There are the D&D based RPGS : NWN, Baldur's Gate, Torment, Icewind Dale, KotOR. And the rest : Wizardry, Diablo, Elder Scrolls, Might & Magic, Ultima. *Fallout is in between imo* Why can't we all just get along? They're just games, made to allow us to WASTE TIME. Jeez!

That is already possible and available through services in some countries. Only it is for the super rich. Quite disturbing.

Some answers could be found and more questions asked after watching these : Steven Spielberg's A.I. Riddley Scott's Blade Runner And Star Trek TNG Episodes "The Naked Now" and, to a lesser extent, "The Ensigns of Command". They all deal with robot lovin' at some point. I'm sure many can think of other movies/shows.

Will you marry me?

Yes. But no. Because it's Hollywood we're talking about and they live in their own little universe where sense rarely makes anything make sense. Basically it sounded cool methinks...

I already explained that. To some degree. It's when characters in a sci-fi space story have musical scores just for them. Luke's theme(when he looks at the 2 suns of Tatooine), Vader's theme, the imperial march, etc. Each piece of music is a theme for a character or group. Wiki's : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Opera Their description is ok but it describes to much Star Wars without mentionning music. This is not my opinion by the way but I read multiple times that music is an integral part of a Space Opera, specifically the themes. However, Star Wars is the first and to my knowledge the only Space Opera so I guess Wiki's description is pretty accurate.

I'll wait for the GotY edition with a couple of xpansions included.

All good points. Thanks We were usually hired at the end of devtime. it was usually difficult to get a hold of a programmer because they were all out on hiatus.

Troika never had internal QA team and Obsidian didn

The term you are thinking of is "Space Opera", mainly because of the importance and use of music in Star Wars(a theme for each character, one for good, one for evil, etc).

Hello, I previously found work in the video games industry by working for an external QA firm. Basically, the company is hired by a publisher/dev studio to do QA in compatibility, functionality, pre-cert, etc. Although I've worked there before, this concept of external QA always seemed strange. Why would a pub/dev add the extra costs of external QA, usually at the end of development, for a task they are well suited for internally? Are they viable? I'm asking these questions because I've been approached recently to join one yet again and I'm not sure I should. Seems to me trying harder to get noticed in a real Pub/Dev studio has more future(if I get the job...). Here in the Montreal region I am only aware of 2 such firms: Enzyme and Bugtracker. Any others someone is aware of? I will do a thorough search on the subject but I am starting here. Thank you and have a nice day.

Firefox has a little button that reads :"Erase my tracks". You probably know this already but for those who don't, live and learn. That little button saves my neck on a daily basis.

I'm Spiderman.

Wow. I never knew Star Wars was not a fantasy setting... " (but I know what you mean)

Start this thread instead of posting the link in another before N'AI...

You must admit though that Mr. B. is taking this debt thing to new levels. Sure it always went up with the other Prezes but the graph shows a steady incline. Until Big B comes along and kapow! Through the roof in just a few years. And when he took power there was a sort of surplus(according to the graph). Meh.

I guess thats what I should've done... <_<

At that moment, she just looked me in the eyes for half a second and then looked away. Afterwards, when we were alone, the usual. You're a guy, I'm sure you've been there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Either the "friends" speech or "as it never happened". To get to her, either stop being interested or find another girlfriend. Either way she'll come around...

FIONAVAR!!! *Jumps around dancing* I found Fionavar, I found Fionavar, I found Fionavar...

Too And all these people who pretend to be me; You can soon expect to be banned " :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I won't get banned.

They will also show Lego Star Wars 2 methinks... Oh and: http://www.penny-arcade.com/ Just read the first paragraph and salivate at the possibilities. Personally, I'm now drowning in my own bodily fluids.

Funny little tidbit about this game's title: I used to work in a QA company and there we had a team localizing Space Rangers 1, around Christmas time 2003. In their emails and conversations, the Producer was calling the game Space Rangers and the Designer was calling it Star Rangers. It was hilarious because we were caught in this big fewd between them and the game kept switching title from one localization version to another, right up until the end of the project. Guess that bug is still there...
