KOTOR was, in fact, turn-based combat. If it was real-time combat, you'd throw a power attack when you pressed the button. But instead, you press it and then wait your turn. That's pretty ****ty real-time combat.

Well, if you really hate the guy, he's probably going to give quests and such, he's not going to be a member of your party (I hope). Therefore, you could roll the dice on the plot and just off the thing, after you're done with it. That way everybody's happy.

I'm ... confused.

Best show on television.

What are your vid specs? I have the same problem when I run NWN on my laptop, but my laptop isn't built to handle engines that complex (yeah, my laptop sucks).

No problem, I don't own it, and I don't want to go through the hassle of properly stealing it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And the problem with going out and buying it would be? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have not the monies for such a venture (currently unemployed). If I had money, I'd be saving it to get more RAM or a better video card, such that I could run NWN2 better. I probably won't be running it very smoothly.

I'd be happy with a game that has texted-out criticals again "Molerat is critically hit in the head for 211 points of damage. The sound it makes is not unlike a bag full of soup hitting concrete." I played a bit of NCR today, that part where the crazy guy blows himself up, and I realized how well they did the multiple-solution deal. You can a. talk him out of killing himself b. kill him c. let him explode and then fix the computer or d. let him explode and let the girl fix the computer. It seems to me like most RPGs are content to only let you do A and B, or in Oblivion's case, B.

No problem, I don't own it, and I don't want to go through the hassle of properly stealing it.

With the tremendous amount of Western Civilization I've been studying lately, I've decided to give Civ 3 another crack. It's not as satisfying as Civ 2 was so long ago, but it's not Call to Power (thank God) Go Persians!

NSFW! Don't say I didn't warn you

THE TICK THE ****ING TICK I SAY You people don't know what you're missing. FREAKAZOID TOO btw, some of the guys who made the Tick are now working on the Venture Brothers, and the influence really shows. TVB being perhaps the best comedy on TV right now. I also loved the X-Men cartoon show and, to a lesser extent, Batman and Superman, and, to an even lesser extent than that, Spiderman. Batman Beyond was also pretty good, even though it came about rather late in my Saturday-morning-cartoon-watching life.

"Wow... I didn't even realize that was Trent. He looks different these days. More... British, I guess, now that you mentioned it." It's the short hair. I'm kind of glad he cut it, it was kind of ridiculous with him getting all bulked up to have long hair. But his age shows more, now. I have had the fortune of coming across This site, which consists of a lot of game S/Ts in .mp3 format for download. It's got the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack (which I'm listening to now, easily my favorite soundtrack ever) and the BG themes. I'm just floating through my gamer nostalgia......

That's a bit of a stretch.

"(and any other GC gems I missed)" lol!

I was never a big guns man. I'd either have power armor and an energy weapon (if it was late in the game) or use some psycho and a shotgun. In fact, I'd say the slaughters at the slaves guild, the cathedral and the huboligist's bunker are some of the funner parts of the games, for me. Falllout combat does work for PnP. I got a hex mat yesterday and ran my PCS through some dynamic special encounters. It's a seamless transition.

Heh, yeah, having 14 slavers come at you, one at a time, only made it more fun to systematically destroy them man by man.

Having played both D&D and Fallout extensively, I prefer the first system (SPECIAL, in this case). Making percentile rolls seems simpler and more intuitive to me. Oddly enough, I played Fallout first as a cRPG, but D&D was my first PnP.

Boy - Up in This Town Zero 7 - Destiny Coil - Cold Dream of an Earth Star The Streets - Turn the Page If anyone's interested, NIN (hey, look at my avatar!) has put up a teaser vid for the W_T tour DVD. I saw them 3 times this tour, and I have to say I'm unsure as to whether the awesomeness of NIN live will translate all that well into crisp HD format. It certainly makes Trent look more like a British street thug than a composer of music.

Hey! Don't talk smack about Denver's weather . We have better winter weather than California. Most of the snow goes to the mountains while we enjoy mostly sunny weather in the city. We get about two weeks ( on average ) of 'cold as a son-of-a-bitch' weather each winter. The rest of the time I just wear a light work jacket. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bah, two weeks my eye. You don't live up north here. We get months of that stuff.

Does Michael Ironside really cost big bucks? Sure he's done big movies but he's also done quite a bit of trash, and I'd much prefer the real thing to a soundalike. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's a pretty prolific B-movie actor. He's all over the Sci-Fi channel. I myself much prefer Lance Henriksen. His game work (ie Red Faction 2, which I had the misfortune of playing) has not been good, though.

Well, yes (I still own Thief 3, but I gave away IW) I meant, who has the rights to Deus Ex now, or rather, has it gone the way of BG?

Gemcrafting is for drawves and elves are the wizards. Gnomes still have illusionary aspects with their bardic spells. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, stoneworking is for dwarves. Gnomes (especially svirfnebli) share mining and gemcrafting affinities with dwarves. That's why they get along, generally. Both are subterannean races, oftentimes they band together against common threats. I can't understand why we've got so many negative nancies out here. Have a little faith. Obsidian hasn't let us down yet. Does a name like "Sand" really connotate a bad character? I don't see how it does.

Not Luxembourg!

It's more when the drives are nearly full that they slow down. You can buy it again. I'm just at the end of Hell's Kitchen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But but but did Deus Ex go out with Ion Storm, is what I'm asking.

Heh, a Wikipedia reformation has happened before. A bunch of Wikipedia trolls went off to form their own group, Encyclopedia Dramatica, which is a wiki concerning itself with internet drama and fads. Sometimes it's funny, most of the time it's just crass.
