Gorth

Not sure if this is what you had in mind Added them to the original thread as well as updated the first post of this thread (because experience has taught us that people are lazy buggers and two links are on too many to have to click)

How's the interface on iOs? I tried to replay Kotor1 (steam version), but the UI is just too horrible. Still stuck on Taris and I doubt I'm ever going to leave At least I got to finish the Kotor2 Steam version with the TSLRC mod.

I wonder if I'm thinking of the same spot (on Korriban), but there is a place you can only enter when sufficient level. The "work around" being to come back later, when leveled up a bit more. Some of the fights in that sub section can be a bit challenging (in an otherwise easy game), which is why there is a level requirement. If it's not the place and some other place requiring LS/DS points, not sure then

It could still make for a nice, gritty game, keeping the background history intact but moving the action to some place like the Ruhrgebiet could have some a lot of potential for dystopian adventures. A bit like that steel expansion for F3 (sorry, don't remember its name), just a fully fledged game (and who knows? JE might even appreciate the German setting).

Nobody expects the Inquisition... Thread last seen hereabouts

Split from original thread, since it was getting past the notorious 500 post mark: Start of old thread End of old thread @MC: If you want me to update your post with info from the first thread, like copy the initial post etc. just give me a shout.

Rest in peace Scott... Wherever you are, I hope you got to put in some quality time with your daughter, your family and your friends at the end

As luck would have it, I got most of Sunday off for gaming, so I went back to SWTor (while waiting for EU IV). Instead of playing my main character (which I lost a lot of interest in when he couldn't keep his old name), I went back to play my Imperial Agent. Making his way to Alderaan: Felt very "James Bond" like, although my guy looks like a blue skinned, red-eyed thing rather than Sean Connery My "main" character is currently on Hoth and I figured I would read up on the new mounts you can get there anyway. Stressing the "Hunter" part of Bounty Hunter, I figured I would some day go hunting for what I need to acquire one.

Weren't you one of the married ones? Seriously tempted to post the old Wifespeak -> Plain English translation

No idea if they are visible on the southern hemisphere, but there is too much light pollution here anyway to watch the sky >_

I must have missed some good drama. Only thing I ever noticed was people getting upset over ME3's ending. Got no problem with Origin. Only *buy* stuff that is exclusively sold there (which isn't much), preferring independent outlets and retail (whoever offers the best bargain at the time really, a number of online services being utter ****'s with regional price fixing and cartel agreements). For me, it's like Steam, a convenient centralised download library of my games. That I could then add the serial nos. of my old physical disk games from way past and add as download service for free was just an added bonus. Those old optical disks wont last forever.

Yeah, that part was a bit confusing I can understand having 3 years per project if you have 3 projects and release one product annually (while 2 are in the works). Edit: On the other hand, it could be "EA Math" and explain while they feel they are under some scheduling constraints

X2 is the original Elite on steroids.

I found that my ideal party would have at least: 1 bard (bard songs rocks) 1 druid (packs more of an offensive punch than clerics) 1 paladin (for the paladin specific equipment, a bit of a spoiler, I know) 1 rogue (for the traps and *scouting*, plenty of sneaking can help with crowd management and selective combat) 1 Sorcerer (mobile artillery platform) 1 Cleric (never leave home without turn undead in this game) 1 Figher and or Barbarian (because you need sheer physical force when the robe wearing brigade just doesn't cut it). Actually, party selection is a bit of a (nice) headache in this game I tend to sacrifice the fighter/barbarian for the Paladin (usually named Gorth, being the true hero that he is). Since I rarely play non-humans (racist!), I'm not familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the races.

Which is not a bad thing (first hand experience with that). I'm located a few metres from one of the company directors. It gets a bit loud and no language filter applies, but it gives some insight into what the current hot topics are

Isn't Skynet already trademarked?

What a great picture. Might have to visit his site when at home

In French Orlesian accent: "Go away or I shall taunt you a second time..."

I never understood the fuss over Gibraltar (besides some silly nationalistic sentiment). It was paid fair and square (together with one of the Balearic isles) to England for the services as a mercenary, by the winning side in the succession wars (neither side having a lot of money after the Habsburgs demise). The island was later traded back, but nobody really cared much about the rock at the time other than the English who saw a strategic benefit in a naval base there (Spain already had harbours on both sides of the straits).

Guys, let's focus more on the game(s) and less on other companies communities. I know threads drift off course when no tangible information is available to disagree about, but disagreeing about other communities is heading down the track to nowhere (i.e. lets give it a break while still relatively civil)

Got to play several of my SWTor characters over the weekend. My Commando is now level 41 and is visiting Balmorra, while my Bounty Hunter has reached level 47 and is exploring Hoth. The latter is a rather cool place (the pun!). Ran into a Jawa named Blizz. Very hard not to like Jawas. I've never seen these guys ever write anything, so maybe Jawascript isn't invented (yet)? Anyway, knew from spoilers (&^%$# general chat) that he is a future companion. Sort of looking forward to it, as the few verbal exchanges so far were hilarious (in a good way).

Wasn't there something about people not finding their names on lists and an unseemly number of dead people who had risen from their graves to vote one last time for Mugabe? Never underestimate the power of election voodoo.

Hmm, running into some strange issues lately. Not sure which specific update made them prevalent, but my jump pack equipped Bounty Hunter has turned into an oddity when using it. He'll either stop dead in his tracks initiation long distance combat (the animation plays, it plays the metallic 'clank' sound, but he hits and invisible barrier and goes nowhere) or he'll fly over and hit the target alright... twice, two clank noises later dealing double damage. Not that I'm particularly fuzzed about the later, but I'm sure it's unintentional. It didn't always do that double or nothing stuff Having maxed out in cybertech and my commando almost maxed out in armourtech crew skills means my motley crew of characters don't really have much to spend their planetary commendations on. They now indulge in shopping sprees of various purple artifact cases, emailing stuff back and forth. A legacy "repository" like the cargo bay of your ship would be a very welcome addition to the game, would cut down on the emailing back and forth

Nope

No. If the specs in the link are correct, it uses 'Dual Channel Memory Architecture ' Most DDR3 ram sold today seems to be tri- or quad channel. Might be worth double checking. Humanoid already covered the FSB numbers. Latency, often shown as something like 9-9-9-10 is an indicator of the rams "responsiveness" to various operations. The lower, the faster. Most people don't care much about those numbers anyway FSB and number of channels matters.
