  1. Its the old one, is the newer one just more powerful or is it quieter? Im waiting for the Zalman VF700 to arrive, when that arrives Ill have most of the sonic filth eliminated(if it fits my 6800U that is)
  2. If we're gonna play any map but the sstandard one, count me in. And I mean, every map, even the basic one, has flaws and exploits.
  3. Yeah, I just realised that my class is most likely going to consist of a bunch of sweaty geeks. And they wont even have cool beards like they did in the 70's 20 per year and youre judged by work samples. It wasnt an interview just a teacher calling everyone who applied for a bit of a chat. She said that they primarily looked for creativity not, skills, so that might explain how i got in :D Oh, and you had to write a personal letter why you wanted to dedicate your life to making games The nice thing about this education is the wide spectrum of things you learn, its not just making 3D graphics, DirectX and stuff but a whole lot of Dev stuff. For instance theres a class in "Game balance and level design" for online multiplayers games or one for "interactive drama". It seems very interesting. The really nice thing is that you will get to make games, the class will work like a developer and there will be talent scouts from big publishers popping in once in a while to check out what were doing. A friend of mine got a contract for the game he was making with his friends.
  4. Why do you love me? Why do you need me? Always and forever. We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom. Sure the world wide web is great but you, you make my salivate. Yes, I love technology but not as much as you, you see. But I STILL love technology. Always and forever. Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above. Always and forever. Always and forever. Yes, our love is truly great. Always and forever. Why do you need me? Why do you love me?
  5. Yes, I believe Mr. Digital is spot on! :D As I said it is fully possible to play as human although you might want to take the occasional sip of vampirirc blood from time to time since it auguments you very nicely both physicly and mentally. Such a human would be refered to as a "ghoul" although the term is very silly, you wont become some sort of zombie. You will merely become physicly more resilient and have access to lower level vampiric powers. And regarding the time, how would you say if we pulled a Batman and had a modern world but with a clearl 1920-30's feel to it?
  6. I bought the Zalman cooler despite the fact that the webshop claimed "Does not fit ASUS card" because Zalman themselves write nothing about it on their website, and the webshop said nothing about the AC NV Silencer 5 that really does not fit ASUS card(without modyfying the power connector)
  7. Its am Antec Sonata with extra dampening padding, I dont know if its the old one or the Sonata 2. The case is dead silent if I stop the GPU fan so I am as a matter of fact, sitting with my hand on the "order" button for one of these although I just noticed that a german site has measured something called "glacialtech northpole 1000" to be much quieter... but I just read that they dont fit the 6800's AND I just read that the AC NC Silencer 5 is really good at only half the prize of Zalmans, but it doesnt fit ASUS cards... GAH!
  8. Ive always Wondered why theyve got Relics and Ummagumma with the proper albums, but I suppose its because the sleeves looked cooler on a womans back than "Sauscer full of secrets" or Meddle "
  9. Why havent you got a new one on the warranty already? I mean there is no doubt that it is the Motherboard that is faulty.
  10. I tried to find the old thread but sems to have got lost somewhere. Anyway now it has been confirmed(a while ago actually) that I was accepted into a game development program in the University of Gotland, Sweden. The Swedish Uni system works a bit different than the English or US counterparts, but its split into programming and graphics and Im into graphics. Unfortunantly, they work with 3DS Max and Ive been a Maya man so Ill have to learn a whole new toolset. I really hope we are going to have some time over to use the Universitys wicked gadgets(like the MoCap studio) to make some really sweet mods :D With luck, I might even get to do NWN2 modules as an official project when that comes out
  11. RPGdot :D I took one look at their Top100 list, saw that Morrowind was #1 and declared the entire thing moot. Please do your best to hammer some sense into these imbecilles
  12. Classic case of dog phobia. All you need to do is spend more than 30min with a dog and youdl earn how to read them, as they are pack animals they tend to be very good at expressing themselves
  13. No, no... babelfish doesnt even come close to this. This is the work of a grammatical genius. Like the way they have included elephants just out of the blue.
