  1. Very beautiful, although I'm getting a "The Mist" vibe here, which isn't so good.

     

    Reminds me of this video
    where they drive through a dust storm.

     

    Wow, that looked amazing! :)

     

    If things start going like "The Mist" than i'm movin to Russia.

  2. I thought you had read all of them. It's not really that good, though.

     

    Jacen is a bit of a bitch and Jaina is super whiny.

     

    EDIT: And what was the deal with the Dark Nest trilogy? The writers were smoking some serious crack when they wrote that. The only good thing to come out of that was Alema.

     

    You mean Alema Rar? Jaina's wingmate?

     

    I really have only read VP, Dark Tide 1/2 and Star by Star which POd me because (read at your own risk)

    Anakin dies.

     

  3. Bane is epic, so's Drizzt (though last time I mentioned it here I started an argument, much like always). Same goes for the Elminster books (though to a lesser extent). Most of the FR stuff is good, although some is absolute crap. Harry Potter, it goes without saying, is pure epic win, distilled into book form, though I might be slightly biased towards it, because I grew up with it, and by that I mean Sorcerer's Stone was the first full "book" I ever read. In terms of "literature," with themes and all that crap, Kurt Vonnegut's good. Most Biritsh litterature is absolute crap, with the exceptions being LOTR (aka the greatest book ever) and Dracula.

     

    Of course, this is the greatest book ever written.

     

    I might post more later but here are just a few titles for Mr.Squid to look into:

    The Divine Comedy

    Goethe's Faust

    The Lord of the Rings

    The Hobbit

    Dracula

    The Historian

     

    Good stuff.

     

    Ovid's Metamorphoses*

    *In Latin

     

    Ouch. If its anywhere near as bad as the Aenead then thats one of the most painful things imaginable.

     

    Absolutely true! BTW, did you hear about the new one soon? Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil

  5. You can't expect me to remember every single secondary character in DX. o:)

    Yes. In fact, you really should remember everything about the game, otherwise your PC veteran club membership will be revoked and you will become one of the dirty console peasants.

     

    Hey! I take that as an insult!

  6. The problem with purchasing Kotor off Steam or D2D, is there is no CD key. You must register it with the UPC code provided on the box. Unfortunately, Steam and D2D only provide CD keys, not UPC codes. You can see how this might be a problem if you don't have the box. There are several threads on the Bioware forums complaining of this.

     

     

    Is this simply to post on BioWare's forums and to have it say that you own KOTOR under your user page?

     

    Yeah, and if you do not have a game registered, your avatar does not show. o:) Not like I care, but I like my HK-47 avatar to be displayed prominently. Crappy thing about Bioware, no custom avatars.
