But does anyone else’s Fable 2 booklet smell like pine?

Interesting. New book/paper smell, you mean? Or do you feel it is intentional?[/quote]

Nope, it is distinctly piney, not the same as a new book. Like it got shipped next to a pallet of car air fresheners or something.

I figure if I’m not the only one, maybe it is intentional. Scratch n sniff games…sweet.

I hope they take all the time they need to make this game and get it right even if that means pushing it back 1 or 2 years. I done care! Just dont fuck this up![/quote]

You beat me to it. I just got an email from Gamespot about this. I just had a nerdgasm.

After reading this, I went an opened my Fable II to see if it had a pine smell to it. Sure enough, it did. I even fanned the manual in front of my nose for a bit to really get the effect.

That’s really fascinating about the pine smell and I am always a fan of going the extra mile and providing a unique experience, regardless of how mundane or novel.

The Old Republic looks incredible. I love BioWare and that they focused so much on the writing for that game will almost ensure the title becomes a classic.

Really pissed me off when they said the GHtunes studio wouldn’t allow for uploads of covers. I’m hoping there’s a way around it. Especially with Led Zeppelin saying they won’t release any of their masters EVER!

Is that the new KOTOR MMO?!?! I’m at work, can’t get to the link!

I believe it is titled Star Wars: The Old Republic, so I am unsure of the relevance to ‘Knight of the Old Republic,’ since I didn’t follow that game. I did like Jedi Knight on the PC when it first came out years ago. That was an awesome game. I should follow the newer ones and definitely will pick up TOR when it is released.

Man, the more of these games I see coming out, the less I want a badass PC and instead want to pick up a console…

Well what I’d heard up to this point was that the new MMO was going to take place more in the KOTOR times. I hope they take their time on it too. Galaxies was alright for a while, at least until everybody and their mother was walking around with a lightsaber.

Can’t you use a proxy server like all the other deviant employees at your work? :slight_smile:

lol, no the military seems to be pretty good at sniffing those out.

Last time I was deployed it was a constant battle. One of the guys had a list of about 100 proxy blockers and he’d pass them around and we’d use it for a couple days before they axed it. Kind of fun, because I’m sure it was pissing them off to no end!

Oh shit!

I am not an MMO guy, thank God, else they’d be the end of me. I can’t wait for Diablo III, though, but I won’t be playing it online. Same with Starcraft 2.

Fable 2 = Rape…
Anyone else have it?
What is your opinion?

Uh, come to daddy:

Scantily clad in gunmetal, my favorite color. I need a cigarette…

Hot damn! Reconsidering the S5 are we?

That is gorgeous though, closely measures up to my favourite, the Carrera GT.

Yes that would be Star Wars: The Old Republic! Its a fairly long artical but if you want I can PM you the copy/paste of it. And IGN is going to have more coverage every day the rest of the week so just let me know.

If we are to look at the monetary factor, the S5 I pointed out is like toting around a flashy key chain.

This would be a custom tailored, handmade, three piece suit; complete with Bond girl caliber arm candy.

If only I had $613,000 to blow on a car…

They say that guy who designed this car - it was NOT Ruf, I believe who did the original design - was the work of 26 yo design student Bennett Soderberg and this was his FIRST project out of school when he was hired by Ruf. Unreal. What a claim to fame.

Holy crap…

Fable 2 is awesome…Totally loving the game right now. I may or may not have not gone to work on Tuesday because I was up until 4 AM after picking the game up at midnight…
