I'd be concerned about getting my knee stuck in the ogre's chin.  "Oh FU..." <SPLAT>

I didn't realize they made clownshoes out of plate armor.  Ohhhhh, I see.
On the other hand, they did manage to design one cool item. The not quite rectangular sword with the off center hilt. If it was a bit shorter it seems like something that could actually exist.

The red thing looks like a cyclops to me... except the eye isn't directly over the nose.  Maybe it's an ogre with eyes really close together.

I guess dark elves don't dance, because he'd impale his fucking partner with those knees. Seriously, WTF?

I had the same thought, except I thought "Salvatore" rather than McFarlane.

Beside a couple news updates in the "story" section (mostly concerning the recent Comic-con), we get three new screeenshots in the "Explore" area, called "Alabastra" (well, err, the "Slamminator" is now of decent size :P), "Niskaru Fight" (feat. a BIG "Soul Calibur"  sword!!!!) and "Troll Battle":

Nah, Curt got sulky and stopped posting here.  He posts semi-frequently at FOH.  White knight ratio is higher I suppose.

I can't really blame him.  Posting here isn't really going to do much to advance his agenda and I imagine his time is at a premium.

Nice visuals, though not quite what I was expecting by those involved and the amount of cash to toss around.

Well, his posts were pretty much just promotional with no actual content and he didn't really make an attempt to be a member of the community here as other devs have, so meh.

Are his FOH posts as devoid of content as his f13 ones? Not that I really care. I'm just making conversation for the most part.

I stopped paying attention to the thread over there.  Every once in a while I skim through to see if anything worthwhile has been said, but as far as I can tell it's a lot of hinting with no payoff for the last 3 years.

Couldn't check those from work. My opinion on #1 and #2 are Generic Fantasy by way of a Warhammer Chaos Warrior, and #3 is Generic Fantasy by way of Extra Generic.
Inspiring!

The game has been shown behind closed doors to the press at the GDC (public display at Pax East, like I previously wrote).

Previews:

Joystiq: http://ow.ly/49FTP
VG24/7: http://ow.ly/49FV7
Gamespot: http://ow.ly/49FX4
RPGamer: http://ow.ly/49FY9
Eurogamer: http://ow.ly/49FZE
IGN: http://ow.ly/49G11

The official site has slightly been revamped with new official screenshots and concept art (just in case you wonder, the trailer is still the old one from August):

(BIG IMAGE)

They're still pretty vague; reading the impressions, it looks like they're going for a action-oriented combat system mixed with sandbox exploration of the world (you only pick the race but there are no classes, just "destinies"/talent trees to follow in order to shape your character). I like the art direction, it looks pretty vibrant to me and the monsters look quite detailed/unique.

Aiming for a "Fall 2011" release date (I'm a bit skeptic on that front)...Going toe-to-toe with Skyrim?

Here's a link to find the coverage from the GDC press reveal as well as post PAX commentary from the folks that got to see the 45 minute live in game demo. We had the demo shot in HD and will hopefully be posting that at some point soon for players to check out. http://www.38watch.com/forums/showthread.php?1821-The-Media-Compilation-Thread

New trailer featuring in-game footage.
(edited to add: the COPS pov ad that you may see is not, in fact, the new trailer)

Article on Massively

(I'm at work, so I watched it with the sound off.)

It looks sweet. Spell effects and animations are a little over the top, maybe. I wonder how much of that will end up in the MMO.

The trailer calls for a 2012 release.
