Insert Cricket Chirping Here
WHAT?! Ender Ender Ender..........tsk tsk tsk. In any case, take a peek at this In any case, I have seen the video of him putting the flag up. Odd, that it's fluttering WHILE trying to drive the thing into the ground. Who would have thought that by moving the pole, the flage itself might move. Add this to the fact that somehow, the government was able to keep something so huge and so big underwraps, despite the Soviets trying to do the same thing and getting beaten. As for the radiation of the Van Allen belts...Van Allen himself said that the duration of a trip through the belts would not be sufficient to get radiation poisoning. The inconsistency of the dust floating, is that it didn't float. It has a nice parabolic motion.

Evidence on both sides? I can't think of any evidence that supports the moon landing as a hoax.

Should Mark Messier Come Back To Play!?!
You did NOT just use shooting percentage as your hammer at the end of the post prior to saying "game over." Shooting percentage is the goofiest stat recorded in Hockey. I'd much rather let Messier with his 17% shooting percentage get an open shot than Jagr with his "meager" 12% shooting percentage. All it means is he was lucky enough to get the puck on his stick when there was an excellent opportunity to score.

KotoR 3: Ideas and Suggestions
jodo, I doubt Fionavar would be the one to say "yes, we're making this game."

Should Mark Messier Come Back To Play!?!
I remember hearing about one old Oilers game, where the Oilers were getting their butts kicked after two periods. They came out on fire in the third and erased like a 4 or 5 goal deficit or something. One of the players was asked after the game what Sather said to fire everyone up? The player's response was that nothing was said in the locker room....Moose just glared at everyone.

Messier does have those intangibles and the competitive drive.

Empire at War
Death Star is usable.

Empire at War
Empire at War takes place a little bit before A New Hope. Vader is his awesomeness and all that fun stuff.

Leaving behind the d20 System
Errr, I meant them in FR/Greyhawk settings games. Why do 3e rules and CRPGs based on 3e rules allow for non-human Paladins (NWN for example). EDIT: I think your reply was to an old, editted post...or something. EDIT2: Nevermind, I found the post.

Leaving behind the d20 System
By your logic, the moment you introduce the first house rule into your 3e game.. It ceases to be 3e. My game is still AD&D (I use all the AD&D tables and charts..) though with a little OD&D flavor.. that's all <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do those OD&D changes make sense in the setting? If there's some grand idea that a different race cannot be a Paladin or some other class because of a setting, then why didn't 3e stipulate some of these rules? And what, in the FR/Greyhawk setting, would absolutely prohibit the creation of a Dwarven Paladin? Dwarves don't have gods that would grant a warrior divine powers?

Actually, in my game you can See above post. My AD&D ruleset actually incorporates some OD&D aspects and it was done so long ago that I sometimes forget what belonged to which game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then you aren't playing AD&D anymore. You have modified it, to overcome the restrictions.

Really??? Do the 3E Greyhawk/FR settings have dwarven paladins? (w00t) AFAIK, they don't. And if they do now, then I must be concerned about the dangerous direction gaming is heading towards! It is not as simple as wanting a dwarven paladin PC and that's it. One needs to make sure that the dwarven paladin makes sense within the context of their setting. Meaning, if dwarven paladins don't exist in the gameworld, there shouldn't be any dwarven paladin PCs ever unless there is a very, very good in-game explanation of why all of a sudden such a character exists that normally wouldn't in dwarven society. It would most likely require a truly radical explanation like dimensional transport and wormholes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then why do CRPGs based on 3rd Edition in those settings allow them? Or even the PnP based on 3rd Edition allow them?

KotOR II - Was it an 'Expansion Pack'?
Stand-Alone expansions are very, very rare. Game stands on its own without KOTOR 1. Not an expansion.

I wouldn't cite Messier's stats as evidence of him being one of the better players in the league.

Interview with Glenn Entis
I didn't consider Chief Visual Officer to be the "graphics dude," but to be someone that helps coordinate the overall "vision" of the companies goals. I could be wrong though.

Empire at War
More like Age of Empires on Naboo and other SW planets.

What are some good coop PC games?
I guess I should have clarified a bit. Multiplayer Coop (i.e. coop against other humans) was not something I was looking for. I'm well aware of both WoW and Guild Wars for fun team action
