  1. I think the problem with your machine is the way it works. It's not a teleporter, but a clone and disintegrate one machine you've got there. I'm not a matematician, but if there is a delay between having cloned yourself, the verification process and the disintegration of your original self, you will for a short amount of time exist as a doubleganger of yourself in two places at the same time. A teleporter is for me, a machine that actually teleports you, i.e. moves you over a distance. The move doesn't have to be instantanious, just presumably faster, safer, whatever. For the sake of argument about the definition of the *I*, you might as well just have stuck to a simple clone example. If a machine could duplicate you as a snapshot in time, with matter, exact configuration of electrical charges in yoiur braincells, everything pretty much, which one of them would be the *I*. You would most likely just go nuts when you are faced with the paradox of being half the person you were before
  2. I wonder if I should tell what an independend danish politician (and comedian) once got elected for :"> As in really truly elected and spent some years in parliament...
  3. Of which the first was an update to the online manual (if I remember correctly) and the second was strictly an attempt to fix some hardware incompabilities. They could easily have fixed some of the most glaring bugs, like typos etc. but I have some suspicions about contractual obligations to keep the xbox and pc version identical content wise. Just imagine the wailing and teeth gnashing if the patch had actually fixed ingame bugs for the pc users and not the xbox users
  4. Thats what I liked so much about them. Before dropping the game (when 3rd edition rules were released) I had a sizeable Valhallan army, 24 infanttry squads and 14 tanks. My friends had equally large Eldar, Chaos Marine and Space Marine armies. Sometimes, we would drop the 4x8 foot table and use the entire living room floor as battlefield, pitching in all the scenery we could put our hands on A handful of Commissars enforced discipline and summarily executed officers and squad leaders if/when they failed leadership tests *Sigh* Why did they have to ruin the game like they did with the Epic Space Marine system
  5. Even the very thought of collaborating with the Xenos and the Traitors condemns you as a Heretic. I say kill them all and let The Emperor sort them out
  6. Heresy is like a tree, its roots lie in the darkness whilst its leaves wave in the sun and to those who suspect nought it has an attractive and pleasing appearance. Truly, you can prune away its brances, or even cut the tree to the ground, but it will grow up again ever the stronger and ever more comely. Yet all awhile the root grows thick and black, gnawing at the bitter soil, drawing its nourishment from the darnkess, and growing ever greater and more deeply entrenched. Such is the nature of heresy, and this is why it is so hard to destroy, for it must be eradicated leaf, branch, trunk and root. It must be exorcised utterly or it will return all the stronger, time and time again, until it is too great to destroy. Then we are doomed. Spoken like a wise Inquisitor. Now go eradicate some Tau planets
  7. The Tau are an unnecessary addon to the WH40K universe in an attempt to cater to the manga/robotech/whatever fans As if the additions of Necrons weren't bad enough They fit in about as well as chocolate sauce to pickled heerings...
  8. Killed by a fish
  9. You don't say? :D That was my first ending in that game. Very very creepy :ph34r:
  10. Racing destruction set... Archon... Doomdarks Revenege... :'( Hmm. Probably a few hundred titles predating 1990 that I would like to see remakes of :">
  11. The cat smiley ate it
  12. So, what you are saying is, red haired people are mutants
  13. We hadn't heard anything negative about it :D
  14. You can never have enough 3-step plasma transformers
  15. And it was such a promising sounding game, even if it was console only
  16. Ages ago, before the IAU took this decision. I found this one just after the news broke, and I'm seriously considering a T-shirt as a birthday gift for a friend who's up in arms about this. Pretty close Buy a T-Shirt, support the civil rights of non-planets :D
  17. I wonder when the first "www.savepluto.org" type websites are going to pop up >_ Bloody inner planet elitists... always descriminating those existing at the edge of the society.
  18. Why don't we put those monkeys to good use and let them write crpgs instead ? An infinite number of monkeys slaving away at the keyboards... one of them is bound to end up with a good game As for the original questions, the answers were: 1) No (for the very reason that a Beethoven might be the result) 2) A (I thought A was James Bond :"> )
  19. It wasn't so much the Fallout 2 part that was interesting as it was the Fallout 3 part >_
  20. It is all about exposure and marketability of the information. In comparison: Number of people killed in the traffic: 44,757 (source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/acc-inj.htm) Yet nobody sings the praise of or raise statues in memory of the brave heroes, the unknown motorists, who goes onto the road every day, risking their lives to keep things running... >_ As Cantousent mentioned, try looking at the cost in other things than lives: http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/...top_2_trillion/ Even of the number 2 trillion dollars is a few hundred billions off either way, it's still a lot of money that could have been spent on other things. Even Bill Gates doesn't have that kind of money.
  21. Replace religion with ideology and Taliban Afghanistan with Maoist China and you get quite a few similarities Yet no one lined up in the queue to invade China and liberate the chinese during the "cultural revolution"
  22. Wasn't it olnly the old xboxes who had problems with running that hot ? Still, an upgradeable xbox sounds to me like a cheap (albeit powerful for the price) pc
  23. Not a lot really Disciples III for certain and maybe mildly curious about NWN2. The only two games on my current shopping list are Heroes of Might & Magic V and Tombraider: Legend :">
  24. Somebody probably forgot to store their popular science magazines out of his reach again
