The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • This is kinda cool.  An open source game from Bungie...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>If it were that novel, it wouldn't really be its own game. As long as the engine is the same, all you can do is make a TC.</div>
