  1. An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore's documentary (and kind of a mini-bio in parts) about global warming. I liked it a lot, well thought out and presented, with some nice bits of humor here and there. I dunno if he'd have made a great President or not, but he's a good speaker, that's for sure.
  2. Very fun, Drabek. Pop, I moved your song uploads to the Misc folder under Music-we-listen-to. I'd prefer to keep non-member recorded music seperate. Edit: Someone mentioned avatars - I made a category for avatars/small funnies under Misc that can be directly hotlinked. Please keep uploads to that folder small....thanks. :D
  3. Hi, welcome to the boards. To help keep posts on this topic focused, we have a long-running series of threads for Kotor3 ideas, suggestions and discussion. The current thread is here. I hope you'll re-post your intriguing idea there for others to discuss.
  4. I don't think cult is always 100% definied solely by success at the box office...but I still must agree that neither of those is 'cult" in terms of the film itself. A cult group of fans dedicated to some particular thing within/of those film worlds, perhaps. But not the films. And the only movies I've seen recently are very bad ones on Sci-Fi's weekend movie marathon run.
  5. I blame Comcast.
  6. Thread pruned. A little spam goes a long way...
  7. @ Wistrik - that's a nice swashbucklin' pimpin' hat, there. :D @ Deadly_Nightshade - awesome seconded. Nice work!
  8. Here's another one. It's not funny, but I find it less distracting. I like their point about "startle reflex," too. Alas, less distracting didn't mean a better time for me. Still doing an average of .2 :D http://lethalpenguin.net/host/136/
  9. I said both. If I have a choice, I'll usually play female for the first run. Unless they're really fugly, then I may go with the male first... If there's an actual reason to try the other gender (plot points or chr. skills) and I like the game enough to play it more than once, I'll pick the other later. Occasionally I might pick gender based on the character I'm creating - ie if I wanted a Drizzt-based chr. I'd pick male. But that's not too typical for me, since I don't roleplay to that level very much.
  10. I'd suggest getting the sound to work and seeing if the error still remains - if it still errors, well, then you know it's not a sound issue and can go from there. And Windows/game errors are frequently generic, unhelpful messages that could indicate a lot of possible stuff. Perhaps they "should" be more specific, but they usually aren't.
  11. "opening" in Di's case - when your opponent in fencing/swords/whatever makes an attack or defensive move that leaves them open to a counter-attack. Or something like that. Anything else is subject to personal interpretation. "
  12. Memory test? I don't even have to take that one to know my score. Automatic fail. Edit: Well I tried it, but every time I try to take the last part, when I'm done choosing the 48, the site just takes me back to the "take this test" page, with no results given.
  13. Some of us don't care about getting over 30FPS. As to electricity - I probably consume more with the lamps I have on 12-24 hours a day. But yeah...the P4 is definitely a more sluggish performer in games in tests. Still work/ed fine for us average joes who aren't tuned to really notice much difference in-game between "benchmarks." I'm eager to try the new stuff by now, tho.
  14. lol...that's great. I tried twice and so far only .2 for me.
  15. I agree...the marked stretching of the links over the chest is graphically distracting, at least in those screenshots. I've seen female 'lycra-chain armor' without nearly as much stretch - could've done better there, definitely.
  16. Indeed it does. Re: BE - the premise was interesting and the actor did ok...and it had some cool moments...but in the end it was a pretty ordinary "what if" motion picture. I was kinda of disappointed with it, really. But it was a movie classic compared to BE2.
  17. That was always my thought, as well. Not great, not bad, just average/adequate. In terms of games anyway. Unless he meant bad in relation to NWN2?
  18. Because some of us have money to burn?
  19. Perhaps somewhat unbalanced if you're into power gaming...but I never needed either 18 in CON or INT to win the game. Which isn't to say that the game isn't unbalanced in certain areas - combat being one of them, imo - I just don't think the stats are that horrifically so.
  20. Heh, yeah, the turkey itself isn't the big hassle - well, except for thawing it out if you buy a frozen, and in much of the US, it's hard to not buy a frozen - but the whole dinner thing...I like one dish-meals/stir fries vs. lots of side dishes. When I'm the cook anyway. Never tried to cook a ham from scratch. I think most people here buy it precooked and just heat it up with a bit of sauce coated over it.
  21. I made a turkey a couple times. The first one turned out great, the 2nd ok, and after that, I deemed it too much hassle for just 2 people. But it was kinda fun. And certainly tasty, especially the sandwiches the next day. This year I bought a pre-cooked deli chicken. hahahah
  22. Still bucking the trend w/non-NWN2 pics... 1 - citizens catch on fire, they run to the nearest fountain 2 - what happens when you build a hi-pop city and need to suck up unemployed workers 3 - just another desert storm scenery pic. Traders and cartpushers apparently need no protection from blasting sand clouds.
  23. I believe even my husband drew the line at renting that one.
  24. When you use an editor it's always a good idea to copy the savegame you're editing to another location before you edit. That way if something goes wrong you can at least copy the original save back and either try to edit it again or play w/out doing so.
  25. I got it...should work now. Apparently a given image size restriction also applies to the media files for non-Admins - thus the 900kb was applying to the sounds for the usergroup but not for me - I thought there was no size restriction for them. <_< I increased the apparently user-universal upload limit to 10MB. Is that big enough? Edit: Apparently not, lol. ReEdit: Increased to 16MB, updated the first post.
