Eh, the officers didn't handle it well, but it's not like the student was innocent. He was yelling before they tasered him, and still decided to spout off afterwards. It may not be illegal to be disrespectful, but you shouldn't be surprised when you get the crap kicked out of you because of it. Also, I'm not sure if that was actually a police issue taser gun. I don't know much about them, but the kid was recovering rather quickly. I would guess that it's one of those cattle prod types you can get at the store.

Hehe, I was going to crap myself, but the specs aren't quite the same. I needed AGP, which seems to up the price a bit, and I got the 512mb version. I also got one manufactured by ATi, rather than some other company. In my experience, a lot of secondary companies release shoddy versions. Still, this is probably a comparable card for much cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814142072

I picked up the ATi x1600 pro and, wow, what a difference for NWN2. It's running incredibly smooth and looks a great deal better. I'm pretty happy with the choice, installation was a breeze. edit: oh yeah, $205 at BestBuy. I'm sure there are better prices out there for the card, but I got to put it on my BestBuy credit card.

I always enjoy PA, but that UserFriendly comic is pretty bad. Maybe I'm not the right type of geek for that comic.

Although I personally enjoyed the game engine that ToEE used, there are a few reasons that this won't work. First, it's a graphically inferior engine You can't go backwards graphically in this industry. Second, ToEE didn't do well. Sadly, turn based games in general are struggling. The pausing system is the closest we will get from a major developer. I'd like to see this change, but I doubt they would use an engine from a title that already bombed to lead a revival.

Geez, they really make video card specs confusing. Thanks for all the information, I'm going to try and hunt for either the ATi x1950 Pro or the x1600 Pro.

Krookie only watches shows with dinosaurs in them. Although there is a LOST dino theory...

Hmm, I'm looking at video cards as well. I currently have: P4 2.8 ghz 1 gig RAM ATI 9600 series 256 mb. card (it was about $180 3 years ago, can't think of the model number) I need an AGP card and I'd prefer ATI, although I'll go with Nvidia if I need it. I'm looking for something in the $200 range. I don't plan on upgrading my mobo or chipset for a couple years. edit: Got a question on http://www.gpureview.com/Radeon-X1950-Pro-AGP-card-471.html, What's the big difference between a 256 mb and 512 mb model?

I'm not sure if the Ducks have what it takes to go deep in the playoffs. Sure, they have great defense and decent goalies, but they seem shallow in scoring and some of their guys are fairly old. Plus...they still stink of Emilio Estevez.

That kid is totally sueing...unless they give him a PS3 for free.

So since Volourn has 10 times the posts that I do, does that mean I have 10 times as much "life"? Funny, I suddenly see Volourn with one Zelda heart and me with 10. I'm pretty sure that image appearing in my mind actually confirms the "lack of life" question.

Crazy, I was shocked when I realized what the line at my local Fry's was for. The funny part is, Fry's will likely only get a dozen consoles at the MOST. There was well over 15 people in line...why would you wait in line if there was no gaurantee of getting the console?

then give that credit to the creators of the PW-s and Modules. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure, I'll give credit to everyone. The toolset is a huge part of these games, and making them easy enough to use isn't easy. I hear it's a decent toolset, although I had enough trouble with the NWN1 set to not bother with this one.

Hmm, I'll give it a proactive 9/10 because I believe that the bugs and performance issues will be worked out, and once the community PW's and mods get going, it will be an awesome experience. Honestly, NWN1 didn't impress me much when it was released. The OC bored me and the graphics were so-so. But I picked it up again 6 months after the release, and I was amazed at all the new content. The expansions were finely crafted and the community was going full steam. So since I wrote off the first one too quickly, I'm going to give the sequel a bit more leeway. Plus, I'm actually enjoying this OC.

Hmm, like every game that comes out on the PC, you have a few folks who absolutely can't play it, a few folks who can play it perfectly, and a majority of folks who run into a bug here and there. But so far the vast majority do not seem to have any gamestopping bugs, and that's about all you can ask for with the way technology is today.

Why don't you try quoting my entire statement, instead of just pulling stuff out of context? I already stated what will happen to the community. It will continue on, but it will slowly lose steam. It already has started to see a decrease in new user mods over the last year, and there aren't as many PW's available as a year ago. It may take another couple years, but eventually there will be no excuse for not having a decent enough computer for NWN2, and the core NWN1 audience will drop the original. There will always be a harcore few, but the glory days of NWN1 are gone.

It seems like people are just resistant to change. NWN2 is out, toolset and all, which means the original NWN community will be slowly changing over to the new game. NWN1 PW's will slowly disappear, new mods will steadily trickle out, and eventually all but the most hardcore will make the transition. Do people think that if they complain enough, everyone will ignore NWN2 and stick to the original? It ain't happening, NWN1 is at the end of its capabilities. It's time for change.

The game is great, but that's an opinion. Just like every other comment that guy made. The UI is very functional, as is everything else about the game. Nothing is outright broken. There are no game breaking bugs.

Wow, all these opinions being stated as fact...whoopie. The only truth I've seen is that whiners tend to hit the boards more frequently than satisfied customers. It makes sense, as those who are happy are busy playing the game. I think I'll go do that

Well, I think the issue here is that fellow seems to hate KotOR with a passion. The fact that their are a few similiarities between the two (which is going to happen to all games that share an engine) seems to infuriate him. Pretty odd, I liked KotOR and NWN, I don't need to get into a comparison argument to enjoy NWN2.

Well, then get a HDTV. Heck, if you can afford $400 for a console, it's not that far of a stretch to pay another $400 on a TV.

Stranger than Fiction - Best literary movie I've seen since Magnolia. Easily on par with that. Brick - Pretty entertaining detective movie. I rented on the recommendation of someone on these boards, and I'm glad I did. You have to just imagine that High School in LA is much different than it is where I live.

er ehm...13-5. Good thing we have two top goalies, because Nabby got hurt.

I gotta say, I love Qara, and I find her incredibly useful. My whole pary is built around protecting her so she can blow stuff up. Her character hasn't developed much, as I'm still in Chapter 1, but she's not outright annoying. The druid was worse for me, always shapeshifting and making it hard to divvy the loot.
