Wow. I finally caught Akari on one of his weekend work days! Anyhow, time for my only question: Will the PC-version of KotOR 2 have real mouse-look this time, instead of that horizontal mouselook from the first game?

Just a quick note to let you all know that Dreamcatcher Games has promised to deliver a single- and multiplayer demo for September 1. Be prepared to download 180MB to see what this game is all about. The demo will be found here: http://www.dungeonlords.com/

I'm sure the "Swedish Redneck" will soon rise again!

I can't stand to watch women's gymnastics. 16 year old girls who've trained so much they've stopped their bodies from evolving properly, thus making them look like freaks, with lots and lots of make-up on and fake smiles all the time. And the point system! "Oh, you fell? Then you only get a 9.999875!", "And heeeere's the winner with 9.999925!".

Uhm.. My Far Cry came on a DVD..? What kind of weird version did you buy?

Damn. I used to stare at that jumping girl for hours..

You see? The Pentium 4 is slower than the Ahtlon 64..

Well, in that case it's "follower", not follwer.

I own a Radeon 9800 Pro myself and it comes with its own fan that's very effective. It doesn't do much damage to the heat-level inside your case. Strangely enough, the harddrives seem to generate much more heat than the graphics card for me.. With three case fans you should be more than ok, seeing as I have none.

How do you guys know so much about the Star Wars universe?? You seem to know about as much about the Star Wars universe as I know about our own universe!

Damn.. I only have one real question (that might have been asked already) but I'm never here for Weekend Programmer.. Could some kind soul ask Akari if KotOR2 on the PC has REAL mouselook this time? And if he answers "no" then could you please slap him from here to eternity?

I guess you true Star Wars/KotOR fans are a special bunch.. because I would prefer to have no back-story at all. Not even a name, appearance or anything. I want my character to be a blank slate that I can fill in myself. I realize that this isn't a viable option for a game like KotOR/KotOR2, but that's my preference.

Damn! I chose "Improved Trolling and Flaming" but it isn't working properly.

There's actually a huge difference between the 9800 and the 9600. They're not based off of the same GPU, and the 9800 has much better hardware stats. 9600 is a middle range card while the 9800 used to be the high end card (before the X800). It's very easy to find this information on the internet, but I'll settle for a picture: Eldar: Feel free to post the final specs to see how much of an influence we've made

First of all: There's no land called "Terrorland" or "Terroria". It's not a nationality or ideology. Some terrorists attack whale hunting boats (Greenpeace), while some terrorists switch places on soup cans in the supermarket (put the huge brands at the bottom and the unknown brands in the spotlight). Do you really think all terrorists hate America? Do you really believe all terrorists should die? Do you really want to side with taks in this matter? Those terrorists that attack America doesn't hate America for being America. They are seeking vengeance for what the American government is doing to the world. Killing americans is just "collateral damage" as the american media is so fond of calling it. Please read this: http://www.krysstal.com/democracy_whyusa.html It is an informative list of different reasons why so many people resent America.

The graphics card is fine. You don't really want to go with the XT-version of the Radeon 9800, since it's only an overclocked version of the Pro. You can overclock the Pro-model yourself later if you want to. But if you have a LOT more money to spend you could perhaps get a X800Pro instead. Very expensive but 50% faster than the 9800Pro. Those two items in the quote above could easily be traded for a faster Athlon 64-system for the same price. The Nforce3-250 even has a built-in hardware firewall that's supposed to be very effective.

Is it just me or did all the custom titles disappear? I know mine did, and I can't find the place where I used to find it anymore.. I want it back!!

Uhm.. I wonder how many of us would still be here if this rule was enforced..

I've never understood why people need a religion to act "good". I'm an atheist myself because I can only see the disadvantages of religions around the world. I still believe I'm a good person with lots of sympathy, empathy and high moral grounds.

I don't see how this would be possible in KotOR2 since the developers have clearly stated that the maps will be the same size (probably due to limitation within the engine). Maybe if they made more maps, but that would double or triple the size of the game..

You wouldn't believe how much your own music score can intensify the gaming experience. I used to play GTA3 while listening to Rage Against the Machine.. "KILLING IN THE NAME OF Damdadam dadada" and so on Not sure if it would work for KotOR2 though.

This is probably as far off topic as you can get, but I just read today that Gothic 3 will be 4 times larger than Gothic 2 and they are seriously considering mounts! Damn, that would rock! I've always wanted to speed through the lands of Gothic Ahem, but I voted no for KotOR2. The maps are too small and they would feel even smaller if you could speed through them.

I'd rather play a Hutt and lend out money to unsuspecting adventurers.

I used to play Tetris on a Gameboy so much that when I fell asleep at night I spent the entire night dreaming about falling tetris-pieces and feeling frustrated because I couldn't clear the playing board (as in getting rid of every little piece from the board in one perfect combination).

I speak swedish (naturally), english, german and some spanish. But I probably forgot a lot of the spanish, even though I should still understand most of it.
