Huh? I've played a fighter and a bard, and they both looked extremely different depending on what I decided to wear. Heck, the NWN OC barely had any any unique looking gear, it was all the mods that really helped with the unique look.

Ah, found a clip of Youtube, The movie is District B13. Anyone seen it?

Woohoo for drunk posting!

Casino Royale was awesome. What's the name of the movie where they do all that fancy jumping and action stuff? I remember hearing about it, and the stunts in the beginning of the movie made me think of it. It was French I think. It's supposed to be the work of a bunch of psycho stuntmen. Anyone know?

Phew, Sharks seem to have remembered how to play hockey.

Uh, but sales are the only important thing here, so KotOR 2 was a success and it's a bit early to tell on NWN2, but it seems to be selling well. That's what keeps companies in business, not forumite opinions.

This is such a sweet thread

You have obviously never read the Qu'ran... every other page begins and ends with "God is great, love god, fear god, kill the infidels." Try reading a book before touting your opinion on it. Just because you "Have a copy" does not mean you have read the damn thing... just look at the Bible, Number one best seller and least read. **** if the German people had bothered to read everyones favorate table book during 1940 perhaps there would be tens of millions more people still alive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Uh...I have an english translation of the Qu'ran right in front of me. Please feel free to direct me to the "kill infidels" section, as I can't seem to find it. During the Umayyad and Abbasid Dynasties, Christians and Hebrews were allowed to practice their religion freely in cities like Damascus and Baghdad. It was a Christian king that actually sheltered persecuted Muslims after the long trek out of Mecca into current day Ethiopia. So forgive me if I doubt your "kill infidels" proclamation. I don't consider Muhammad a violent man, but he did seek to turn Mecca away from polytheism and that led to conflict. Again, if you can point me to the passage in the Qu'ran about killing infidels, I'll concede the argument and you will win the internet.

I'm playing Splinter Cell: Double Agent and I gotta say, this is the second best Xbox360 game I've played to date. I still prefer Hitman, but Double Agent is very solid. I guess that speaks more to my taste in games, as the heavy action style games just don't interest me much.

Again, I don't really expect this game to compare to JA2. That was a work of art. But I had a blast with Silent Storm and JA: Deadly Games, and this sounds like a melding of the two. The reason I bring up Deadly Games isn't because of the multiplayer, which I never got working very well, but because if the finely crafted maps that were available to play. I still remember a map called the Alamo where your entire team was surrounded by enemies from every direction, and it was a total beast to survive through. edit: the Nival comments are because several of the F3 developers are from Nival. I'm assuming they know how to use the engine well.

When is comes to hockey movies, I prefer "Mystery, Alaska". Miracle is number two, Slapshot is three, and then Youngblood. Although I should watch Youngblood again, it might move up the list.

Wow, surprised at all the doomsayers here. This is phenomenal news compared to what was going to happen to the JA series. First off, Nival is one of the only decent Russian publishers that has released playable games in the US (Akella is the only other off the top of my head.) They developed an engine capable of handling turn based combat in a 3D world, and they've used it very succesfully in games like Silent Storm, Heroes of Might and Magic, Hammer and Sickle, and Night Watch. I've played every one of these games, and while they aren't perfect, they are all very playable and feature excellent turn based battles. People seem upset about the lack of militia training and economics. I can see that, but they also stated that all the RPG and combat aspects will be the same, and those are the core of JA. Nival will also be working closely with Strategy First. A few months ago that would have meant nothing, but after SF pulled the plug on MistLand, my opinion of them skyrocketed. They showed a ballsiness I though was long dead and made a decision to save the JA license from butchers. Oh yeah, Silent Storm never had Starforce, although Hammer and Sickle did. But that's old news, as Starforce has been thoroughly abandonded by the industry. My inner fanboy is extremely excited about this announcement. JA3 doesn't need to be as good as JA2, that's unrealistic, but if it's as good as Silent Storm, I'll be satisfied.

Hmm, did this thread change languages at some point? Seriously...

Since Wals asked for an update, the trip went very well. It was storming pretty good on the trip up. I had chains just in case, but it wasn't mandatory so I decided to keep on going without them on. The auto 4-wheel drive is interesting, I never really feel like it kicked in, but I also never felt the car slipping at all. There were times where we couldn't see the road through the snow cover, so I'm assuming the 4 wheel drive was working. I'd recommend the car. Heck, it was our mechanic that told us to get it, so that speaks a good deal too. Oh, the snow was good and I got in a nice day of boarding

I agree with you. The most fun I've had with GoW was when my Brother-in-law came over and we played a bit of co-op. Maybe we should try to get together and play co-op, because I've found the single player campaign utterly boring on my own. The multiplayer also just doesn't pull me in like Battlefield games. I've enjoyed Dead Rising a heck of a lot more, and Spliner Cell: Double Agent seems promising.

7 million is the key there. That's an insane number. No one comes close to that, so every MMO will now be compared to WoW simply because WoW is on top by an insane amount. No other game comes close to those numbers. Before WoW, every MMO was compared to EQ because that was the most succesful. It didn't matter that Meridian 59 came first. That's just the way the industry works. You can argue quality all day, but the only real indication of success is raw sales figures. Quality is just your opinion.

My wife and I just bought a 2007 Honda CR-V today. It took like 6 hours at the dealership, but I think we got a pretty decent deal. Now we are taking it to Tahoe to see how it handles in the snow. It's 4-wheel drive, but there is no switch, it's supposed to kick in only when needed. Odd, I guess I'll probably find out how it works tomorrow.

Yeah, it's pretty fun to think about how people would react towards your death. It may seem morbid, but I like to think that there will be a good amount of mourning.

I only think about killing myself when I'm being lazy. Like "Man, I don't want to go into work right now, if I drive my car off that cliff, I'll totally get out of it." But then I realize that my chances of survival are too great, and I don't deal well with pain.

He was 73, which is a pretty solid age for a guy that lived a life like his. I read in the newspaper he got pneumonia and passed away rather quickly...and they said they haven't determined the cause of his death. What is that? He was 73 and he got pneumonia, it seems pretty clear he died because he was old.

Let's see, the Xmas binge brought me BF2142, Dead Rising, and Splinter Cell: Double Agent. I'm trying to run BF2142 now. I played Dead Rising for a bit, but it's still dark out and I was getting scared.

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy holidays to the heathens.

Actually carnal knowledge isn't too bad as long as you ask for forgiveness. The problem with suicide is that you can't go through confession if you do it right. Unless you end up a zombie, but that's an entirely different thread. So thumbs up for the sleeping around and such.

In case o Zombie attack, I'm supposed to follow the train tracks until I get close to my Mother-in-laws house. She runs a trucking company, and we can use the property as a compound. We have dirt bikes that will be used to pick up family members along the tracks, and weapons stored at the house. I really hope for a "Night of the Living Dead" style zombie attack, rather than a "30 days" style.

Wow...I'm going to go ahead and put this up as a tally FOR religion. See, every topic on the forums of late has either been FOR or AGAINST religion. At least religion makes suicide a carnal sin.
