  1. Now, that's realistic graphics!
  2. Kill them all off in the prologue. Now the game is much simpler to design.
  3. Sarah does it all for the nookie.
  4. I wouldn't normally post any type of advertising because it's uncouth. I'm just trying to point out a really great deal. I use powweb.com for web hosting, and there is one day left on their sale. 2,000 mbs of space with ALL the goodies 150 gigs of bandwidth free domain name $7.77 a month, but you get 6 months free with a year, or 14 months free with 2 years. 2 years = $185 / 38 months = $4.90 a month for 150 gigs of bandwidth. That's insane.
  5. The movie wasn't ruined. One moment was. The plot twists and end are still quite nice. And said moment has been parodied and mentioned all over for the past 2 years.
  6. Most benchmarks show that you get better performance from GPU upgrades than CPU upgrades. It's a generalization, but 3DMark shows it to be a fairly accurate one.
  7. I get my release via GTA:SA.
  8. Me getting it all out of my system could become quite dangerous for the world there is a lot holding back in here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stay away from the napalm for a while.
  9. That was a great moment.
  10. I use the sourcebook to be me a ground. Forgotten Realms has the UnderDark. Star Wars has Jedi and Sith. The rest I fill in.
  11. http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=1999-08-18&res=l http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2000-02-04&res=l
  12. And there's a big naval base down there as well.
  13. I don't really know San Marcos, but if it's 30 minutes from San Diego, it's pretty far south.
  14. I'd say the norm is 512 megs of memory on most people's systems.
  15. I acutally have it on my PC along with quite a few classic infocom games. It's challenging and quite fun, but if you've never read the book, you'll stand no chance in the game.
  16. I actually killed the rancor with grenades and blasters on solo by running around.
  17. I haven't actually bought Requiem and the new rules. I thought in the new rules though, that the diff got bumped up to 7. I've been using 7 in instead of 6 as the base difficult in my games for a long time anyways.
  18. I'm the good guy, and she's the dark sider. Maybe I need to watch out.
  19. There is a trailer for The Ring 2. I found The Ring to be twisted, and enjoyable. I laughed at the end.
  20. Well, Samara is undead, and some legends list Banshees as being ghosts. So, I'd say a variation of a Banshee.
  21. In ways it was better. And while this account was activated in May, I was here in February. My original account never activated despite my countless emails. That's why I'm signed up as EnderWiggin instead of my usual EnderAndrew. No one ever got back to me, and despite clicking "resend validation email" I never got one. But I was reading threads since the days of "Will Project X feature crates?" I digress. I think the moderators delete the weirdest threads, and leave others. I think there are no clear rules as for what is "off-topic" in the "off-topic" areas. I've had atleast 4 threads deleted from "off-topic" because the topic was inherently spam. The latest was Volourn's Gender. Surely it was a silly topic. But our conversation was on topic the whole time, and it was in the off-topic area. Word association games are considered spam by the rules. Other than that, how do we determine what is spam, and thusly off-topic in off-topic? I've asked several moderators and never gotten a response. To be fair, the moderators have been polite to me while deleting my threads, and the only "warning" I've ever received from a moderator was an unofficial one to stop using a certain former term we had for Interplay.
  22. I tried grenades. But if I stayed at a distance, he'd grenade me as well. I just used a stimulant, rushed in, and exploited. I'd save the game right at the beginning of combat and let it go like 2 rounds. If I got my ass handed to me, I'd reload. But I only did that with Bendak.
  23. I think Gary Oldman has played some great villians in movies like Leon/The Professional. He was also a comic villian in The Fifth Element, and the classic villian in Bram Stoker's Dracula. He played the political villian in The Contender.
  24. I personally think the Vamp system to be quite simple. Try playing Shadowrun or an old Paladium game. With the Storyteller/WoD system, you take an attribute and a skill. That's your dice pool. To swing a sword, you use DEX+MELEE. Most things have a standard difficulty of 7. Any die that is a 7 or higher is a success. If you have a success, you succeeded. Extra successes equate to bonues, such as bonus dice for damage. It used to be that sometimes you needed X number of sucesses to actually suceed at something. Which is silly. "I rolled 3 successes, but didn't succeed." That has been eliminated in the new rule system, which is actually a little simpler and more streamlined. Instead of needed additional successes for something particularly difficult, you lose or add dice to your dice pool for modifiers. And the difficulty is always set at 7. Like I said, modifiers just affect the size of your dice pool. Roll a success, and you succeed.
