  1. Some sea slugs have tentacles... wouldn't that qualify as arms?
  2. Gorth

    IQ test..

    I'm getting too old for this...
  3. I hope he finishes it in NWN2. I for one would like to try it (and there is a snowballs chance in hell, that I would buy an expansion for NWN1 to be able to play it)
  4. No self respecting Malkavian would know what he was talking about
  5. Tsk tsk tsk... Neeshka is just sooo much better with a tail. There is something about tiefling tail Now off to check out the beta patch.
  6. Hey, stop that. It has some very nice sewers! (said the guy who prefers Nosferatu)
  7. I used to win it it all the time. I always hated the lack of a save and reload options in that game
  8. Tons of Lego. It made for excellent outdoor toys too. The sandbox was 80% sand and 20% Lego :"> Everything from crawlers over walkers to sailing devices. First powered by rubber bands (as was most catapult type Lego devices) to electrical powered ones ("overclocked", using the 12v electric train powersupply to drive the old 4.5v electric Lego engines). Apart from that, a bit of "Action Man" and a *lot* of plastic kits from grand old names like Airfix and Matchbox. I think that at one time, I had the complete sortiment that those two companies offered. If not, then prety close Add to that, the little chemist set, easy access to charcoal, nitrates, sulphur and other interesting stuff (and some long dead relative who left behind a bag of cordite) :D
  9. You know, it took my about 12 years to finally learn how to joust in that game! It only took me 2
  10. Good endings. So rare, let's see: Defender of the Crown - In true Cinemaware Style PS:T - Yeah, sort of nice. Would have been even nicer with more possible end result cinematics? Forbidden Forest - Riverdance meets 8 bit graphics (the music was awesome though) Tombraider - While the FMV's might look pretty archaic a decade later, they were impressive back then Sadly a short list for now of those that springs to mind. I might remember more later after watching a few other contributions.
  11. Agreed. I just thought spotting the good ones might be more challenging
  12. They should introduce the Haka for the cricket team. It might help
  13. Wouldn't it be much easier to have a thread for Well Made endings? Way too many games out there with sloppy/unsatisfactory/unfinished/unpolished/unimaginative/whatever endings... Kotor2... Check! Nwn2... Check! Throne of Bhaal... Check! Unreal II... Check! Pac-Man... Check! Pirates!... Check! Tombraider: Legends... Check! Those who have completed them can probably also add Oblivion, NWN OC, (insert popular franchise here) etc.
  14. I don't know how much of a dfifference there is between Outlook and Outlook Express, but the last couple of times I've moved my data, I just copied the contents of \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook to a pair of zip files and restored on another computer. I can't remember if I did anything alse...
  15. yeah I was really stunned by that.. But the only other country than USA, I could think of that started with a U, was Uruguay .. and I'm not even sure that's a country.. ^_^ Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdoms, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and the obvious (for those in the interview) United States of America. Are there more?
  16. Truly a great man :'(
  17. I disagree that it is an irrelevant issue. Agreeing or disagreeing on that point of view can be part of establishing whether or not a fetus is an individual. Just as the argument for or against using self awareness as a means of determining "rights" for individuals. I don't think it's possible to come up with a simple set of ethical values by which it can be judged whether or not a fetus is alive (I'll refrain from using the word Baby from the the thread title as it is obviously biased). A set of arguments can be presented and in the end, the total weight of arguments and the weight you put on the arguments will determine your oppinion. I'll take the word from a mother or a mother to be over somebody who either only listens to himself or narrowmindedly repeats some doctrine any day of the week. Unfortunately, those individuals whose oppionion I would appreciate seems to be notably absent from these kind of threads. Thats the one, yes
  18. Really?
  19. The cynic in me says, the fetus has great value to the cosmetics industry whereas the person with a fatal disease only has a future as soap (soylent green?)... On a more serious note, why are you so dead set on attributing a "value" to a fetus. For all I know, the fetus is part of the mother, being physically part of her body (through that cable thing which I can neither spell nor pronounce in english), very much the same way as a mothers hand is attached to her shoulder through her arm. Once they get "seperated", yes, then they are two different beings. Well, just one point of view
  20. Cloning? :-"
  21. You have to trick him. Lead him out into the middle of the floor and then pull the lever for the trap door. He'll fall down into a pit full of rabid users ^_^ It is pretty annoying though, that your protagonist becomes the chosen one, every time you have some kind of interaction with other npcs. You can have somebody else with superior conversation and appraise skills, but in the end it will always be your protagonist who gets chosen for the talking and bargaining. I also wonder if it is for the sole purpose of rendering tracking mode, listen and spot skills useless that several places uses hook horrors instantly spawning opponents?
  22. Can any of the Windows gurus out there tell me about the number of processors supported for Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista (whatever similar version) ? No fun in planning for a monster hardware if you have to run MacOS on it then... or being forced to install Windows Server 2003 in order to play Baldurs Gate Does multicore (i.e. quad core) count as multiple processors for licensing purposes? I.e. if the OS allows two cpus, would that be two physical cpus or one dual core cpu?
  23. Are you sure about that number? On page 48 it says only 43 minor problems are being tracked... what happened? If you look at the bottom line, it says 167 open and 596 resolved issues (problems). Edit: Thats on the progress report page on their website.
