Mine was definitely set in Act 1: Carver was there and specifically mentions hoping to find treasure in order to make the, erm, OTHER Deep Roads trip unnecessary.
Okay, so I’ll give them credit for this then; the dialogue you hear is tailored to whatever point in the game you’re at (up to Act 3 I...

Mostly agreed, but I’m not sure it sets out the Chantry was really right; the guy mentioned the city was black /when they got there./ That it was supposed to be gold; maybe mages DIDN’T taint it. Maybe it was never holy?
I always got the impression that the city was tainted by the very fact they entered it in the first...

We-ee-ee-ell. Finished DA2: Legacy...
(Damn you cut, work!)
Not my least favourite DLC but it was pretty much what I expected in the, “… meh” department; trying to please DA:O fansbois with a tedious high fantasy sort of plot (MAKER FORBID WE HAVE A DA GAME WITHOUT WARDENS!) and a heavy focus on tactical combat. I’m sure people who like tactical combat… probably still won’t like this, but I...

Why Not Tumblr | Smarterware →
This is pretty much why I only use Tumblr for “disposable” content, like links and quotes and brainfarts, and keep my substantive content locked up on my blog (and, by extension, my own servers and databases).

I can’t stand Hitchens’ writing, which I know puts me in the (very tiny) minority. But he does occasionally bury a good lead in the morass of prosaic verbiage.

Whenever I complain about how females are portrayed in mainstream superhero comics, inevitably half a dozen people pop up to tell me this:
“Men are idealized in comics, too.”
Yes. Yes they are. I am aware of this. While I think the idealism is harmful, that isn’t actually what I have a problem…

I had a friend recently send me this amazing Youtube clip. Aside from it just being a bit confusing without any context it’s simply amazing to realize that “bullet time fanservice” is now a real thing o.0
I’ve posted the gif of the chick’s super-breasts dodging the bullet before, but this whole clip is gold.

hey, i’m waiting for them to finally make a game like Sucker Punch. the movie was trash, but u gotta admit, that would’ve been a BADASS game.
I actually have zero interest in Sucker Punch, so I can neither agree nor disagree. ^^;

Playable from any point? So, like… does it change the time it’s set in? Or is it so completely separate it doesn’t matter? I was hoping that, in a game whose entire story is divided chronologically, that this would have an obvious point in time in which it occurs.
