Humodour

I'd like to see another game which deals with the main character being dead, but for some reason still on this earth. The game would focus things like how the undead person gets by in a world dominated by the living; physiology of an undead person compared to humans; a philosophical approach to some common day problems from the perspective of the dead; interaction with the world of the living - making friends, relationships, etc and whether or not such stuff is allowed; keeping hidden from society - staying on the fringes, having a day job (probably not the main char eh?); undead groups, societies and organisations; moral ambiguity (please, no blatant undead evil, humans good dichotomy); the divine/spiritual mechanisms behind death, dying and the afterlife; common myths and legends regarding death (e.g. death, the reaper, afterlife, god, the scythe, souls, ghosts, and maybe things like zombies and vampires)... I'm thinking a sort of mix between Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and the TV series Dead Like Me (a show about grim reapers). Don't get me wrong, I thought Bloodlines tackled things really well, but I'd like more of that... and there is certainly room for improvement, especially with a new IP.

I agree. Paper voting is appropriate. That's what it is in Australia. Of course, you could probably still hack the machine the results of the paper count are stored on.

OK guys, for those interested, please put your MSN (or PM it to me) and character class here, and/or idle in #obsid @ irc.quakenet.org tomorrow (um, say 12 hours from the time of this post, at the earliest). So I can organise. PM me if you want my MSN. I shall play a melee Amazon (lightning dmg).

I always thought you were a little strange, to be honest.

Yeah? You have some new info on 4e? Because I'm actually fairly fond of horses, even if they're dead.

I have an ulcer above my tonsils (which made me visit the doctor because I thought it was tonsillitis). She gave me a full blood test to make sure I am OK in general. Also enrolled in a Certificate IV in IT support + help desk for semester one while I work part time. Should let me get into a nice paying casual/PT job when I start uni again next year. And the rain. I always feel happier when it rains.

My post was on-topic, talking about 4e. you're the one that had a little hissy fit about ADHD. Seriously, dude, let it go. Your post was about mocking those with ADHD. How on-topic is that, then?

At least you and Volourn are both cool guys in the end. This one's a bit of seedy ****er.

I think you guys go to bed like 3 to 6 hours earlier than me, so I'll just start playing at 3pm and it should be like dinnertime for you guys, yeah? Not a problem.

Red Dwarf did this when they fell into the pit of suck and I never forgave them for it. Sheesh calm down. Red Dwarf is a comedy/satire. There are bigger things to worry about.

I disagree. I play Fallout and IE games once every year or two. They constantly keep me going combat-wise, though story and dialogue wise it sometimes gets dull because I've memorised most of it. And graphics never bothered me too much. Like, I prefer IWD1/PST/BG1 graphics to IWD2 and BG2 and NWN1. I'm totally cool with 2D isometric, even now.

He probably meant the ease of stirring up **** is like shooting fish in a barrel. Ritalin is a prescription stimulant commonly used to treat Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. It contains methylphenidate, a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which increases the level of the dopamine neurotransmitter in the brain by partially blocking the transporters that remove it from the synapses. Hey buddy, I had a spiel typed up for you about misconceptions about ADHD, but then I figured since you're so keen on reading up on wikipedia and such, why don't I just link you to a page with some explanations? http://www.brain-dynamics.net/publications...t.jsp?PubID=717

Whatever is good. I tend to love Paladins, Amazons and Barbarians, but I'd like to try the Assassin or a Werebear. You? EDIT: Hey, you're from NZ. Excellent.

Would anybody like to start a Diablo 2 char with me? LAN, no rushing preferably, no cheating. LoD + latest patch.

My favourites were: spike stones, crushing wave, entangle, thorn spray. As you can probably tell, I loved playing druids.

Oh man, everything I've seen about Fallout 3 so far sucks. They're trying so hard make their own game as well as emulate the best attributes of the old games... but failing at doing both.

I hate you guys. You're forcing me to think about it. This is why I suspend disbelief when watching Terminator, Dr. Who, Back to the Future, etc.

Actually, if you really want to start poking at the whole concept let's look at the first movie: Event 1: Skynet has a time machine, they are losing the war. They send terminator back in time to kill JC. Event 2: Shortly after resistance wins, finds time machine and sends someone back in time to stop teminator. Why did they bother? If time did not change the instant the terminator went back it's obvious he blew it and there would be no need to save anyone. And if he did kill Conner, none of the resistance or machines would ever know about it anyway. The whole concept is a little screwy no matter how you look at it.

My initial responses: "Ew." "Meh." "Arg."

Not to spoil, but the vibe I'm getting is that there is no main terminator, hence being generic.

Really, you liked this? I guess being a teacher I'm not really well-disposed towards liking school-based fiction, but I thought it was dire and very clunky. I'm a fan of superhero stuff, so I guess that's what appealed to me. Anybody know of any other good superhero movies?

Hmmm. I'm going to try and beat you. I reckon I can if air was your only problem... :D How was exam?

I highly doubt you even know what Ritalin does. I can assure you that having ADHD does not make one appreciate WoW more. Quit ****ing using ADHD as your scapegoat and a stereotype for an overstimulated generation.

Haha. You sound like me two years ago. Manual is fun but after moving to an auto I'll just get my full license on that (since here a full license grants use of both manual and auto).

Well I spent Australia Day on Coogee beach drinking beer and body surfing. Then I went clubbing at Darling Harbour in the night. I am a bit sunburnt and tanned.
