Yup...about the same age. :D Tho if you're 35, then I was off in my math by one year. Make that 9 or 10, then. Teach me to try and be 'cute' w/my answer. Eh...doesn't matter, close enough for tellin'. lol It's all a blur. "

This thread is causing a disturbance in the Force. " I was 8 or 9 when Star Wars was first released (I don't remember if it was a summer or winter release...).

I have to agree w/Baley - based purely on photos I've seen, not personality placed on top of photos, Nick looks nothing like Atton. There really isn't anyone that looks like atton to me, yet - there's only men who kinda have his attitude stance/expression/body-shape, and such. No real face look-a-likes, to me. Course, that could be cause he's a cartoon.... "

0.o That's bloody marvelous, that Atton/Exile strip. I love it. Finally went to your site, too, and I also love the Disciple panels #11, #39, and #45. Especially #11. I always love that bit in the game. Oh and that T3 part1/2 is hilarious. :D Edit - and the one of Exile walking away from Kavar...that one too...

I think she needs a belt or those pants are going to fall down. :D Like her expression. In fact, I always like the expressions you create.

All of the old Star Trek is cheesy. It was the late 60's after all. The episode was called "Obsession" I keep wondering why Yoda doesn't battle the bad Jedi more often. He seemed to do pretty well tossing back the dark side lightning and stuff, which in the movies at least, is what they use to show how much 'easier power' the dark side gives. They should teach that trick toss-back-the-lightning to the students.

That man does have a 3/4 profile a lot like Di's. I think I'll pull out Kotor2 and play it a little today. I miss Di's inane battle cries. hehe

Don't 'dis my blondie boy, darth. :D Oh wait...I do it all the time - never say luv and dissing don't go together...hah! He's rather upset at me for abandoning him for GW right now tho. I like the new pic, Kyla - he looks his age, more! Although, since I'm 'old' I kinda like the fact he looks older in-game. hehe Cheers.

Nil is just a big energy vampire. Kirk could beat him down with an anti-matter bomb. :D

I didn't cry at that point in the movie...I sniffled. I was really impressed with the whole 'sacry wolf pack' scene in terms of Disney animation etc. and then he comes charging in to rescue her - loved how he wasn't super-beast in that instance and collapsed. The end made me sniffle too, but didn't effect me the same emotionally. And I hated what they did to the Little Mermaid's ending. I refused to see it in the theater because of that - finally rented it once...couldn't stand it. At least B&Beast they tried to make a little darker.

Disney's Beauty & the Beast, when Beast saved Belle from the wolves and then collapsed, I sniffled. End of Empire Strike Back (I was a wee lass then) I shed some tears but no sniffling - same with end of Return of the Jedi and the whole Luke/Vader/Anakin thing.. End of Wrath of Khan when Spock dies I was near sobbing. Braveheart - even tho it's ending was pretty over the top (the rest was great tho), it still got to me. Rob Roy in a couple spots made me tear up a bit. Lots more, can't think of 'em off hand. Not too many in the last several years, tho.

If you're referring to the cutscenes where Atton and Di bicker and such, those are triggered by having MORE influence with Disciple than Atton (cause, y'know, Atton gets jealous if you show 'ol blondie more favor...). Somewhere around, say, 30-40% more influence on Di's side (ie, around 2 influence encounters worth).

I did have it fudge up on me once there, before you get to that 2nd area. Although mine didn't take me to the Onderaon trigger, it just got all wonky and I had to re-boot. But that was it. Always worked otherwise - when I reach the bend that leads to the 2nd area, I hug the left side 'wall' to reach the first spawn point. Then go from there. Also, you can save before actually charging into the first fight, after the cut-scene where Kreia tells you 'must go help 'em' - if it fudges up, you can re-load.

On the one hand, I hate bumping up an old topic, even if it is my own. On the other, I hate making a new topic just to say something, so... Anyway, I've become caught up in Guild Wars for a while so it's unlikely you'll see much from me personally for some time. But that doesn't mean I'm abandoning the place - it'll be there for at least 6 years, used or not, hahaha (that's how long the domain name is currently paid for). I still check up on it couple times a day to make sure it hasn't blown up or anything. :D Cheers.

