Master Vrook, how to defeat him (when evil)
Gorth replied to Jonas-Quinn's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
You can Unfortunately, it doesn't work when fighting Atris' handmaides... I am sure I made it work there once, but I can't do it anymore, not sure why. -

Good idea. Works in the Mandalorian duelling ring too -
Favourite place: Nar Shadaa (Dxun a close second) Favority character: Hanharr (T3 a close second)

Happy birthday indeed! Could have fooled me for a moment there

Call me old fashioned, but I stand by my opinion that it is wrong for an adult male to pretend to be a 13 year old male and date a 13 old girl on the net, whatever the excuse -
Sounds a bit... boring. Did they mention mudcrabs? Putting MotB on hold for a short while (thinking about what character to play next) and picking up on my game of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. again

Always wondered where your allegiances were... the Emperor has a special place set aside for you

Awesome trip by the sound of it Rosbjerg Took me a moment to realise that there was a '/' in the marriage sign

Maybe it just checked your location? England is wet and rainy most of the time and with raising average temperatures, it is going to be the new paradise for malaria mosquitoes. Never leave home without your malaria diagnostic machine!

At least the radial menus were gone. It wasn't so much the primitive gfx that put me off NWN, as it was the story (and Aribeths voice). I wonder if I might have changed my opinion if I had waited for a later boxed set that included HoTU and just played the expansion. MotB wasn't perfect, but the positive impressions far outweigh the negative ones... Cons: The default camera settings, the extra game mechanism management, the party members felt oddly "detached" somehow and finally the high level play, which I liked no more than I did in Throne of Bhaal. Pros: The configurability of the camera, nice story, good sound and visual work, interesting choice and consequence incidents, simplified crafting, no more forced party members, no excessive "grind" levels. Probably a lot more, but being human, one seems to forget all the smaller, nice details.

I'm in the middle of doing some stupid project for history where i have to make a tabloid magazine for some specific time in ancient history. i hate college sometimes ): Can you choose the time, or is that a given? It could be worse, they could have asked you for Pompeii style grafitti

Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition is on the way...
Gorth replied to Sand's topic in Pen-and-Paper Gaming
You mean, like "Going down the drain"? :sad: They did it to Epic, they did it to 40k, and they are currently busy messing up the army books completely for fantasy Luckily, my familiarity with Forgotten Realms is mostly from paper back books and crpgs, so I don't really have this sense of violation of my orthodox perception of what it *should* be compared to what it *used* to be. (although, the "Times of Trouble" trilogy is probably among the worst books I've spend time reading) Does anybody know of any Forgotten Realms games at all, due to be released in a foreseeable future? -
Master Vrook, how to defeat him (when evil)
Gorth replied to Jonas-Quinn's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
What class are you? Tactics usually depends on your class. Picking Vrook as your first jedi master fight is probably the hardest battle in the entire game... You know that you don't have to fight him yet? If he turns out unbeatable, save him for later and visit other places first (and get som xp and a bit more oomph! for your exile character first). As a rule of thumb, independent of class... buff up on stimulants, energy shields, force speed, etc. -
I think that *is* enough toads for one forum. Some individual(s) didn't seem to get Walsinghams first hint. If anybody feel like discussing phone pranks and their merits or lack of in general (and toad free), feel free to do so.

Got myself a new bike today. The ride back home from the store was a stark reminder how badly I needed that bike Couldn't bring myself to replace them old shoes though :sad:

I believe that deceiving would be covered, as long as doing so did not break any established laws... That is some rather cryptic english in there No wonder there is a market for lawyers Anyway, just to clarify my position: Lets say I am an evil old bastard (which I am not really, don't let the member no. fool you), and I decide to play mind games with a child... Most 13 years old I've known suffers from varying degrees of insecurity, sometimes including an abject fear of rejection. I'll bet that in many cases, you could if for whatever reason you may desire so, twist an insecure 13 old around your little finger if you where evil enough, playing the game of bad cop/good cop with yourself. Pretend to be friendly and show acceptance, just to replace it with rejection, rinse and repeat. The effect is the same as training an intelligent animal, if you act nice, you get a cookie, if you act bad, you get a kick. In the case of humans, it creates a sick dependency relationship (see abuse, domestic violence, other similar phenomena). The question I then ask myself is, do I blame an insecure 13 with issues for being an insecure 13 with issues? Or do I blame a manipulative old bastard for enforcing his will on a minor? For me it's similar to rape, doesn't matter if physical force was involved or not. Maybe I am just intolerant when people are deceptive? ... That would of course explain my deep-seated dislike of politicians... -
Somebody with good taste I can warmly recommend the live version from Staying Alive too (since it has quite a few of the Balls to the Wall tracks) said the old Accept fan. Now I feel like listening to Princess of the Dawn again.

I have no idea what is in the mentioned amendment, but does it also allow for lying and deceiving (i.e. pretending to be somebody you are not)? -

I doubt they will, even if they deserve it. If the dad did it, I would say, he deserves time for deliberate deception and manipulation of a minor for his own purposes. Not sure if that is punishable by any law though. If he is covering over his own kids, I would say, it is not just one, but two families in dire need of therapy, since both seems to have problems raising kids then. Only the "dad" (undeserving of that responsibility in any case) is likely to know the truth. -
So, you guys scored two goals in the same game. It might be a loss, but it sure is an improvement over no (or one) goals

Edit2: Added spoiler tag. Not sure if really necessary for this game, but just in case

You need a hint for that latter?

So they are Lets see, I've got a c64 emulator, an Amiga emulator, a Glide (old 3dfx driver) emulator, Dosbox, a BBC model B emulator, a ZX Spectrum 48k emulator, I even think I saw some console emulators on the net a while back that I for a short time considered getting, but truth be told, I haven't found a console exclusive game yet that I wanted it badly enough. It doesn't automatically mean that I won't ever get one, but so far, I don't see the need for one, real or emulator.
