  1. He bought a core system, but he lives in Canada so he didn't make $100 profit. If he made any profit it was no more than a couple bucks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well then he's just an idiot. I can.
  2. Technically he was wasting other people's money since it was all donations. I am wondering if he bought the core or the premium package, because if it was core, he turned about $100 profit. Clever.
  3. If anybody wants my identity they can have it. It's not like I'm worth anything.
  4. I don't know about you all, but mine was almost too accurate. Someone has been stalking me! :ph34r:
  5. Everyone? Dude, if by 'everyone' you mean 'the regular posters on this and other RPG related message boards' then I would agree. If by 'everyone' you mean 'everyone who does a little gaming on the PC' I would like to know what you are on, and where I can get some to pawn off to my Drug Dealer buddies from highschool. As for the man the killed BIS as well as Interplay...

  7. I kind of loved them, I kind of hated them. It was a shame I couldn't beat the crap out of everyone anymore (there were just too dang many) but if I could lure them off and then pick them off one by one I could still beat them up. Sadly, I don't think I ever got past that part, the school year ended and so I couldn't steal time on an accquantance's Xbox anymore, I'll get my own eventually though when they're marked down along with the four or five games I wanted.
  8. I have played a female Tremere like that before, it was a lot of fun. If you haven't played a Malk before though, you really need to, and you can always up the Melee trait gradually, or even put the History CVAR in and use that to give yourself an initial Merit/Flaw. (Merit in Melee of couse.)
  9. Kaf, can you edit that last post, any n00b who reads it will be a lot more forum savvy, which is bad for my entertainment.
  10. Was it just me, or was it a lot more fun to take on a more hands on approach by either headbutting or punching the crap out of enemies?
  11. English word heavy Conglomeration like lead Very hard to learn
  12. I guess I could use a 3rd Edition character sheet. By which I mean I want one, badly.
  13. You did that last part didn't you? Didn't you! Man, I can relate to the whole 'total control' parents have, it is why I am still learning to drive at eighteen years of age, while my sister already has her liscense, and a $16k car my father so graciously bestowed on her due to 'circumstance.' I got a guilty bit of pleasure though when my cousin, who my aunt had been saying was so much more responsible than I was at his age got a DUI, while speeding, and carrying a passenger before his six months were up. I felt bad for my aunt and uncle though, they had to fork over $10k in fines. Any kid who can't get around his school's and parents' restrictions on the use of the internet isn't much of a kid at all. If his parents say "close your myspace account", all he has to do is only log in when his parents aren't in the room, and remember to delete the history file. " The only danger (speaking from experience) is when you forget about the deleting the history part, and the websites you've been to are a whole lot more illegal for minors to view than myspace.com. :"> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude...it's not just the history, you gots to delete the black box files by booting into Safe Mode too. If I ever have kids they are going to be so screwed!
  14. Personally i blame you for that. " Now with regards to the man of the cloth thing, can't you just be undecided on those questions and instead do what you intend to as a minister? What is the role of a minister? Is it just to quote scripture every Sunday? I thought it was a guidance counsellor position. Do you want to change the church form with in or is it helping directly that appeals to you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um, it is kind of both. As a minister, responsibilities would encompany tending to the flock, sermons, a lot of counselling, and helping others. However I would never feel comfortable teaching something I myself cannot wrap my head around, and as much as I would like to do both of the things in your last sentence, I cannot teach something I don't understand. Also lack of faith. Basically, at the moment, I feel more of a Deist (as Baley suggested), than a baptized Christian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jer 17:5 (NIV) This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD." Prov 28:26 (NIV) He who trusts in himself is a fool... Hmmm, doesn't appear that scriture is much help in this dilemma. I would put it to you that you haven't spent nearly enough time researching and thinking about this stuff. Also, if you think you are going to make a lucrative career out of psychology, then you ought to get used to the priest's stipend ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not looking to be lucrative, I am looking to get by. I am fairly confident in my abilities to invest, and think that even on a middle class salary I could be pretty well off by retirement. Also, how much you make shrinking people all depends on how good you are at it, and how much of a need there is for it in the area you set up your practice. Part of the problem is that I have been thinking about it. All too much. I do not like things that require me to have blind faith in emotions, they get scrambled easily, and are subject to interference from personal vestments and troubled times.
  15. I do not know where you are from, so perhaps laws are different there. Here in the USA copyright laws, while complex and cumbersome, were not created to "exploit" the author. They were created to protect the author's work, and for the most part they assist in doing that. Some publishers (God knows there are thousands upon thousands of publishers of various forms of written work out there) may require authors to relinquish their copyrights, but I personally have never heard of that happening here with the major print publishers of the western world. I do have a bit of experience in this, since I have many novels in print worldwide, and have dealt with publishers in several western countries. None of them have requested my copyright, and I would not allow it if they had. What they have requested, however, is the right to distribute my work for a certain period of time in certain genres, after which those rights I temporarily sold to them will revert back to me. Do not confuse the purchase of certain rights for first American printing, first hard copy printing, first worldwide release, etc., to be the same as the relinquishment of copyright. It is not the same thing at all. I have sold many rights to my work to many publishers, but ALL of my copyrights are now and always have been in my name alone. Copyright law does indeed protect the authors. If it didn't you can be certain that the Authors Guild, of which I've been a member for nearly two decades, would be camped on congress's doorstep. If some authors have been coerced into signing their copyrights over to shady publishers, I am heartsick to hear about it. That is not, however, the fault of the copyright laws; rather it is the result of a deceitful company taking advantage of a naive and uninformed writer. Just didn't want any confusion with the copyright laws as they pertain to novelists and authors with the piracy of work product from gaming companies, movie studios and recording artists. As for the rest of your post, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ~Di, if you are going to call up examples from your writing career, you need to give us your name so we know they are valid. So I can stalk you. It's not fair to have an effectively split personality and then call on experiences from your offline personality as defense in an argument. I will find out who you are!
  16. I second Mus?'s recommendation, the live ammo is awesome. Also:
  17. I have been pirating music since the Sony Rootkit dealie, because the only thing I play my music on is my computer, and I don't want to risk it being infected by nasties from Sony or anyone else. I tried to pirate a copy of the Ulitmate Spiderman game for PC before buying it, to see if they'd kept the horrid control scheme from the PC version of Spiderman 2, my connection was too slow to complete it though, and I was planning on buying it if it wasn't so goshawful this time around.
  18. Wait is this the cat that bit the animal control officer's crotch? I saw that on the news the other night. Hilarious! He needed stitches!
  19. So what you're saying is **** Cheney thinks the filter is somewhat restrictive?
  20. I am Nevada County, but not quite in Grass Valley's city limits.
  21. Eldars been a mod before. He didn't like it, he wouldn't become a mod again (I think) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ^Eldar
