For the roleplaying geeks out there... Anyone else play any Black Isle games? Baldur's Gate series, etc? Anyone been reading about Neverwinter Nights and getting excited?

The more I hear about it, the better it sounds. Any thoughts?

I hear that Interplay (of Baldur's Gate fame) is looking for a buyer. Let's hope whoever buys them up let's them keep up the quality.

Did you enter the Neverwinter Nights Design contest? I guess they're announcing a winner tomorrow (didn't even see it until tonight). The movie available from www.neverwinternights.com is taking for freaking ever to download - even on DSL!

I remember playing Forgotten Realms games in the late 80s. They’ve come a long way.

Interplay sucks big cheesy camel cocks, in my opinion. They take a lot of great stuff from their developers, then encase it in the most obnoxious installation and configuration software imaginable, not to mention their nigh-on-decade-long habit of making you say "No, I don't want to fucking register! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" every time you run one of their games.

I bought Descent 3 the other day, and it took me a bit of work to get the very complicated controls and graphics set up just the way I like them. In that time, I must have told Interplay to shove their registration up their arses about ten times. It gets old.

What did you think of the game?

Oh, and Interplay called. They asked if you would like to register.

And I just now viewed the NeverWinter Nights mpg. It looks like the love child of Diablo and Everquest. Could be addictive.

NeverWinter Nights? I used to play a game of that title on AOL 6-7 years ago. Where do I go for more info on that??

I hear that Interplay just got the videogame rights to Hunter: The Reckoning.

And I have an opinion on this. Ahem...

GYAAAH!! Not even Hunter deserves that!!
