I LP'd Primordia too actually :P Yeah, I loved it as well. I'm also in close contact with one of the Primordia dudes, and know that he should be revealing a new game soon, and a cool one at that, albeit completely different from Primordia.

I'll definitely check it if I find it somewhere. Potocki's been on my 'to read' list for a while now, particularly The Manuscript Found in Saragossa, which is considered one of the classics of Polish lit. I even have that one somewhere around, but its sheer volume always scares me.

I've never cared much for AtG, but I'll check it later. Torment looks majestic, yes ;_; I haven't backed it during the kickstarter because I was sceptical, but I believe I'll back it now, since it's still possible to do that on their site. That vid was just great. Also, Wasteland 2 is out and it's p. cool, although it takes a while to show all its pros. Es also reassuring concerning Torment (even though the two teams share almost no devs whatsoever).

Yo, sorry for not replying so long, but lots of stuff (tm) has been happening recently. That Bolzer sounds p. promising, I especially dig the lead riff on the 2nd track - although I have to laugh at the almost stereotypically awful production (y) As for nu-UW, I'll believe it when I see it (and if it's a better successor than Arx was). And while on the subject, I wholeheartedly recommend Divinity: Original Sin. You'll love this if you liked Ultimas (which you did iirc?). Also, feels gud to be a hobo with a degree ;_;

I remember watching Malcolm on TV like 10 years ago. That show was pretty funny. And pretty crazy. Also, if you liked the original UFO: Enemy Unknown, I wholeheartedly recommend Xenonauts. In theory it's still early access, but it's already a perfectly playable v1.0 (even though it loves to crash). It's like a 1:1 clone of EU, but with actual improvements instead of changes for the sake of changes.

Ya, they played a bunch of them, some 4 or 5 iirc. They sounded pretty cool, so the new album could be very much alright (and whatever happens, it can't be worse than Sitra Ahra, lolololo). Torment might potentially be great, but there are two things that make me wary: way, WAY too many "additional writers" (tm), and the downright abysmal Numenera ruleset - I sure hope they stray as far as possible from that thing and keep only the okay setting itself.

A bro of mine played Pignesia and said that it was really, really horrible. Like, essentially it's a corridor with only the bare minimum of spooks and stuff, they completely didn't get what made the original Amnesia good. No idea about Dear Esther, but considering that most opinions I've read (both positive and negative) about AMFP said it's "almost exactly like Dear Esther", I doubt it's worth bothering either (y)

Lul, yeah, I know. There were also some funky mods for civ4 that added Lech Wałęsa ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=167820&d=1200709382 ) among other things. Civ's coolio, but I couldn't get into V. I only played the demo back when it was released, and it just seemed to me like there was no reason to play it over IV.

So I smack down the meteor of Akbaa, return to Arx Castle, WHEN SUDDENLY, YLSIDE RAPE. FFFFUUUUUUU. Had to resort to abusing some AI bug I found that made them sheathe their swords and just run around me harmlessly, lol, no chance whatsoever to take on them fair and square. But es K, I kill all of them and decide to go deeper down the levels... o hey sum dwarven ruins, wonder what happened here- BLACK BEAST APPEARS, FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Dis game. So gud ;_;

Are the 'other' monsters supposed to be Ylsides? I met exactly one for a very brief time after dropping some random force field on level... 4, I think. Got my ass handed to me so hard it wasn't even funny :( And I didn't get to the 'last' lich in Poxellis's tomb. After I got bumrushed after snatching the helmet from the tomb I had to reload because jesus christ, so much rape O_o I can tell a mage playthrough should be p. friggin hilarious with the constant screwing up of rune drawing :D

I've just found Krahoz. Playing a fighter/thief kind of bloke, with strength/dexterity and high combat/object knowledge/manipulation and decent stealth, pretty much totally ditching magix/constitution. Also: liches are annoying as sheeeeeeet. Especially when you get bumrushed by 4 of them just as you've plundered king Poxellis's tomb :(

Actually, fixed crashing problems already. All it took was setting compatibility to win98. That's a lot of bug fixes in them patches, I should prob apply it, although I'm not sure if it won't screw up my save games 'cuz patches tend to be wacky like that. And I'd hate to have my save games be made non-functional now that I'm p. far in (I think). Game is really damn good, btw. I love all the environmental reactivity, using everything on everything. Now if only those goddamned runes weren't so hard to draw :(

Not following the thing that closely, but holy cow was that an impressive first days rush. It pretty much reached funding lightning speed at the start. And yeah, still taking them arabic classes, and to be perfectly honest, the way they are conducted is hilariezly bad, and it's progressively getting worse as well (y) And I've still got 1.5 year of them left, so... well, I've been trying real hard to take something out of them on my own, especially this year, but I believe it would simply be healthier to just give up and roll through towards the end while fully focusing on more worthwhile stuff.

I'm seriously sceptical about that Torment thing, though. To be honest, I'd rather first see the effects of Wasteland 2, and I bet many people would as well. also thanks for reminding me I should finally check Arx l0l. Is it better or worse than UW? I played UW like a year or two ago, and it was alright until I ragequit on fire elemental bumrush on one of the lowest levels.

I know, right. This along with Wasteland 2 and some other stuff that is on the horizon might actually bring a truckload of quality shit in the nearby future. And all those "million-in-a-day" kickstarters are a hilarious boot to the face of the big companies that say 'lul this kind of gaem has no audience today and wouldn't be profitable'.

Yeah, but that's only a minor thing. IIRC, translations of Sapkowski into english are not only pretty bad technically, but they are also not translated directly from Polish, going with like Potato -> French -> English. Although maybe I'm confusing him with Lem now because I know for sure that some translations of Lem are like that.

I didn't like the demo much tbh :/ the formula completely doesn't suit me. The combat is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too dependent on luck (which is very bad given that it's single character), there's literally nothing being done outside dialogue windows, and the dialogues themselves aren't even that well-written to begin with. Also, playing a 'middleground' character is nearly impossible unless you know every quest through and through or savescum by applying skill points only when you need them - you gotta go either full talky dude or full combat dude. Disappointed as hell by the demo really, which is a shame, 'cause the premise and stuff were very cool.
