Three screen computing with any graphics card
I wouldn't be able to stand the 'lines/borders' between the screens in the image, tho I like the angled/rounded arrangement they were using in the article intro.

I need a new brain. Anyone have one to spare?

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I bought this film (used, so only $ because I remembered someone on this forum saying it was decent. It was ok, not as funny as I thought it would be, and movies about cute kids never enthrall me....but it's probably the 1st film where Afleck didn't annoy the stuffing out of me. And I liked Cube. But it's certainly not for all tastes. And Cube2 sucked.

As long as it's not "American Cheese" you'll probably be all right. "

Sometimes I read these threads and all I'm thinking is "huh?" ^_^

Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic
So this is a FP action/combat game set in the M&M universe? I wonder if the shrinking thing is their shrink ray spell. I loved that spell, it was so funny. I imagine it'd be 100x better w/that kind of engine.

The funny videos thread
Works fine for me.

What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about food too. I need to go to the store. I'd like to buy a lot of junk food but alas I shall probably end up with more salad fixings (I miss being 16 and able to eat anything!). And maybe some Doritos. I like their salsa verde or whatever, flavor. Seriously. :D

Robes and Hoods
Hoods that you could pull up and down would definitely be cool. As to the robes - I only really liked the padawan/Jedi ones (K2). The Knight/Master ones, and most of the rest, were a wee too - odd - looking for my tastes.

favorite star wars movie
I agree about the fight scenes, but that just comes with the territory of years passing and tech advancing. It doesn't make them special. If anything, filmmakers are coming to rely on those effects too much, kinda like pcgames and graphics.

I watched Ep3 a few days ago...
I think that was GL's attempt at keeping the mushy stuff to a minimum. At least, when compared to the middle prequel. :D

An Exercise In Style
Interesting atmosphere, you get a real sense of the wan and tired days of this guys life. I like the very ending. Oh and... *laugh*

I watched Ep3 a few days ago...
I definitely vote No on the "Nooooooo." The Yoda/Palpatine endfight, I was laughing so hard the entire time, what with all the "evil" cackling 'ol Palpy was doing. So over-done it almost reaches goodness, in a certain kind of way. But I think that was the best of the prequels...it was fun to watch visually at least.

Rate my story
I'd definitely read a sequel or revision if you wanted to write one. I like vampire/horror type stories. Tho I never did get into Anne Rice. I read it on-line in about 8 minutes. If I printed it on paper it'd be less; reading on-screen is always slower for me. I may read somewhat faster than average, but the length seems fine for a 'fast read' intent.

I'm glad I don't care about spoilers for this show.

Which is the coolest opening crawler?
Continuous off-topic spam talking about too much spam is still spam and disrupts the thread. Thread pruned a little.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed
To prune or to close, that is always the question...

Deadwood thread
Never saw it. At least, I don't think so. Sometimes I turn on the TV and something is on, and I watch it a while w/out ever knowing what it is, then I turn it off. I've been watching Eureka tho. It's all right.

Picture Thread 2006
That comment (and picture) just cries out for more photoshopping....if only I wasn't so tired...

The multiplayer factor...
There was initially some gripes about GW for that reason - they bought it because of the Guild WARS (PvP/arena) and the idea that they could instantly make a top lvl chr and jump into the fray, and then discovering in order to create a truly unique character they had to play the PvM game to level up/grind and find stuff. I don't think The Architect was suggesting that Kotor3 (if there ever is one) should be a multiplayer game. Just that it had a simple option for players to ener a static arena and pummel each other with their sabers. Something akin to what Drakan tried to do, perhaps.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Went out to dinner and saw PotC2. The ending was kinda fun, plus a few other funny moments, but eh...the first one was a lot better. I don't think I'd call the 2nd one trash, but it's pacing was way off.

Rate my story
Story concept and battle imagery: 8 Writing, grammatical flow and emotional impact: 4.5 I mean absolutely no offense, but the flow of the sentences/paragraphs feels too staccato and abrupt, which isn't my thing. It's too much sterile description of only the action and not enough of the characters emotional/thought reactions or involvement, if that makes sense, leaving me with little to draw me to the character/s. In terms of flow, if I may make a suggestion: I find reading my stuff out loud, like you're reading a speech for a class, helps me find spots that may feel too jarring. Of course, that's just my own preferences and opinion - figuring out your own voice is the most important thing. Keep at it and you may have something here.

The multiplayer factor...
I don't know any on-line game that costs $40 a month. $15-20 usually. US dollars that is. I understand/respect the principle of not wanting to pay, but for me, I pay more than that for a pizza so I if I really want to play something, I don't mind the cost to at least try it for a while.
