Um, no. I meant an add-on to Star Wars: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. There was no substantial difference between those two.

No, the relations between colours and how they are established by our brain are probably not random, but this is more of a philosophical question and it's not what I meant. Basically, the interpretation of the brain is random, since the only relation between a colour and the wavelength it's produced by is in our brain. It's not a universal property of radiation and it's restricted to us. In fact, how can you assure that by "red" I think of the same perceived colour as you do? Most likely I do, but that probably has more to do with the fact that we share a common genome than to an inherent property of light. Yep, they are. You see them as different colours, which makes them colours by definition, regardless of the causes why you see them (that is, they don't have specific wavelengths assigned to them).

I don't have a clue what this means, but I think I understand the general thrust of your post. Fair enough. Since a photon is an energy "packet" released by an excited electron that returns to a lower state of energy, there can only be as many different packets as differences in energy there are between possible orbitals in a given element (an orbital is a region of space where the chance to find an electron is max). Since orbitals are specifically predicted and calculated by Schr

It's not such a good idea to be posting your e-mail like that.

And if indeed they resolve the issue by fully exploring it and making it the center of K3's story, they will have a ton of pissed fans that thought they were buying a SW game but instead got an obscure reference to some POS comics from the 80's that are best left forgotten. I wonder what's worse.

...riiiiiiiight...sorry it ain't Elmo: Lost in New York; damn those games wit' actual stories...DAMN THEM ALL!!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... Now you know why you can't post an opinion which is not approved by our friend here at Thinkpol. But yeah, PST is overrated.

Ah, yes. The martyrs of the 21st century.

No, there is not an infinite number of colours. Since colours are the effect produced by photons possessing different wavelengths (those can't be infinite since electronic orbitals are quantized) when they impact on the retina, the number of possible colours could be calculated by the combinations of all possible different amounts of colours (i.e. linear combinations). However, there are upper and lower limits in this, not physical or mathematical, but biological (a light too intense will be "considered" white by our brain even though it might not be physically so, and a light too faint will tend towards black). That is why both black and white are colours, since a colour is nothing but a random interpretation given by our brain to different wavelengths of radiation.

Actually that would be Star Wars: Dark Forces 4: Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. But yes, that's just silly. Even more so considering that the game was more like an add-on that a true standalone game.

I no longer play. At some point I realized that the new editions were just crap and the cards from the older ones (up to Revised) were either being restricted, banned or reaching absurd prices. The VtM CCG is fun too, but I really don't want to get entangled with another CCG. It takes up too much of my time. I think there is a little problem of semantics here. You see, MtG is not offensive. Offensive is, for instance, being described as a sad, immature, attention-craving wanker that likes to bang his chest behind the safety provided by his 'net anonimity, while at the same time accusing others of things that he does/would like to do/did in the past, effectively being a hypocritic jerk. See, that's offensive, if only because, ironically, it's true (otherwise it would just be a provocation and a lie). "Yeehaa!"

That's a good idea. But I don't know if it would be fair for the other players to let your megalo... er... unification ideals run rampant by controlling two powers. " Yep, a very good idea alright...

Tell me about it. Anyway, when are you guys starting?

Funny. Does that include TOMBS?

Damn. I just remembered that in the next weeks I'm going to be switching ISPs. Which means that I could be without 'net access for up to a month and a half since I can't hire the new connection until the old one has been deactivated. I guess I'll have to wait for game 3. My plans for World Domi... *ahem* I mean, Peace foiled before I could even start! :'(

Still no news of Cpl. Shepard? Damn shame, it's one of the few reasons that could convince me to install HL2 again.

Hmm. I anticipate a malicious comeback regardless of my answer, so I'll just masterfully dodge the issue and turn this nice thread into your typical politics spamfest to divert the attention. "So, what's your take on US foreign policy?" "

I'm studying the rules, but I guess you can count me in.

Um, dumb question here but, I don't think you started game 1 a year ago so, how come you're done already? I thought this game was called Diplomacy, not Insta-MAD. :ph34r:

But that would break Nur's heart! :'(

You are still going at it? Well, the idea was to compare what that guy can do with his blood magic to what the PC can do. If they had included that kind of heavy-hitting powers in the PC's Thaumaturgy list, well... it would have been much more cool to play Tremere (not to mention easy). If you really must...

You should work on your sarcasm. Good stuff.

Sounds like fun. Do you know of any site that has the detailed rules so I can take a look?

Well, given the huge size of the planet, it is reasonable to assume that a certain depth, the pressure is enough to liquify the gas, effectively creating a liquid surface. But you could not stand on it anyway, unless you were... Tha Jesus! Yep. It's assumed that gas giants have a solid metallic core, needed to explain their magnetic fields. Nobody knows for sure though.

That poor sod was obviously one of the few lucky US soldiers equipped with Level IV protection. I guess it was a gift from his grandma or something.

How does this work?
