Work has SUCKED the last couple of months. Very stressful. My hand hurts from my non-ergonomic desk. Don't feel like playing games, or reading, or much of anything.
- Internet's Tad
aww. I hope you feel better soon! Have a restful weekend and all that. I know! You could finally get around to getting me my baby! I know that'd be loads of fun!

I'm in the same shoes as you. And what's worse is holidays are around the corner. :(
- imabonehead
Don't really feel bad. Just uninterested. Totally bleh. I don't get how some folks work 60+ hour weeks. I'm not working that much, but I'm totally mentally drained.
- Internet's Tad
yeah. mentally drained sucks any motivation to do anything right out of you.

It would have been fun to go watch a movie, but this has been the year of shitty movies.

I should of learnt Engliz as my One-th language! Sorry
- directeur
Shoulda is a vast improvement - it's colloquial and slangy. If you don't know the difference, you can fake it and pretend you do and you're ust kidding. But for the obvious mistakes that make it clear you were asleep for ALL of third grade, ++++++++++++ Tad AND Alex!
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Yeah - Kevin's right. They're saying "should've" not "should of", in which the pronounced form is correct.
- Jesse Stay
I think Tad means that he saw that? Not heard it.
- directeur
Tad might be talking about the habit people have of writing "Should of". It gets up my nose, too. Along with me-and-I confusion. And "prolly."

@berial What's your gamer tag? Mine is Fantt (should be easy to remember)
This should be MUCH MORE CLEARLY spelled out in the console version of the game. You get massacred until you figure out how to properly concentrate your attacks.

It's the modern, 3D successor to Baldur's Gate without the D&D/Forgotten Realms baggage. I played through 2 and a half of the 6 intros, and they're each excellent. I haven't gotten much further than where each of them merges into the main storyline. The controls are pretty awkward, but not too surprising for a feature packed game squeezed onto a console.
- Internet's Tad
A few people at work have mentioned it. It's an RPG right? I've never really got into RPGs.
- Kol Tregaskes
I ordered it off steam last night. 15GB download :O
- Rodfather
Hmmm...real-time combat, or turn-based? (or the pseudo-realtime thing they did in KOTOR, which I'm fine with).
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I believe it's realtime but you can pause and queue up spells/abilities. At least real-time compared to Japanese RPG's.
- Rodfather
From what I read, in the console versions you are in the 3rd person perspective only and plays like KOTOR. You switch between team members with the triggers. In the PC version, you get both a 3rd person perspective and top-down view (like Baldur's Gate)
- Rodfather
OK, I might give it a looksee. I played the Warhammer: Dawn of War 2 demo the other day. really, really liked it.
- Kol Tregaskes
You can download the demo for the 360 to see if you'll like it. Actually maybe not.. at least someone told me there was a demo.
- Rodfather
Thanks, Rodfather, I might give it a rent. I like western RPGs (KOTOR, Oblivion, Fallout), but not Japanese ones that much, and I haven't played Baldur's Gate or Diablo or any of those PC ones to really know what they're like.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Dragon Age is VERY similar to KOTOR, Mass Effect, etc, just with a fantasy flair.
- Internet's Tad
Tad, SWEET! Sounds right up my alley. Can't wait for Mass Effect 2. Dragon Age wasn't even on my radar, so thanks for mentioning it.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Yup - you'll love it Jandy. Also, it comes with some sort of "in game" item thingy for Mass Effect 2
- Internet's Tad
Dragon Age is AWESOME!! Just finished the first boss fight - woah.
A programmer was found dead of starvation in his bathroom. Next to him were a hundred empty shampoo bottles. Why did he die?

Aww, didn't realise my one was already in the list. Amusingly it's number 42. Still, my version is better and it WAS the first programmer joke I ever heard - told by my Comp.Studies lecturer back in my college days.