I still personally prefer the Dxun/Sith situation. It does take longer since you can't just spawn dozens of monsters at once, and the Sith give a bit less exp per kill, but it's more fun to play, since you can use 2 party members and goof off the whole time. But I gather that it doesn't work reliably for some people. It always works for me tho.

At this point, despite any reservations I initally had and the few I still have, all I know is that I'm still playing. And playing. And playing. The longer I play, the more I play.

My like for this game is based largely on the player vs. monster aspect. But I definitely think, from what I see/read, that PvP in GW is better than any other game I can think of. Definitely more intelligence/strategy etc. needed - even in player vs. monster, really. a party just flailing away individually, ignoring teamwork and planning, will lose/die. Impatience isn't rewarded. Too bad I don't have time to devote to keep up with people who do. It'll probably be a long time before I get all the skills/game knowledge and such to be competitively helpful in any PvP.

I haven't actuall played WoW, but have several friends who are. With the input from them + reviews +forum reading....I'd say Guild Wars too.

@ Kaftan - heh....I mostly think that way about these games too. I'm actually surprised I like GW as much as I do. But still...they're for when you want to leave your brain at the door and just have fun or hang out w/buddies and goof off with adreline rushes. At least they're a lot better than FPS games that serve the same kind of purpose, IMO.

The airspeeder glitch doesn't seem to work in the PC version. At least, I haven't been able to make it work.

Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound depressing. Just how I see the gameworld, after many years. You get a bit jaded, I guess - like with movies. Only so many variations in the world. :D I kind of disagree that it's not a MMORPG. Even in past MMORPG's, you form parties of 2-8 or whatever and go out into the 'world' and do stuff - it's about the party etc. GW has just elimited the hassle of having your (co-op, non PvP, questing) party be annoyed by other parties. The towns are the same, giant clusters of people to talk to/form parties with etc. Doesn't WoW do the same thing too? Maybe on-line games are headed this way. I for one like it. there's a few preliminary review previews out now from gamespot and such - you can read those. One more bad thing to add to the list, however. Per account, if you join a Guild with one character, ALL characters on that account join the Guild and are visible to all guild members. ie, no 'character/friend privacy/seperatism'. Some may not care, but it's annoying to many and many who'd like it changed. EDIT - But want to re-emphasize that I still really like the game. Good fun and a good option to try if/when one gets bored with a current on-line RPG they're playing.

There's nothing radically different about it. There never is. It's all environment, people, and what kind of character building fits your playstyle - and where your friends are, if that's important to you. In the end, no matter what frills and variations they try to make, they're all about monster bashing and/or player bashing with groups of other people.

I vote for the original Arcade pac-man. *wacka wacka wacka wacka...*

A thousand Kotor dreams?? I think I did have one or two, somewhere the first week when I was playing way too many hours...(anything you spend tons of time thinking about can trigger a few maybe)....but I don't remember what they were about. I tend to lose memory of a dream pretty fast these days. That many tho - yes, you are truly addicted. :D

I wasn't talking about story as the problem - honestly, one doesn't play this kind of game for story. It just gave me no indication that it would be a sudden party-fight and I felt like 'what now?' during the whole transition. As to controls - my main beef is being unable to easily turn my viewpoint once I start combat, since you can't use the 'move forward' etc. keys to change your view then. The r-click mouse thing sucks, to me, for this purpose - too slow and inaccurate when things are happening so fast. Half the time I'm fighting something while not viewing it. I tried the Z key that kind of helps but then I have to keep it pressed the whole fight. I looked at re-mapping keys but I don't really see how to bind 'change view direction without physically moving or stopping combat action' there. (edit - I know if I'm completely zoomed out I can see a lot more w/out having to change viewpoints but everything gets too damn tiny then and I can't see anything, let alone read text that's no taller than a few periods stacked on top of each other) Didn't try things like using CNTRL+W or anything yet tho. Does that work? Eh...even if it does - too many keys to press in the midst of chaos. Is lvl 20 the cap then? The cap so people can just pummel away at each other in the arena after that? :cool:
