of Herbs and try . Also, if you have 2 DS/have a friend, trading resets Happiness back to its default level (around 70), so you could try that. Here's a more detailed FAQ about Happiness if you want more info.
Ok seriously, is nobody even going to try and avenge my man-burrito?

Trust me, the Tunnelers in Lonesome Road are arguably WORSE.

They're introduced by a Deathclaw being easily killed by one!

oh it's a point and click. I haven't played one in a long time.

Don't have the DLC so I'm not worried bout them and also....that Deathclaw was suffering from Radiation sickness so it was weaker.

Couldn't find a video on YouTube, have the Xbox 360 version (so no console usage to spawn a Tunneler and Legendary Deathclaw in the same location), and even if you could use the developer's console in the 360 version, my 360 controllers have stopped working, even with the batteries changed. But, really, Tunnellers are mainly dangerous because they come in swarms, whereas Deathclaws hit like trucks. It's really a matter of if you're better with crowd control (read: explosives) or killing a single enemy quickly.

Riot Shotguns also work wonders.

But, my fiancee's trying to talk me into doing a Torchlight 2 Give away, anyone else here interested in the game?
