  2. I thought the key selling point was the brand name and and the design that's universal to all the things they produce. It's pop culture.
  3. I do this. However, in my defense I was raised on ninja turtles. It's either call things "awesome," "radical," or "tubular" and people just look at me funny when I say "tubular." I'm not even sure what "tubular" means, but it goes quite well with "totally." Totally tubular, dude!
  4. Yeah. And bragging about that on message boards is rarely the brightest activity.
  5. Probably so they would create a fresh game and not try to just repeat what KOTOR1 did. Avellone mentions one particular way they did suffer trying to imitate KOTOR1 already. The number of planets.
  6. This is what scalpers are doing. Which is why it is notoriously illegal in some places.
  7. I'm with the hippy bashing.
  8. Installing this patch caused a major problem for me. Characters no longer move, they "jump" for a lack of a better move. The animation is fine, but they don't walk smoothly, they just teleport short distances over and over until they reach their destination. Maybe it's related to the beta patch I reverted from before updating. Am completely reinstalling then updating from that. Edit: HAHAHAHAHA And now my fresh installation won't update at all. Is it because it is Direct2Drive? Edit2: Just remembered, ran it once, and it's updating now. Edit3: Fixt
  9. Gold is necessary to purchase items. Purchasing gold is not. My wording does not make it clear, but I'm talking about the exchange of real world money for in-game items using gold as a middle man.
  10. It's believed that having a fully active gold and character selling economy in a world where the item economy is influenced by players can result in gold purchases being necessary to make item purchases. This is what banning gold selling attempts to curb.
  11. Whats that symbol for your 4th party member supposed to represent? That's a bat. Like a familiar or a summon.

    It's been getting CNN.com coverage lately. I'll be honest and say I'd never heard of the problems until this week.
  13. I'm looking up wiki information on antihistamines when I become curious. Just how does one read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chlorphenamine.png I don't know how to read a molecular structure diagram. Does anyone around here know? I'll spend some time today researching how and if nobody beats me to it I'll post later today. And let's keep the thread alive with new questions and explanations. Not just explanations in response to questions, but any non-personal information you feel like teaching people about.
  14. My allergies never showed up until I got an apartment of my own. They're off and on, they first started only showing up when I didn't sleep enough. Today they're just ridiculous. I've taken to holding a paper towel folded into fourths over my mouth and nose and am feeling fine. My lunch is going to consist of a Claritin. Never tried the stuff before but I feel I should give it a chance.
  15. I should create a human named Gordon Freeman to fight them.
  16. At the very least you have the corralation that there are no more United Kingdom entries on that list past 1996.
  17. One of my professors once observed that if you want to know what it is like to be crazy imagine everyone else is crazy instead. Because mostly you don't realise you are the one who is mad. I reckon it would be bloody awful. It all depends upon what you mean by crazy. A disjunction in thought processes that prohibits the ability to cognitively identify with others can also remove the need to even try. Though the ones like you mention are certainly the most tragic.
  18. Looks interesting, how populated is it?
  19. When I get my next paycheck I'll be preordering Mask alongside Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions and a PSP Slim, probably that Daxter pack that comes with Family Guy. Tactics comes out the same day and it's why I'm getting a PSP, so I'll have Amazon just ship all that as one purchase.
  20. Never one to pass up an opportunity for a plug, are you? hahaha Better link.
  21. The 9th.
  22. Wing has an interesting part, where the heroic and ultimately noble person who is on the "villains" side ends up deciding to leave his fake identity behind and become who he truly is. Next time we see him, he basically says it didn't work out and he's back to being the fake identity. Later, he turns completely villanous for reasons I can't remember and tries killing lots of people. Oh, but he's back to being heroic for Endless Waltz. The guy was just screwed in the head.
  23. Really, I believe I made this point three times before you noticed it. I'll bear this in mind that frequent repetition will be required. Nope, you didn't. Simply saying that it lacks non-FPS features of a **** FPS is not saying that it retains those **** FPS features.
  24. Only comparison here. I've seen Pop make this claim but never seen what's supposedly so horrible about it. This has to be a comparison because it's something many FPS games share. Another comparison? Are you Sand's alt?
  25. This is where your argument has failed up to this point. You've only ever pointed out what Invisible War lacks that Deus Ex had. You've never once addressed it as a shooter of its own. Until this sentence. Constantly reiterating the lack of large levels and lack of meaningful choices is all you've ever done until this sentence. Invisible War does indeed have much better shooting mechanics than Deus Ex did, in my opinion. Tons better. No more of that waiting for your aim to steady between pistol shots or else you miss at 5 feet nonsense. Some very interesting biomods, too. Even while focusing on stealth I found there to be some good action to come out of it that I never found in Deus Ex sr.
