  1. Its more than excessive, its plain nuts. The guy is getting what youd get for taking an axe and chopping up an entire family, except all he did was push a few buttons on his keyboard. The punishment should be relative to the severity of the crime. 5 months in a low-security prison would be more fitting.
  2. .. only, they e I think thats a healthy attitude. People can go on about serving your country but all in all, its about doing the bidding of a bunch of suits that are only in it for the money. And duty, honour etc. are just constructions to persuade you to do it.
  3. Thats fine as long as youre only doing them for yourself... although it isnt a good method for developing drawing skills. (the reason why Im going on about this is because weve been doing concept design and 2D art for months now at Uni and its some of the best and most rewarding classes Ive ever taken in my life.)
  4. Its much better if you would make a regular 3/4 view of your characters instead of a straight forward "modelsheet". Its easier to get a sense of the character. There is concept art and production art, forward+sideways views belong in the production department
  5. If I was to be executed if I refused the draft then I would of course join, unless I could somehow flee the country. And if I did join, I would desert at the first opportunity to do so. Sacrificing your life or murdering other people for a cause you dont believe in is complete madness. Very often its madness if you do believe in it aswell.
  6. And they would play better on the PC aswell, GoW with the 360 controller was just awkward and messy
  7. Oxymoron-class. You cant have a story in an MMO any more than you can in a game of QuakeIII. Sure, you can create a story that "generic grindquest instance 356" is about killing some evil person in order to..whatever, but since you kind of go back and kill that same person 50times in the average MMO, that kind of goes out the window. The only way you can make an MMO with story is to step outside of the norms of the MMO genre, and no publisher would pay you to do that when they think someones sitting on the next WoW.. which was a game that did exactly what every other MMO did
  8. Those look great, will you be using them with your own project or will the pack be available for anyone to download?
  9. I was perplexed that there is no winter/snow texture in NWN2 so I made one real quick. Our modteam is in pre-pre-produtction right now, we'll have 10 weeks full production time starting in April
  10. NWN2 and Medieval: Total War 2 ..and I might look into that Swedish game by Avalanche "Just Cause" even though its supposedly less than stellar
  11. I play girls in CRPGs because of the "Lara Croft" syndrome, but generally males in PnP although I have played female once or twice.. but it doesnt really work in PnP because noone could really imagine me as a girl
  12. Turkey is easy to cook, its just a matter of not cooking it too long so itll go dry. Its all in the sauce and stuff. Now a Swedish Christmas ham takes an expert. Not only do you have to know your hams well enough to buy the right ham, but you will need to cook it carefully with love to get the optimal flavour and texture. A good christmas ham needs to be baked overnight so it takes precision cooking. " ( Im serious )
  13. You cant lower the resolution on LCD monitors. If your native resolution is 1600x1050, then thats what you run (sure, you can do it, but itll look like poop)
  14. Hype of the year, nothing else. Noone will even remember it in 3-4 months, just like F.E.A.R
  15. I think that lobotomy would be the best solution for serial rapists. They would be able to perform simple work like cleaning etc. so they could hold a job to support and not be a weight on society, but they would become completely pacified by the procedure.
  16. The thing was that Alfred Nobel wanted to benefit those people whom he believed did the most for mankind, and also what he himself considered interesting. Litterature Physics Chemistry Medicin Peacework The Swedsh national bank award for economics didnt happen until more than 70years after the death of Alfred Nobel. It is not a price that is philantropic in any way, and thus it sort of contradicts the point. Despite being an industrialist, Alfred Nobel did not consider economics to be anything worth mention
  17. Yup. But another animation thing; is the lack of animation for cleave attacks intentional(had to be cut) or a bug?
  18. He lived a long life, hope he had fun. But the idea that letting the market run free is the key to prosperity and democracy is just plain nuts, its economic anarchy and it only encourages companies to become increasingly ruthless in their pursuit of profit. Thats wrong. http://nobelprize.org/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it is a greyzone. The economy prize was not insitigated by Alfred Nobel but by the national bank of Sweden in 1968 under the name "Swedens national bank award in economic science to the memory of Alfred Nobel". The prize is not paid for by the Nobel Foundation but by the bank, what makes it confusing is that the award is handed out at the same ceremony as the real awards. After a while it got so mixed up that the differance is not emphasized anymore.
  19. Agreed, noone wants to play the oldschool boring healer who is just the partys ever-present errand-boy "Yo clergyboy! Heal me, you jerk!" and "Come on and buff me ffs!" Ive played two clerics in D&D 3.5 PnP and they are not overpowered nor do they deserve to be nerfed. They lack the offensive capabilities of the mages and they do not have a BAB high enough to be up there with fighters, paladins and rangers
  20. Im born 1980 so its pretty easy to figure out when I got my NES. I wasnt a good player though, I didnt finish any game except "chip n' dale" and that was with the cheat
  21. Do you need to have a recipe book in your inventory to be able to craft something or can you use recipes off the internet? And I would like to be able to actually customize the appearance of the stuff you make like in the toolset.
  22. Its not complicated at all, Ive already made some +2 fullplates and various weapons for a fraction of the purchase price Still, I dont think the "craft wondrous items" feat is that useful, its better to just get "craft magic weapons and armour" I cant tell if this feeling of "it was better in the good old days" is true or if I would have thought that figurine was kickass when I was 13-14.
  23. I finally got my NWN2 Collectors Edition! ) the swede lawful good edition contains: A map which is very obviously made of.. paper? Where's my cloth map? One very ugly figurine of a warrior with purpleish skin. The sculpt is good but the paint is bad A huge ring with the neverwinter eye and text "lawful good" in blue in ye olde fonts NWN2 on DVD NWN + SoE + HotU on one DVD CD with a flash presentation of artwork, trailers, feargie interview from ign. All unfortunantly show in a window thats about 300x200 so you cant see diddley squat Artpad with about 20 pages printed on rough paper which makes it hard to see details DDO trial key Neat, but C.E's felt more worth it back in the 90's
  24. Aaron did paint it. No copy and pasting there. He's also responsible for my avatar. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dang! My appologies then It does look exactly like a photo of a gorilla head at this resolution, the rendering and light is spooky.
  25. I listen to music, in fact, Im a music nazi. And thats the reason I dont listen to popular music. But I guess they will never release a "Singstar: Progressive rock of the 1970's" that feature 10minute songs with weird vocal harmonies that change tempo every other bar
