List a feature that is now standard
Absolutely... ... ... Learn by doing was popular enough to spawn 7 sequels in the Wizardry series. And while UT technically released before Q3A, Q3A was played long before thanks to its beta stress test.

And Ultima Underwold truly was 3D as it had a Z-Axis, whereas Wolf3D didn't. Though 3D certainly wasn't new. IIRC Falcon for the PC was 3D, and I know that Activision's classic Mechwarrior was.

DVD vs CD
I'd imagine games still come on CDs because there's still the impression that a significant amount of people don't have DVD drives.

Who will win the console war?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are several documented cases (especially on the PS2), where developers that made several sequels or several games on the same engine showed a decrese in disc capacity for each release. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to back this up.

Haha, must be for it's antique reasons. I should dig out the old Odyssey in my parents' garage.

Excellent game by the team. Peca with 4 points in the last 4 games, and Harvey on a two game point streak! Roloson with the alley-oop pass to Peca for that SH goal was great.

Is it really logic, or is it more just basic observation skills?

In their stomachs of course!

I'd be surprised if you couldn't.

I enjoy tutorials that are part of the story too Eldar. As long as they are skippable so I don't need to go over it again, it just helps me ease into the setting.

Hey, animals often eat almost anything. Sharks eat all kinds of crap. Meh, he probably didn't know how to use it. I mean, would that bandit have the lightsaber feat? KOTOR2 was goofy as well. Especially when we find duplicate 'unique' items such as Exar Kun's boots or whatever.

Wow, because it worked in N.Korea!!
I have no love for organized religion. I'm an athiest myself. But it's very evident that believing in a religion is not correlated in any way with intelligence. Even if it's a wacky cultish fringe religion (though those people will probably get more of the gullible kind. I have met (and been taught) by many very intelligent Muslims.

TSL throw out
With a GPA like that, you probably got SOME scholarships. Take a bit of it and buy KOTOR 2. Why did your mom throw them all away?

If you think someone is stupid simply because of their religion, then you're an idiot.

Time to start planning my new computer
I'll give them a whirl. I don't typically play in 1600x1200 though, as my monitor's refresh rate is only 60 Hz then. Though it is less of an issue in a game.

Time to start planning my new computer
With everything set to max, 8xAF and 4xAA at 1024x768, the time trial for FEAR gave me a minimum of 34 FPS, an average of 76, and a maximum of 192.

I'm not familiar with the Ge7900. It seems to beat up on the 7800 quite nicely.
