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?

Because some of us have money to burn?

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.

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.

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

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.

I believe even my husband drew the line at renting that one.

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.

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.

The my music was my fault...forgot to allow permission. Size restriction...hmmm....odd.

Pop, you can directly upload music - there just isn't a seperate "upload music" button. Just use the Image upload Browse button and do it from there - all uploads work from that field. Should work. Let me know if it doesn't...if it doesn't, it's probably a server permission thing, and I can fix that. Edit: I checked the directory permissions, they're all fine. My non-Admin test account can upload music files. If it's not an upload field mix-up and anyone else is having this problem/gets an error when they try, let me know what the error says?

*scratches head* You should be able to upload music. Your game mp3's play just fine for me. Edit: Looked at them - I get what you mean, you didn't do a direct upload. Let me check..

Butterfly Effect2. Another of hubby's "I'll rent anything" finds. Terrible. Run away, run away as fast as you can.

Holidays. Yes I'm a Grinch.

....cool. I always thought he deserved more time in the ST movies. ....16 million in Neilson? Things are lookin' good for this series. I can't stand it when they cancel series that have decent fan-bases because of an outdated Neilson system. :angry:

Perhaps some are waiting for others to upload, first. I'll add a few things of mine, soon. I've been busy today with trying to beat holiday madness at stores, so hubby won't starve tomorrow.

"Fun" itself could be said to be an addiction, since in general the human race seems rather obsessed with the adrenline and psychological "rush" (or comfort...) that fun creates in our minds and bodies. Of course, what is fun to one person isn't fun to another... There's the possibility that some people are wired in such a way to be more easily addicted to certain chemicals/substances - by wired I mean through chemcial imbalances or other physical qualties that differ from what is currently percieved as the physical norm for human physiology. Sometimes the visible things (downword spiral from what's considered a "healthy productive" life) could perhaps be seen more as symptoms of the hard-wired aspect of addiction rather than the other way around - and after many years, one thing feeds off another and it becomes hard to distinguish the symptom from the root cause of the problem, if that makes sense. It's hard to say for sure sometimes, chicken and egg scenario perhaps, to coin a phrase. In terms of legalizing them - while I think they should be governmentally legal on the basis that it's illogical for this to be legal while that is not legal (the attempt of government to protect people from themselves is often so), realistically the legal route would only be effective in terms of stopping "drug crimes/wars" if prices were kept very cheap. It would do no good to make them legal and then end up having them be largely controlled by greedy companies or government itself who charge an arm and a leg/tax them at high rates so many still couldn't afford them. You'd then still have a black market. Giving them away for free...that might help in some ways, as already noted, and would avoid the affordability issue, but then it depends a lot on the quality of the stuff being given away. If it doesn't match what users think they/know can get, there still might be an eventual black market for higher quality stuff, if you know what I mean. Still, in theory it's possible in the long run many of the 'drug-war' things would be lessened from what is current. The only way to tell would be to try it. When fear keeps us from trying things, we'll never know/learn...thus I'd be for trying it...at least in measured trials and such, then widening the scope gradually if those seem successful.

I'm not sure how FTP access would help you upload music from other sites, if you don't have the songs on your HD to upload? I added an "Our Music" category under Creativity.

Certainly sounds like they're saying Kotor isn't in the graveyard forever. Who knows if that'll actually turn into a game...But it's a nice article for us who hope for one, thanks for sharing!

As if cats (or any other pets) don't have their own little...uh..quirks... I know what you mean tho.

You need Handmaiden for those, right? I've still never used Handmaiden, except briefly using a save of hubby's, once.

You need to worship Lady Crimson via PM to get upload rights. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL... I guess you can post an "add me" here, too...I just thought it would be easier (for me) to keep track of who wants to upload via PM's.

There's no romance in Kotor2 beyond a few quipped remarks and cutscenes - for example, if you're a female Exile Atton has a few possible cutscenes showing him expressing interest in the Exile to bao-dur and behaving jealous of Disciple. Supposedly Handmaiden and Visas had similar jealous potential plotline, but what little there was, was cut out in both cases. Some will be restored when the TSL Restoration Project is finished. You can read about that long on-going mod project here.

I'm assuming you can run other games in higher resolutions and it's not just a monitor resolution limit itself problem. But unfortunately I still don't really know...another frustrated poster made a thread recently on the topic; if you haven't already seen it, there's a couple suggestions in there, and one or two comments that some got it to work. All I can say myself is an echo of the last post in that thread - maybe it just depends on the monitor.

Join the Obsidian Frappr! ____________________________________________________________________ OE Forum Member Gallery The old gallery for reference: (no longer active) For those who missed my long-ago original thread and want to know what this gallery thing is about, here's that post. Anyone can register but if you want to be able to upload stuff/create your own "albums", please register at the gallery first then send me a PM here on the forum to let me know you'd like to have upload access. If you register with a different name than here on the forum, don't forget to mention that too. This is to keep it within the OE Forum "family." Ideas/suggestions for category additions or whatever else can be posted/discussed here or PM'd to me, either way. -------------------------------------------------------- April 23, 2008 - UPDATE: I changed the gallery program from 4images to Coppermine. It's easier on me. This changes some of the allowances and features, as detailed below: The gallery is now located here: http://oegallery.crimsonkeep.com/ OE members can now create their own albums in the 'Members Galleries' category and dictate whether any/all such albums are private/public/passworded. OE members can edit the title/description/keywords and delete files they've uploaded themselves, whenever they want, same as before. All registered members can use the 'Report to Admin" button for images or comments, which will send me an email if you think something is abusive, or if you just want to report something amiss. Thus if I miss any posts in this thread I'll still be informed of such. File extensions allowed have been expanded and currently include: .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .mp3, .wav, .txt, .pdf, .avi, .zip If your image is larger than the default display window size, an 'intermediate' version will be created to fit within the gallery borders - you can still see the full size image by clicking on the image. Max file size limit: about 15MB. Max image width or height: 1600px. As long as no one abuses the gallery by uploading their entire music/video collection at once/forever, it's all cool. Abusers will have their upload priviledge revoked. <_< If disk usage remains low, and enough people want the size limit increased, I'll consider it. You can no longer create your own personal thumbnail as there's no default option for that in Coppermine. Sound/video files are simply embedded ala Windows media player. When you upload a movie file, you can specify what size you want the viewing window to be. 640x480 is a good size. If you don't specify, it'll default to a small 320ish window. Linking: It's important to note that if you want to link to a specific upload page in Coppermine, you must use the permanent link (given in the file-info description below the photo/file), not the link you see in your browser window address line, which is variable and may change what it links to. Thanks, and have fun.
