Turn animations off and battles go pretty fast in BW. If I recall correctly, the problem with the slow text started in Gen 3 and carried on until Gen 5 fixed it.

Most people seem to hate it.
Yeah, I have yet to hear something good about gfwl :\ I'm just using the keyboard, and I have a layout roughly similar to what I use for ePSXe. Mouse is basically unusable.
Thanks for the keyboard settings, gonna try it out whenever I buy the game (hopefully soon). You may want to check this out to improve the fps. Won't be pretty, but might be smoother. |

Anyway, been playing Dark Souls a bit. I get a consistent 15 FPS on my laptop. Might be able to improve on that if my suspicions about some hardware conflicts are correct. It's actually quite playable at 15 FPS -- just slow (I grew up on King's Field soooo). The key here is that it's a consistent framerate, I'm not getting much input lag, and from what I've seen so far, it's not a game that rewards rushing anyway.
My computer is starting to show its age, but if it's playable at 15fps I'll buy it. Are you playing with kb+mouse or a controller? Edit: Forgot to ask, how horrible is Games for Windows Live? |

Finished the first SW - Knights of the Old Republic, great game (and I'm not even a fan of the SW franchise). Unfortunately I already knew what was the big twist, but the exposition was awesome nonetheless. Overall it's like proto Mass Effect 1, which can only be a good thing. Shame what happened to Bioware.
Looking forward to KOTOR2 with the restoration mod. Let's see what Obsidian can come up with (aside from bugs).

MEHEM - the Mass Effect Happy Ending mod
What does it do?
- It removes the catalyst scene. No ifs, not buts. It's gone for good. (So is your choice, you will now destroy the reapers no matter what)
- It introduces a whole new scene showing how Joker disobeys orders and keeps the Normandy in the fight long enough for Shepard to be rescued (with the help of a certain Alliance captain :))
- The Normandy no longer crash-lands on the Weirdo Planet
- The implication that the Geth and EDI are destroyed is removed together with the catalyst. While EDI and the Geth will not necessarily show in the epilogue, you can add an optional add-in to make the Geth and Quarians appear at peace in the epilogue slides
- You will see your Shepard reunited with his crew (and even some interaction unique to your LI if the LI is part of the Normandy crew). While they don't exactly have a party, now it is a real bitter-sweet ending with the emphasis on "sweet" rather than on "bitter"
- The musical score is changed quite extensively, including the credits song Project page: http://social.bioware.com/project/8587/YT videos: Part 1 / Part 2It's still very rough around the edges, but it's damn cool. Gotta love the modding community. I might actually start another playthrough. |

Finished Pokemon White 2.
I'm disappointed they returned to the same old formula of "beat evil team -> elite 4" after the first game shaking things up. The pacing was terrible since most of the game was composed of nothing, only for something remotely interesting happen during the end. It's nowhere near the level of White 1, which was surprisingly good. I knew it was a cash in, but still hoped for a little more.
Highlights were the remixed music, the memory link feature and the game asking if you wanted to use another repel.

Finished my replay of Pokemon White a few weeks ago. Story was surprisingly well done and the characters were so likeable that it all reminded me of the Dragon Quest vignettes. A new director did wonders to the game.
So far White 2 is kinda meh, but then I liked the original White so much it'll be hard to top.

Nice to see people who still appreciate P3, there have been lots of bashful comments lately on the net. IMO the only thing P4 did way better was gameplay (which P3 Portable incorporated).
@Ontopic
Restarted Pokemon White in anticipation to White 2, since I barely remember what it was about. Never thought I would be replaying a Pokemon game because of the story. The end of the world is nigh.

I't's kinda funny how it too me 2 years to actually give Infinite Space another try. I'm loving the game this time, it's a great space opera, there's a likable cast (points for Yuri actually using his head and being a sober MC) and the characters portraits have a nice style to them. Too bad the anime cutscenes aren't done in the same way.
I'm exploring the Magellanic Stream. The Flux was incredible creepy, even with the poor graphics.
