Bill Harris has a nice blog posting about a graphical mod for Planescape Torment that upgrades it to 1600x1200, supposed to be nice. So could try that oldie but goodie.

I hear ya Kyosho. I've always been the same way. Over time I've had a few female friends that were great for opening up to and right now I don't have any around like that (outside of my wife of course).

Looking forward to war. I've pre-ordered, so I guess I'll get in the wider beta since I my application hasn't been picked up for the closed one. As to someone not being impressed a year ago.... that's why the game was still in development

We're looking at moving to a bigger place this summer, so I guess it's going into the fund for that. Or for some new furniture or a new tv to help fill up that future new place. So I'm helping the housing market and buying stuff (and becoming poorer).

I'm through Vlad at this point and having a good time, with no freeze-ups. That said, I haven't been convinced that this adds that much to what Mafia and GTA3 had in games. Better graphics, some extra reactions/interaction from random people for atmosphere, but missions, driving, etc don't seem revolutionary.
My one real complaint is that if you have a game saved, then do a mission, or in my case quit during a mission, it removes your mission status from the saved game so you have to redo some stuff, even if you load the old saved game. Annoyed me enough to have me stop for the night.

I'm one of the frustrated, but rarely pissed players. I certainly don't throw anything breakable... maybe slap the couch or throw a pillow. And that is not from people (MP), but from poor game designs that make me replay something too much. E.g. a couple of the off the wall jumps in Tomb Raider Anniversary took forever to get to work right. People quitting in halo 3 does get on my nerves though...

I'm sure it'll be fun to a degree... but it's yet another mini-game game for the wii. Those are like live arcade games to me... I can enjoy them, but they often get old fast.

I'm keeping an open mind... but not going to purchase before a few reviews are out. And supposedly it will be Teen rated, but pushed as far as it can go. So probably not severe fatalities, but some level of blood/violence.

Yes, the most frustrating part of the game is that there are parts where it goes like 2 hours between save points. Doesn't bother me most of the time (as they give you a save point right before any boss or place you would really die), but it can suck a few times.
Yes, you get new weapons and items throughout the game. For the most part they are just more powerful versions of what you have, but accessories will continue to give you new skills and rings will become better as well.
And the pipots are pretty meaningless, but at certain markers for seeds (# you've provided throughout the game) you get items in return. And you can trade a few lesser items (e.g. healing medicine) for better versions.
