You just gotta roll with it. You lead them on until it progresses to the cybersex stage and then you whip you e-prick out. If they cry foul tell them you're roleplaying a pre-op transexual.

You should have no problem then.

Don't forget about their surplus of digits!

Yeah, but the people who live there are inbred mutants! :ph34r:

You're the one tryin' to pawn off the Newfies on us.

Oh f*** yes! Now there's a state that could be taken seriously as a country. World's fifth largest economy bitches. You can have quebec as another state, but Newfoundland has to come as part of the package. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Only if you take Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.

Preliminary analysis indicates that server's locked up pretty tight, I'm impressed. Three real ports open all running services that are pretty unhackable, lots of fake ports. With the exclusion of DOS based attacks and unisolated attacks breaking in is going to be a pain. More to come after sleep.

Since my previous post was deemed inappropriate I'll expand upon it in a civilized manner. The previous post read: At the same time. I do indeed play both sexes in games where playing a different gender makes a difference. Usually I start out with a female for those sultry little polygons and pixels, and sometimes I'll get bored with it halfway through and start a male game up and play it concurrently. Regardless if gender changes gameplay I'll do a playthrough with both eventually, same as with alignment. But I always start with female. Does that makes sense now?

It depends on how long ago you got your AMD 64. AMD switched socket types for their new processors not to long ago. They way I generally do a motherboard upgrade is pick on that will last a considerable amount of time, buy something pricey. A motherboard isn't a thing to skimp on. If you want to be able to use the same motherboard you'd be better off upgrading the CPU so you had the option to upgrade in the future. Is this clear enough or do I need to explain it differently?

If you can afford to upgrade the MOBO as well you definitely should, but then you'd also probably have to get a new CPU so it may or may not be worth it to you at this point in time.

I too feel the need for a sense of realism while I am in my inventory and changing my party's armor. This is a situation that must be rectified at once. I feel that all party members must have fashionable 20th century or later undergarments to sate my lust for realism. This situation must be rectified at once.

Huh? lol No she just explained that she simulated a cave outside ..rofls. That's not my gripe. I'm talking about all interiors having an elevated tileset, and Obsidian forgot those. :crazy: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everybody understands your gripe. Those with sense also understand that it's possible to evoke the same feel by tweaking an exterior so it looks underground. At this point I'm just gonna say you're looking for a reason to complain and leave it at that unless you can explain to everyone precisely why this workaround wouldn't work in certain instances.

For lunch tomorrow I'm gonna have a seven layer turkey sammich. Assemble bread of your choice, butter, gravy, green beans, dressing, smashed potatoes and turkey into a haphazard and overstuffed sammich. Eat with a fork or lots of napkins.

No, not yet. Dialup, I'll read it on Monday when I'm sitting on my school's hi-speed connection. I have read Preacher though! Oh, and in a battle between Eden and Jesse Jesse all the way. I mean, his voice is the freaking Word of God.

She screws with people's emotions on a chemical level through the production and excretion of pheromones. Wallflower

Eden isn't necessarily a telepath. If she was then HRG wouldn't need the black guy. Maybe she's more like Wallflower?

The stuffing's supposed to go inside the turkey. That's why it's called stuffing. Extra stuffing goes in a pan and is called dressing.

You think that's bad, my ex-girlfriend dumped me for my ATi card after I caught the two of them in bed together. I walk in and here I am thinking it's my best friend but no, she's screaming at the top of her lungs "OH BABY PUSH THOSE POLYGONS!" Bastard.

No, no, thats a common misconception. You see, all the racing takes place in a futurinstic underground city. The game takes place after the great Road Wars of 2015. Everyone lives underground because the Earth's topside is not livable. Most people just assume it takes lace at night time, because they miss this crucial backstory. Also, there aren't any clouds or stars in the sky. Anything that you see that resmebles that are just cavern walls and artificial lights. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Somebody's read too much Asimov.

