  1. My favourite german song (as in sung in german), would be Der Steuersong. Still gives me a good chuckle when I think of it Last listened to: Mike Oldfield - Shadow on the Wall
  2. Perhaps it was the cancelled KOTOR 3? Nah, I think the cancelled KOTOR 3 was started (and ended) as an in-house LA production.
  3. I am trying very hard to remember *ever* having seen blood in either Kotor... There is action and violence allright, but blood? I think this game would even be allowed "as is" in Germany, and they have some funny rules regarding blood in video games (Carmageddon anyone?).
  4. Cylindrical or spherical coordinates
  5. As a rule of thumb, my concern priorities goes something like: ME > Few > Many However, there could be all kinds of imaginable exceptions, are there people you care about or feel able to associate yourself with in the other two groups? Would we negotiate with a hostage taker to save the hostages? It might save a few hostages, but it would make hostage taking a viable profession and endanger many more people. Just a hypothetical example. I wouldn't be able to make a blanket statement and stand by it, it would depend on the context.
  6. We never found out what Project New Jersey was about :sad:
  7. I think once we get outside our "comfort zone", which often is a cultural thing, we start squirming and feel reluctant to even talk about it. Heck, I remember once seeing something from South America (I think) where natives of the Amazon were eating some awfully big, living and wriggling grubs. I felt rather uncomfortable. The same thing applies at the thought of eating something with human, bodily fluids in it
  8. You don't have a powersupply with variable voltage? Then you could have fixed it with some office clips and sticky tape. MacGuyver would have died of shame if he heard about this.
  9. How could that possible compare to getting Acrobat Reader 8.1 with the Dell?!? The Cyberpower didn't list any operating system, is that an additional cost?
  10. Are they also interested in a Personal Forum History Statement?
  11. Uh, why? i thought you guys would know alot about the game... I've played it a lot But as to why it won't run on Vista (which I don't have) with a gfx card (that I don't have) showing symptoms (that I don't have)... well, you get the point. Ok, so I am pulling your leg a bit, but moderators are not "know it all" about the game unfortunately, they are just gamers like everybody else. I run Windows XP Pro on my old PC, with a gfx card that is 4.5 years old, so I don't run into many "incompatibility" issues. Your best bet is, that over the next couple of days, some gamer with a similar problem discovered a work around and shares it. If not, maybe somebody can provide helpful links to places where people discuss technical issues with Vista and older games. In any case, I wish you good luck with it
  12. ...Uwe Boll could learn to make movies... But yeah, you got a point. I always wanted to learn how to cook. Living for a 1000 years, I might get around to it eventually
  13. Thread pruned a bit of the worst offenders (to which I shamefully count myself). I would suggest that people who have an interest in Stargate Atlantis contribute to this thread. Either reading it, adding to it and if not, either leave it alone or express it in a more constructive way
  14. You need potatoes:
  15. Thanks, but I am probably such an old SoB that Death doesn't want me I once scared the crap out of a couple of colleagues by crossing a heavily trafficked road, elegantly avoiding the cars. I told them that I was perfectly safe, as I got statistics on my side. "How so?" they asked. "Well, how many people do you know who has been run over by a car twice?" On a more serious note, I am not sure the human brain has the capacity to process the information of such extended lifespans. Is there really a point in living so long that you start "pushing out" old memories, losing who once was? Or will you hit a wall where you brain deadlocks and refuses to process new impulses?
  16. I would probably ending up getting myself killed "prematurely" as I would give in to greater and greater excesses to avoid boredom. I am a person that experiences the world through doing things. There are only so many things you can do within reason. Then you start doing unreasonable things. I've managed to get myself run over by cars, falling down cliff sides, drowned (twice, once in ice water), electrocuted, survived pneumonia, earthquakes, fires, car crashes and floodings. And that in slightly more than 40 years. Just imagine the odds over a time span of 1000 year :ninja10:
  17. Life is like a badly paced game, you get the sword of dung beetle slaying as a reward for slaying the last dung beetle in the game. Sounds familiar? Did your article mention anything about life quality in general? Would we spend 500 years with the physique of 30-40 year olds or would it be like 920 years with the bodies of 80 year olds?
  18. For Reds, I usually prefer chilean and argentinean as first choice, south african and spanish as second choice. The rest are 'Meh!' as far as I am concerned. Usually I drink Shiraz... yes, I am a plebeian when it comes to wine. For whites, I do prefer either kiwi Chardonnays or some of the local south australian stuff. Rose ('e' with an accent that I can't find on my keyboard) "wine" is an oxymoron. A bastard child with none of the good qualities of its parents
  19. Bought a couple of movies when I went into the local mall yesterday. Resident Evil 2 & 3, Battlestar Galactica Season 3 and A Knights Tale. Trying to decide which one is going to be the 'Movies you have seen lately'
  20. Where has all the good taste gone?!? Taking a break from NWN2 for a brief game of Master of Orion 2, playing Human.
  21. One of the topmost, stickied posts in their project forum has links to the mantis bug tracker where you can see outstanding bugs and progress (only progress on bugfixing mind you, not on the actual restoring of content).
  22. [conspiracy] It does look very "Chult" like [/conspiracy]
