Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, first released in 1985 (USCO# PA-317-504) for the Apple II, is the fourth in the series of Ultima computer role-playing games. It is the first in the "Age of Enlightenment" trilogy, shifting the series from the hack and slash, dungeon crawl gameplay of its "Age of Darkness" predecessors towards an ethically-nuanced, story-driven approach. In 1996 Computer Gaming World named Ultima IV as #2 on its Best Games of All Time list on the PC. Designer Richard Garriott considers this game to be among his favorites from the Ultima series.

    Yes, Dee! I like it. It needs a little more thickness on your cheeks but overall it's good; makes you look thinner.

    Pfff. Ultima 7 was the gentleman's Ultima. It's a shame the series died. Or became an online farmville clone.

    Also just looking at the multiplayer integration for gears 3, but it looks solid, from the opening menu you have your xbox party ready to rock. When you hit story mode you can fill 3 slots right from that menu as well. I like that for a flagship multiplayer title they've done a great job of showcasing what happens when someone actually gives a shit about making multi work.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Ultima VIII - Pagan was an amazing game.

    There was a voice pack that made it one of the earlier multimedia games to offer such a thing.

    It was also very mature and bloody for its time.

    The magic system was a major pain in the ass, though.

    One of the best things about GoW is how easy it is to marathon through. It's the perfect game for a night. I am kind of sad that I no longer have an ox-box I can play.

    All the crazy magic circle shit. NONSENSE. Best cheat/debug mode ever though.

    Also, fuck the jump puzzles in that game with instant water death.

    Yeah and for the most part the game style has not changed. So playing 1 and 2 won't be like replaying ME 1, it'll be a little less tight without some additional functionality, but the base game is still there.

    Like for me Gears is the flagship franchise for the 360. Halo I can take or leave, but gears is fun times everytime.

    Ultima did not die!

    EA killed it along with Origin, and Lord British's heart was wounded forever.

    Then the bastards named their downloader service Origins, because they like to defecate on the corpses of the good gaming houses they've destroyed.

    An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one tells the bartender he wants a beer. The second one says he wants half a beer. The third one says he wants a fourth of a beer...


    The bartender puts two beers on the bar and says “You guys need to learn your limits.”

    a string walks into a bar

    or tries to

    but the bouncer stops him at the door and says whoa whoa

    we don't allow your kind in here

    the string wanders around a little bit, sad

    then roughs himself up, getting all jumbly and dirty

    walks back into the bar

    the bouncer says hey wait a minute, aren't you that string I just kicked out?

    string says nope, I'm a frayed knot!

    I can't remember if it was in the second game, but in the third you can now call a focus target for your squad, and on top of that, your fucking squad kicks ass. At least on normal.

    Are we telling bad jokes?

    A pastor and a cab driver die and go to heaven, the paster gets a one room shack and the cab driver gets a huge mansion. The pastor feeling he got slighted asked St. Peter what was up.

    "Well when you gave sermons people fell asleep, while when he drove people prayed to god the entire time."

    Would hope so

    This is game number 3. If they still didn't have their multi fixed I wouldn't know what to say. Gears 1 was exploitative, and Gears 2 multi just flat out didn't work.

    One thing I've noticed not really a spoiler is that we finally get to see more of their actual society, at least to start. I'm still early in the game but I've already felt like the universe is more fleshed out this time.

    And come on Jacob you know you want to be the dom to my fenix. We can cuddle and everything.

    Yeah as I said gamestop was geek stereotype bingo. I felt bad for the two ladies working the register because they were the only ladies in the entire place and while I was there for like 20 minutes there were no less than 4 seperate come ons. And creepily they knew both lady gamestop peoples names but I bet they couldn't have told you any of the three dudes names.

    Three guys die and go to heaven.

    St. Peter tells them that what they drive in the afterlife is a reflection of how faithful they were in their life.

    The first guy, eternally faithful to his wife in both mind and body, was given a bentley.

    The second guy, who had thoughts of cheating on his wife and flirted harmlessly at work, was given a Lexus.

    The last guy, we cheated on his wife twice, was given a Toyota Tercel.

    A couple days later, the guy with the Tercel drove by and saw the man with the Bently, parked over on the side of the road, crying.

    He pulled over, got out, and asked him "what's wrong? How could you possibly be upset with how things turned out?"

    The man with the bentley looked up at him and said, "My wife got roller skates"