At Surr's request. Basically if you are a US resident it is pretty easy to get into a University if you have a little bit of perseverence. Tuition is high, but there are grants, scholarships, and student loans you can apply for. As I said before, if you can't get any of these because of a poor academic track record or whatever, you can clean up your act at a community college for a couple of years until your transcript looks better. Community colleges can also be an attractive option, because the way it works in California at least, is students coming out of a community college get top transfer priority, i.e. if you're stacked against a newbie out of highschool with an identical transcript/qualifications to you, you're in; period. Community colleges are also hella cheap compared to universities. I learned from a friend that came from out of the country to study at NYU that if you're foreign you apply for pretty much diddly except a few foreigner specific aid options.

It wasn't a sarcastic smiley. It was the "shifty" smiley because I thought your comments were rather limited in their scope. In the future I suppose I'll refrain from posting smileys when a comment appalls me. Most people use that smiley when they're saying something tongue in cheek as far as I can tell, so I took it that way. If you had used the <_< smiley, it would've gone a lot further to indicating resentment to me. It seems to me that in order to get the free stuff, you have to be pretty open about the fact you're an addicted heroin user. Agreed, but that was just the way it was in my house, I can pull up anecdotal evidence from other acquaintances that suffer from having parents who are addicts, hell my best friend right now has one, who while not particularly abusive are royal f***ups as parents because they can't ever remember what they've said or they're too out of their head to hold a coherent conversation. Did anyone really say that it would solve the problem? Though perhaps it could open up avenues to help solve the problem. A place like a clinic that provides the drugs could just as easily provide addicts with information about where they can go and what they can do if they do want to kick the habit. I'm not a big drug user, but I suspect the drug dealer on the street isn't too interested in you kicking your habit, so it may be somewhat difficult to get that information out of him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Look at the first post I made in this thread. I was quoting Gorgon. He was saying that addicts could lead productive lives. To me that is saying that being an addict is an okay thing and there is no reason to change. To me that is not okay. I really don't want to pick a fight with you alan because by and large I've agreed with pretty much every post you've made in this thread. I am just not ready to say that it is acceptable to live your life in a state sanctioned drug induced coma; you'll put the poor psychiatrists out of business.

And I took exception to the fact that you got pissed off because of the personal significance it had in your life, while at the same time doing nothing more than offering "condolences" because someone suffered in a way that you didn't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> FFS alan, the only reason I offered that sappy condolences post after your own was because I took you for being facetious because of the sarcastic little smiley. Honestly I was only offering up the anecdotal evidence because I know the opinions of a lot of alcoholics and addicts of heavier stuff on what helped them stop, what made them realize what they'd done to their lives, etc. As far as abuse from my own father, it's pretty much the most lackluster addicted parent story evar. He went dry when I was five and before that all he did was buy a bottle of wine, down it, go into an alcoholic blackout and then sleep until the next morning. He never had hangovers, he was never abusive towards me, I didn't even know he was drinking. But that was the entire problem because he was lying to everyone, and the deception between him and my mom was destroying their relationship. He stopped after he got a DUI with my little sister in his car on his way to pick me up from school. It was the first and last time he didn't drink with the intention to just fall asleep and forget his troubles. I am okay with the posts about how it would help society economically, free up police officers, junk like that; but don't try and say it's a solution for the addictions because only the addicts can solve that for themselves. To steal Gorgon's turn of phrase from the discussion we were having about education, it's just a band aid. A makeover for the external and most visible side effects of substance abuse at best.

Yes, I'm sure that makes everything all right. So not only does the junkie STILL get their fix, other people have to needlessly suffer along side them. The reason why they "give" the drugs to the addict isn't to "solve their problems" (in your words), nor is it even to save money. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I understand that and if you backtrack a little bit you'll see that I never tried to argue that, well I did admit the financial benefits but I digress. What I took exception to was the people in this thread saying that this was a good fix. It's not. They're still gonna be destroying their lives and those around them, just in more subtle, emotional, less violent crime statistic ways.

What about the family that suffers through their son getting murdered, because some junkie needed some extra cash for his fix? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I send them my condolences.
