EU question: is this continuity?
The Great Phantom replied to Plano Skywalker's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Sadow was an impulsive fool... Marka Ragnos should have designated a more... worthy... successor instead of leaving the Sith's fate to... well, fate. -
I'll be tempted to call him up and laugh at him if LA decides not to make a Kotor III... right after crying like a two year old girl with a boo-boo... :ph34r:

My class for C++ is almost over, too, but next year I get to take AP Java, so I'm good... Most of the code on games I've checked out are in C++, or something relatively similar to the C++ I recognize... You calculate the angles of light off of your dad's head? I'm stuck throwing paper balls and my friends, looking at the way they bounce off of their foreheads... :ph34r:

The site's a scam, likely that guy trying to cash out should LA try to make a Kotor III...

NPC Information that is hard to discover
The Great Phantom replied to epeeist's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Nope. Kreia wasn't Revan's Sith Master. She just told him the same thing that Palpy told Anakin: "Not from a Jedi..." AKA, she was teaching him that the Jedi are far too biased(sp?). But, she was a loony bird named Harold the whole time, so who cares? -
Elves eat dirt?

If you're a fan, then Zelda's for you... just ignore the cartoon graphics, and the underwater Hyrule scene is awesome. Man, I still need to finish that game...

Oh, yes. I always carry one of those around with me. (Sorry, off topic) If you cut open your computer with an axe, then no sparks fly (unless it's plugged in, but then let's hope the axe handle's not metal, or you'll be the spark.)

I have no 'favorite' Edition. I just play whatever everybody else is... (I'm sorta new to actual P&P D&D, so I haven't exactly explored all of the Editions, but I've played around with 3.5 and 2. My friends like 2 the most, though)... :ph34r:

I know what that feels like!! I had my English literature exam this morning. Anyone ever read "To Kill A Mockingbird"? Here's a quote from the book- "In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life." P.S So this isn't a spam post here's some useless information- "You learn something new everyday" Not today eh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> TKAM was one of the most boring books ever written. The only good part was the trial. Everything else was just fluff... Many people are born with extra body parts (from the odd 6th finger to various other... anatomical discrepencies...) :ph34r: Virginia schools' summer break is only 1 and 1/2 of a month long, and their winter break is only 1 week. No added time anywhere else... <_<

Why can't Elves and Humans live in peace? Oh, that's right... We need to rule everything OUR way... I like Elves, and I do believe that they may be a bit over powered. I have no clue how to fix it, though... Perhaps you could explain it away with having your character being an Elven Prince (since in most D&D games, Elves desend from their gods directly, this would make them uber powerful). That was a waste of a post, no? :ph34r:

Another thread like this got to about 30 pages, and nothing was ever figured out. If I could, then I'd be tempted to lock this thread before another controversy comes up. So, anybody want the link to the above-mentioned thread? Let me know, and maybe I'll find the time to dig it out.

How about: Chranza Ipotlowuatl (In Meso-American style) Timano Husperi Enarmo Death to Humankind Short Migit People of Doom Most of those are the singular form, but I suppose they could all be plural form. I could make more names off of the top of my head if you want.

Fibonacci's real name was Leonardo Pisano, but he liked to use the name "Bigollo", which may mean good-for-nothing or a traveller in the Tuscan dialect. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And it means basically the same thing in English! :ph34r:

Wow... in the 3 weeks that I haven't checked this thread out, it's gone from 20 pages to almost 40. :ph34r:

