Well, I'm not crazy about such clumsy weapons as blasters, but the walkthrough trailer showed Mira staying back a good distance and holding her own with the blaster. The rocket animations looked nice, but didn't do uber-damage. It seems fairly balanced.

I personally use MYIE2 because it's stable and feature-rich. I know people who swear by FireFox and CrazyBrowser, so I threw those out there as well. CrazyBrowser is not a memory hog, but it lacks certain features I've been acustom to. And I like the name, btw. Then again, I'm a big fan nihilism. It makes me smile!

I don't care how KOTOR handled textures and models. They did a poor job of representing items. If a character wears armor, and his model repesents this armor, when someone else dons the same armor, it should look the same.

China Shoots Missles into Water Around Taiwan This was right after a small nuclear demonstration. China sure used nukes to take over Taiwan. It also wasn't the first or last time China threatened war and invasion if Taiwan tried to maintain independence rather than allow itself to be absorbed into China. In all fairness, I haven't read No Logo, and may give it a go. But there remains a huge difference between outright theft and piracy, and what you described. What you described is laws allowing the US to legally sell products, despite the fact that you find the practice questionable. China has no respect for international trade laws. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the death penalty. I do respect the sanctity of life, and could consider abolishing the death penalty, but that would also involve lots of prison reform that we need first. Not everyone will accept your definition or claim that using lethal injections on prisoners is a human rights violation. Death row prisoners, or prisoners with life sentences know that things can not really get any worse for them. They prey upon other prisoners. Murder within prisons is not uncommon, along with rape and beatings. By utilizing the death sentence, we not only have another detterent against prisoners already facing life sentences, we remove them from prison populations before they murder again. I could live with a compromise that life-sentence prisoners were already removed from all other prisoners, and lived their life in prison elsewhere. However, this is a huge burden on tax-payer dollars, not only to maintain their lives, but to build seperate prisons to cater to murderers. Someone once said it is far better to let 10 guilty men walk free than to have one innocent man convicted. I think O.J. was clearly guilty. The problem with the case was multi-fold. The LA police and prosecution screwed up royally, and they got a jury that didn't know anything about anything in the name of being impartial. Several of the jurors in exit-interviews said they just discounted DNA evidence because they didn't understand it. I'll admit this country has past transgressions, and current faults. However, I think the world is so preoccupied with Anti-American sentiments that they overlook the horrors that occur in China.

The only reason I'm using IE right now is because I'm at work. I HIGHLY recommend installing a real web-browswer like MYIE2, FireFox, or CrazyBrowswer.

I repeat, there are isometric RPG toolsets out there.

What about Dark Cloud 2? I never got to play it, but the commercials looked pretty neat.

Nudity for all! I want to start the first Star Wars nudist colony. Chewie was a nudist.

Except, when you look at Calo Nord, you clearly see armor on him.

There is a difference between owning a nuclear arsenal, and actually detonating a small nuke as a threat to a country. China openly pirates billions and billions of dollars in IP every day. The United States has a trade deficit. We send business out to other countries, and purchase more foreign products than we ship out. We certainly don't just steal products the way that China does. The United States does have the death penalty, and that's a seperate argument. When guys like Timothy McVeigh bombs a building with a day-care and murders children, I have no qualms putting him to the electric chair. In China, prisoners are tortured and denied due process. In China, there isn't even Freedom of Speech. If you say the wrong thing, you can be imprisioned or killed for it. There is a WORLD of difference between the two countries. China is slaughtering people whole-sale because of ethnicity, and trying to breed certain peoples out of existance. The United States liberated 25 million people, and it stepping back and giving them their freedom. How can you compare the two? Logically, you can't.

I've got a question for the devs. In some of the screenshots and the vidoes that lightsaber blades are longer than in KOTOR:1 Is this the case or am I crazy?

Well the wallpaper seems to debunk the theory that the White-Haired Woman "morphs" into the Masked Sith.

It's speculation that she will turn to the dark side, nothing more.

I don't care about character names, or story details. I'll get to all of that in February.

Some variety would be nice. I liked Fallout's battle-cries, but they were text rather than voice.

That's because Canderous had much nicer hips.

So there! Look. Alot of people claim that the United States is this Empire that secretly controls the governments of umpteen countries. The United States has in the past assisted several times with regime changes. That doesn't mean we control those countries. We put the Taliban in power, and they sure liked us, didn't they? We put Saddam in power, and he wasn't exactly our puppet. If the US had this empire of vast reach where we controlled the governments of all these countries, I doubt we'd have this horrible trade deficit. Some of these countries have changed tariffs in the US's favor, but perhaps that has something to do with scratching each other's back rather than direct control. Furthermore, the US has dumped money into several countries building them up, and many have become financially wealthy and relatively indepedent of US interests. After WWII, we stepped into Germany and rebuilt factories so they could pump out cars. We rebuilt homes, and cities. What did the US get out of it? Is Germany a puppet state of the US? Hardly. The US public seems relatively content to be as isolationist as possible. If they had their way, they'd pretend the rest of the world didn't exist. As a nation, I don't think we're have as imperialistic as everyone wants to make us out to be. Our wealth and military might put us in the position of being a superpower. I'd put China in the same category. China used a nuclear demonstration as a threat to Taiwain to elect Chinese-friendly leaders. China has practiced transmigration (a small step removed from genocide) and has a horrid human rights record. They have no respect for international trade laws, and invade countries at will. The world is so busy hating the US, that I don't think they pay any attention to what China has been up to.

Luke, Han and Leia weren't in the front lines as soldiers. If you plan on engaging in a lot of combat, and don't care about stealth, then armor is for you.

I believe that was actual a mono-filiment whip. The idea is that the whip is an uber-thin single filiment that carries an electric charge along it.

I'm definately willing to try and organize it. I'm pretty busy with some side projects right now (doing web sites for people, etc) Give me a week or two, and I'm willing to start running an online game. If you want in, drop me an email or PM. The West End books may be hard to find, but the rules are simple enough that I can probably put together documents for everything we need.

I think a Pazaak tournament would be a good way to make Pakaak more interesting and meaningful. Just keep it optional for those who didn't care for it.

I loved the way Traits were mixed blessings in the SPECIAL system. I doubt we'll see it in KOTOR though because people already complain about the differences from the PnP game.

Breaking the fourth wall is also valid in comedy. "A movie about Jay and Silent Bob? Who would pay to see that?" Looks to the audience
