One week ahead of schedule!

Download this viedo, it''s 91 megs and has the developers doing a director''s commentary overtop of a bunch of gameplay scenes. I''m going to say something I don''t normally say about upcoming titles since I''m so jaded and bitter now:

The game looks f*cking awesome.

I looked at their website for about a minute and got a little intrigued, which for classic RPGs for me take a while to do.

Hmm, turn-based. Interesting I may turn into a turn based whore....

And now, the Out of Context Theater:

I may turn into a turn based whore....

This has been the Out of Context Theater.

This is excellent news.

Oh yeah, turn-based rules!

I thought that whore were trick based?

Those are the times where I think about picking up a second job, so I can buy all those good games that come out. But then I won''t have enough time to play all of them. So it seems I have to choose. And TOEE is very high on my list at the moment.

Anyone have a link to it other than fileplanet?

Wow, after watching that video I''m _very_ interested.

Hurrah! A D&D game that doesn''t suck!

Someone post when and if they find this in stores today

Just what I was going to say. I''m not sure if I should make a trip out to the mall today or wait unitil tomorrow. I''ll probably go today since I want to pick up the new Perfect Circle cd anyway.

If you go...go after 6pm your local time.. thats when most eb''s or gamestops *may* get the game today..

Sometimes you have to ""convince"" the sales drones to open the ups boxes and check.. since its only a pc game.

Don''t choke them.. I''ve tried that before.. it only summons a level 3 security guard.

Level 3 security guards?...They stand no chance against my fist of rage +5!

ToEE review at Gamespy

Is it just me, or did GameSpy change their review formats?

I noticed that too, I thought they did out of a hundred but TToEE got four stars. A weird change to make, I wonder what drove the decision.

Hmmm 4 stars is more ambiguous. Actually maybe thats why.

If you give a game 3 out of 4 stars, that could look good to the games ad exec and convey mediocrity to the readers.

I can see the conversation now...

""We panned it in the review but ended up giving it 3 out of 4 stars which is a good score.""

Both sides happy

I would guess it''s out of five stars actually.

That wont work then. 4 star ratings are the most ambiguous. I mean a lot of people go see 2 star movies and enjoy them. That''s 50% if we convert to percentage. In the 4 star rating, a 2 star movie could be seen as ""decent entertainment"" that doesnt break any molds. That does not communicate the same idea as giving a movie or game a 50% rating.

Umm...fang... ToEE got 4 out of 5 stars. You''re middle-of-the-road star is still there.

Did anyone get it yet?

EB and Gamestop said tommorrow.
