  1. why are you spamming?
  2. Well the pre-release toolset which they are previewing has been released. YOU LOSE GAME OVER ROFL or whatever
  3. blizzard = polished games. i cant really understand, first you complain if a game is released unfinished and then you complain when a game developer delays their games until they are finished.
  4. BG1TuTu with a friend, and it's a blast. Feels like i'm playing it for the first time. Cleric/Thief FTW!
  5. Some murakami book, or akira if comics count.
  6. so what is it?
  7. Explain why staying alive is more important then actually living. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> First, that's a logical contradiction. Living is worthless when one is not alive. Second, there is a heirarchy to happiness. We've got health on the one hand, and we've got aesthetic pleasure on the other. The argument can simply and effectively be presented as a comparison. Consider that we're judging art and medicine on the basis of the "good" that they provide. First we have to define the "good", and for the purposes of my argument I'll define it under classical utilitarianism, as in the creation of happiness and the prevention of pain. Under this model, it becomes necessary to distinguish between the orders of happiness. The highest happinesses being the excercise of one's right to life and continued existence, and the lowest happinesses being the fulfillment of base desires. A desire for sketch comedy, in this case. So let's weigh these two concepts. Creation and distribution of, say, antibiotics, or clean water, with sketch comedy. Sketch comedy may cause happiness and pleasure in those that watch it, this is undeniably true. But antibiotics cure plagues, prolong life and thus, maximize our potential for happiness. Many people would be happy that they were able to effectively cheat death. Reasonable calculus weighs medicine against art. The assumption that life is not worth living without certain arbitrary sensory pleasures is irrational, animalistic hedonism. It also implies that those who are unable to enjoy art are not truly alive, which is a narcissistic claim at best. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> zappa would disagree.
  8. of course volourn finds all spells useful. he's a NWN champion.
  9. editing photoshop colour profiles. boring
  10. Don't **** on the board. Both art and medicine have their value, but medicine has the kind of utility art doesn't even come close to. I'd rather have a polio vaccine than a Beatles record. Alexander Fleming is a hero and a savior of millions, Toby Jones wrote some funny sketches. But the implication that he deserves cancer is your retarded, simple logic, not mine. If we're lucky, somebody more important than he is will cure his cancer, and then everybody will be happy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sarcasm dude, sarcasm. and the thing is, you cant choose. i'm pretty damn happy for monty python, they've given me a lot of good moments. and what does terry jones's achievements in comedy have anything to do with other peoples achievements in medicine/philosophy/anything else?
  11. yeah man, terry jones, what a douche. i mean medicine is way more imporant than comedy, that guy had basically killed thousands of people by not becoming a doctor. he deserves cancer.
  12. you wouldnt say that if your mom hadnt had it.
  13. i think it was more about having to limit the game so it'll run on xbox. check Thief 3 or DE:IW for reference. luckily bio pulled it off, KOTOR wasnt that bad.
  14. i thought they removed discipline?
  15. If we Swedes dont need localised games, neither do you. (in the near future, publishers will drop localisation entirely as its too expensive) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and pretty useless too. then again you always get a chuckle or two from the translation. how come fantasy speak sounds so nerdy and ridiculous in every other language than english?
  16. Puppet Mode FTW.
  17. Yeah yeah vol, we all know how much you love bioware.
  18. KOTOR, TES and NWN1 OC are all the same. boring.
  19. what, no finnish version?
  20. if you like uninspired, chiched fantasy plots that make the ****tiest JRPG plots look good then no.
  21. lots and lots of expansions for NWN 2. And patches. after that, IPs all the way.
  22. The Futures - Evil "Eletric Wave From The Underworld" (2002)
  23. Shuji Inaba - Fate And Fortune "Yoenzange [2006 Remaster]" (2001)
  24. Wait, Ys as in the game? The soundtrack's supposed to be amazing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, it's the new joanna newsom album. not affiliated with NWN2 in any way.
