  1. Yeah, he'll probably find a way to rig 2 or more Intel chips together
  2. Kreia and Visas are already Jedi. The droids, wookies and Mandalore are not jedi material. The rest is.
  3. Option 1) Ex-Dane, Ex-Kiwi, Currently Australian.
  4. Canderous was a character/npc from Baldurs Gate 1 (one of the "Tutorial Characters"). He was a Lawful Good human cleric. The name was reused in Kotor1 for a mandalorian mercenary and towards the end of Kotor2, the name pops up again.
  5. Ok guys, I am sure we can discuss Haute Cuisine without resorting to personal jabs I don't necessarily agree with Volourn, thinking that he wants to have Burger and eat it too, but that is a matter of difference of oppinion. Sure, it is peoples own decision to kill themselves with cholesterol and kilojoules, but some people are weaker willed than others and more likely to succumb to temptation and/or advertising. Heck, the large menus are something that could keep a Tour de France team going for a full day, not meant for casual eating. I consider such persons to belong to the same category as pathological gamblers, they need help to fight their condition not ridicule or "It's your own fault" fingerpointing. Getting rid of the aggressive marketing of oversized meals was a start. Now hand me the ketchup, I am late for a date with the reaper...
  6. Germany [1] - Turkey [0] Spain [2] - Russia [3]
  7. Blubber Volley
  8. Some tv station said they were the youngest team in the tournament. Maybe nobody has told them yet that they aren't invincible
  9. The British goverment? Aren't they the ones with the public distribution of cd/dvd's with interesting information on them?

    Exactly While this is mostly aimed at commercial advertising, it still holds true. Although... Which is sort of the implicit exception. A fine line sometimes, but if you know your fellow forumites well enough, you sometimes point them to things which might be of interest to them. Billboarding links to unknown forums is a bit too much on the "spam" side of things
  11. I've completed that game as Elves and Empire. Currently playing Mortis' minions
  12. VMBL is awesome in so many ways... I feel like trying the game as a Nosferatu again Nasty Nosferatu so ... unclean. How can you say that? The game has such lovely sewers My only gripe is that you don't get a TV in your safe house.
  13. My casing and my powersupply showed up yesterday (Friday) Unfortunately, no motherboard yet, so no testing if any of it is DOA. The case looks nice, both on the inside and the outside. It really looks like a lot of thought went into making it as silent as possible, yet still have some air flow. Not cutting my hands to shreds inside the casing while my XL hands were rummaging around, loosening screws and trying how the powersupply fit was a nice change of pace too. "Detachable" HDD bays was a nice move too. Mind you, I've only had 3 PC's in my life, all with noname, cheap casings. Looking for ram, I going to order 8 Gb of corsair ram. I just wonder if there is much of a difference between the 1333 and the 1600 version (looks like the same latency). Is one better than the other for overclocking? I've never tried overclocking before As for CPU, I've decided to bite the bullet and go for liquid cooling, so I might as well get something decent, rather than downclock and oversized cpu. I am currently looking at a QX9650, QX9775 and the much cheaper Q9550, wondering why the latter cost half the asking price of the first (and only a fraction of the middle one)?!? Again, any of these better suited for overclocking? Any blu-ray drives out there that are particularly good or bad (I don't think noise levels are an issue, as they are only running intermittently)?
  14. There is always plan B... which of course requires that it is possible to mount a liquid cooling thingie on it (or them in the case of a crossfire setup). That would also solve my headache of trying to pick a compromise between heat and performance for a cpu.
  15. VMBL is awesome in so many ways... I feel like trying the game as a Nosferatu again
  16. The psychological torture part is whether they get a parachute (paint 'x' on map for the interrogators) or not before being kicked out of the plane...
  17. I shall rub my hands and rejoice that I didn't find the HD3780 Ultimate yet I wonder how "noisy" it is and if it supports liquid cooling if not available in a passive cooling form.
  18. All we need now is a scantily clad Raquel Welch...
  19. You can field up to 18 mercs in each battle (3x6 mercs) and later you are going to need larger forces. Nothing like getting stuck in a battle with a handful of mercs, 20 militia men fighting on your side and a horde of Deirdrannas men invading your square
  20. The more strength they have, the more they can carry around in a combat situation. Especially important for guys with heavy machine guns, mortars and LAW's. You don't want them to cross the battlefield at a snails pace I usually have one of each in each team. Sometimes a spare doctor. You need mechanics and doctors regularly to patch up equipment and mercs. If you have more than one, they speed up the "repair" process. Explosives is mostly for the fun factor. There will battles towards the end of the game where they are very convenient for marking booby traps on the ground (mine fields) with little flags Edit: Besides that, I like blowing things up
  21. Between DRM, Minigames and the few gameplay videos I've seen (yes, I know, youtube isn't perhaps the best way to evaluate gameplay), I would say no. I didn't see anything that would interest me
  22. I'll bring the pitchfork. Who brings the torch?
  23. Strange, the only way to win seem to be not to play >_ The concept is old though, Uncle Sam has been snooping on European emails, phone calls, business secrets etc. for almost a decade http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/503224.stm
  24. If you intend to do a lot of walking around, make sure to give them some heavy equipment to carry around. Despite all their whining and complaining about their load, they will occasionally gain a STR point. Your tech guys should also gain a bit of... was it Agility or Dex? I need to play it again. Anyway, they gain a stat point every now and then besides increases to their repair skill when repairing stuff. Unlike a certain, not to be named badly designed crpg wannabe, the increases in stats and skills are limited and happens within reason >_
  25. Lots of speculation has gone on on this subject for a long time... http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49908
