Meh...half an hour after I post on his behalf, he gets past it...on his 22d try or some such. :D

I can barely see the sunglasses in that picture.

If I recall correctly: You needed to be Lightside or at least Neutral before you encounter the fight of Hanhar vs. Mira - maybe a bit before that, I don't remember. Mira doesn't offically join the party until t3's solo mission is done and you're ready to go to the yacht. If you're already on the yacht and she wasn't one of the options to take with you, and her picture isn't in the party selection screen (even if it's greyed out on the yacht)...dunno...either you were too dark sided at the start or it's a bug?

Oh, I don't mean that...that was bound to happen with a site that huge and so much in the spotlight. I'll miss old music videos if they disappear, but otherwise, don't care. What I do mean is...more rules about original content, more censorship of original content...v-blogs being pulled, for instance, just because they insult sponsers....becoming less about user submissions and more about company ads/videos...which it's already doing to a degree. YT has to become profitable...and it's certainly not so, as it stands (buyout not withstanding).

Just cause they bought one doesn't mean they're neccesarily going to give up on the other. YouTube is still a seperate entity that's not integrated into Google...at least for the moment. I wonder if YouTube will soon have all the fun leeched out of it.

He reached the point where you first get his ship, and there's a bunch of cut-scenes and then one of those ship combat sequences. Apparently he's not quick-fingered enough to get through it. Is there any way to get past it beyond having better reflexes? I had him try the console invulnerability code but that apparently doesn't affect the Ebon Hawk's vulnerability.

http://software.silicon.com/security/0,390...39162902,00.htm I'm just curious what people think of McAfee's position/accusation.

@ alan - You'll notice I used the word "eventually"....I also used 98 for sometime after XP's release, but eventually was "forced" to change when drivers became unsupported/obsolete for both hardware and software I wanted to use and all of that. While this is true of any tech as it advances, I'd switch away from MS "brand" in a heartbeat if another O/S could work for my needs/habits. But so far, none really do...at least not enough to be able to forgo Windows entirely. Thus...I "must" use and eventually keep upgrading Windows for lack of options.

It's just a cliff-hanger...I don't think it's definitive at all. It'd be more typical for the death of the "distinguished character" to be placed near the middle or end of the season. Assuming I'm thinking of the same thing as astrocreep, for all we know the I don't remember the previews tho...oh and I did read others speculating about possible regenerative powers from...ah, nvm, it's all speculation. On another topic, I just watched those 10 'resistance' shorts episodes the sci-fi site has. They were interesting backstory.

The problem is that if you like new software (that includes games), eventually it's a requirement to get WinBlows (in America, I can't speak for other areas). Or at least, it feels like it. I know there are other options, but... ...hopefully either Vista will be not as scary as it currently sounds, or it'll tank so badly MS will scramble to 'fix' it.

I personally like Charisma, but I was always a meleer, not a caster, thus the bonuses to Force stuff didn't matter to me much. And Force Storm/Lightning always worked just fine.

I haven't played Kotor1 either...well...I did play up to the point you get the Wookie, but that's it. :D

Nice blue eyes.

That one's a bit on the weird and wild side, yes. :D I don't get the mouth cover either - is it supposed to be a mask?

As much as I sometimes complain about little bits here and there in XP, I'd agree...it's certainly been the most stable version of Windows OS - which means I can go a lot longer without re-formatting.

Happy Birthday! ...I'm a Libra, as well. Whee.

I definitely won't be upgrading to Vista until something I want to use forces me to. I let other people be the version-guinea pigs. :D

You're probably correct. I still have many US-centric term-useage habits from another age. One of my favorite non-American films of all time. Better? :D

I had posted a reply with a link to that site that has modding tools but apparently I was a dufus and put it in the wrong thread. At any rate, I noticed that stoffe replied to one of your posts in the forum there. Did you try his things? I'm curious if they worked or not. I remember Stoffe used to frequent here from a year or more ago...very helpful and technically knowledgabe re: the game modding.

Ah...glad I didn't go mouthing off in great detail about anything, then. :D Not that I usually do, anyway...

Thanks, I'll add a couple of those specific things to my list to research. I'm not generally concerned with 'top of the line' either in fps speed-performance or pure expense...but I am really picky when it comes to graphics and resolution flexibility/performance/eyeball visual appeal. I do a lot more than play games and graphic capabilities has to reflect that.

1) Hey, really impressed, some very nice work. 2) I tend to prefer more neutral backgrounds for game portraits, as well, although as art on it's own I like the fancy backgrounds. Some of those would make good desktops if altered. 3) The retouched 'gold' looks a lot better. The first was too flat-yellow. The 2nd has better shadings and a better 'gold' color vs. simply yellow, to me. 4) I also think the dark background is a bit too much contrast to the gold, however. Part of this may be because his head is so low in the picture. If there was less space between his head and the top, the background might not be as distracting - course then you couldn't see much of it, either, heh. IMO, I think it looks better overall in terms of portrait use to have less space around the face/body, like the 1st and 2nd one you posted.

I remember liking the Arcanum demo, buying the game, and disliking the final product. But I didn't very far into it...maybe if I'd stuck with it. My husband is apparently bored (or unmotivated) and is installing Kotor1. It's the first game he's installed/played since trying Kotor2 last year. I'm amused. Me, still Summoner.

Ok...thanks, density removed from my person. More research needed now.

OK, backwards compatability, I think I can understand that. Most of the older games I'd want to play I wouldn't notice/care if it was slower performance or not, so DX9 emulation probably wouldn't bother me, really. Still not sure how that equates into the graphic card thing tho...older/current cards may become 'outdated' because they wont be as good at emulating older DX? I'm sorry if I'm being dense...
