  1. WTF is that in the pc version? That IS a serious question btw. When you stand on the docking port at Izis and look to the horizon the colour of the sky and land is very similar to the Australian bush,I like that it reminds me of when I used to live a little to the north west of Sydney.(I know that sounds like complete bullcrap,but its true.)Onderon is a complete contrast to the dark and lush forest of Dxun.That and every time you leave the ship there is a mandalorian standing there. Is it called Dxun because mandalorians are cute just like little Dachshund puppies they look like wombles and they were bred for going down tunnels makes sense to me...But the other day I wouldn't give my seat to an old women and she yelled "APATHY IS DEATH." Art imitating life or the other way round? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DS point gained. Influence lost.
  2. That should solve itself. As long as you talk to one of the Handmaiden sisters and ask for your friends, you should be allowed to free them by simply going to where they are held captive. If that doesn't work, then I fear you've run into a bug, which the Telos academy is indeed renowned for, particularly if you've installed the patch...
  3. Yes, a shame... I was really impressed with how the Czechs played against the US in their first match, but it was disappointing that they had nothing to come back with when Ghana scored against them. That said, they didn't exactly have much of a break after that first game... And yes, the red card was deserved - just plain stupidity from the player, who basically ruined the Czech chances.
  4. Classic. Another favorite Giles quote is when he returns to help after being absent for a year, but is mugged before he can meet the gang. Upon awakening he simply utters: "Now I know I'm back in America - I've been knocked unconscious..." :D
  5. eewwww... If you put it that way - no! I guess I dont!
  6. This is a final, the US is out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is also Czech-out time...
  7. Short version: No, he wasn't.
  8. It's so true. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To me the problem isn't with the system. I agree that the system used in the Fallout games (that's SPECIAL, isn't it?) is similar to d20, and so d20 may seem appropriate. But that's not the problem for me. Because I honestly didn't like the Fallout system much. The Fallout games were great in spite of the system used, not because of it, in my not so humble opinion. It was okay, but I still feel the result would have been better with GURPS rules. But Fallout worked anyway because it was so well-written with lots of exciting plot and interesting characters. D20 seems to me to resort completely to dungeon-crawls and hack 'n slash, where the stats for rooms and monsters are far more important than the descriptions of the characters. I mean, what made Fallout great were stuff like this from Fallout 2: "The irony is razor sharp. Maybe we'll talk later after I stop the bleeding." [Comment to McClure in Fallout 2 upon hearing that the orders of an extra GECK for Vault 8 and extra water chips for Vault 13 were accidentally switched.] "Oh well, I thought there weren't any children because this might be the European version of Fallout 2." [Comment to Phyllis upon learning about the pregnancy cycles of Vault City in Fallout 2.] "The next cheap sonuvabitch who haggles for a drink is going to be wearing his ass as a hat!" [Cassidy] "Wow! I feel as if I've passed some arbitrary experience value and gained more power!" [Marcus] :D Just reading that again makes me laugh... Or has anyone tried sneak into the raider camp, kill all the mercs, but NOT the native (the bare-chested guy), then walk up to him and talk to him? He says nothing for the first twenty clicks, but his comment when he does is just pure gold It's very difficult to put that sort of thing into a PnP RPG, especially if it's d20, which is very geared towards combat and stats. That doesn't preclude it from being good, but I won't be holding my breath...
  9. Are you kidding? England and Sweden playing 2-2 was exciting in the extreme... and no, I'm neither a Swede nor an Englishman.
  10. yeah, but that's not what cleese said: which is what i was referring to. but i understand why it got mixed up between our posts, however, so sorry for the confusion. it is an unknown play, seen more in college and high school than anything. i'm not sure why, maybe because of the uncertainty since it is an awkward thing to do (hit the ground wrong and it is a fumble). taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So what you're saying is that not one but two people from each team are actually allowed to kick the ball... Well, in that case, I can certainly see that Cleese is wrong - that surely makes it more than relevant for the game to be called football then!!!
  11. At least it wasn't one of those "ties" that the announcers hail as one of the greatest games ever played. I hate when they do that, it's a ****ing tie. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A tie can be a very great game, however. Like when Denmark and Sweden was playing in the EU championship not long ago, and a 2-2 was needed in order to kick Italy out of the group and for the two to qualify. That tie was reached, much to the displeasure of the Italians who cried foul play. But yeah, a 0-0 tie is boring as hell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It depends. I've certainly seen games that were amazingly dramatic, yet ended with 0-0 because the cursed ball just wouldn't go into that bloody goal. They don't always seem exciting while you're watching, but you know they were when you're wiping sweat off your forehead at the final whistle...
  12. Please, Argentina vs. Holland was a vast disappointment given the standards of those teams, particularly given how magnificently the Argentinians have been playing so far. 90 minutes and 0-0. That's an hour and a half I'm not getting back
  13. DISCLAIMER: The following is a quote from the tv-program: "The Art of Football" with John Cleese and Tom Konkle, where Cleese speaks of the difference between soccer and american football. I thought it was amusing, but wish to stress that those are not my words - it's a quote. And it's not to be taken seriously. John Cleese:
  14. Now I'm scared... Because I agree with that... :ph34r:
  15. :D So all you have to do to scary Hades off is to agree with him... I'll have to remember that in the future
  16. Careful, or we'll just get another picture of the team's progress notes :D
  17. I thought you can't get the last part for HK-47 until after you killed the three HK-50 units hunting down T3 in the droid warehouse on Nar Shaddaa... Don't remember where I got which part, though.
  18. I think it's actually said more than once, but it is certainly stated during the meeting with the masters on Dantooine. "The last Jedi conclave was on Katarr, a Miraluka colony. And all of Katarr was destroyed, all of the Jedi killed...Including Master Zhar... Master Vandar..."
  19. People would laugh at him instead of fear him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Better not let the Lord Darth JarJar hear that... He was a potential apprentice, you know... :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think a Gungan jedi would be sweet, if they fixed the whole speech thing <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A gungan jedi wouldn't speak like that because they would be raised by proper speaking jedi and gungans get that speach thing from other gungans around them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gungans are to be in Star Wars games only in the way they are in Battlefront: "Meesa gonna die!!" Period!
  20. It's probably just so that we'll know right off what sort of characte G0T0 is, since we all recognize that droid. Did seem a bit inappropriate to see about 3000 years before Ep. IV (not Ep. I)
  21. You mean you want someone else to open that can instead?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Certainly not - perish the thought
  22. Kreia lost her connection to the force when Nihilus and Sion cast her out of the Sith order, just the Exile did when the jedi kicked him out. Kreia used Exile to regain a connection to the force through his force-bonding ability but creating a powerful bond with him. That's why she's so weak and inexperienced at the beginning of the game in spite having been a jedi master, I guess. That threw me too, at first, since I thought her lack of power was merely a consequence of the d20 system used in the KotOR games, but apparently Obsidian did work it into the plot - note how she mentions being stripped of power during the cutscene, where Nihilus and, especially, Sion kick the snot out of her... As for Wookieepedia, I actually find the comment about "mistaken identity" to be fairly neutral in that sense that either people are wrong for thinking that Kreia is Kae or for thinking that she is not (since it's one or the other). And though I do think Kreia is Kae, we cannot say that with any authority, since there is no conclusive evidence to support the claim. I'll reserve the right speak out against anyone claiming the opposite to be true, however, since there is certainly circumstantial evidence to at least suggest it. I may not be able to prove that Kreia is Kae, but neither can anyone else prove that Kreia is not Kae.
