Eh? Read manuals? Are you mad?

Yeah, I do see where the trends of building housing closer and closer and closer together could eventually be a problem, for many things, not just the cig smoking. I think more an more apartments around here are disallowing smoking in their units. Shades of Asimov's Caves of Steel... Still against such regulation or laws, however. You cannot protect human beings from our own tech convienences, all the time. Not yet, anyway. If they ever do get as good at environment processing ala Asimov's books, then perhaps.

Hmm...well if SW Knights doesn't host you I might be able to rig something up for you. It wouldn't be fancy, probably a blog script or some such with you installed as a member so you could alter/add stuff etc.

I like Skeeter's Junkyard too, although I'm not sure incoming members will understand it, thus I'm going to go with Skeeter's Tech Plaza as my first choice, instead. Skeeters Tech Plaza Skeeters Junkyard

If neighbors can take smokers to court because the smoker smoking in their own house/backyard is a 'bother', then I should be able to take my neighbors to court for wearing perfume or planting very perfumy flowers, which I'm highly sensitive to (breathing, sometimes small rashes) and can smell/be affected from many yards away. And BBQ'ing. All that smoke and pollution drifting into my backyard and my windows. Enclosed (or very close quarters, like concerts) public area bans I agree with and don't mind. Laws which are expressly for making it easier for neighbors to sue 'annoying neighbors' for possible 'future lung endangerment' I do not. Too easily abused, for one thing.

This quest is unfinishable in the 'normal' game. There is a 3rd party fix for it if you're playing on the PC. You can find the link to that fix and more info in this thread.

*tosses sand up into the air* Well, I think this one has reached an end.

There was one time it wouldn't let me through for a while either. I think it's just a glitch. I didn't start over tho...I just ran around, kept hitting it and eventually it worked. I might've reloaded a save several times.

Most sci-fi shows follow the monster/tech problem of the week formula. Most detective shows (CSi etc) follow the same murder/mystery/solve formula. I dunno...to me most shows are mostly about whether you like the characters & chemistry between them. The plots are always recycled.

House, 2nd season on DVD. Yay. Saw the first 2 discs last night...good stuff. I love House. I don't watch them when they come on the air; I hate commercial interruptions. hehe.

That particular secret never worked for me either (PC).

I just use the lightsabers. They're pretty. I did sometimes like to have my npc party members be gunslingers tho...it made sense to have them stand behind and back me up rather than getting in my way as they tried to charge into the fray. :D

For all I know hubby's using one of his Linux systems as the network hub. Sigh. oh well, I don't want to mess with it that much, I'll probably just wait for the actual game and hope that works. Disappointing. Thanks for trying to help.

I'm supposed to be the admin on this computer. I'll check tho..sometimes XP defaults to something else when you're trying to install the darn thing... I just had a thought - the game uses MS-Netframework2.0 - if hubby's computers, that controll the networks, is still using 1 - would that be it, maybe? I dunno, w/the browser window thing, seems like it was trying to check something w/their servers, like you having a legit copy of the demo or something. Meh...this is why I hate demos. edit: I used the shortcut properties to run it as the PC/winxp admin and it still errors.

After HOURS at 10kps from Sierra, I finally had the demo downloaded. I let it install a bunch of stuff. I try to play the demo. The first time I hit 'play' it pops open a browser window and looks like it's trying to connect to something, but can't. I get this error msg every time I click on 'start new game': I went to their support page. They said to try clicking on a file in the program directory. I do so. It pops up with a dos window (attached pic). I don't understand what it means. Demo still gives me the error and crashes. I'm on a local network, I'm behind a firewall. Is that what they mean by admin access or are they talking about some Windows admin setting? I'm getting annoyed, as usual.

Actually Atton usually does indicate he likes your actions through dialogue - tho it's true not all his 'stuff' is actually initiated by dialogue. It's just not always obvious, perhaps. Like one early one he'll say stuff like "Well just warn me next time." after you've done something then replied the right way (for influence gain) when he harps on you about it. Also, if you gain influence the game is supposed to tell you via the GUI - with little noises and flashing red or green +/- signs on the screen - again, not always really obvious if you're busy looking elsewhere. And if you have certain GUI options turned off, they won't show up much either. Bao-Dur is the hardest to influence because there are no dialogue tree options like w/the others, he has to be in your party during certain events every time. Or at least, I think every time. It's been a while. Kreia - all I can say is either look at a walkthrough spoiler site, or save before every major conversation with her, so you can reload if you don't get the influence you want. Influencing Kreia, btw, won't make her align with your light/dark self, like w/the others.

Not having actually gotten very far as a male Exile, my opinion is based on watching hubby play and on info from around the net - but to me it seems they're essentially the same. The only difference is that fans react differently to the NPC's backstories and voice-acting. I could say I prefer Disciple's story and possible future/s as outlined by Kreia, but far as that affects the SWUniverse...I'm not sure it does, since who's to say that if you're female & pick Disciple, that the Handmaiden wouldn't at some point find another person or another way to achieve many of the things she does from meeting the male Exile...or vice versa?

I think I shall forestall further debate on the Force bowel powers....

Heh..I paid the few dollars. No tag. But yeah..it still only goes up to 1100 or so, I think. If you go higher it cuts the size in half. Still useful at times for getting those impossible action ones tho.

Yeah but w/Frappr you can record a movie, open it up in some editor, then grab ANY frame that you choose...or all of them.

Considering they're artwork from a licensed game that anyone can grab screenies from with a program like Frappr, well...I don't think it's neccesarily so that he 'stole' them or anyone else 'stole' them from him. I'm not sure you can 'steal' a game screenshot, really...Only so many frames in the movies or cutscenes or backgrounds, for example; people are bound to capture the same ones from time to time. Besides, game-screens - they're not your art to copyright. (Fan-art, of which I saw a few in those galleries, is a different beast) ...good job at capturing the screens tho. I know it's hard to catch some of them, especially in-game action ones.

Yes! Another Buscemi fan! If it's the right bow and arrow, of course. I remember a highschool chum dragging me to see Rambo2 at the drive-in, and then she complained that the drive-in wasn't dark enough and you couldn't see all the gushy-violent parts.

He's pulling ahead now...I put my vote in. GoTo, the useless wonder. He did have a fun voice tho.

*gets excited* Wait...I got excited about Children of The Nile, too... *downloads the demo anyway* I've been waiting for this for yearrrrrrrrrrs. Nice to see Keith Heitmann is still the forum dude... Edit: Must be popular - downloading at 9.1kb/ps.... <_< Maybe I'll try later.

I remember when futons first became a 'rage'. I wanted one, they seemed useful and cool. Then I realized how uncomfortable most of them are to actually sit or lie on. Occasionally there's one that's cool, but most of them are awful. Tho still better than the average sofabed.
