Syt got me interested in Shadowrun Returns...

Is it a standalone, or does it have a prequel?

Also, nice videos  :thumbsup:

Thanks. Shadowrun Returns is a standalone, and so is its expansion Dragonfall. Haven't played Dragonfall, but by all accounts it appears to be the much better module (Shadowrun Returns is basically an engine, like Neverwinter Nights, with available editor so users can make their own adventures - Dead Man's Switch is the module that came with the original release).

On my immediate to do list are The Wolf Among Us (when Shadowrun is done) and the WWE career mode. Also, GalCivIII when it's officially out in two weeks.

Slight revision: WWE's PC port is a mixed bag (I was thinking of doing a universe mode with 25 Languish characters), so it has been shelved for now to see if patches improve some aspects. Current substitute might be Frozen Cortex, futuristic tactical football game with WeGo mechanics that I previously had not much interest in, but they've now added a management mode, free agencies etc.

Man, the combat in Endless Legend looks terrible. It seems way more micromanagey than Civilization, without being any more tactically interesting.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Yeah, a proper turn based mode would have been nice, and it's my main gripe with the game. AoW3 or Fallen Enchantress do it much better. A shame, because I find the world of the game really engrossing.

Getting slightly frustrated with Action! which I use for recording. Every 6th or 7th recording it will randomly stop recording after a few minutes, but the screen overlay will keep running to indicate it's recording. It's when you stop recording that you noticed there's been a crash, meaning you spent 20+ minutes talking to yourself and having to go back and replay what you did. <_<

I have yet to find out what causes it. It happens with graphics/CPU intensive games, with 2D jump and runs, with various recording settings, and sometimes a setting works, and every once in a while it doesn't. I checked the external HD I use for recording, but it's fine.

I'm looking at D3DGear as alternative. Fraps would be another choice, but it would require re-encoding before upload, because the recording files are huge.
