Oddly, even tho I don't own one and probably never will since I don't hunt and I'm not in the military forces, I do find the mechanics of guns/weapons very interesting - particularly history-wise. The big cannons of yesteryore...fascinating. How about handguns? All I see so far is the 'bigger/more power is better'... :D I've always wanted a bow, personally.

Strictly Ballroom soundtrack Sing it, Doris.

I wouldn't mind another ship. I can respect the tradition of the Ebon Hawk and all...but still...new enviornments are (almost) always a good thing. I like the swoop bike idea too...it does seem a bit odd in the SW universe for you characters to go running around everywhere. No elevators, no speeders, etc.

If you like re-loading over and over you can get the Cyan from the first shop on Telos. Mostly it's just random...both in stores and from the sabers NPC's give you....although people have noted that there's a few places or shops where a certain color is always offered (don't ask me, I don't remember/know). Nothing like getting 6 violet crystals.

Hahahaha!!! Yes, that's a very nice Kreia look-a-like. *snickers

It's a bronze, yes...

I haven't tried, but I've seen some posts in the far past where people were doing that. Far as I know there's no game-plot stopper preventing you from doing so.

Bronze on a saber in-game (not in the menu) pretty much looks like orange. There is a slight difference but to most people it's largely undetectable. In the menu it does look a lot like a yellow crystal, particularly depending on your graphic settings/card, so it's possible to overlook you have/had one if you weren't really looking at the names in-menu.. I think there is a place where a bronze crystal always appears, but as usual I don't remember where....some chest late-game somewhere maybe. I do know that I always seem to end up with at least one.

There's ways around that (the registry info being easily public viewable), but it usually means paying more for a 'middle-man' whois service. "

Oh my...how could I have forgotten that one. That one had the tears rolling down my cheeks in rivers. Not huge sobs, but the waterworks just wouldn't shut off. About half of that movie wasn't very good, IMO, tho....but the half that was good, was really good....and it helps that I'm a US Civil War buff I suppose. "

Actually, you don't need light side points to turn people to Jedi...I think someone pointed it out already, but if you descrease their influence enough, it achieves the same thing.

To me, that line implies only that disciple is flabergasted by Atton's jealous and groundless insults and his comment is meant more as an insult towards Atton illogical accusations. No different than Atton muttering "Schutta' as he walks away from Handmaiden....just a parting insult disguised as social politeness.

There's a difference between running over monsters in a driving game (or whatever) and twisting a person's soul around by treating them shabbily and breaking their will. One is impersonal...(like rubber-necking an accident), the other is personal (like purposely causing the accident) . Some people have a hard time with that, even in a video game. I'm not sure it's that hard to understand, really. Social training can be hard to get past, so to speak. *shrug

Silvershadow's correct. He calls the Exile a hero...actually, he mumbles "I thought she was the hero..." Loved Atton first, but now I love Disciple more than Atton. And yes, he's cute. There. I said it. Have at me now. "

(This went reaaalllly long, sorry) I've honestly never really understood this debate about PC games. I can understand there's a major difference between sitting around a table w/friends and roleplaying vs. an attempt by a programmer to emulate that process via pixels and giving 'story choices' but to me, the only major difference between 'serious' CRPG's and 'hack n slash' RPG's is that the former fills up time between the combat sequences with dialogue storyboards. Many feel that the former method is more 'immersive' for CRPG's, but I don't really see that aspect myself. In terms of combat alone, in BG1, you'd move your party forward though a drawn dungeon/outside, encounter monsters, pause the game, give all your guys orders (cast this spell, use this potion, this person stand here, this person melee), unpause, and watch it play out in a chaotic mess. Pick up any items of interest to keep or sell - and the items, just like in hack n slash, would increase in usefullness/strength as you progressed. Repeat till a map was all explored. In a 'hack n slash/FPS', you skip the pausing part and have to think on the fly, react to that monster coming in the room at the 9th hour without being able to pause to think about what trick you might have that you can pull out of your backpack. In that sense, they are more 'adrenline' pumping. And yet, even in many hack n slash games, if you rush into big mobs of monsters that out-class you without any thought or familiarity or the 'good equipment' or 'good or well developed skills', you're likely going to die or at least have a very difficult time. You have to do all your 'pause thinking' before you enter comabt - ie, 'town' - what spell to equip, what weapon to use, etc. And then you go marching around, hoping what you've chosen will suffice. It's funny because in GuildWars, you see it all the time, where stupidity and lack of tactics means the entire party is wiped out, when with good tactics the same battle is a lot easier or almost cake and pie. Hack n slash doesn't always mean 'no tactics required'. Yes, sometimes it's like that, particularly older games, but I don't think it's the real norm. All of the RPG's have the element of 'item tinkering' - monsters drop items, you decide whether to use them or not - and all of them have multiple character-specific skills where the choice is left up to the player which ones to try and use/specialize in. All of the RPG's have some element of tip-toeing around corners to try and trigger only a few baddies at a time instead of a hoarde. Some people require emotional attachment to characters (hence they want more in-game story) to feel involved and adrenline rushed or as if there's a 'point' to playing - whereas me, since there is really rationally no 'point' to playing any game except to kill time in a way that is enjoyable, even if there is a great story, the game still boils down to the same old combat-grind of 'move forward, kill, move forward, item tinker, repeat'... So I flip back and forth, and I'm a fan of both games like BG1, Kotor, and Diablo2. And games like CaesarIII. I love that game.

