As much as I like fantasy stuff, I wouldn't mind a RPG set in a more 'normal' world, either. Or if it does have the sci-fi/fantasy elements, the story is more centered around how a sudden entrance of sci-fi/fantsay/horror stuff affects the "normal" world, rather than it being or becoming the world, if that makes sense. Or, if you take the alien invasion theme so many FPS like to use as an excuse to shoot a million aliens, a game using the aliens perspective rather than the human one. I have a hard time really defining what I'd like, tho ... a lot of books/movies w/a fish-out-of-water theme would be hard to translate into a RPG, I think. Footfall (Niven and Pournelle novel) might be an interesting backdrop for a game theme, where you could switch back and forth between human and alien viewpoints/roles, but again, hard to translate into a RPG probably.

I've seen some w/Vista who seem to run Kotor2 ok. I suspect like with any major O/S change it'll vary between users and other equipment they use.

I've always wondered why the game was designed like that, in certain spots.

Thread slightly pruned. The joke went on a bit too long/off-topic ..

As they say ... thanks for playing.

The Departed. Considered all the hoopla it's had, it didn't seem all that. The ending 1/4 had a good pace and drama to it, and of course most of the acting was top notch. I might give it .. 6.5/10 perhaps. But then, I'm probably in that minority who doesn't care for Martin Scorsese films all that much.

Kingdom of Heaven. This is one of those movies that was "only ok" when I originally saw it. Upon re-watching, it played a lot better and I'd give it a much higher mark than I did originally. It was funny to see Lucias (sp?) from HBO's Rome in a small role during the 1st 30 minutes of the movie. I didn't know the actor when I first saw it, of course, so I was, like "oh oh! That's the guy from Rome". heh

If I understood right ... you don't get Disciple in the same spot as Handmaiden. He's on one of the 4 "main" planets; you have to discover him. Dantoonie I think? The one w/the crystal cave.

Watching Return of the Jedi inbetween minor chores. It looks nice in HD, but I wish HBO would stop playing the six SW films over and over every day and play some new stuff.

Update: Gallery2 sucks too much server CPU to be acceptable in my book, and the other large opensource gallery won't allow for hotlinkable thumbnails vs. the full size image, the way I prefer to do. I'd really like to be able to give users control over creation/administration of their own albums but for the moment I'm sticking w/the current gallery pending further research.

I've never really seen myself as taking a "side" in this game, even when I choose one.

Your post makes it sound like you have a downloaded (ie, not purchased) copy of the game. This isn't the place to be asking for advice on such. If I'm in error and you meant you downloaded the patches, feel free to PM me for further discussion.

Doom should definitely have been on there, even if not in the top 10. I guess Half-Life replaces it in their eyes ... bah.

A couple sound familiar, but I think most of the people I talked to a lot on the threaded boards didn't transfer over - or if they did, they changed their name. Or I forgot their name. Heck, I don't even remember what I was calling myself back then. heheh

There were a lot of recognizable people in guest spots or cameos in TNG. Kirk is more amusing, but yeah, Picard still wins.

I remember that episode, and thinking Okana was rather charming. If I'd remembered at the time, he would have made a good candidate for those "what actor could play Atton" threads of the past.

True enough. It's just on other lists I've seen, D2 is often used, probably because it's still played by a regular fanbase, and many think it surpasses the first as a genre game - which it probably does.

Ditto. Or my photography learning time. But...no. My limitations are still mostly my back. Other hobbies are better for and more kind to it. I don't think I'm a grown-up yet, myself.

I dunno...I kinda think if there's a Diablo on that list, it might be Diablo2, not the first one.

Agreed. I loved the first season. After that I steadily lost interest...it's still a fun show but not compelling enough to make me watch it regularly.

Love the first pic, great pose.

I wasn't there. :/ The BG1 board that I remember was threaded and no longer exists.

Sim2000? These lists are amusing. DungeonKeeper should be on that list, hehee

I realized on my monitor at least, the seagull one is too green because I tried a different color profile. I've been struggling with RAW browsers and which one is the right one for me; the post-processing affects things sooo much. This digital vs. film PP stuff and color profiles etc. is something I'm still not used to and confuses me greatly. The attachment is just to show how different the color can be (from the previously posted version) just by changing a couple settings in the RAW browser - no other photshopping done. There is no true consistency between programs/printers/software even using the same named settings, and it seems to me one can only hope for decent exposure and sharpness. Not surprising perhaps, but frustrating to someone like me w/really picky color-accuracy desires. Edit: Here's another seagull pic - it's not a great pic by any means w/the focus being off, but I like the captured flying moment. Gorgeous morning here - if I can manage to stay awake long enough I'm going to try taking some pics during a park walk later today.

Since The Sims won't be in the top 10, I'm fairly content ... I agree about Oblivion & more time should pass - we're talkin' all time here, not 'best of the past couple years'. WoW - I'm not sure about that one, unless they're mostly giving it a nod for being a really really successful MMORPG in a market full of not so successful ones.
