What is consciousness?
Interesting theory. I always imagined memory working like a jpg compression Not having an opinion at the moment on the theory linked to, it is interesting in it's implication if it were true. Then you could actually take a snapshot in time (technology allowing) of a persons consciousness.

What you did today
The kid was about 9. I'm 15 EDIT: Why? Because I was going to say playing "swords" isn't very normal unless your under 15 or over 40. Heh, tell that to my little brother He is 34 and way into the Medieval Re-enactment thing. Although I think they use halberds and pikes just as much as swords when they fight.

Manners
I don't know if anybody really appreciates good manners these days, but I still try to practise it to the best of my abilitity in my daily life (I was raised like that, yes, be nice and polite if there is no reason not to be). Sometimes I get a smile in return which makes it worth it, sometimes no response at all. I supposed that, in many ways I actually assess a persons worth partially based on their manners. That being said, I can be a devil too, taking great pleasure in seeking out persons like the brat Walsingham described and tell them to "Move it!", and if they refuse to, I simply sit down. They will either break a leg, get their sports bags flattened, whatever I don't care. I am 190cm and 105kg, moderately muscular, so I got the physical size and the viciousness to backup my no nonsense attittude most of the time. Funny how they suddenly make a seat available in a hurry when they know that bruises are on the way.

Obsid - 49 of 50
If they sell it to most of the companies on the list, they make just a little short of 150k, not bad. I wonder how they compare a company that releases max 1-2 games a year to say Ubisofts 22 releases? And how are the "anonymous" industry professionals picked. Do you need to be best buddies with gamasutra to do well? I would insist on knowing the methology used before paying a cent for a report.

What is consciousness?
Taken a bit out of context (why it feels good to eat meat), is still illustrates the line of thought, that giving in to instinctual behaviour gives a certain kind of satisfaction as reward. There is room for experimentation, but we are given a set of rules from which we need to cross a certain threshold in order to deviate from and make decisions that are radically different from "who we are".

Still playing VMBL... My female Malkav 'Malissa' (her outfits are just as wacky as the male malkavs apparantly) just managed to bungle the mission to infiltrate the Metalhead Industries warehouse for Mitnick. Time for a reload. Seriously, using obfuscate, there is *no* excuse for not completing that one- Final Fantasy VII,a game with bad graphics but great gameplay
You really need to get away from New Zealand some day I wish I could enjoy the FF games, but my one and only try was the FFVIII demo for PC and frankly, I found it to be a disaster. Hopeless control scheme, characters I couldn't relate to and a protagonist with an attitude problem that made me want to put him over my knee spank him- Movies you have seen lately
I liked Waterworld. Even bought the DVD.- another reason to become a game dev
Thread pruned a bit already, that was quick. Lets stick to discussing the post and not the poster, shall we?- South American village being terrorised by Baby Pyramidhead

I suspect Alvin got s cameo in NWN2- British Humour is in the Genes
Dropping the u is stupid. It's part of a general Americanisation to dumb the language down. Exempli gratia: 'thru'. Heh heh heh. Dropping the 'u' from an increasing number of words may cause some confusion down the line. Just imagine dropping it from words like Mourning, Counting, Route, About, Soul etc. Although (with a 'u') it seems like it is more words derived from french that gets the short end of the ou -> o deal. Ungrateful louts not appreciating all the trouble William the Bastard went through to teach the english proper french. Anyway, I am a fan of british humour. I liked series like The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf and shows like Benny Hill (Hills Angels might have influenced me a bit) and Monty Python- Stylish shoes
So... are stylish shoes going to be thrown weapons or melee weapons?- And this is why there should be more sex-ed...
As opposed to... anti-society? I'm not a parent, don't plan on raising any children, don't teach any children (unless you count software developers, and that only on rare occasions). I would just assume that the more knowledge children becomes exposed to, from as many varied sources as possible, the better (provided that their parents offer some guidance to what they find right and wrong and especially the "why" they find things right or wrong). Nothing makes me more happy than independent thinking and a questioning mind. Just a thought, isn't the increasing unattractiveness (violence, bullying etc.) of the public school system a result of more and more parents failing at being parents rather than a failing of the public school system?- Alpha Protocol - EBGames product page

Moved to correct section- IWD2's use of 3E was a mistake
Yes. It's sad that the mod project, converting BG2 to run on the IWD2 engine, died out.- Star Wars joke
