What do you mean by full contact? Another example of full contact sports: http://www.kungfu.net/sanshou.html Other definitions here: http://www.answers.com/topic/contact-sport (search for "Full-contact sport" on the page). A full-contact sport is similar to a semi-contact sport, but which contains physical contact between the combatants with the aim of causing a knockout or otherwise rendering the opponent inable to continue the match. Injuries are much more common in full-contact sports since the amount of protective gear is often reduced, and the techniques are executed at full power. Makes Chess much more interesting

Happy birthday :cool: I'm sure that Arkan, being the nice and generous guy that he is, will give away any surplus birthday greetings to the needy and deserving

You obviously haven't tried full contact, real-time chess :("

Sledge Hammer, meet Testicle. Testicle, meet Sledge Hammer... *Clonk!* I miss this game

I miss my tame golem from IWD2 :'(

What's the penalty for throwing a BigMac

I liked the firendly fire accidents. Made it more "real" somehow. Sounds silly, I know, but it made me think where I went, to avoid getting into crossfire between teammates and enemies. If just my team mates would have shown the same consideration every now and then As for the control over team memmbers, FO2 got it exactly right for my taste. Give them general orders, limited by their personality and let them do their own thing. It felt like you and a party, Not you being a 7 headed hydra wielding 3 guns, 2 knives, 1 flamethrower & a gauss rifle at the same time.

In no particular order (besides numerical, integer, lowest to highest designation) 1 3 5 6 8 9 10 16

*Sniff*... *Sniff*... That smell is slightly familiar. Has a whiff of Interplay (R.I.P.) about it :ph34r:

That's less than 0.000955725 Nautical Miles Poor you :'(

Images of politicians wearing tin foil hats spring to mind...

You are all midgets 1.90m btw I got a little brother who is also 1.90m and the youngest one is 2m

So the dutch can't really call their country "Nederland" (low-land) anymore, now can they ? Welcome to the new Holland, the "Highland"

A few personal favourites... Joy You dont' say Boooring Makes me sick This thread is doomed You are joking, right ? I'm Danish Brilliant idea Work in progess it seems

I'm pretty sure the last time I checked, there were still a few progress bars (light sabers) at the bottom of the list showing 0%. They are "gone" now (as in left the 0% mark) ... Can we play it now ? Please ? (w00t)

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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...

Killed by a fish

You don't say? :D That was my first ending in that game. Very very creepy :ph34r:
