I mean, I never found D2 or WoW's storylines that interesting. Really SC/BW was the only one I did, and still, thought was a well written story. Some of the dialogue is clunky, but what do you want? Its a video game where the story is there to get you immersed into the gameplay (which, I think we can admit, was awesome). On top of that, elaborate cutscenes like in D3 are hardly memorable, rarely convey information, and according to what I've heard are expensive even now. | ||

Three crewmembers bravely gave their lives, first Elizabeth, then Rockwell, then noble Captain Lysos (who also achieved most evasions piloted in the process, with 288). That's epic. FTL too good, I nearly went mad beating the game on hard with every ship and every ship variant. Some of them were really terrible if you didn't get lucky, a few others (like the fed cruiser alternate) were amazing. That said boarding crew strategies in general gave you the highest odds of victory and the highest score and if you had a boarding crew and a healing bomb you could auto-win vs anything but the robot scouts. | ||

I thought braid was really well written. one of the few games where I looked up more information on the story after I played the game. The gameplay was awesome but the story is what really intrigued me. It also has a bomb.com soundtrack. | ||

What's amusing is that surprisingly no one reported Req, so that means Nyvone came across the posts himself. Correct, I was first wave. And as it happens, I actually browse all the forums on a periodic basis and scan the active topics. Plus I end up in every forum through the reports and as you currectly surmised I always browse a couple of pages before and after a reported post and filter the involved parties posts. Reports turn up alot more shit then just the reported if you have the eyes to see it. On the 2nd most bans: + Show Spoiler [Leaderboard] + Mod Total 2 day 1 week 2 week 30 day 90 day Perms Unknown With over 3k atm I'm secure on the throne, even though Kadaver is steaming up ban river on a tidalwave of 2 days.

Supposedly one can recite his name three times to summon him to unleash the titan's wrath. Or something like that. Once is enough, if you manage to spell it correctly  . | ||

I bet I just defeat it and don't have to fight it's 2nd and 3rd forms! =D". ... Good thing I still had my burst laser II from the very start installed. | ||
