"Hehe, nobody likes Sion except sion67. He's just too ugly." World is just too goddamn cruel.

Could you please kill that huge sig of yours, BC?

If you find the prospect of having a new anal cavity* torn for you intriguing, you should probably post these here. * I love censorship.

" [...] but I feel that not only is the game darker than Feargus

Malak and Bastilla, just placeholders or some sort of flashback?

Man hands.

"Actually I do, and it's been confirmed it's not the Mandalore from KOTOR." So? That doesn't yet screw up the continuity. It just means the Mandalore has changed. "Adria didn't even realize there was a Mandalore in KOTOR..." And? Adria is a mod here at Obsid's boards, she's no dev.

"Your point? Obsidian is continuieing KOTOR, therefore they should continuie it's continuity." And unless you've actually played the game, you don't really know **** about the continuity, do you?

"Meaning that Obsidian couldn't even keep IN GAME Continuity straight." Obsid didn't make K1.

I'm not feeling too confident about myself.

"Please don't take his responce as being genuinly hostile as I'm certain that was not his intent." Really? "Boo! Hiss!!" Could'a fooled me.

You don't really want to.

Kinda funny that you need brains to be a moderator but anyone with brains wouldn't want to be one. Heh, heh.

"not necessarily. there are both depending on the slope and the skill of those that have been skiing it. some tracks are cut purposely, others are cut buy skiers. either way, moguls aren't really for doing "tricks", they're just an obstacle used in freestyle skiing. very hard on the knees, particularly when you're 36" Yeah, I didn't mean that the moguls are for doing tricks. That'd be stupid. But those slopes are often for doing tricks. Probably thanks to racer training, I find them to be the most inane waste of time there is. As for normal slopes with bumps... They're just normal slopes with bumps. A whole different beast from the freestyle slopes. Sure, the bumps are annoying... but specific training for them? I suppose there's some sort of training for icy slopes? What about slopes with loose snowpiles on them? :D

"let me guess, you don't have any downhill skiing in finland, just cross-country?" Is this a joke? 'Cause I don't get it. Of course we got downhill skiing here. I live next to a pretty popular downhill skiing center. "yeah, once you can handle tough slopes, you can take a lesson on skiing in deep powder (not a rule, just a recommendation). you have to do that a little differently since you may be up to your waist in snow..." It's not that difficult to get the hang off ... Though, I do prefer to stay on marked slopes and basicly encounter that kind of snow only when taking short cuts, so, it's really not my forte. "also, bumps mean moguls. there's specific lessons to teach you how to handle slopes with "bumps." it's difficult. even experienced skiers i know don't like bumps." You mean those slopes that are on purpose filled with bumps, etc, where people do tricks?

"like i said, comfortable on a black slope. that requires a fair amount of skill and typically means you can handle turns well as well as speed. once i get to that point, i'll take a powder lesson and maybe a bumps lesson." Uh, "powder lesson"? "bumps lesson"? edit: We really come from different view points here... I take it you're some sort of tourist skier, while I'm someone who started practically as soon as he was old enough to - when I was younger, I belonged to this ski club of sorts. I didn't much enjoy racing though (it felt so goddam restricted), and since that's what they basicly trained you for, I don't anymore. My whole family is pretty big on this skiing thing: my big sister used to do some racing, my father used ski instructor, and so on and so fort. Basicly, when it comes to skiing, I'm an elitist.

"10 days and i'll be comfortable on a black slope... if you really think it takes 10 weeks, maybe you should work on the foot-eye coordination thing a bit more?" I suppose we have different interpretations on what "fairly decent" entails.

Well, no one has time to spend 10 consecutive weeks on a slope. That's why it takes people years to get any good at it.

"it only takes 10 days or so to get fairly decent." Uh, more like 10 weeks of training under an instructor, if you ask me. Yeah, that's what I'd call decent enough not to be painful to look at while going down a slope.

"I started when I was 10, once a year. 2 years ago I started snowblading, and going twice a year (have done it 4 times since then, and getting better and better at it). I'm 20 now, so you do the maths." What does 'once a year' mean, really? That doesn't sound like it's very often...

"So Supernatural is the best word, I guess I should have said "more than human"."

Besides, it's not like you actually have to slow down (it's good for acceleration, too) when you turn if you know what you're doing. "Being able to keep your speed under control is quite an art." And that's where turning comes in. It's not just slowing down - it gives you constant feedback about whether or not you're 'riding' the skis or the skis you, is used for taking the fastest possible route (which rarely is a straight vertical line), can also be used for acceleration... How long (and how regularly) have you been skiing, anyways? "Don't get me wrong, I like to ski normally as well. It just gives me a greater kick at higher speeds. To me, skiing is all about the adrenaline, not about making perfect turns etc." To me as well. From my point of view, keeping the skis under my control is part of that business, however.

"Much more practical IMO. They're lighter to carry, and you don't have silly sticks that get in your way all the time. It's more of a recreational type of skiing though, but I'm not much of a competitive person anyway. Do note, however, that I'm fast as hell on the slopes with those little skis, and I don't know many folks that can keep up. I'm the kind of guy that just goes downhill vertically most of the time, without even taking turns." I bet I'd beat ya'... by taking turns. Riding these lil' beauties: edit: Seriously, you shouldn't really take pride about just going vertically downhill. Rather, you should be ashamed.

Skiing is awesome. I started skiing when I was a five year old and I don't intend to stop it until I'm dead and buried. By the way, I haven't ever broken a single bone doing it, so it's not all that dangerous as they say it is. Just don't do anything you're not confident you can do and learn to fall.

I wish ati finally got their drivers working properly so I could get myself a nice Radeon. World peace would be nice, too.
