Just picked it up, fry's had it for 12 bucks off from the normal 50, and I just so happened to have enough in my pocket to pick it up. I don't know how many of you have or do play Neverwinter nights (original) but, after a lot of modding, there were some pretty good multiplayer servers. Just another time waster I guess.…
hehe, thread is awesome indeed! Ok, my opinion: 1)Next gen games- looks like clons. really... Look on Oblivion and NWN2, i think they looking similiar, but in that moment i can't say what Morrowind look like NWN1. Both old games have unique style. 2)Next gen games- styleless.

Last time I checked Atari was in debt up past thier eyeballs and couldn't extend it if they wanted to. They are hanging on by threads and I honestly didn't…
I have personally worked for game companies, where the AD had his power esurped by the head of the game company, hell when I was at Disney, Eisner would tell the artist what was art and make up his own. Sometimes your best intentions are not able to be shown as someone above you with more power can affect it. An AD is an…