OMG - Roger...your avatar...it brings back gaming memories. :D Topic: kim chee and spaghetti-o's. er....kim chee and a lot of things, really. I've put it on tuna before. And in Top Ramen. Tho usually I just eat it w/rice. And before you ask...it's an asian cabbage pickled in vinegar/red pepper/garlic etc. The one they made fun of in MASH a lot because of it's pungent odor...heh I'm sure there's been weirder things I've slapped together but I'm too tired to think of 'em.

I want a lightsaber that's dark blue shot through with silver streaks. And I'd be neither completely Light or Dark. I'd have to invent a whole new 'side'.

Last time I was in a classroom, there was no such word as 'alot'. :D And no, that's not meant as a insult. God only knows, my spelling/grammar on the net is often atrocious. hehe And it has been a while since the last update. :/

Uh...happy birthday? :D

I was going to go edit/delete my reply in the thread in general since it's redundant and you're the file creator, but I see the great-mod-in-the-sky has already taken care of that. :D Anyway, wanted to thank you for that file. I really like it - since I don't want the speed thing but don't want to get rid of the other effects.

Heh..I just uploaded a rar file with that mod in it cause I couldn't find it on the net w/a quick search. Should have read this post first. Are you the originator of the file? Just curious.

No, no! Daylight causes cancer and turns you into a wrinkly leathered prune! Stay away! Stay away from the light!!.... .....Reveilled - that sounds like a great change for you - isn't it nice when life takes a positive turn like that, out of nowhere?

Oh, ugh, the commute thing. Hubby drives about 1.5 hrs per day on the days he has to go to an office - and that's considered 'normal' around here. More and more people move to the edges of cities (or out of the city) and commute further and further to work, usually for econonic reasons. The housing market is insane. And yes, all that driving/traffic can/does affect people's sleeping/stress etc patterns, no doubt. I've always felt bad for the long-haul truckers who work so we can grocery shop and such. :/

I'm not sure I agree with this. It may be true for some people, but not for everyone...and certainly not me. I can get up at 6am and still not go to sleep until 5am-9am the next morning.....often. Quite often. It's why I can never maintain an early-rise habit. Many times, I'm just not sleepy at all, until 25-30 hours have passed. It doesn't matter when I go to bed or if I quit caffeine or exercise more - I'm on a 36 hour day body clock maybe. heh I also read, a long time ago mind you, that to 're-set' your body clock (for those who find their sleep habits seriously interfere w/their lives) you should get up one hour later every day for a while, until you've gone around the clock (ie wake up at 8am, then 9am, then 10am) etc. Requires severe discipline tho, like in a sleep clinic environment, and time off work. But they keep changing their minds on these things all the time.

Of course love can lead to the darkside. Ask anyone who's been married 20 years..... The thing is...in real life, that 'darkside' turn is rarely permanent. In Star Wars, it is....or at least, permanent until your own son finally turns you back to good so you can die a semi-tragic/sympathetic death. :D This kind of 'all or nothing/love is harmful to the hero's ability to be a hero' concept is in tons of stuff - even if it is dealt with in a more complex fashion elsewhere. Spiderman, for example.
