First off, I hope somebody somewhere feel bad about themselves. Using others misery for your own entertainment is pathetic. That being said, there is a subtle but important difference between the two cases you mentioned, in the first one, the victim was driven to suicide as a result of psychological cruelty and manipulations from somebody who intended to do that, make somebody suffer. In this case, the guy had apparantly (without knowing more than is posted), tried suicide before and as such, has a history of mental instability and was suicide prone over something that had nothing to do with the people on the net. Of course, a swathe full of jerks in a public place doesn't help, but it seems more like the symptom than the cause (unlike the first case). Rule of thumb, get a life outside the internet and don't trust strangers, even if they use smilies. Edit: I always thought it strange how low people can think when hiding behind the anonymity of the net. It's almost a mob mentality where the collective IQ is the squareroot of the lowest one participating.

I'm tired of people whinging about not getting their free mod soon enough. Is there a fan based intelligence filter that doesn't stop normal posts, but does filter the whining? Hey, easy now It is not a perfect solution, but I've had great joy using the 'ignore' function in the past, if there are forumites whose posts you find systematically offensive. I am as impatient as the next gamer who enjoyed Kotor2 (at least I think so), but having worked more than 20 years in software development, I know that it isn't as easy as it may look on the surface.

can anyone tell me why party members aren't following my PC, whilst my PC does follow other party members? have I toggled something? Did you use the party selection screen outside of the Inn/Keep? If so, you need to use the command that tells you party members to follow you. I can't remember it's exact name, but it is there together with stand your ground, guard me etc. It's a bug that drove me crazy and made me put it on the shelf for a while in the beginng.

I love that album. From start to end

I think you might have a greater chance of getting tech suggestions here amongst the tech enthusiasts. Moved to Skeeters place. For what it is worth, my Kotor 1 & 2 works on a 64 bit Vista, although it gives a few hiccups every now and then (especially when transitioning between the Bink video player and the normal game rendering).

Yeah, if somebody had told me that I would end up with a tag some day, I would have said the same thing

My pleasure I doubt you would be the first nor the last it happens to. Actually, I sometimes think the danger of overlooking such things is greater on the second playthrough (I'll not mention names, but it starts with 'G') >_

Obvious questions first... did you pick it up on your way back from the Harbinger? I don't know if I remember correctly, but isn't it where you pick up T3 on your way back?

It does give them a certain "comic book" quality when it's over done. More hate stuff: Excessive loot, badly distributed/random loot and the real killer... getting the Big Sword of Crate Slaying + 12 as a reward for killing the last Crate in the game >_

Happy birthday pixies (and Surreptishus) >_

It doesn't bother me that you might have more coins than you can spend, as long as not every peasant has equipment that would make nobility envious. Heck, sometimes money really is just a way of keeping score.

I know those bad movies and seen those trailers and from those trailers also went and rented them movies. So watching a Uwe Boll movie is like a masterpiece of cinema compared to the likes of the movies you're talking about. eg. Frankenfish or The Creeps where a mad scientist brings back Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolfman and Frankenstein as midgets and as per the review, the movie looks like it was made for less than $200.00 (I didn't mind these movies. I guess it says a lot about what I watch) Hey! Frankenfish was so awesome that I bought the dvd from amazon. I dread the day I'll be forced to watch Bloodrayne again FYI it was a choice between that or cheap, typical hotel pr0n (I was stuck working interstate for a week), I really THOUGHT I was making the good choice. The alternative would have had better directing and acting.

See? That is how unwatchable it is!

*Looks at location* I'm going to take an educated guess here and say that you aren't "Darque" or "Walsingham". A few people a concerned about privacy for various reasons. We have a phone booth that Walsingham uses when he changes clothes.

It takes a rather rare talent to make a full length movie with a scantily clad Kristanna Loken unwatchable. Yes Bloodrayne, I am looking at you!

I had forgotten about that I'll have to settle for playing X3 for a few days though. Still waiting for it to be available in the local stores.

I always forget about them. The sheer number of boosts you get from robes, crystals etc. makes them sort of "not essential". Nice for flavour and role playing, but not much practical value. At least compared to the benefits of loot. But then, the game had too much loot IMO.

Sometimes It gives a different perspective on things. One day, men in black suits appeared at my cubicle and said: "We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation...". I took the other pill >_

The delivery guy showed up with my joystick yesterday in the office (yay for airfreight). I'll start playing X3: Terran Conflict tonight >_

Are you pissed or something? Not every fan of Obsidian's reads all the articles. I want an apology. How about a chill pill? >_ It's not like they've made a secret of what the game was about. Actually, it feels like we've been hit over the head with a sledgehammer about it (as in just about every single preview, interview, prerelease review and forums).

Globals can edit poll results. Not that we ever would, you understand. Don't give the fringe benefits away! Short version is, you get to read more reported posts since you get them from all fora. No, there isn't really a "picking order". The screen has a few more buttons here and there Edit: Oh yeah, I think the job description said something about reminding people of common sense and prevent too many bloodied noses, but that was in the fine print.

It was still on the "coming soon" shelf in EB Games down here

Let's call it a pre-emptive strike, but I have a feeling that this is really only going one way from here, and that is in the direction of discrimination and ridicule of peoples sexual orientation. If somebody can convince me otherwise, my PM box is not full yet Until then

That part really sucks (speaking from personal experience). I wouldn't call myself a "failure", but I've always been seen as an underachiever compared to potential. I think the dumbest things I've done is actually the things I didn't do for various reasons, apropos insecurity and all that. I've done dumb things aplenty, but it is the missed things that keeps nagging me year after year.
