Child of Flame

Dude, no respect for the CEOs eh? P.S. KotOR2: Slamdunk's Prophecy

They couldn't keep it up. ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or they couldn't get it up....

Don't worry, if history serves me, it will be changed shortly....

Bah, I was gone for three days so I didn't see this until now as I rarely look at the stickies. I'm glad that someone official came out, and really glad that it was Feargie as I've always liked him before. Because I wasn't able to get anyone else to boycott the game, I won't be going through with it, but I do now have a friend who will be buying it for X-Box, and I'll probably be playing it over there. Stupid Billy Gates. <kicks Microsoft>

I dunno, I got out as fast as I could as soon as I realized I knew all there was to know about the 'mod'. And what I knew ammounted to just about jack $hit. <_< I got mad at this post for a bit them I saw it was chemix who wouldn't know a plot(or a decent texture) if it beat him over the head. Hey, chemix what lie are you 'working' on now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that the new Admiral Chemix picture? If so, it gets the Servant of Eru stamp of approval. :D

I've been wondering where mgnails has been recently. Maybe LucasArts has him working as their marketing director. It'd explain the whole "we will have a simultaneous release!" debacle. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's almost as plausible as Lucas being frozen in carbonite instead of dying.

I blame it on your mod. BTW is that still in business? I probably won't be coming on the KotOR2 section much, the rest I'll probably be in on from time to time. <_< I don't have any gaming rag subscriptions so it doesn't matter.

Spellmar says: sentences O BITTER IRONY!!! Ditto. You know dude, I am taking classes, and the epople on the Baldur's Gate team had all NEVER worked in game programming, and I'm not bashing anyone by saying that they had never done anything with game programming, therefore I'm not being "a little excessive" plus I did this thread for the main reason of trying to figure out a path in life...you know, so I know what classes to take in my junior and senior year...this is called planning ahead...and I enjoy high school, but I can and am supposed to have my mind on the future of my life, as that is what the International Baqualuereate program, which I am enrolled in, is all about...No I'm not talking about me doign this at my present age, but in the future, yes, it is a great possibility I may go into this feild as a professional, and if people are going to posting merely to say it's immpossible, then it is a worthless waste of my time to come and read it, as I asked 'How to get started' not 'What are the possibilities of me landing the D&D liscense at the age of 15', because even though I have a vivid imagination and am quite intelligent, I am perfectly aware that no game publishing company in their right mind wopuld give a fifteen year old kid the money that is would cost to produce a game...But I am fully in my right to say what I want to say, and to plan what I want to plan, and post about it in the "Developer's Corner" as it is about developing a game, is it not? therefore I would like it for people to stop being **** and merely responding with antagonistic replys, and actually talk about what classes I should take and how I would go about starting a game bussiness...not telling me it is not possible, because in my experience, though not extensive, nothing is ever immpossible, therefore I would really like it for people who post such replies to either change the ways of their posts or just leave me to my adolecent fancies, but if that is not possible, I will merely ignore those who don't <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kid, high school means jack $hit besides giving colleges a general idea of how smart you are, and getting some initial scholarships. I didn't even go to highschool more than half the time my first three years, barely scraped together the same amount of credits an entry sophomore would have, most of which were in college. Now, I'm a senior, and I'm blazing through all the stuff my peers have already done, so fast in fact, that I'm on track to graduate a full THREE MONTHS BEFORE THEM!!! That's how easy it is, that's how much you actually learn, about the only thing you really learn in highschool is social skills. P.S. Before you go spouting off the advanced classes you're in, why don't you learn how to SPELL them. It's Baccalaureate.

Actually, that started along with the 'Greedo Shoots First' incident inside the Mos Eisley cantina on Tattooine in the Special Edition films. If you've seen the original, you know that when Obi slices that one d00d's arm off with his glow stick of death, there's blood.....in the special edition, instead of blood, there's a cauterized severed limb. Now, while this admittedly makes more since when you realize that the way a Lightsaber cuts is by burning......I guess Lucas thought a charred severed limb was less violent than a bloody one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude...that ruined the series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know.

Not in Lucas' world eh?

Let's try pr0n titles. KotOR2: Sweet Luvin' Wookie Style KotOR2: I did it for the Wookie KotOR2: Mission does Manaan KotOR2: Interspecies Taboo Lovemaking

Or LA lied to them too... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats more likely. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any international people here? When did LA advertise for you guys? Was it Feb simultaneous? Also, are we 4 the only ones on? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm on.

Ok... BTW, what's Metrosexual? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Think the protagonists in just about every Square Enix game. Basically, a person who looks and acts 'gay' but digs women. <shrugs>

Hrm....Randy? Anyhow, it started when we noted Atton's likeness to Carth, and coupled with the Carth hating that was the majority in the early days of this boards, plus Feargie's propaganda (he even ran with it and made fun of Atton), we have the metrosexual we all know and hate today. :D

Ummm...no....just no... I don't think Naboo has even been mentioned as a possiblity... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> O Bog, please just let me forget that planet even exists. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was in the prequels, thus it isn't part of SW. That better? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <tear comes to the corner of my eye> Thank you. Because I think that Jar Jar is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars since the Greedo shoots first incident? I think you made an overstatement there. I just don't see Naboo offering much to the story, especially since the only things it is known for in the SW universe is Padme and Jar Jar. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly.....Greedo didn't shoot first...and if he's one of the best of the best bounty hunters....how the hell did he miss at point blank range. DAMN YOU LUCAS!!!

