Like how party members might up and quit if they get too
upset. Its too bad more rpg's don't do such. Jagged alliance 2 did
it, even if it wasn't an rpg. I remember a couple mercs always
fighting each other, threatening to kill each other, when one day 2 go
off, but mysteriously, only one comes back, the missing one never to
be seen again. hehe.

Bunch of games coming out this month, probably all stuff that
had been originally planned for x-mas I'd bet. Elemental by stardock.
A new puzzle quest for the pc, puzzle quest galactrix. afro samuri
for the ps3 (just came out, so past tense already). Burnout paradise
for the pc (I already have for the ps3, good game though). DoW 2 (I
normally don't like rts's, but I like the kohan/company of heroes/DoW
approach). Empire: total war (ok, not this month exactly, but less
than a month from today) (another exception to my dislike of rts's).
Sonic's genesis collection for the ps3 (40 sega genesis games, kinda
ghey I know, another lame collection release, but I guiltily and
shamefully want it just so I can play shining in the darkness again).
Ok, so not many of those are rpg's, but shining the darkness should
count. I wish the genesis compilation would include master of
monsters, but hey, can't have everything, and battle for wesnoth kind
of fits the bill anyhow, and its free.

Oh fuck. I've been looking forward to this game for years, but the fact
that the shitty games-pimp is promoting it now has me worried :(

The guys at Penny Arcade got a look at it in the NY Expo - Tycho
sounds very excited about it.

You mean the game that was going to be released in March but got
pushed to November only so it could be released with the consoles?
Wake me up in November, if a delay in the 360 version hasn't pushed it
even further.

If I want cheese I would go to the official game forum and read
through the 85 page or so thread about the delay :)

I'm unemployed right now, so I don't care if a game doesn't come out for a
few months - I can't afford to spend money on luxuries right now.

(Though if they send me a review copy, I'll be pleased as punch. :p)

You're unemployed?? But Jonah, your blog is so awesome you must be beating

Hi! I don't know if you noticed all the video game and PC magazines
being canceled or not in a global fucking recession...

I could only laugh at the recently hyped ''trailer'' which revealed
nothing about the game except that hordes of vanilla good-guy-types will
be battling hordes of undead. Yawn.
