  1. DVD Players are much faster. I have a 4X DVD Player, and it can install stuff a million times faster than my CD-Burner which reads at 32X My friend's 12X DVD annihilates his 52X Burner
  2. Ok...it isn't randomized. It's purely sequential
  3. Isn't it DARK Helmet? Otherwise I don't know who you're talking about either.
  4. Well...I don't think background info on your character would really be THAT bad for background fiction. Although I never cared much for doing it anyways.
  5. This would have been a better comeback if you had spelled intelligent correctly. Better luck next time pal. TripleRRR I don't think English is his first language, so knocking the spelling might be unfair.
  6. Go watch The Shining. (They're already dead) It's wierd....I find myself remarkably entranced by the gif.....I try to look away, but something stops me.
  7. The problem is that Hades One continuously regurgitates it. Look around the forums and you'll see what I mean.
  8. What exactly is Carth's Messenger quest. I have done most of the sidequests but not Carth's or Juhani's (both of which I am trying to do now). I have been revealed to be Revan now though, so I don't know if I may be too far along in the game.
  9. The argument had two points going though. Opus and Ender were also talking about the philosophical nature of the Matrix for quite some time now. As for reprimanding Opus, re-read the thread. Opus is being just as aggressive about how Ender is clearly "wrong" as Ender is being to him.
  10. It doesn't look like he's in much of a position to counter attack with the way his arm is. Plus since it is an aggressive move, to quickly counter-attack might not be as easy as it sounds. I'm not an expert on sword fighting though, so I really can't say. For all we know she's doing a 180 and her momentum is actually backwards.
  11. It's a beam of energy though.....she could glance it through him at a snails pace and it's still gonna hurt him good.
  12. I'll probably be a Guardian my first time through, and I'll try to play it like the first one. I started out trying to be a nice guy, but once I became a Jedi there were times I found the Dark Side tempting. The farther I was along the Dark Side path, the more frequently I chose to be evil. Sometimes the evil acts were just getting money from people, because I needed the money to help me in my quest to find the Star Forge....but the Dark Side is very seductive, and my character fell. The big change happened in Korriban. I did Tatooine and Kashyyyk first, and came out a relative lightsider. But after Korriban I was definitely starting to get more and more pale It was neat because I learned after Korriban that I was Revan, so then I embraced it. I became all the way evil about half-way through Manaan, and embraced my true status as the Dark Lord. Made Zalbaar kill Mission, hunted for Carth for a bit (is he hiding anywhere...never did find him), then said screw Carth, I have bigger fish to fry...like he's getting off that planet anyways. The second time I play through will be all the way goody-goody, most likely as a Consular. The third time will be as one evil dude....probably still a Guardian though....don't care much for the Sentinel....although the Prestige Classes may change things.
  13. Which Sith Lord it shows will probably simply be random.
  14. December 25th is a horrible day for sales. Now December 24, 23, 22, 21.... (and even 26) are good! December 26th is quite possibly THE MOST heavily shopped on day of the year, at least for those who know what's what. December 26th, all the sales prices are cut because it's the official 'end' of the holiday rush, hence you get what you would have paid twice as much for before Christmas. My grandmother had a sort of ritual where the day after Christmas, she'd hit the stores and start buying next years Christmas presents at low, low prices. That's dedication to family for ya. I was curious last December so I took some notes. There was some stuff I considered buying for myself, but money was a little tight so I said to myself I'd buy them after Christmas. So I went in on Boxing Day, and not one of the items was actually any cheaper, despite them all having some sort of percentage taken off. I grudgingly bought two of the items at two different stores. The third store had actually jacked the price up and put a sale tag on it and people were eating it up still, even though had they bought it just before Christmas they would have actually paid less. I called the clerk on it and she just stared at me dumbfounded and insisted the price was actually cheaper than before. But considering supply and demand it makes perfect sense. Since everyone expects the first few days to be such a bargain day, I probably would do the same. People are blind and just make the assumption, while many shop owners end up making more money clearing out stock that they couldn't get rid of in time for Christmas.
  15. I'd say the Sith are like a gang. The recruit the disenfranchised individuals from society and spew forth the propoganda about how the Republic is evil (which is probably all that is really required for most people). Promises of increased power and fortune probably bring in a fair share too. Sure there are more legit alternatives, but that generally means following someone else's rules (the evil Republic's rules that is...since they've all been indoctrinated).
  16. Ivan, what happens in the last frame of your sig? I think the girls are dead but I'm not sure.
  17. Never really played a PnP game before. Some friends tried to get me to play a D&D game once. Although I got crappy dice rolls for my character so he sucked. The thief in our group kept trying to pick our pockets (actually anyone's pockets). And our group of level 1 characters ran into some wolves and I died....which sucked. Shortly afterwards the game dissolved and we played some GoldenEye on the N64
  18. Wizardry 8. Minimal voice sets allow for multiple male and female voices, the regulating difference being the personalities. There are several pre-recorded voice sets for different personalities (moody, intellectual, backstabbing, etc). The reason i don't see this being incorporated into TSL is simply the cost and work associated with recording several types of voices. Given that apparently all speech will have voice over, it's likely that there will only be one voice set for either gender. Wizardry 8's was mostly for barks though wasn't it?
  19. I think the way it is supposed to be looked at is a character with a lot of hit points isn't stronger per se, but a similar attack does less damage (as a percentage) because s/he would make sure that nothing vital gets hit.
  20. Do you buy your games? I find myself playing through the crappiest of crap because I figure if I buy the silly game, I might as well finish it. And the replayability comes more from how you beat stuff earlier in the game. You can solve it alternatively. Fallout is the same way. It's not "replayable" at all if I was to take your definition. In Fallout 1 you take out the Master and the mutants. In Fallout 2 you take out the Enclave. The great replayability of those games is still playing through the same quests...but in different ways.
  21. Sounds like you've accomplished much in your 30 years. It's kinda like in Howard Stern's private parts, when the people that didn't like Howard Stern were the ones that listened to him the most.
  22. It is. Games where you do not play the developers characters are few and far between (which is indeed a bad thing). I can respect that they wish there was more freedom in the game. There were plenty of times that I wish I could have done more in the game (particularly influence the actions of my NPC with more permanent changes in their characters). The problem comes with the continuous regurgitation of the same thing over and over, making it come across like KOTOR is somehow an exception to the way games are actually made. Furthermore, I still contend that the game allows you to create the character that you want...admittedly not as varied as Fallout....but I cannot think of any quests in Fallout that can be completed in such a way that quests in KOTOR could not be completed. In Fallout, quests were generally completed in a good or a bad way....same as KOTOR. In Fallout, you generally had options to go in with force, or use more subtle methods such as convincing people that your opinion is right or manipulating the environment.....KOTOR also contains these quests. I'm also commenting on the fact that they do nothing but trash the game as being a poor game since it does not have this freedom that they want so badly....and they reiterate it over and over and over. I'm also commenting on the fact that since the game didn't go exactly the way they wanted, they point out how it is weaker in certain aspects to a different game...when if they were to look at it more objectively they aren't as different as they are making it out to be.
  23. I would imagine one Sith Lord per planet.
