I hope this is true. I know a number of people on these forums, myself included, think there should be more RPGs set in the real world, either the modern day or in history, and without magic or 'the Force' or whatever it was called in Mass Effect. I think it opens more possibilities than it closes.

I have a really sore foot and can barely walk. I think I must have kicked the wall or something when I was asleep. :sad: I guess it's time to hit the Panadol again.

To reduce confusion, I'm going to lock this one. Please continue the discussion in the 2.0 thread.

Congratulations, guys. You're in the final stretch now (I guess?).

While I suppose there are some who would argue that any kind of cull is cruel, that's hardly a mainstream position, and certainly not one I'd support. I agree that this doesn't sound like a very humane method of carrying out the cull, and would prefer something else (for example, that the dogs be shot with tranquilizers and then 'put to sleep'), however this isn't a rich part of India and you'd need to consider the possible expense of this method and the drain on vital services to the human population it might entail. I don't know much about it, but it's possible poisoning was chosen because it was cheap and easy to do? They carried out a kitten cull where I live last year, and that was done with tranquilizer darts and a sack. There were complaints, but those were mostly because the residents weren't warned and so some neighbourhood children, quite small ones, saw what was happening and were upset by it. Speaking of cruelty, true cruelty is putting a link to a very funny comedy programme in your sig, but one that can only be accessed if you're resident in the UK. That's just plain mean. :sad:

Good on him. If your graveyard is full, you need to extend it, and if the courts won't allow you to do so, get the international media in to embarrass the hell out of them until they start doing their job.

This is the one where 'Cheat Node' appears, right? There used to be a fix for this on the Team Gizka website here, but they seem to have removed it as their mod release date approaches. I believe it's possible to avoid it by choosing certain dialogue options before and possibly after the error appears, so give that a try. Otherwise, does someone have the old fix for this?

As an aside, since the issue of other possible outcomes of WWII was raised, BBC7 (radio) has a dramatisation of Fatherland, set in a fictional present-day Britain in which Hitler won the war: Link.

Me either, but I'm learning that I have a lot to be grateful to him for. Link.

It affects us, and so we discuss it. What's wrong with that? US citizens are free to ignore outside views, of course.

I don't know much about Vista, as I only used it for a very short while before deciding to stick with XP, but I do remember problems saving games and configuration settings in old non-Vista games. Although this is risky, you might try turning some of Vista's security features off, but I can't tell you which ones - someone who's more familiar with Vista might know.

One of the saving graces of this press-state agreement was that it was clearly time-limited, and had Harry served his full tour of duty and finished, then the press would have been free to report - not his exact location or unit strength, of course, but the fact that he was there and the various issues that raises. More generally, we're always being told that this is 'a new kind of war', and to an extent that is true, so we can't automatically transfer any of the assumptions or practices from previous wars over to this, not without considerable caution. I think it's already the case that the politicians in the US and UK have sought to appeals to national security to stifle press investigation of their handling of wars and their aftermaths for their own political convenience rather than any genuine security reason, and as a result both Afghanistan and Iraq are worse today than they might have been.

I've been tossing and turning and coughing and sniffing when I should have been sleeping. I desperately need some shut-eye, and the thought of Tale becoming a (presumably armed) policeman is not going to help much.

I like the show but haven't been able to watch much since the second season. I think I've caught bits of the third, but apparently there are lots of cast changes after that and I'm not sure I want to investigate - Stargate SG-1 didn't really survive its cast changes, and that's with actors (Ben Browder and Claudia Black) that I really quite like.

You're not running Vista by any chance, are you?

There are some fixes in the FAQ here. You might also try the LucasArts Kotor 2 Tech Support Forum here: they tend to have more tech-savvy people than we do, and produce more solutions.

I'm not happy that someone who wishes to serve his country is prevented from doing so, but I'm also not happy with the press conspiring with the state to keep secrets. I think it might be okay just this once, but I wouldn't want it to become a habit.

On the Jeddah-London BMI flight, the attendants come round serving wine within five minutes of the plane taking off - beer too, of course, but most people seem to go for the wine.

I'm playing SimCity 4. I miss all the messages about kitty kibble. :sad:

I suppose when your company is going belly-up and you and all your friends have just lost their jobs, hiring a proof-reader for your final press release might be low-ish on your list of priorities. So, was Titan Quest any good? I think that might be one of the ones I skim past on RPGWatch because I don't know anything about it.

Are there any other games made with Unreal 3 that I might have heard of, just to give me an idea of what it might look like?

There's already far more to do, read and enjoy than can possibly be done, read and enjoyed in one lifetime, and that's not even counting what current and future generations will produce and what I myself might produce. I can't imagine how one could get bored living forever.

I buy my games from whichever on-line site doesn't go into a weenie panic as soon as it detects where I'm ordering from.

Now come along, EA has said it was awfully sorry for destroying Origin and Bullfrog, and I think we should all take it at its word and move on.

Jolly good. *heads off to Wikipedia to find out who Dennis Kucinich is*
