If a chicken and a half lays an egg and a half, how many pepperoni slices does it take to shingle the roof of a doghouse?

None! Because ice cream has no bones!

If you're rowing down the river in a double-decker canoe, how many flapjacks does it take to shingle a doghouse?

None! Because snakes don't have armpits.


Also, what's brown and sticky? A stick.
What's yellow and can't swim? A bulldozer.
Why did Johnny fall off the swing? Because Johnny was a fish.

And this one, which works better in person:
Knock knock.
Who's there?

Interrupt-- *splat your hand (gently!) on their face, fingers outstretched*

It's not half bad. It is high-quality, bright and vibrant and smooth looking, a bit Playskoolish for my tastes - it looks a lot like Fable, to me.

The game is quest heavy but simple to begin with and there are tutorials for EVERYTHING, and there are mini games, jobs, skills, stats, etc. But the menus are kept really simple and although there is some, there isn't a TON of screen clutter like in most games.

There really isn't a large emphasis on combat, though you can fight in some quests - but monsters generally can't jump out and grab you in the normal 'moving around' part of the game - you have to click on them like an encounter mini-game.

I have to say I kinda miss combat and I don't really like the quest/mini game aspect of it - every time you want to do these, the screen goes dark and it loads a whole different environment, which has caused my computer to freeze up solid a number of times, though it's probably because I don't have a gig of memory - but still, it takes time to download realtime (I'm pretty sure anyway) or even if you were playing it off a disk.

Overall, once the bugs have been worked out of it, I think it's a good solid game, one that will appeal to a broader audience possibly, than most hack-and-slash type MMORPGS, even all members of the family could conceivably play this without worrying much about it being too violent or objectionable in some other way (assuming you're ok with people using magic etc.).

For more serious gamers and MMORPGers, however, it seems like it takes forever to get started and is a long way from having the familiar "feel" or mechanics (character screen and inventory is entirely different, etc) of what you're likely used to, so unless they're dedicated to broadening your horizons, I don't see this game replacing anything out there, for this particular gamer group.
