Thats the sticking point with me too. It seems aliens only visit wackjobs and those in need of "scientific probing". If they wanted to be discovered they could just land on the White House front lawn. No denying it after that!

Eh, I dunno. I think its certainly possible/probable that extraterrestrial life exists but Im less convinced they visit Earth.

Happy Birthday!!!!

The fourth post down has links to four of his mods, two of which are spell fixes.

spell fixes? am not being paying attention lately... apparently. taks Oh yeah, he has a pretty huge spell fix mod that brings almost all the spells to their true PnP glory (engine permitting). There is another package made by a poster called Reeron or Reefron or something like that which is also supposed to be excellent but maybe doesnt play nice with TonyK's AI mod.

As an aside, I was really surprised to see AB fall to the hostile takeover from that Belgian company.

Hmm, I was under the impression that MMO's are the least intensive wrt PC hardware requirements. The whole shebang is online, all you need is a good video card and a fast internet connection.

While they're at it that should grab his spell fixes. Or just hire him, he's better at it then they are.

I thought they did yoink that and roll it into one of the first MotB updates.

Yes, they do. Almost every "job" you would see in a city, they have on a carrier. Yes, but not easily. What you score on the ASVAB will determine which jobs would be offered to you. This is a critical choice as you cant change your mind once you start. However, you can join the Navy as what the call "unrated". What that means is the will train you in the general skill of either: Airman, Seaman or Fireman. Thats not as cut and dry as it sounds as each of the three general categories I just listed have many sub-categories. For example, I joined as an unrated Airman and my first job was AO (Aviation Ordinance) and I spent my days practicing assebling missiles and bombs. Later I decided to become an AE (Aviation Electrician). So think of it like this; an Airman will do some aircraft related job, a Seaman will do some shipboard related job and Firemen will do some damage control related job. The down side to that path is you dont get a choice, when you arrive at your first duty station they will stick you wherever they need you, within your field. Zero. You dont have any expenses in the military at all. Well besides the hookers and booze. Medical, dental, food, lodging, clothes, haircuts, etc... all paid for. I actually had a lot more liquid cash while I was enlisted because my only expense was my hedonism.

You were an AT (Aviation Technician) back in the day right?

I dont always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Exuis. Stay thirsty, my friends.

Have fun storming the castle. Sounds like a cool job, too bad you wont be able to tell us anything about it.

Hehe, had to look up Crip Walkin'.

Tsk, tsk. Giving mom five across the eyes is never classy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...thats hitting below the belt.

Congrats! I strongly suggest you get in a 6-years-worth-of-sleep powernap right now while you have the chance.

Yeah, that Shockey one surprised me. Isnt that the exact same offer they turned down from the Saints a few months ago?

Oh yay, another "medical" condition. Maybe we can call it punctually challenged? Anywho, Im usually the opposite. Id much rather get a task done and over then have it hanging over my head. I will occasionally drag my feet on a project that seems especially difficult or time consuming, but not often.

You're like a wise sage in comparion to me. Im that special kind of ignorant that actually used the "recommend" button.

The overland map looks great and I was even a little impressed by the firelight flickering in the shipwreck scene. So am I to assume that the huge pillar of light coming down in the overland map is the spot skill doing its job?

I suppose a little of both with a liberal dash of self pity at my ignorance of that versions mechanics.

You haven't played Mask of the Betrayer? I tried telling him to, but he won't listen, Maybe you will have better luck So... Gfted1 has no interest in what one could (arguably) call one of the best RPG experiences in the past 5 years? Granted, some people don't like NWN2 combat, but that aside Mask of the Betrayer is a masterpiece. To be honest, I just really hate 3.5E. I cut my teeth on 2/2.5 and just cant seem to get my head around 3.5 rules. It just seems so stupid how you can be epic at EVERYTHING if you only take a smidgen of this and a bit of that. But dont do it on the wrong level or you just gimped your guy to pieces! Then, I go and try to give it a legitimate go and NWN2 turns out to be a flaming POS whose only redeeming quality is it didnt uninstall my OS while it was busy sucking my soul out. But I digress, Im willing to try again with SoZ. Maybe Ill D/L some powerbuild guide that will save me from myself. Hopefully 4E will pull me back in.
