Last day before the forums are closed...

Let's hope it's not the calm before the storm... -
Just because it was derived from a weasel-like creature doesn't mean that's the whole connotation it carries... 'bitch' is technically just a female dog, too. ;s <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True, but "bitch" implies a total devalution of a person (in this case, a woman in particular) to the general value of a dog. Calling someone a "weasel" doesn't carry the same negative connotations in US and/or Western culture, and since this is a story being read by people in and/or influenced by US and/or Western culture, it loses it's edge to refer to a weasel like creature without the implication that it refers to it in such a way as be of similarly insulting value as the word mentioned above. This is Lucas here, so I doubt that is the case. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Calling a guy a "weasel" is probably worse than calling a chick a "bitch". :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't see why you reach that conclusion. You can call someone a weasel on a kids show, but "bitch" is considered a curse word. The latter is considered inherently vulgar, while the latter is not. They aren't in the same leage, as far as explitives go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> More vulgar? Yes, technically. More humiliating on the other hand? No way. :ph34r:

'bitch' is technically just a female dog, too. ;s <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed, the most profane or insulting of all words, in many languages, turn out to be words referring to certain depricated animals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Remember to combine a "private body part" term to the depricated animal for optimal effect. ^_^

Look, I've read your post and can understand where you're coming from...but you joined this board when - post release? Some of the forum veterans here were here from the very beggining. We followed the develepment process and contributed many of our suggestions which were implented in the final product. This was a game for us - the gamers. Sorry, but in this case you don't really have a frame of reference. You're merely judging from your relatively limited exposure on these boards. Obisidian can't make a product for us, the gamers, if they dissolve their only medium of correspondence.

Considering that he was in KOTOR II, no I wasn't surprised. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Laozi, is that you? ^_^

Indeed. 'Weasel' just seems rather...tame.

don't call it "content patch",
jaguars4ever replied to poolofpoo's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I disagree you're not patching the content your putting efffectively brand new stuff in. It would be adding new campaigns in. Just because there are bits of files that are unused doesn't make it a patch because these bits of files are not in the game so putting them into the game would be, for all intents and purposes, puttng brand new matierial in. If the Droid Factory/Planet was restored then that would be a new campaign, but I agree so much as simply changing the ending would not be a 'new campaign'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would still be the same story and same game, and therefore a content patch. Think of it more as a 'Game of the Year edition' as opposed to a 'Throne of Bhaal'-esque exapansion pack, which is a different game. -
don't call it "content patch",
jaguars4ever replied to poolofpoo's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
'Conent Patch' would be the appropriate term as the previous story would merely being amended. An 'Expansion Pack' generally would entail a further camapaign(s) being added. -
Attons real name exposed

Ah..now it makes sense that Atton got his ass handed to him by the Telos Tank Droid - for it was actually Mastermold! " -

Who else is sad about the closure of the forums?
jaguars4ever replied to Darque's topic in Way Off-Topic
and another forum vulture circles. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aww come on. He is young an hasn't learnt subtlety yet :cool: Nor has a lot of the other vultures <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A vulture? Now I have never! Just because I mentioned WINTERWIND(GO THERE NOW!), it doesn't mean I'm trying to pick up any of the fallen pieces that these forums sad fate has provided. I'm just saying it's sad, that's all, and that I think the same over at WINTERWIND(GO THERE NOW!). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Move on Pandaman, I got here first!" ^_^ -
I would never abandon you! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except when the forums close next week - then we're all abandoned...refugees without a refuge. *sigh*

I'll prove my geekiness all over again by elaborating on this one. Darth Nihilus: What happen? Colonel Tobin: Somebody set us up the proton core. Dark Jedi: We get signal. Darth Nihilus: What! Dark Jedi: Bridge door open. Darth Nihilus: It's you!! Exile: How are you darksiders!! Exile: All your essence is belong to me. Exile: You are on the way to destruction. (Nihilus tries to drain Exile and fails) Darth Nihilus: What you say!! Exile: You have no chance to survive make your time. Exile: Ha ha ha ha .... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Legendary. ^_^