Ummm...no....just no... I don't think Naboo has even been mentioned as a possiblity... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> O Bog, please just let me forget that planet even exists. <_<

Another Juhani drawing eh? Hrm, dress needs more symmetry in the bosom, other than that, not too shabby.

Teehee, I was the first person to say those looked like Nar Shadaa way back in the early days of this board, before the influx of n00bs. B)

I'm game. :D

Because not enough people vote for them.....if you vote for them....they will win.

Complicated answer. My dad's a moderate Southern Baptist minister (some would say liberal, but that isn't accurate, and I don't care what those people say anyway). His ministry and life have been made much more difficult by the Fundamentalists in the denomination, and so no one in the family likes mixing religion and politics. We are all glad that Bush is a Christian. (Allow me to diverge a moment. A lot of Bush's detractors and the press like calling him a Fundamentalist. In point of fact, though, he isn't. He's an evangelical, which is totally different. Though the two movements share some similarities on some issues, such as abortion and homosexual marriage, Fundamentalism is primarily a legalistic, political movement, while the evangelical movement is primarily a spiritual movement focusing on the role of the Holy Spirit and spreading the Gospel.) Now, we all support Bush, and for much of the same reasons. Though we're all dirt-poor (my current salary is a little over $15,000, and that's with two degrees), we've never relied on the government to provide for us. If we didn't have the money for something, we went without luxuries. I realize that it's a radical concept nowadays, but one doesn't have to have cable, two plus new cars (we have junkers, but they get us where we're going), DSL, a top-of-the-line computer, money to blow eating at restaurants, and so on. We are able to live comfortably by doing without such luxuries (which is partially why I am so picky when it comes to games, as I can't afford to make a bad choice when I buy one). Would we like to have them? Yeah, you bet! However, we believe that it is morally and ethically wrong to expect others to pay for our excess, and we are determined to work our butts off until we can afford those luxuries ourselves. Second, we've never liked big government. Now, there isn't much of a difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to government size, and even less of a difference when one looks at Bush's domestic spending agenda, but there is a difference, and we like to err on the side that spends less. Third, we don't like the Democrat Party's stance on criminals, the role of the courts, and abortion. IMO, the Dems are too lenient on criminals (and, yes, I do know how prison environments can have a detrimental effect on rehabilitation). We don't view it as the government's responsibility to rehabilitate criminals (the onus there is on the criminal, as no one else can change them), but to enforce the law and punish the guilty. We don't believe that new laws should be made in the courts (I've never found "right to choose" in the Constitution), but that they should be made in the legislature and determined in the courts if they violate our founding documents only. Regarding abortion, none of us believe in it. I have two adopted sisters, whose mothers were originally planning to abort; I'm eternally grateful that they didn't. Personally, I don't buy the whole "when can a fetus survive on it's own" argument, because I know for a fact that children can't survive without constant adult supervision until at least 4 years of age (medical research, BTW, has shown that newborns will die without human contact). Further, the argument to me is whether or not the fetus has a unique genetic signature; as human cloning has yet to be accomplished, the answer to that question is always yes, and as such the zygote/fetus/baby is a person (BTW, ever wonder what "fetus" means, since there seems to be a distinction between fetus and baby in all talk on abortion? It means "baby".). There's always an exception (such as endangering the life of the mother), but I hate how we've cheapened human life. Finally, and this opinion is pretty much mine, as most of my family doesn't get this deep into politics, the concept of an American empire doesn't bother me. When one looks through human history, the most enlightened times in our civilizations have been when most of the world was controlled by an empire. Whether said empire was the Persian, Greek, Macedonian, Roman, Holy Roman, or British, we wouldn't have gotten where we are today without the stability offered by those empires. Science has flourished in the majority of these empires (Holy Roman being the exception, though art did advance quite significantly, as well as exploration), and the lot of people after the empires fell or turned inward was better than it was before the empire. The US has been thrust into the position of being the most powerful nation on earth, and I believe that it is folly to not try to use our power to help improve the lot of those living on this wondrous orb. Will we screw up? Yup. Will some people get mad at us no matter what we do? Yup. Will some people view us as oppressors rather than liberators or helpers? Yup. Does this mean we shouldn't try? Nope. I've only lived on this earth for 28 years, and I've seen both the best and worst from people, and have concluded that no one is perfect, nor will anyone ever be. Imperfection, though, is not an excuse to not try to better the world. No, it won't be perfect, but it could be much better than what currently exists. For example, by behaving more as an empire in Africa and the Middle East, we could significantly reduce the slave trade in those areas (as slavery is illegal in our laws), which currently is greater than at any other time in the world, even during the 17th and 18th centuries. That's just one example. Before you dismiss the idea as folly, though, take a moment and try to imagine where the world would be without the empires that have dominated our histories. Also, look at how empires behave, as far as generally not being too involved in subject nations' internal affairs (though there was some involvement, in each case the empire left most things up the the subject nations' native governments). Finally, remember that science, art, literacy, mathematics, and jurisprudence wouldn't be where they are today without the stability offered by the empires and the far-reaching influence that they had to spread those concepts. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Interesting views. Though it doesn't sound like you particularly like Bush or Kerry....have you thought about voting for a third party candidate like Nader?

I'm in agreement with that, though I rather like the UK's drinking laws better. I rather like the idea of adults teaching their youngun's how to use a mind altering substance from a young age.....the ones who want to use it at that age find it for themselves anyway.

That's only the most fun thing to do on the internet Di. Can't believe you haven't tried that yet.

Does it really matter on a message board on the internet? That's about as anonymous as one can get. Anyhow, I'm not voting. I miss the election by a couple months.
