  1. Oh, momma, tha's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
  2. Whose playing the Christians?
  3. One idiot's vote over another's? Would it really matter?
  4. which would otherwise be used to subsidize taxpayer initiatives. in the end, it is taxpayers' money. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We'll just have to disagree there.
  5. That's a good one, too.
  6. No, it's not. The article said the money would be payed using unclaimed lottery money.
  7. They should have called the whole series 'Trial and Error.' I'm playing FEAR, btw.
  8. Beware Spellforce 2 it uses StarForce. Glad you enjoyed the game. I hope Obsidian makes a Kotor 3. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I know how to bypass StarForce
  9. Hah...yeah, I forgot about Mira. I guess she died. Goto? Meh, I never really bothered with him anyway. And my character didn't leave without saying goodbye to his friends. The bond between the PC and Kreia, well, Oh well. I liked it, and no amount of reflection is going to change the initial enjoyment I got out of it. Perhaps I missed some minor points that didn't strike me until they were brought up here, but that tends to happen when it's passed midnight.
  10. Geezy Chreezy, Viscy. Do you tell people, "in a few years, I hope to be half the man I am today?" Just kidding. How tall are you, btw? I weighed 310 lbs once and now I'm down to 205-210. I haven't had any junk food or sweets since the beginning of April and if I can do it (I must be a junkfood addict, because I still get mad cravings every once in a while), anybody can. Take everyone elses advice, I guess, but just remember to stick with it. Results won't come quickly.
  11. That's right, I finally finished it. It was a lot better the second time I played it (got up to a certain point involving Atton that I just quit playing). I'm not really sure what to say...I was expecting the bottem to drop out at the end like a lot of people seemed to complain about. I didn't get that feeling at all. The whole game seemd to really get rolling after Nar Shadda and I couldn't stop playing. The whole thing threw me for a loop. A lot of things happened that I didn't expect to happen ( which I won't name here). Obsidian did a great bit of story-telling the whole way through. Why did everyone complain about the ending? It was no worse than most other RPGs out there. BG, Fallout, KotOR1, etc. It wasn't spectacular or anything, but it surely did not detract from the rest of the game in the least. It even gave an "epilogue" of sorts about all the characters and places. I've not seen that since Fallout, for crying out loud! For the rest of the game, wow. I have no idea how many things I missed. Just caught a thread about being able to convert Atton to a Jedi (a dark Jedi, at that!), and I was like WTF!? How did I miss that? Now I don't know if it was the way that I played the game that made it happen or I just lucked into the situation, the way the game handled the situation with the Handmaiden (made her a Jedi) and the timing of the events that unfolded was pretty spot on, following through the whole story. Hmm..maybe I can give the game another proper run through? I would, but I just got FEAR and Spellforce 2. The use of skills in dialogue (and in general) was pretty good. If Obsidian can do as well with NWN2, I'll be more than happy. The saber animations and fights were awesome (though easy) to watch, every style included (two sabers, double sabers, single). Made fighting tons of sith fun to watch. Sometimes I just let the battles play out and put my cursor to the side of the screen so it would rotate around the action. Dizzying, but cool, nonetheless. All in all, kudos Obsidian. Job very well done. Thanks for the game
  12. Yes, BOD was damn fun. I can't believe how good it was, actually. Gruesome as hell, ta boot.
  13. Let's just say, hypothetically, that I don't know where to look. Where do you look? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pricewatch and those types of sites seem to have good deals most of the time...hypothetically. And there's always ebay, if you trust that.
  14. I think it would be neat if they avoided Star-Fleet alltogether and based a series around some pirates or something. Think Firefly in the Star Trek universe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hum... Firefly is "Firefly in the Star Trek universe". That was one the major inspiration for the show, having pirates in a Star Trek universe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but it's NOT Star Trek. Is it?
  15. I don't know if there's a general trend... but I can tell you what happened during the GeForce 6 -> 7 transition. The 6800 Ultra used to be the ultra high-end. When the 7800GTX came out to replace it, nVidia disowned the 6800 Ultra and started phasing it out. However, it was still "selling" at online retailers at exorbitant prices, although I can't understand why anyone would buy it. The 6800GT used to be the little brother of the 6800Ultra, and when the 7800GT was launched, the 6800GT's price was slashed to bring it down to the upper mid-range. IIRC the price cuts actually happened within a couple of weeks of the 7800GT launch. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Best thing about PC gaming. You can always find the not-so-top-of-the-line hardware to still give you stunning visuals for really great prices if you know where to look.
  16. I fall short of the Recommended specs in the CPU and video card...but by that time, I'll have the lute (yeah, I said it) for an upgrade. I just want them to do something cool with the engine, not just jungle and sterile corrider stuff. I want some imagination in my game!
  17. It might actually be worth seeing now! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ORLY? Isn't Megatron a jet in this one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What was he in the cartoons?
  18. Does it have gamepad/controller support?
  19. wow...so that's what it looks like when someone agrees with you.
  20. Not sure if discussions of such things are allowed here, but I'll ask anyway, as I'm at a loss. I'm tryingto download some old video clips, but whenever I click on a torrent to download it (using Opera browser's built in client), it gets the file information, then, without fail, sit at 0% completed in the actual file transfer. Can someone help me remedy this situation? I'm pretty sure I'm not behind a firewall and all that. And in case you can't tell, I'm relatively new to this torrent thing...
  21. Saw it. Worth the 4 bucks.
  22. Pirates of the Caribbean. Good movie. I want the third one....NOWish.
