  1. Beatles - White Album
  2. How are the thiefy bits?
  3. You mean besides Vagrant Story, Castlevania: SOTN and Tekken 3. P.S.: I haven't played Suikoden 2. :">
  4. The original Suikoden should never have had sequels.
  5. Oh, OK then. But buy a tiny one. 15" inch, if possible. Unless of course you have money pooping abilities.
  6. Haven't you read what I posted? Save your money!
  7. By the way, I forgot cuffawkling.
  8. That would be awesome! ^_^
  9. http://www.supportlibrary.com/nl/users/mas...b/path13-1.html Here are the first pages of the book. It's cheap, so buy it.
  10. I'm guessing that would be hellishly hard to balance.
  11. Fatigue is used in Elder Scrolls games concurrently with a mana system. In my opinion, fatigue kind of makes mana superfluous, though. Umm, that's what I suggested.
  12. I guess you didn't read this part Calax. Still, funny though.
  13. One of my favourite books ever.
  14. How about dealing away with the whole memorizing bit and just change some basic spell stats as the magic user goes up in levels. Example: A first level magic missile would take half an hour to cast, do 1 hit point damage and make the caster 20% tired after using it. A 20th level magic missile would be cast instantly, do 20 hit points damage and not tire the caster at all after using it. Disclaimer: Do not take these numbers seriously, and feel free to add other ways to nerf spells for balancing purposes. P.S.: I'd like to know what the views of Obsidian's designers are on this subject.
  15. Does this mean there are at least 14 people named HIGH ON PIE in the forums?
  16. Don't forget that in terms of the world and DnD logic it makes mages just seem silly. Why a 20th level
  17. The problem is DnD's spell memorization system. It's bloody awful.
  18. This card. Ordered it today. I was going to wait for the 7300GT with GDDR3 memory to come out in Portugal, but I was tired of waiting. No more onboard graphics card for me. And this gamepad. Just 11 euros, and will allow me to play Guilty Gear properly. By the way, for anyone who's thinking of getting a bigger computer monitor just for gaming, don't do it, unless: a) Your current monitor has gone to meet its maker; b) You can poop money; The problem is that larger monitors are always added pressure for you to upgrade the rest of your hardware. 1024x768 looks a lot better in a 17" CRT monitor than in 20"LCD, which means you won't feel the need to upgrade your hardware for a much longer time. In fact, the only reason I have a 17" CRT now, is because my 15" CRT went dead last year.
  19. That wasn't the strategy in the beginning of BG1. In fact, the following strategy was used: Magic missile on the bear to get its attention and then run in circles while Imoen pelts it with arrows.
  20. I'll wait for this to show up on a portuguese server or for the actual game to be released, whichever comes first.
  21. You mean as opposed to that annoying adult as Anakin? The kid was like 8 or 9, what's Heyden's excuse? George Lucas is his excuse. Hayden isn't as bad as he appeared to be in Star Wars.
  22. My hobby is stalking. :ph34r:
  23. While I agree more or less wholeheartedly with the first part of your post, I have to say that, from my point of view, the role of human morality in practical affairs is mostly bugger all. In my opinion, it's all about shifts in power. In the case of slavery in the US, for example, the increasing industrialization in the north shifted power and influence towards those states at the expense of the southern states. This change, associated with a traditional rivalry between the north and south, urged people in power to support the abolition of slavery. Another example of such change would be the fight for women's rights all over the world. The suffragists and the feminists would never have gotten anywhere if it wasn't for the two World Wars. In fact I'd say amorality has been the biggest driving force of human prosperity, at least since the reformation, and probably even before it. What seems to me interesting about this is that industrial and economic progress seems to invariably lead to moral progress, as well. So, in my view, morality isn't necessary to progress, but the inverse is true. P.S.: 3rd world countries are mostly not industrialized. And working in sweatshops isn't slavery. It's pretty close to it, but not quite.
  24. I wrote racism but was thinking slavery. Sorry. :">
  25. Miami Vice. It was good fun. As usual Michael Mann directs some kick ass action scenes, and Gong Li is all kinds of awesome even underused in an action flick.
