Not frustrated that Obsidian doesn't have it, nor do I hate Bethesda. I'm just frustrated that Bethesda has it, which is something that I hate. Having tried Morrowind for a few hours, I had hoped I would never have to touch a game by that company again and would have lived happily ever after if we had taken seperate paths, just leaving each other alone. I would almost say anybody but Bethesda, who is the antieverythingfalloutstandsfor... >_ Wasn't that diplomatically put ?

But Pirates is 5? mini games linked together with a seascape. >_ I think dancing is easier from the keypad although a gamepad is the easiest of the lot. Compared to fixing the lightining towers in FFX dancing is a piece of cake. Although I'd still get dancing shoes before a sword. I suddenly feel like playing Pirates! again... Still, I think, that there are mini games that makes more sense than others. The tactical combat ones makes sense for me. Of course, you could also argue that dancing is similar to tactical combat :D Slightly more on topic, just finished playing the Space Empires IV demo for the umpteenth time.

Sadly they do. Same fighting style (apparantly) and even the same name for the villains (not the famous 100-200 years too early pirates, but the dastardly spaniards who kidnapped your family). More ships allows you more crew members which is quite handy when assaulting major cities. Even at 18 year old, you will suck at dancing. Did I mention that I hate mini games ?

Whenever I hear the name Vader, I used to think "I'm your father Luke". Now I just think "Noooo...". A pox upon Lucas >_ I seriously think that Malak vs Vader is a battle of the brain dead zombies

Just about anybody was smarter than Malak. He got tricked by Revan, he got tricked by the Jedi, he got tricked by the player character... anybody except perhaps Darth Bandon was smarter than Malak :D

Jeg used to have some rather dark desktops... I still like it neat though. In 50% size:

Adds half a point to toughness and an extra "bite" attack ?

Women... does anybody know what they truly mean ?

Mini games >_ Real time, where real time doesn't add anything except a twitch dimension for the sake of adding a twitch dimension to a game. If you don't have the attention span for a game, buy a fps game :-" Voice overs just for the sake of adding voice overs. If you can't do it well, then it just detracts from the game (I swear, I'll skip the next game released with Jennifer Hale in it!) Porting console controls to the most awkward keyboard layouts possible... what happened to combined mouse and keyboard controls. The mysterious shrinking of game levels. Not sure if it was just something that happened from Red Faction to Red Faction 2 or a more widespread thing, but boy the sequel sucked (I've been told, but not verified, that Unreal 2 was the same thing compared to Unreal)

It's an honourable tradition of old publishing companies being bought and run by frenchmen...

It's the "Black Isle" curse :ph34r: As soon as J.E.Sawyer starts working on a D&D title, hold on to your reigns...

About as polictically incorrect as you can get

Finland ? Whats the deal with that anyway. Do the Finns not know where they came from either ?

And they don't buy Danish cheese anymore...

I always imagined that, this is what insects would sound like if they had an oral language :D A couple of language prejudices, based on generalisations :lol:" Swedish sounds like a drunk Dane Dutch sounds like speaking with a hot potato in your mouth Japanese love poems sounds like declarations of war and finally, any french sounds like reciting a menu card... Languages that I like the sound of (not that I speak any of them) Irish (not english with an irish accent, mind you) Finnish (I'm probably going to hear a lot for that one) Italian (not sure why really, probably watched too much Sopranos) and finally spanish (the fifth language I always wanted to learn)

I think it's easier to spill wine on the second shirt and get away with it... :)" Those rennaisance parties can be a bit rowdy

You would have a hard time convincing anybody, that the original non 3d accellerated Tomb Raider game was pleasing on the eye. Sort of like two triangular polygons making out the chest area Taste, subjective be thy name (or some such), Some people just prefer women with class, leaving the spoiled, the arrogant and the hypocritical ones behind... For me, the original was about adventure and exploration more than anything else. It made a fine job of that for it's time.

Virtual Blank gives you +20 virtual TOMBS points for your successful conversion of "the Freedom of Speech thread" to "a religion thread". Anybody else seeing the amusing in a freedom of speech thread arguing against religion opressing freedom of speech beeing turned into a thread about religion due to the freedom of speech ?

Overall, franchise wise, it would be the Leviathan. In K2 specifically, it would be Telos.

Speaking of "Image"... I hope their backup procedures have improved since those early days In the beginning was The Guildmaster. And The Guildmaster was lonely, so on the first day, he created the forums. And so the forums came into being, somewhere around 2004. And The Guildmaster saw that it was good. On the second day, He said: "Let there be a dark theme" and the boards had a dark skin applied to them. On the third day, The Guildmaster created the sections and the forums and it was good. On the fourth day, The Guildmaster created the testuser and there was much nonsense posted and deleted and The Guildmaster rejoiced. On the fifth day, The Guildmaster appointed his archangel, Seraphim and his henchmen to run the boards and the Guildmaster was happy. On the sixth day, The Guildmaster opened the forums for the public and many more user accounts were created. The Guildmaster was now beginning to worry. On the seventh day, The Guildmaster saw that the boards was getting much more populated than anticipated and some technical stuff had to be done (all praise His Geekness!). On the eighth day, the world almost imploded onto itself, ancient knowledge being lost forever and many second generation users being swallowed by singularities in the multiverse. On the ninth day, the forums were patched up and sort of working again and The Guildmaster could wipe the sweat from his brow. On the tenth day, there was much mourning for the fallen and the lost, and the users wondered if their universe would ever be the same again. The Guildmaster assured that it was all part of a masterplan to ensure the survival of the user race. Occasionally, users with funny green tags will write things that other users will peruse with great interest and declare either gospel or insanity. Not really sure what to make of the users with the orange tags though, some of seems to be ordinary users with superhuman powers, others seems to have had that tag all their lives...

I loved the first game. Unfortunately, it's only hardware support is Glide and some other proprietary format. No directx support The second one was an OK game. Nice, but not quite as fun as the first one. The third one was crap. The fourth one sucked. The fifth one was ugly and bugridden beyond description. I am, if nothing else, stubborn :huh:" Didn't try the sixth one, Angel of Darkness, but I am curious as to what they'll come up with next, if they expect people to actually touch that franchise with a firepoker again...

Well, if anybody knows what a 1 foot rabbit weighs, we can perhaps just multiply by 3 and see if it's a good approximation ?

Saw that one on tv. Perhaps the Lebanese have suffered enough war and conflict on their own bodies to realise that war, fighting and killings sucks ? Isn't it quite convenient that embassy burnings in Damascus and Beirut has fanned the flames and created renewed unrest in Lebanon, causing the old feuds between warring parties to ignite again, hurting, amongst others, those who are against Syria's involvement in Lebanon :blink:"

That post was kindof weird... Join the peace movement for the furthering of tolerance and understanding
