No performance boost really. But it will run cooler, and thus, there's a less risk of it breaking down.

- When you first meet Deionarra in Planescape: Torment - The writings on the walls at your own maze in Planescape: Torment - Bah, almost everything in Torment was well written - Most of the characters in Vampire: Bloodlines were really well written - S.H.O.D.A.N.'s taunting in System Shock 2 - Kreia in KotOR 2 had her moments - Deus Ex had a pretty simple conspiracy-story, but the characters were very mature. Arguing with the A.I. at Morgan Everett's home in Paris is a personal favourite of mine. I probably forgot some of final fantasies and other RPG's, i was too impressed with PS:T, so everything else is easily forgotten.

For a minute there, i thought that i by accident ended up at 4chan.org

The mentality of RPGCodex?

I do like Role-Player solution: Knowledge is gained from past experience with the particular subject, but it would demand a pretty huge undertaking by the developer. Maybe i missed it, but i wouldn't prefer to ditch charisma and intelligence entirely, since those options would still depend on the NPC's reaction of the player's knowledge. For example with the buyer and seller scenario, even if the player has the knowledge that it could be bought for a cheaper price, why would the seller sell it? Here comes charisma and intelligence in, it may be cosmetic, but it would correspond to real life. Even car-salesmen has to have a certain amount of charisma when trying to sell their cars.

And we're up to 21 again. 1 new major and 2 new minor errors //EDIT: Scrap that, 2 new features as well, up to 23 again!

What this forum expects of is that the time junior has learned to read, daddy will pickup a couple dices, a board and a nice book D&D-rules. Adventure awaits! Ahoy!

Until i can run PS:T and other older games from 90's on it + until there's support for EAX in Vista, i will stay with XP.

2 GB DDR2 RAM <-- 4GB DDR2 667mhz RAM And an Auzentech Prelude 7.1 is on its way as well. Finally i can have EAX 5.0 in 5.1-speaker-mode through a single optical cable (The X-Fi can only transform 2-channel through optical when talking about gaming).

Did you charge her up at the loading-ramp?

What the...? Close this thread.

1. No Dane cared? Wow... You really are attuned with the force Luke. You're power of insight is inspiring. What about the owners of the Danish companies? You think they don't care when their companies suffered significant loss as a result of the boycott? 2. If I remember corectly, there was an incident regarding the burning of the Beatles records following a statement by John Lennon. He said, and I quote: "We're more popular than Jesus Christ." Now the people that reacted to this statement weren't Muslims. Point is, the retaliation against the Danish Newspaper is perfectly understandable no matter what you say. It's human nature. Doesn't make it right though. 3. I'd dispute point 3. Freedom of the Press only extends to government interference. It doesn't protect a newspaper from the ill will of the public, nor does it immunize a newspaper from criticism. If direct pressure on the newspaper doesn't yield a desired apology, then applying pressure elsewhere, such as with a boycott of Danish goods, is acceptable in the pursuit of said apology. The point of a boycott would be to persuade Danish private enterprise to join the protesters in demanding an apology in the interests of returning business to normal. Arabs have no obligation to partake of Danish goods. They crossed the line with the violence, not the boycott. 4. Simple. The middle east already abandoned the ways of the ancients when Islam touched their lives. Did you know that before Islam came along, the arabs had this disgusting habit of burrying alive their daughters. And they were highly consumptive of alcohol and free-sex or whatever it is you call sex outside of marriage. There were slave traders in Arabia etc. Islam changed that, and that my self righteous friend, is our revolution. 5. What about tolerance? Does that word even appear in your dictionary? Just because it's not ilegal to insult someone doesn't mean you should go ahead and do it. If I were to go by your logic, then I reserve every right to call your mother a dirty whore and a ****sucking ****. But as a civilized person I am restricted by teachings of Islam that hurting others both emotionally and physically is a sin. 1. The danish companies had nothing to do with it. The Danes didn't care until there was an embassy burned down. 2. Different times, different settings. Those people simply bought Beatles-albums and burned them, they didn't burn down public property or anyone else's private property. "Strangely" enough, the strongest protest came from the "all-so-tolerant-at-the-time", the american south. 3. Criticism? Yup, that's alright. Open protest and demonstrations? That's alright. Punishing others for what a newspaper writes? Wrong and stupid. I sure wouldn't boycott Iranian sweets because of a local newspaper did deny the holocaust and called for the destruction of Israel. 4. There has certainly been progress, but intellectualism and free-thinking has still a way to go. Al-Jazeera seems to have broken some taboos with its debate-panels though. 5. Tolerance goes both ways. It doesn't mean that you have to be nice, but you have to tolerate what other people think too. What if some sun-worshiper found it very offensive to talk about the sun in every way? Would you ban the word 'sun' from public speech? Would you supporting media for doing self-censorship and never mention the sun during their broadcasts? Restraining your own thoughts and words in the name of 'tolerance' is self-censorship.

1. Civil, but still misdirected. Boycotting danish products because of what one magazine did is putting the blame on the people and the government. What did they do? There were no demonstrations because no dane CARED. 2. It is not understandable, not byt one single inch. That would mean that every other country would've bombed and pillaged every american embassy in the world for having one american artist publish their work of 'P*ss-christ'. 3. I don't get it, did the newspaper sell something else than its own newspaper? And what's the deal with freedom of press? Is it ok to go on a rampage when some has different view than you? Not really. The only other way is censorship, which is not a sign of a free and open society. 4. Yup, we did. Horrible times, and we haven't to this very day got along with each other in Europe. But we're on the right track at least. Trying to negotiate and comprise for a better future. But what has that to do with anything? My point lies in that the middle east never had 'revolution' in terms of free-thinking and intellactualism, which is counterproductive when a society has to evolve with the times. 5. Not everyone is nice to each other, that's the way the world is. You can't have laws against someone being offended since it wouldn't work. Someone's offence can be the compliment of the other. Focus on the better things in life and just recognize that offence is just a part of life that you can't do anything about, just like catching a flu.

So you're denying that stupid and ugly parents breed stupid and ugly children? Nope, it's just that the odds are worse compared to the opposite. But there will never be a "land of the stupid", the human gene-pool is too unpredictable for that.

Erm, what would be the "smart" answer? There's no "right" or "smart" answer when it comes to ones desire to have sex, since it's so attached to our emotions Why do we need a reason to enjoy sex in the first place?

I wasn't pointing out the boycott as a separate point, it was just part of the whole package that escalated to something very, very silly.

Yeah, pretty much as Pop said.

Judging by some of those answers, humanity is doomed to idiocracy (Joking, eugenics have been proven wrong thousands of times, don't take it too seriously folks)

1) The newspaper asked a couple of boys and girls on who they think Mohammad was, and drew some pictures. If you think that their views are jaded or that they are brainwashed, then this should've been handled in a civil and proper manner. 2) Drew in a 'Violent manner?' Is the destruction of the danish embassies in Syria and Jordan then completely understandable? Is that a perfect reaction to a cartoon? 3) Boycotting danish products and demanding a shutdown of newspaper and official apology from the danish government was completely unreasonable. Since there's a freedom of press and freedom of religion, it's completely ok to mock other religions, deal with it. The danish people and the government in general had nothing to do with it. Way to generalize the population of a country. 4) Social taboos and nono's are made to be questioned in a society through art and freedom of expression. Art is not the mirror, it's the hammer. Apparently, the middle east hasn't gone trough its own renaissance yet. 5) "The pain and anger inflicted on us peace loving Muslims" <-- Care to explain what you meant by that?
