NHL is back
It's frustrating, because from what I can understand...during our 3 game losing streak we actually still played pretty well.

I didn't see you come in while editing " There's always the official website.

Haha....hopefully a Sportsnet is still on at 1 so I can see this. In other news, hopefully ol' Cap'n Crunch continues to use his new found scoring touch. Peca certainly seems to be more active offensively. Wouldn't mind seeing him threaten the 50 point mark. I like him on the point of the PP2 unit. He doesn't have the most accurate of point shots, but there's also some assurance that we still have an effective defensive player up there. I know often when a forward is on that point, it makes a team more vulnerable to shorthanded odd man rushes. Speaking of odd-man rushes while short-handed....remember that 3-on-1 the Oilers had against Chicago? Who gets a 3-on-1 short handed?

I'll admit that any opportunity to send waves of X-Wings against a Star Destroyer does take away from my objectivity

Well my intrest in NWN2 just tripled =)
Apparently there's a school of thought that there's many creative people out there that don't know how to program, but could make better video games than the current programmers Like people with BA's in art with theatre minors "

How many goals got taken away???

Who's the guy that Deus Ex Machina'd Ryu in the second one?

Yeah. That's why I was kind of surprised. I didn't know Marcel was a King. Must have been one a long time then. I hear we won in the shootout! Did you see the game?

I don't mind the toolset a whole lot. The big problem is scripting. The internship that I'm working on is using NWN and NWScript as a tool to expand the idea of content creation for people who don't have programming skills. The program is ScriptEase and you can find info on it here It takes a bit of getting used to, and it's far, far, far from complete. You can deal with tons of interactions with objects and triggers and whatnot. We're currently exploring patterns in other areas as well, such as ambient behaviours and stuff. The idea is to create easily adaptable patterns from a (relatively) simple interface without having to punch in code. They also use it in tons of sociological studies with alternative forms of creative expression and stuff like that. It's really neat I'm curious to see how well it works with NWN2, as in theory the scripting is fully backward compatible with the version of NWScript that exists in the original game. Depending on when it comes out, I wonder if a job on my plate is to port it to NWN2 :D

He didn't already have that record? I'm kind of surprised!

Hey, it's not like the rest of us immediately assume the worst with the Gabrielle NPCs we meet up with

At the endgame though, the Killmatic with Firearms 10 is just too much fun. The McKlusky (Desert Eagle) is good too, for its high ROF, good damage, and fast reload.

SW: Empire At War Demo!
I did that a couple of times when I downloaded some huge BG mods. Some of them took days. Good thing for Netants download utility, I can pause it while I do my regular stuff online. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used GetRight. And yeah, you can't go back. You'll find a way to get it in inaccessible places if need be.

I just bought it :D

I was disappointed that the Spaz does not have that same result. But I wholeheartedly prefer the Spaz over the Ultica pump action. I can kill one of those big 3-headed womanish with split open belly things in a single clip which means no panicking by me.

I downloaded huge demos with my dialup to. 28.8k at that. I just do it while I'm sleeping.

Python Scripting
I'm sitting down with Python and examining it, with respect to Civilization 4. I was thinking it is probably pretty common around the "game developer" world, and I think it's quite common in AI. Does anyone know of any other large scale (mainstream) games that have also used Python extensively?

Though less versatile. What type of powers do they have? Are they typically of the "spell" variety.

gaps of k2
There's much missing out of your sentences too! So? Considering there was a wide variety of ways for that to play itself out, much of it had to be accounted for in some way, in a variety of different ways. Star Forge went kaput. Who cares about Manaan...it wasn't important to your quest. What difference would it have made if it was destroyed or not (again, many things could have happened here in KOTOR 1, which makes designing around it more difficult)? You never go there, as you never have a reason to. Heck, it's possible the Exile had never really heard of Manaan.

Bloodlines
It was usually colourful. On another note, what's with the gun naming in the game? I'm pretty sure the Spaz is correct, as is the Steyr Aug and the Anaconda, but the Killmatic, Brock, Braddock, etc. were all name changed. They only got a 'partial' license? Or does Steyr not care? :D I got the Jaime Sue as a reward for finishing the quest though.

Bloodlines
Yeah, but my shooting skills sucked at the time I'd usually run up and "spaz" on them :D The pellet spread did provide assistance for the headshots. I don't believe I had a rifle at the time though. My "sniper" weapon was the anaconda (which is pretty good as a sniper weapon, but needs to reload faster).

Deus Ex Problems
That's a bizarre bug. Modern games don't really have that problem as they are usually threaded to prevent things from going waaaay to fast like older games. (I remember playing Police Quest 3 on my 400 MHz machine...wowzers did I drive fast). But I've played Deus Ex on a wide variety of machines, from a 450 MHz K6-2, to a 650 MHz Duron, 1 GHz Athlon, 1400 MHz Athlon XP, as well as my current computer which is an Athlon64 3500+ (2.2 GHz I believe). I've also gone through a slough of video cards. THe problem you are describing shouldn't be solved by upping the video requirements, as you're running the game itself too fast....framerates shouldn't matter. It's almost like you are in timedemo mode. EDIT: Of course it seems you fixed the problem anyways " What did you need to change in the .ini?

At will means unlimited usage? It sort of reminds me of the Sorceror, though he just gets mage spells.

I'll need to test this out when I get home tonight :thumsup: I'll probably make some videos too, just for comparisons sake. I remember barely surviving the stupid zombie horror show in the graveyard by spamming the Braddock (Mac-10) with my medicore gun kills and pulling off some fluky headshots on them and watching them gib with 10 seconds left and the gate about to be broken down. That was one of the hardest quests for me...probably because I didn't have Celerity. I can imagine it being very useful.
