Obsidian can't allow magazine scans on its forums, and I believe this applies even to text-only scans. If someone is willing to type the text out and post it (rather than an image), that would probably be okay. I do realise how ridiculous this looks, but we're trying to protect Obsidian's good name and the forum from evil lawyer monsters.

So Hillary's out, finally. A reasonable speech - she talked a lot about healthcare, so I wonder if she's got some policy promises from Obama on this issue, if not an actual job for herself.

Closed for length. Next part is here.

Welcome to Kotor3: Ideas and Suggestions part 25. To quote Lucian's introduction to a previous incarnation: Here are the links to the past threads: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

I don't believe it's ever legal to download pirated software. If you have a damaged CD, contact either the retailer or the publisher. One or the other will probably replace it for free. And this is the Restoration Project thread, by the way.

As World Champions I guess Italy has to be the most likely winner. I'd quite like Spain to win - fellow chronic underachievers and all that. England didn't deserve to be there, but Scotland did - I'm still bitter over that.

If you don't want lots of taxes, then vote Obama in as president and give Congress to the Republicans. I thought that was what usually happened anyway. The name thing is just too ridiculous for a coherent response. And Barack Obama's father is dead. Stop listening to loony-right hate attacks and educate yourself.

The latest news from Atari is that a July release is likely.

A bit of both. 7Gb was never going to zoom down on my connection, but other places (like Gamersgate and Steam) are at least twice as fast on the same setup.

Nope. Hmmmph. I'll Effect your Mass about 50 hours from now, which is how long it's going to take to download from EA Store.

The leaders of Europe wouldn't dare expel a member state. What if Ireland proved it could prosper outside the union?

Daniel Hannan often has interesting posts on the EU and, as he puts it, the European Constitution Lisbon Treaty. I don't have any problem with the contents of the treaty, but I do object to the way it was done, and that fact that it's being forced through despite the likelihood that in many European countries, if the promised referenda were held, the treaty would not be approved. I care a great deal about the European project but if it continues to drive forward headlong without engaging popular support it will come crashing down around us.

MA students pay, and overseas students pay around three times what home students pay, in the UK at least. The universities need the money - they get very little money from government or undergraduates, certainly less than before. It's bad business to fail a paying customer, and if everybody's being lenient there's less risk to your institution's reputation, I suppose. It's also true that in order to attract more students, many universities have lowered their requirements for English proficiency too far - some MA courses only need IELTS 5.0 score, and that's too low in my opinion. Of course these students struggle to complete courses that are supposed to be testing even for native speakers of the language. There's also the cultural issue that many overseas students are coming from education system that not only tolerate plagiarism, they encourage and require it. It's part of our Western culture to value the students' own words, but many non-Western teachers would say it's better if students can simply repeat the words of the 'expert' verbatim.

Provided you're not advertising a commercial product, you can post links here to Star Wars-related sites and whatever. Go ahead.

Great subtitle, Gorth. Now I hear the when I open the thread. It's morning. I've got up, and that's about it.

Thanks to this forum, I'm aware it exists. I've never played it either, though - not really into RTS games, though Starcraft was okay and I like Warcraft 2 I think it was.

It really wasn't very funny, was it? That's a shame, because I don't really think much of his taste or analytical skills and only really watch for the entertainment value.

And Prince Philip.

Perhaps the Massively Multiplayer Online part refers to the patching system?

Thank you for sharing that. I suppose it is better to close this thread as it's apparently giving people nightmares.

We still don't have a feel for the tone of the game. I mean, things like 'Bauer, Bourne and Bond' have been tossed around, but those are very different franchises that may or may not mesh well together and could surely do so in many different ways. Every little detail that gets released is scrutinised for what it means for the game as a whole. Perhaps that's not fair, but it's understandable.

Thank goodness for that. Now all we have to do is wait five months until the election.

You could put your money on melted cheese but only if it were paper. Coins would just sink through.

This thread gets one chance, and one chance only. Any racial insults or flaming and it will be locked. There is a serious discussion to be had on the way the hostility towards Denmark in the Muslim world has and will develop, so let's have that discussion.

What are the visible signs of trauma in a goldfish?