  14. http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-b...ke-of-west.html PURE GOLD. (I think I ruptured my spleen laughing)
  15. Id love to run it in a 1920's setting, although someone would need to give me a rough estimate of the exchange course as I have no idea how much a dollar would uy you in those days :D Dark City has a Vampire population of about one hundred, although it could be up to 150, noone really knows " but even with such a large number, most of the people you encounter will be ...people And Requiem doesnt have generations, so although possible, diablerie is not necessary to become more powerful. "Blood potency" as it is called increases with time or can be increased with experience points
  16. dis me dawg Leo
  17. I mean current UK time(daylight savings), just look at the link I posted to the clock tingy. Chronicle: This story will take place somewhere we might aswell call Dark City a huge metropolitan sprawl o the northern US east coast, around where Boston is in reality. It is a fictional city of some 4 million inhabitants. It is highly reimniscent of Batman's Gotham City, a dark place that looks like it froze in time somewhere around 1930. The city is domain of an elder believed to be ventrue, noone really knows him and he meddles little in the affairs of lesser kindred. Several other kindred hold domain outside of the city's downtown core with his permission. These kindred rule through influence, not force and it believed that none of them are older than a century. The kindred of this vast city are numerous and there exists no real organisation or structure among them other than those who meet through their Covenants. Two kindred could spend 100 years in the city without ever meeting eachother. __________ This chronicle would take place in the present or near future although Im open to changing it to a 1920's setting. __________ I will allow vampire, ghoul or even human characters of no age longer than 50 years as unliving. Any clan or bloodline from the main requiem book are allowed with the exception of the Burakunin. You will be granted an extra 50 experience points at character creation. I have atleast one embrace prelude planned so that you may create a human character that will be made vampire as it plays out. ________________ Also note as I said before that this is a slightly modified Vampire:Requiem game so there are no supernaturals except vampires, noone knows anything about the origin of the kindred, there are no godlike elders, no camarilla and sabbat. there is no heaven, no hell, no nonsense ____________________ Furthermore, the following is removed from the usual Requiem game - "Predators taint" (pg.41 main book) I do not like this idea, so I will scratch it. Vampires are still able to sense that another is a vampire but she will not be subject to any bestial territorial feelings. - "Kindred show up as obscured in mirrors or cameras" If this was true, who could they possibly have uphold the masquerade? Scratched.
  18. I really hate it when Im late for a really juicy political argument Could anyone give me a quick summary? p.s And I wish you guys had seen "why we fight" that Mkreku mentioned, it contains several clips of Bush, Cheney, Powell and Rumsfeld saying that Iraq were responsible for 911. It also contains Bush's famous "We've had no evidence that Saddam was involved with september the 11th." :D
  19. Well, I kind of have to go off to University in two weeks and I cant say what kind of schedual Ill be on there.. classes cant go on for longer than 1600 but there could be other stuff.. I guess we will see then. I could very well do it this thursday, but then youd have to create characters REAL fast.. all you need is to come up with a concept and Ill do the rules bit. You could start off as human if youd like, I know Ive got a really nice prelude planned... or you could just continue to play as human if youd like that
  20. Sound is what makes you "feel" a game, if you have poor sound effects, players wont be able to feel what is happening. It is especially important in FPS games, the way the weapons sound can make or break a game. I recall too many games that failed because the guns sounded like someone was banging two wooden boards together Music is tertiary Im afraid, its nice to have but its not essential.
  21. As a note, WW has divided their new releases so that you will need both "Vampire: Requiem" and "World of darkness rulebook" to be able to create characters on your own. If anyone feels this is a problem then Ill be happy to create your characters stats, all I need is a good concept description.
  22. The downside is that the vaginal secretions become infused into said facial hair, causing beforementioned hair to give of the same type of olifactory emitions similar to that of the secretion concerned. The advantage is that it may cause irritation in the exposed female genitalia, leading to a decision on the females part that the exercise be aborted and never tried again. Thus, the male can, by growing a beard and moustasche, avoid ever having to perform said act upon any female again.
  23. For you who have a hard time keeping track of time, consult the universal world clock. It even has the excellent UTC time that is never affected by daylight savings. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ When this post was written, the time for all of us was UTC - 11:10 Kaftan - 13.10 Meta - 12:10 Ender - 06:10 Jags - 04:10
  24. Did he say "Viba Femba"? That would mean these wretched souls are... swedes *hangs head in shame over blatantly homosexual countrymen*
