Okay, but what I'm wondering is, why do they have to have the incredibly generic and unexciting box art for the regular edition on one hand, and the intristically detailed and good looking box art that says nothing whatsoever about the game for the collector's edition on the other? Why can't they do art that looks both appealing on the shelves and captures the feel of the game? Might even look pretty, too. How hard can it be? [/Clarkson]

Just judging by what my Zevran was doing by the end of the game, I can almost guarantee that he was doing more damage than my 2 hander warrior.

Absolutely.  But I've generally found that the somewhat elevated damage when you can consistently maneuver into a flanking position onto a single target do not make up for the lower survivability, particularly against large groups with many archers.  No question, you can beat the game on hard with 4 rogues should you really want to, but the general consensus that I've read so far on forums, and which my experiences match as well, is that if you are inclined to maximize the lethality of your group there is no reason to roll with a rogue -- particularly an archer rogue.  By game end Sten is hitting for 60+ and critting for 100+ if he's properly outfitted and ability stacked -- I don't know what the dps is but I would be surprised if you could get anything near that with an optimized 2h rogue.  What kind of numbers have you seen?

Of course the real issue is that warriors provide the tanks (and emergency back-up tanks for when taunt mysteriously fails or the archers appear super extra keen on perforating the mages) and mages provide the heals, aoe damage, and aoe cc, so in group fights where rogue aoe abilities are limited and hard to come by, the rogue's roll is questionable from a group optimizing perspective.  But understand that I used to play WoW in a progression guild so my viewpoint is skewed toward min/maxing to a (perhaps) unusual extent.

Finalized box art. I think they realized no one cares about grunt.

just found out that banquet records are gonna be the official P+P distro in the UK, so i'll be checking back with them in a week or so to see if they've got AWS and cheap girls' new ones in stock yet.

The Riot Before just signed with P&P. New album..next year? Can't wait for it.

"Our Love to Admire" is certainly their weakest effort by far, but "Rest My Chemistry" is classic Interpol.

I'll be around for the next one.

I'm tired of pretending it's my fault somehow for not liking Fugazi. Fuck those guys.

actually, seeing s how Fugazi is literally the best band in the world, you should probably give him an IOU card with 5 blowjobs straight away

Fugazi are one of the most meh-inspiring bands in the world, if you ask me.

Also, yeah, I totally mis-read Khar's post.
