Free things are funz. Foos for actually paying for Ascension, although DS is a Jew so I guess it doesn't matter. A drop in the ocean.
Something has been wrong with me the past year. The older I get, the more I find myself paying for music and books. I don't understand what's happening.

yeah, same here almost... how can i get it for free though?

Your Jew-ness is fading like The Situation's fake tan?

Spoiler:
You neglected to mention Vol pimpsmacking the shit out of Abeloth in their psychic battle.

[B]As gameplay, animation, and voice-acting go, I know the 7th Gen Fallout games to be superior to KotOR---though not in terms of story/character development. Ehh... story's close for New Vegas.

Meh... Fallout is such a diffrent game to KotOR it's too hard to compare. I've never liked Fallput so KotOR was vastly superior IMO. I also can't judge New Vegas's story as I quit that game within 30 minutes. Yeah, I loathe those games. The world is to bland for me (especially NV) just desert and more desert. I am also not a fan on combat manily because VATS is just boring. However, I love the Elder Scrolls games...

And I have it on good authority that Mass Effect and Dragon Age beat out KotOR in all those arenas. Though I personally didn't care too much for ME (couldn't get in to it) and haven't played Dragon Age--I've been exposed to enough of each to see their quality.

ME yes. Honestly, both MEs were phenominal games. In fact, ME2 is my favorite game of this gen. However, both DAs just aren't that great. The first one has the most cliched story of all time and the combat is archaic yet it manges to still be fun. DA 2's story and characters are amazing but the maps are always repeated and the combat it rather weak. So, IMO, KotOR beats both of these out.

I found a torrent for it, but I'm sure you could just google it and find the pdf or ebook format. Like I literally just typed "star wars Ascension download." The torrent I used had the ebook format as well as the pdf, so I'm just reading it on my Kindle.

eh, i just ordered it for like 3 bucks cause I had some Amazon credit left... maybe i'm a sucker, but I like holding the book... also works well for sourcing things, on here... though I rarely do that. I've got 29 more posts till 7777. I might make that my last post.

You people all have way more posts than me. I'm at like 5700 something.

You did not ask and I think it became irrelevant when she carried his head around like a souvenir.

I don't think my graphics card can handle Skyrim. But I pray it does. I can't wait till 11-11-11.

The planet exploration and bases are very repetitive in ME. I only do them for the experience, but it gets really boring. The main missions are where it's at. I haven't finished the game yet though and I have ME2 already downloaded and ready to go lol. Haven't brought myself to finish it.

Honestly, the main story of DA😮 is in the backseat of the entire game until after the Landsmeet. It was a phenomenal game and way better than DA:2. And the combat in DA😮 was a lesser version of Baldur's Gate combat system, which was fantastic, so it was good IMO.

I now ship Bestara! <3

Yeah. Planet exploration is shit... Which is why I didn't do it.

ME 2, however, makes even the first ME look terrible in comparison.

Which is one of the reasons why I felt DA😮 story is, well, not great. And the combat was litteraly the same as Neverwinter Nights and Bauldur's Gate which is why I called it "archaic" not saying it's bad or anything as it was fun. DA II's story, however, was phenominal and unique. Sure the combat may not have been good but I play RPGs for the story any way so I actually preferred the second one.

The story of DA😮 pales in comparison to The Witcher.

Really, huh, I should really finish ME then.

Yeah, I wished the Landsmeet took place earlier, with one more major story arc/quest before the final levels.

And DA😮 was supposed to be the "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate. Those elements were what kept me into the game. I would say it was on par with the first BG. But Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn destroys both DA😮 and DA:II, and not to mention, is better than probably any other RPG that followed.

The way I see, Baldur's Gate:II is probably the best all-round game. But Planescape Torment has an incredible story, one of the best I have ever seen. If you want an RPG with a story, play PT ASAP.

I'm waiting for Neb to show up and put out over Xenosaga.

Where's he been?

Indeed. Philalawyer has a pretty badass grasp on economics. I did not say I necessarily agreed but the logic is sound.

Recently spotted in the music section 25 mins ago. Fighting the good fight for Xenogears' music.

My parents have just expressed firm support for Michelle Bachmann... ugh. Of course, they haven't discovered Rick Perry. When they do, I have no doubt they will jump ship for him.

How any of that squares with their desire for taxes to be raised (the concept of revenue vs rates escapes them) is beyond me.

Of course they also didn't want use to raise the debt ceiling. Although I don't really blame them for that. Saying "raising the debt ceiling" is not a politically easy phrase. It just sounds bad to the average person.
