^Agreed. The good news is that it picks up after the fillers.

Please let me know if that works.

I dunno. A dude told me the reason women can't drive in Saudi Arabia is that they only deserve to be chauffered around.

Quite bad. I could be running in the streets and then I'd notice a screen skipping an animation, leading on to total freeze for a few seconds. Eventually I'd Ctrl-Tab to close Bloodlines and restart it, which was frustrating.

That's a bit of a stretch, but I'll leave it to others that know more than I do to continue if they so wish. Edit: I searched an online version of the NIV and here's the passage to give some context. Matthew 16

The worst lags for me happened in Santa Monica outdoors when it rains. I think Gabs said that that was when the game lags the worst, but by that time I had uninstalled the game because I thought that I'd be stuck with that level of performance throughout the game.

Since Obsidz designed a new rendering engine for NWN2 (Electron?), whose property is it? As an extention, will Obsidian be able to use it for free on different games or will it have to be loaned etc?

^Memory leak I've heard some mention setting Bloodlines to low priority. Here's a quote that I copy and pasted for my own use later. I haven't tried it out yet.

What? I'm pretty sure Jesus wanted the apostles and others to continue to spread Christianity through the church which I think He said would have Peter as the rock the church would be built on.

I know sometimes people can feel powerless to stop the hooligans and simmer because of it. One (Brit) poster I know complained about his car being continuously trashed by gangs of kids. It's kind of weird that adults have become scared of kids. They're not even violent gangsters... yet. Plus sometimes the authorities may not always be around to stop them, and may not be backed up by the law in some cases to arrest them. Cue simmering rage.

Some of you might be familiar with happy slapping. Here it is according to wiki: Anyway I'll skip the issue of the victims getting assaulted suddenly by gangs and go to what Saudi Arabia's done. They've sentenced the "happy" slappers to a few hundred lashes and lots of time in jail each. I know that sometimes we want to see people get punished, especially when we feel like we can't do anything about it. Sweet revenge or things going ovebroard?

Lol at the dudes with the masks.

Totally agreed. I think the issue largely boils down to my 2nd point earlier - why people fear making caricatures of Islam more (worse idea) than of other religions or politics. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Which is fine for me. The right to carry out ideas - bad or not is fine by me as long as it isn't against the law and doesn't unnecessarily burden other people (say blasting Gn'[****ing]R at 3am in your appartment). My point is that self-censoring isn't an unfamiliar concept.

You know, we self censor dumb ideas. We get dumb ideas all the time but we strike them off because they're... bad ideas which would make us worse off. I suppose the point here is why making caricatures of Islam is worse than maing caricatures of other religions, or politics.

Oh noes! The superior bunny will like totally pwn the other puny bunnies and breed with every (other sex) bunny out there creating a super race of giant bunnies!

What did the dude do?

I think it was a good interview. It asked several tough questions about rpg gaming and they were answered well. Here's to NWN2 being considered a classic sometime soon

A tasteful darkish green would be cool.

Could someone explain how Melee/Ranged Combat Requirement, Lethality and Feat Adjustment work for weapons? Plus how say melee combat proficiency is calculated. Is it that different from d20?

Sure, but do they have a physics engine to moddle the seagulls.

Africa has major problems. At the risk of sounding cruel, is this natural selection at work?

I was quite surprised that Israel's in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, suggesting they're part of Europe. Anyway, yeah. It's interesting that some Euro countries are rallying behind the Denmark paper.

I've read some of the Drizzt novels, but one thing I know is the battle with him in BG2 was mighty fine. Especially when Keldorn jumped ship. Lamerz.

I blame Bokishi.
