Can't wait for the new eps.

PC games, although lately I find it hard to justify the waste of time. Not because I'm particularly busy, but simply because games nowadays seem too boring to play. I loved old-style western RPGs - started with Baldur's gate, but I think Planescape was my favourite, and I really liked Arcanum as well, despite its flaws. Played the usual Quakes etc. of course, but around Quake II it started to get a bit old and I never got into the Unreal Tournament and quake III side of things. I think the last game I really got into was Battlefield 2, but that kind of died down after a while - the gameplay got repetitive, people got routines, it just got boring. Played TF2 a bit, appreciate the design, and it's fun, but somehow I can't bring myself to start the game up. I liked Oblivion, although the writing is terrible, the art is uninspired and the gameplay is somewhat clunky. It was free enough. Mostly I play Armed Assault 2 now, or a heavily modded version anyway, in co-op with a bunch of people.

Mass Effect was mentioned here, I played it, hated it. The story is something dug up out of a pile of discarded B-scifi scripts, the gameplay is repetitive and the design is generic. I thought Bioshock looked ugly, they butchered the art nouveau aesthetic by making it too clunky and thick-set. Crysis was actually surprisingly fun for what it was, although too long considering the gameplay remained the same throughout.

I've really enjoyed the Telltale episodics - Sam & Max started out quite good and got brilliant on the 2nd season. The Monkey Island games look promising, the first episode was decent enough. New ep should be out soon...

"In 1997 Cibo Matto released a new EP entitled Super Relax, which would complete the line-up by introducing new members Sean Lennon and Timo Ellis"

Simpsons movie next year, new eps in 2007 or perhaps 2008.

I heard nothing about a Futurama movie - do you have any backup on that?

The Futurama movie comes out next year doesnt it? Then the new eps in 2008?
