  1. Nah, if we go for something to eat it's usually down the road to one of the restaurants.
  2. SteveBinhThai? It was always an interesting amalgamation. I wasn't sure what it meant.
  3. Shhh ... projection. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm honoured. I think
  4. I wouldn't say they're THAT unathletic. I think some of them are joining the same floor hockey league I am in for next season.
  5. Hey, my posting has declined in the past few days.
  6. This would not be all that dissimilar to the original game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What? NWN1 had 2 expansions.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Expansions do not qualify under "support" for a game in my opinion. They are another product sold for profit. The post you quoted only spoke about patches and support. You can't see definitively one way or another whether or not they are working on an expansion pack. Perhaps the rest of Obsidian is working on an expansion pack, while the Live Team takes care of interim updates and patches. Assuming Obsidian wants to do an expansion pack.

    Why are you apologizing? The only person I'd value more than Iginla would be Kiprusoff.
  9. Heh, they want to do everything possible to eliminate Arabs?
  10. No, and it sucks. Grrrr... :angry: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Am I the only one that has no problems ignoring them? I rarely turn them off because I don't really read them anyways. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can skip dialogue (mouse button? can't remember off-hand because it has quickly become a learned reflex) after the initial and before the last screen, as well as pause it. And I read it faster than they speak, so I always skip at least some of it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Errr, I wasn't disputing that you could skip through them. I was talking about not reading them and just watching the cutscene and listening to them talk.

    I was at that game. Certainly wasn't expecting that. Atlanta's starter had already hurt himself and was subbed out to start the third, so when the goalie was ejected, they finished the game with no goalie.

    I tried to keep my faith in Ty, as I thought he played well for us down the stretch in 2003-2004. But after a bit I found myself laughing at most of the goals he let in.

    Anyone saying Conklin wasn't that bad with the Oilers wasn't really watching the Oilers. The save percentage, as horrible as it was, doesn't tell the whole story. The guy frequently let in BAD goals. Ignoring the giant mishap that happened in Game 1 of the Finals, the joke was that he was pretty much guaranteed one bad goal per game. And silly stuff, like not hugging the post properly and having some guy come in and shoot it from the edge of the boards, and have it squeak between his pads and the post....numerous times! Little flutter pucks that would barely make it to the net were mishandled and let in for freebies. I still laugh when I remember Brendan Morrison coming in towards Ty all alone chasing a loose puck, and when Ty got to it, he cleared it right off of Morrison's chest and gave him a free goal. Fortunately we won that one in a 7-6 gong show, thanks to a breakaway goal by Peca in OT. It got to a point where in press conferences, MacTavish was talking about how he was going to start focusing more on shotblocking (at which point we ended up becoming I think the second best shot blocking team in the league) to overcome medicore goaltending. When Dwayne Roloson came to town, there was an adjustment because Dwayne wasn't used to the playstyle. He wanted the Oilers to allow the shot from the outside, because he'd make the save. They didn't have to overcompensate anymore.
  15. Hey, I won't dispute that my Mom may be wiser than me at some parts of life. She's simply more experienced than I am (being 30 years older can do that to a person).
  16. Yes, this is high school. Society is constantly in pursuit of being more cool.
  17. Sooooo, using Azarkon's perspective, is it not hypocritical for the native americans to demand reparations when they themselves did the same thing?
  18. Wowzers, Allan, you have teh same birthday as teh me! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I knew there was a reason we got along!
  19. Facts? My Mom reads waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than me. But no offense to me mum, I demolish her in overall intellectual ability.
  20. Killing someone in the defense of others or in self-defense isn't murder. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's true. But there's no contradiction. Tarna says Which does not presuppose killing in defense. For example, tarna might want to kill a father who beats his children every day such that they are in constant danger of being killed. and Metadigital says which supposes that tarna's intent to kill, regardless of good or bad reasons, is tantamount to support of murder. I was trying to point out that this was not necessarily the case. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay, but you said: So, when you say something like "On the contrary, there is not a vast majority of people who take murder to be wrong all the time everywhere," and then start talking about how "Most people would agree that certain people deserve death, and more still would make exceptions for self-defense or others" is moot, since apparently, you weren't relating the idea that there "is not a vast majority of people who take murder to be wrong all the time everywhere" to the concept that people would "make exceptions for self-defense or defense of others. When trying to illustrate your point about whether or not the vast majority of people who take murder to be wrong all the time everywhere, there's no point in talking about a supposed exception of self-defense or provocation. Because if the death of someone was a result of self-defense, then no murder occurred. There can be no exception for self-defense when a murder occurs, because it goes against the definition of what a murder is.
  21. I remember my first playthrough of Torment ending short. The opening conversation with Morte was a bit eye-opening because I was not expecting to do quite so much reading. As I heard more and more about the game being les awesome, I gave it another try. I'm glad I did, because I really did enjoy the whole experience. But I don't think it's a stretch that the style of game design they used is certainly a niche. I prefer it to a wide open sandbox like Morrowind/Oblivion myself.