Yes, Another Morrowind Thread
The Great Phantom replied to BicycleOfDeath's topic in Computer and Console
I would have added in more of the backstory, but I was taking an exam at the time... :ph34r: I'll try to get around to the Bloodmoon Story (2 sides to it, which makes it fun) a little later on. -
Yes, Another Morrowind Thread
The Great Phantom replied to BicycleOfDeath's topic in Computer and Console
I'm going to give spoilers, so... You start off on a prisoner barge being sent to Morrowind. While there, you're realesed (sp?), and given a mysterious coded letter to take to one of the Emperor's spies (the Emperor's a good guy, so don't worry). Later on, after helping the Spymaster, you find out that the Emperor himself sent you to fulfill the prophecy of the Nerevarine (why he'd want to send somebody that was supposedly supposed to overthrow the Empire's hold on the Dark Elf Island is anybody's guess). So, you have to go find the Cult of the Nerevarine, and go on a series of quests to see if you really are the Nerevarine. I don't remember all of them, so I'll skip ahead. If you're 'good', then eventually Vivec (one of the Dark Elf god-kings) asks to see you personally. You go, and he talks about his past, and you in a previous life. He confesses to betraying you, with the 2 other god-king/queen s, and gives you 2 versions of the tale of Nerevar's death. One of them involves Dagoth killing Nerevar (or something like that), the other (true-er) one involves all of Nerevar's (your) friends betraying you to become gods. They both are extremely biased, but I chose to believe Vivec's version (that he says, not one of the 2 written ones), because it has a combo of the 2 versions. Plus, Vivec seemed really sorry for what he'd done (sorta like that whole Immortal, can't die even when I want to thing). So, he gives you a glove, and sends you to find the 2 other pieces to a set of devices made to cut power from Lorkhan's (the Aedra/diety that tricked the other Aedra into creating the world, thereby making them mortal and weaker than the Daedra, who are still Immortal) Heart. You go about and get the tools, killing Dagoth's brethren (thereby weakening him in the process), and you finally fight Dagoth Ur. He tries to trick you into joining his side (in the crappy Morrowind-style Dialog: only problem with the game, really, imho), but to no avail. You kill him once, but since he's so close to the Heart (the source of his and the 3 God/Kings power), he's waiting for you in the Heart Chamber. You destroy the Heart, and kill Dagoth (or levitate and watch as the mortal Dagoth jumps into the lava far below ), and the whole place caves in. On your way out, Azura (The Daedra/Goddess of Twilight and Mysteries, and also Nerevar's, thereby your, patron goddess) appears and a neat little FMV plays, and the main storyline is complete. I'm almost out of time for now, but I'm going to try and throw in the Tribunal story: You're attacked by assassins in your sleep, and you go out to figure out who's trying to kill you. Eventually, you find your way to Mournhold, the city of Almalexia (another Dark Elf goddess, and Nerevar's former lover). You go about, seeking the Dark Brotherhood's (payed assassins) hideout. You find a decree from the King himself saying that a handsome fee goes to whoever kills you, and you go to confront the King. He apologizes, and says that he had heard that you were a rival for the throne, and offers you a 'job'. You can either accept and do a few side quests, or decline and go work for Almalexia's priests (who hated me because I wore their armor, so I did the King thing). Either way, you eventually have to help Almalexia (as a spy, if you did the King thing). She has you galavant about (through her head priests), and you have to do the Midieval thing and kill a few heretics (or let them flee to safety, faking thier deaths), and eventually you have to prove her might (for her...), and journey into a city-under-the-city (where a few robot-things came up previously, attacking the courtyard. You had to help the guards, and report back to King or Goddess, and it goes on from there). You need to journey deep into it, and find a weather-controlling magic machine. You cause ash storms, and the people worship Almalexia, hoping to releave themselves of this plague. She's happy, and sends you to put your Sword back together (it was rumored it could kill a god, and it belonged to Nerevar at his death). You do this, and re-enchant it via some fire stuff from a Daedric Temple, and go back to her. She spills the beans, then and there (almost re-declaring her love for Nerevar aka you), and tells you that Sotha Sil (the Sorcerer Dark Elf god, and the last of the 3) has gone insane, and must be killed. She sends you to his city, and you fight your way through to Sotha's chamber. You walk in to see Sotha Sil hanging on one of his contraptions, mangled (in full detail, but no blood... ). You, most likely, get angry at Almalexia and turn to storm out. On your way, though, she appears. It turns out, she was the insane one, and she wants to become the ONE GOD of the Dark Elves, and you're the only challenge in her way (even Vivec is puny compared to her, apparently...). You fight, she dies, the Ash Storms go away (again...), and all are happy. If you tell anybody that she and Sotha Sil are dead, then they hate you (HERETIC! ). On your way out of Almalexia's temple, Azura meets you again. She proclaims the danger of having a god(dess) with Mortal flaws, and praises you. -
For the Invisible man to go invisible, he would have to have bended light around him... Caeser and Cleopatra were an 'item' in the tabloids way back 'in the day'... :ph34r:

I'll blindly trust LA with ONLY Kotor III... Maybe Episode III the game... And maybe that one RTS... But then I'm laying of the rushed LA games... Kotor III should be good, or else LA's going to have one heck of a reputation to piece back together.

Can you still go back to Ascalon City after the Searing part? If not, then I'll probably hang around there for a LOOOOONG time before leaving my Guild members behind...

My friend just got it about 2 days ago, and she's getting up at 4 in the morning just to play it, so she convinced me to get it. Besides, it's a new fantasy realm, and one that has not yet been (really close) to ruin via things like 'psionics' ('inner magic'? Isn't that sorta like having Draconic blood? Did they have to make it so telepathic sounding??? :ph34r: ) I'll get it, mainly because of the no-fee thing.

Which nerds are the most tragic?
The Great Phantom replied to Kaftan Barlast's topic in Way Off-Topic
I fall under (theoretically) D&D bum and SW nerd... Harry Potter's good, but it's not THAT good. So I picked them. :ph34r: -

There is a lobster in Georgia (I think...) that is half albino, and half female. It looks odd (sorta yin-yang ish). :ph34r:
