Black Isle Compilation
No. There was an old game, The Terminator that came out for DOS in 1990 that was entirely a FPS game. The game also featured hijackable vehicles and driving (complete with distinctions between automatic and manual transmissions which you'd have to shift). You could play as either Kyle or the Terminator. If you feel like being anal about "who came first..." Though having taken part in the PC gaming industry at that time, I concur that Doom was the one that had the huge impact and changed the face of gaming, not Wolf3D.

You could always experiment with the demo

Who Kriea actually could be?
I already acknowledged the reference to human memory. I have taken psychology courses on human learning....no need to lecture me about it. But there's also 6 year old girls that can list off every president. What you say makes sense, if Revan had 50 masters. Considering having more than 1 is exceptionally uncommon, having more than Mical comments is even more exceptional. Your wording here confruses me a bit. There was no name listed by him after Kae. She is the very last name he lists- Disciple- "Master Vandar, Zhar, Dorak, Master Kae before Kae left for the Wars." So I'm going to ask you to rephrase as I did Jediphile a short time back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no reason not to assume that the name mentioned immediately after Kae, was not Revan's trainer immediately after Kae (i.e. Dorak was after Kae). This is assuming the list is in reverse chronological order. Though during a talk between Mical and Kreia, he doesn't remember the trainer after Kae. So either the list isn't actually in reverse chronological order (is it mentioned that it actually is, or are you making a supposition?), or Kreia did her memory work (as BW indicated). I highly doubt Mical forgot because there were many trainers. The guy can go on for hours about pretty much anything. It's not like he's just taking a history class...the guy is a scholar that has actively researched the topic for an extensive period of time, given how he can tell you all about it just off the top of his head when you meet him on Dantooine. I still say you're manipulating the facts just to support your expectations.

I guess with the new patch it had to reapply promotions, because Uncle Sam was handing out promotions left and right for consecutive kills once the "real game" got started.

Fallout 3 : Ideas and suggestions
Is that a rabbit in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? I had too much sugar this morning. On topic, I thought you didn't like the idea of F3? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He doesn't like the idea of Bethesda doing FO3 because according to him (and others) they can't write a good story to save their lives. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I agree with him partially. No one should be doing F3 unless it had Tim Cain and Feargus's name on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess you just loathed Fallout 2.

Well, count our blessings they actually delayed the game at one point then. With the patch I find MP fine.

I love how the Blackhawk still seems to be >>> the other helicopters. I haven't shot one yet with a tank since I started playing, but it was kind of silly for them to survive direct hits from a 120 mm tank gun.

KotoR 3: Ideas and Suggestions
If you're sick of repeating yourself, rather than vague directions to your past posts (of which you do have more than one), you should post a link to that post in your signature or something, so that it's easily accessed.

To be fair, I think a good chunk of my points were flag captures/neutralizes. I did notice I was the point leader ^_^ I didn't notice any claymore deaths. I was disappointed I couldn't get you when I was on the other rooftop. I didn't think you had seen me, and when I saw you come out looking right at me I started shooting. As I was shooting, I couldn't help but think "Uh, what am I doing???" Before I could recognize that that was a bad idea, you killed me

Who Kriea actually could be?
Hmmm, it still just sounds like you're trying to stretch the facts to match your expectations now. Yes, there have been extensive studies about memory and whatnot, but the Disciple was a scholar that dedicated good chunks of his life to researching this. If his list is indeed in reverse chronological order, I think it's a bit of a stretch that the name preceding Kae was not the trainer immediately after her. You changed your argument to match up with your conclusion, which is a science no no.

Empire at War
Maximum Tech Level 5 to get the Death Star I believe, unless you're in the campaign (story) mode, at whcih point I'm not sure. Unfortuantely no SSDs, though I wouldn't be surprised if an expansion was released that expanded on the units.

Spore
Why would he? Has Will Wright ever really failed to deliver? He's not Peter Moleneaux. I'm not a huge Sims fan, but I still recognize its gaming brilliance. This is just the next step. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Next step? NEXT STEP??? This is more like a big fat giant leap forward in the space time continuum (w00t) Imagine this next step applied to a RPG! (w00t) (w00t) (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's one small step for a geek....one...giant leap, for geekdom.

Errr, the same as what he just posted..... Good game. Too bad more people couldn't show up. I only had one opportunity to show off my tanking skills though (though they probably depreciated quite a bit). Hurlshot, your stats page is awesome. It's like Sniper 12 hours, assault 9 hours, third place 10 minutes.

I was looking at it from a Empire at war perspective... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My reply was directed more towards baby arm.

Yes. Though it's been editted to just show the game footage.

I was hoping it was a new video. Cheers to all those that hadn't seen it yet though.

Yes, I do. Battlefront was the best selling Star Wars games of all time, and you couldn't play as heroes. In fact, the heroes were so stupid in the original game that they were typically turned off. Yes, there were recognizable entities in the game, but there are recognizable entities in the Mandalorian times as well. At least a million or two, given the sales for the two KOTOR games. This number also ignores the tons of fans that have read the comics as well as the EU of the timeline. Plus there are those that seem to buy anything Star Wars related.
