  1. Pre orders shouldn't be in the sales repertoire of a digital distribution system anyway. They don't need it, there is never going to be a shortage of copies.
  2. Or rather, you can give away the interest on 49
  3. Getting a steam account stolen would be bad news. I think you can order hardware from Alienware through stream. Punch in a different delivery address and voila. I have never used any of the community features of steam, although it keeps spamming me with messages (in-game no less) about joining the steam community. If any of you Obsidianites want to have a go at the co op my Steam handle is suckmywetfarts
  4. It's like hitting 3 bars on a slot machine except there are millions of symbols and hundreds of slots.
  5. Wait, WHAT? You're going about that all wrong. The chances of somebody winning again are based on their individual chances compared to every other participant in the second contest. You don't keep "slimming down" the pool/odds so that it's harder and harder to win like that. The chances overall of that sequence of events happening are lower than them winning a contest, but they still have the same chances to win the contest as any other participant. We are calculating their chances of winning four lotteries in a lifetime. That's the job, not how hard it was to win the first, second, third and fourth times. It's the same as if all the lotteries they entered in were held at the same time because there is no result without four wins.
  6. Well sure, but in a lottery there are no other dependents to hitting the winning number.
  7. Oh, sorry, which one is that? If it's something silly where you misunderstand probability for the 1000th time in this thread, don't even bother waiting for a reply, though. So you don't even read what I post, you're just here to insult me, is that it? My simple question (posted right after your post) is whether you know that the probabiltiy of an event which has already happended is 1? I'm not math whiz, but that question seems completely illogical. What does probability after the fact matter. It happened, and if it was the only thing we were measuring it doesn't have any probability any more. I think what you are thinking is 'what is the probability of the same event happening agian', But that wasn't the question.
  8. He's a likeable guy I guess. People don't want to think he's an ass, or perhaps take more convincing than ordinary.
  9. They've tweaked it. Whether they fixed it or not in your opinion, I don't know. What was wrong with it, except that the animations don't really look that current up close.
  10. I prefer not having to have steam forced on me, but, at least you can stop it from running relatively simply. There are pros, for instance if you are not very organised like me your game disks slowly disappear one by one over the years. I suspect the little people under the stairs. Point being, they can't get into my steam account.
  11. BG1 8/25 joinable NPCs correct. Although neither Kargain or Jahira were accepted. Kargain is joinable, you do that kobold stomp with him although he eventually leaves. BG2 You got 14 out of 16 NPCs from Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. Missed Cernd and Her - whachamacallit, but only because I had no idea how to spell his name. They're both tossers who make you feel a small explosion of joy when they miss a disintegrate save and perma - die, so I have no problem with that. Couldn't remember any factions other than the Dustmen and the Sensates, so I decided to stop there.

    Is he really a pedo though, or just a horny bastard who didn't care. I mean, you don't stop being attracted to children do you. If he was one she could not have been the only victim, and keeping it a secret all these years after fleeing prosecution. I dunno.
  13. I'm actually a bit saddened by my own negativity now, but it's like breathing to me, I can't really help it.
  14. There are mountains and mountains of manureous writing out there, but good art is good art. Hard Boiled was a primitive ripoff of Blade runner but it still managed to be good. Once in a blue moon the two come together, but I'll settle for excellence in one or the other. Yes, I know that's not a word. I suppose I'm being rather unfair seeing as how I haven't seen the finished product. But... if it can't sell on it's own but has to be a deluxe collectors edition bonus, that could possibly tell one something.
  15. Dagon probably attended an advanced class at some point, but judging by his skill in explaining it he probably can't remember that much.
  16. I vote Empires. Not much replay in Napoleon and they make you buy a lot of units as DLCs, it just gets to be more chiselling and more greed than I can stand. First you buy the game, and then you buy everything that was missing from it.
  17. Well if I can teach them not to try and sell me Super Mario Cart 15 while I'm browsing steam I'll be a happy man.
  18. I wish Taks was still around. I would much enjoy watching him lay the smack down in this thread.
  19. why do we need to include non lottery players. Isn't it understood that the odds don't include non lottery players, or Martians for that matter.
  20. Of course you know this means war. Krezak vs Dagon in the playground after classes.
  21. Look, it's pretty simple. None of the lotteries stack with each other or interact in their probabilities in any way whatsoever, they are each separate calculations, separate results. This is where that 'dice have no memory' thing comes in handy.
  22. Now of course if we view the course of Chuck's life as a singular event and have no result unless Chuck wins exactly four lotteries, then the odds become astronomical.
