Bob Dylan: The Basement Tapes Complete (the Bootleg Series Vol. 11)

by Simon in

bob dylan is an artist like no other.

while some spend months or even years working on and crafting an album, some of his have been cut over a long weekend.. some have been great, some are near misses - some seem awful at the time and then come into their own a decade later.. the mistique around the man has always driven demand for his music especially the unrelease stuff.

the original bootleg album was "the basement tapes" recorded with the band after his motorcycle accident of the late 60's.

Glad to be of some use! I wasn't ss fond of Morrowind as some either (where
are the 'cycles? Where are the radio stations? Where are the funny peds?) but
I'll look at those other RPGs. (One take on Morrowind I had is it's the life
of a drug addict. Think of it: he's always breaking into houses and killing
people to steal their stuff, takes it to the pawn shop for money, takes the
money to extortionists for his "power ups," and everywhere he goes everything
looks surreal. One odd thing for a drug addict is he only like listening to
shopping music.)

The web page with coverage, if not walk-throughs, of a lot of games has some
other links to videos by RPG players for Neverwinter Nights and others and some
seem pretty experienced.

"do you remember the first D&D for computers?"

I got my first PC for a DAW in 2002. The first game I played all the way
through was "Vice City" (which I still love). I've just dabbled in some PC
games. I've never owned a console and don't like gamepads or play multiplayer.
I haven't played all the games on that one web page listed earlier--just the
ones I covered more with the rest of a series added for thoroughness. The
other pages at the site have walk-throughs for games I've played more--I'm
still working on a walk-through for "IV" (I finally got a new PC earlier this
year).
http://glenster1.webs.com/

I got "Morrowind" free with one of my first graphics cards but some people
are a lot more familiar with D & D than me. Toegoff is one of the better
"Let's Play"ers whose experience with D and D games goes back to the paper and
pencil days.

Nobody's obliged to anyone else's subjective reaction to such things. I
don't believe in a final arbiter of taste nor pretend to be one about those
things (considering it pretentious). Many of these games have been very well
reviewed and popular, I enjoyed some myself back when I first played games,
yet, unlike popular movies, may be forgotten as CPUs, GPUs, OS systems, etc.,
change. The update news can be unexpected and welcome and is there for anyone
interested.

Grim Fandango Remastered

"Double Fine demonstrated an in-progress version of the remastered game at
the 2014 IndieCade event in October 2014; new features included higher-resolu-
tion background textures, improved resolution for the character models as well
as having real-time lighting models, and the ability to switch back and forth
between this presentation and the original graphics at the touch of a control;
though at the time of the IndieCade event, the game remained in the 4:3 aspect
ratio, Double Fine plans to support widescreen aspect ratios by release. The
game includes an updated easier control scheme based that was developed with
the help of a player that provided these controls through a mod for the origin-
al game. The game's soundtrack will be fully orchestrated through performances
of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (who has also done the soundtrack for
Double Fine's Broken Age), and will also feature developer commentary."

"BloodRayne,": Laura Bailey can be chosen for Female Voice 1 in "Saints Row:
The Third" and "Saints Row IV"

One of the downloadable content items for "The Third" is the Bloodsucker
Pack. You can use it with a female protagonist, customize it, and use Female
Voice 1, Laura Bailey, to create BloodRayne (sort of).
