You just have to petition the league to get rid of the third period. Then Buffalo would be in last place in Toronto would be in first.

You are correct. The person that casts the spell has to have the appropriate crafting feats. EDIT: Bishop is not GOTO. Bishop at least is decent in a fight.

What are you playing now?
I'm currently playing Starscape. The picture above is an image of the sector map for the final zone. I'm that little grey thing near the top of the map. Top row, third node from the left. I just lost my main butt-kicking fighter because of a mini-boss who happened to hide himself in an asteroid field. The mini-boss isn't a very accurate shot since it doesn't track your ship very well, but it does a lot of damage once it starts hitting. Of course it also happens to be an interdictor ship which prevents me from warping out of the area. While I went in with my usual strafing run (Go full speed past the ship. Cut the engines, rotate 90 degrees and coast past the enemy while giving him a face full of plasma torpedos.) I ran into an asteroid. The asteroid fragmented and while I was busy bouncing off all the little asteroid chunks the interdictor managed to start hitting me and soon my butt kicking fighter was nothing but lots of little component pieces floating in space. I managed to make it back to the mothership in my escape pod thankfully. Now we get to the bad news. Since I'm playing on hard mode, the moment my fighter blows up, the game overwrites my save so I can't go back to before I lost the ship. On top of that, one of the pieces I lost was basically an information pod that would give me the location of a hidden node that holds the secret weapon for the level. Now if I can draw your attention back to the map for a moment, you'll notice all the red dots next to many of the nodes. These denote enemy forces. The larger the dot the heavier the concentration of enemies. The orange dot in my area shows that there is an enemy mining ship there. The green galaxy looking nodes are warp nodes. You can warp from one green node to another without having to go through all the intervening spaces. They also allow you to transition between different zones, or levels if you will. Only the top most and the left most warp nodes allow me to exit this zone and go back to one that is devoid of enemies where I can mine safely. The tricky part now, is making it from my current location to one of those two nodes that will allow me to leave the area. What makes it tricky is that I have to fight my way out through those enemy forces in the default fighter that has bugger all for weapons/armour and no shields. It's basically about as effective as an escape pod armed with a level one blaster that does almost zero damage to the enemies in the current area. Each time you move from one node to another that contains enemy forces, they pull you out of warp and into the node where you have to fight them. There is also a timer before you can warp back out, so you need to survive for a certain length of time before you can leave, meaing that I have to protect my mothership till it can jump away at which point I have to dock as fast as I can and hope to god I don't run into any more interdictor ships or I'm screwed.

I watched that game and, wow, talk about bad goaltending. I know there were some screens set up, but there was some bad net work out there. I'm glad to see Boston is putting it together. They had a 4-1 lead, let Montreal tie it. Went up 5-4, let Montreal tie it. Finally, the 6-5 lead stuck. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't get to see the game as it wasn't televised here, but considering what happened with the goaltending I suppose it's just as well... <_<

STAR WARS: The best of PC
I sucked at that game. I couldn't beat the demo level on anything above easy mode. On the plus side, if you jacked up the difficulty just before you beat they level it would double or triple your score.

I remember that game. Only played the demo, but I recall having a lot of fun playing it. ^_^

That would be why you just buy the current big then and then 6 months later buy the next big thing anyway? I wish I had that kind of money. :'(

No, Galactic Battlegrounds was the one that seemed like an AoE mod. Rebellion was completely different.

I actually lost them all last time I reformated, which was after that post that you quoted, but thanks to Sargy I now have the complete set. Do you have both LOL versions?

Sure it does, but you have to rollback to version 1.02 before you update.

Cool. I'll have to try that. Hopefully that's another one of those settings that has no impact on framerate.

I don't think I've caught an episode since episode 4 or 5. I've still got them all recorded, but I haven't bothered to watch them.

You aren't FORCED to have the maximum number of party members (it's a maximum); just take the ones you want. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Meta: Reading Comprehension -5 pts. He wanted to know if there was any way to take even more companions, not fewer of them. Lucius: Yeah, textures can get a little pixelated when you zoom in. I'm also running on high textures. I haven't really noticed the pixelation so much sunce I'm usually zoomed out so much.

Why wii? why have thou done this to me?
Makes one long for the days of the NES. Now there was a controller. All those sharp edges on everything. Guaranteed to give you blisters before you managed to tear yourself away.
