Gorth

Had one of those for a number of years. Not 100% sure if it's the exact same model, but it Looks the same (was a Microsoft IntelliMouse according to the label on the backside) and had 5 Buttons. Best mouse I've ever had since starting to use a mouse on my Amiga 500 in the late 80's. Edit: My current Steelseries Sensei is nice too, but I will always remember that old MS Mouse fondly.

Just speculating, but maybe they have been burnt once too many by projects suffering from feature creep and deadlines being a "nice concept" rather than something to strive for?

CZ doesn't really have much in the way of Story. An intro dialogue and a debriefing after the Titans of Industry mission (which is just doing the 2 flashpoints, labs and meltdown one after the other). Have you done Makeb? It was mildly interesting the first time, but subsequent toons was just boring because it's the same story for all classes, only the factions are different. Several of my imperial toons have only done "enough" (the first little bit) to unlock the taxi to the mesa with Toborros Courtyard (on Republic side it's immediately accessible). Edit: Come to think of it, I haven't actually bothered finishing it yet on any Republic toons. The high mob density and immediate grind just turned me off at the time of release.

So, they want to turn us all into Girls

Mind you, i don't really follow the EU stuff other than the in-game references. I read three of the paperback books many years ago, found them a bit too silly, only one I liked was a blue skinned guy Name Thrawn or some such. After one about some species that sounded like a Monty Python skit, Neowumpingzooo.... (the Knights who formerly said Ni!) or some such, I dropped it. I doubt I'm the only one, hence the desire for something "recognizable"

I've been lurking a bit on the swtor forums the last couple of days, seeing the rumours and guesswork about what 3.0 is about. First off, I really hope the "Boss" at the end of the Rakata flashpoint is just a bad deflection on Biowares side. Some things are best left buried or risk getting silly. Come to think of it, where did Guss Tuno go? He always dreamt of being able to actually use that lightsaber of his As to the speculations based on previous CM releases and the emails sent out during and after the Manaan/Rakata fp pairs, people seem to be obsessed with a place called Yavin IV (I might remember the numeral wrong). Why??? No idea what the place is, it figured all of 15 seconds or so in Kotor1 as a distant Background on a space station, no game play actually took place there. Crossing fingers and hoping for something like DXun instead, if it has to be a moon involving the people vaguely referenced.

The Drama that goes on and on... and on

Start of old thread End of old thread

My Nar Shaddaa place is starting to shape up a bit. Haven't had much time to Play (any game at all) the last month. A bit proud of resisting the urge to just reach the 100% completion asap. Not even halfway there, trying to put a bit of effort into it and not just fill all hooks with kolto Barrels and wall lamps. Started to gear up my new Level 55 marauder girl a bit. That is, currently wearing a bunch of Hand me downs from my dps jugg and some won greed rolls from hardmode flashpoints. Earning her own ultimate coms now though. On the other faction side, my smuggler, aptly named 'Gorth' is halfway through Level 54 and approaching 55 fast. Not putting too much effort into the gearing anymore though, holding my breath and see if the rumours of Level cap increases are true. If so, will that mean yet another gear Inflation (last one not even 6 months old or so)?

Trying my hand a bit on Risen 2 and Skyrim.

So, are the English planning to secede from the Union next?

It sort of works that way in Australia. It's effectively made up of a number of City states with a large percentage of the population living in those state capitals. Of course, the people of Cornwall are going to be mortally offended that you left them out Edit: I took a look at Gromnirs link regarding DNA mapping of the People in the UK. Interesting reading

The Anglo Saxons were replaced by the French. Later mixed with immigrants from the days of Empire (Indians, Africans, Scots, Irish etc.). The monarchy is German. I don't think such a thing as an "Englishman" really exists outside of fairytales and romance literature.

I've only completed the game thrice or so, but I always got mauled badly by Greywolf In the end, I decided some emeralds are just too hard earned

A bloody shame that I already got a signature...

I don't think it's an exact science Personal theory, it's like a rock band or a sports team that for a short while get together and create something where the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Nobody can really explain while it is so and attempts at recreating it always ends up at attempts at recreating it. Maybe it's just the right People in the right place at the right time doing the right things. I think you just answered your own question. There are probably some less known games out there that does, but none spring to mind immediately.

Sad thing is, these forums had that Feature many years ago. A tiny black square with a Little White circle in it to the left of threads with developer posts. That was many forum versions ago though (like somewhere between 8 and 10 years ago?).

I've tried a number of rts games, but most weren't really my thing. Only ones i liked so far were the original Age of Empires and the Infinity Engine games. I guess I belong to the club of frantic click-fest haters and like playing them like a slightly sped up strategy/tactics game rather than a 2D action game.

"Double lip piercing"...

I can just imagine Brits spontaneously turning into Scotsmen... http://youtu.be/qxDJMn-534Y

Indeed

I don't care what Resolution those old IE games have, there is something about their graphics and visual style that is unique. I miss them so much (ugly warts, tiling and wonky avatar animations included) Nice story telling so far

Nice to see another Scandinavia and the World fan

Warlock 2: The The Exiled. Despite more options, races etc. I'm not really sure if the game itself is more "fun" than the original. Something about the Balance, encounter designs, such as they are when randomly generated, feels off. Hard to explain.
