  16. Actually, IIRC, Kotor1 had a total 3 years of development. Part of that time was used to tweak the NWN engine, but that shouldn't really prevent the other guys from writing up the story, characters, plot, composing, art etc. (this would be the local Bio fanboys cue to chime in and tell how silly that assumption is and how wrong I am >_
  17. Pervert!
  18. You guys wouldn't happen to have a webcam and a microphone installed ? :D
  19. I've only seen one game so far with what I consider consistently good voice acting: VMBL Other games have had some outstanding performances flanked by a lot of mediocre supporting cast. Makes you wonder how much of a games budget is voice acting and if it wouldn't have been better spent on other things (like hiring more QA staff) :huh:"
  20. It had nice sewers
  21. Zork I-III ?
  22. 10mm JHP's
  23. Thanks Eldar (sorry Azarkon, didn't see that one) The point being, boys and girls have different ways of using their bodies and body language. For some reason or other (which people which are more knowledgeable than I can elaborate on endlessly), boys seems to use strength and aggressiveness to establish their order in the hierarchy of the group. Whether it be the bully, the brightest or just the most daring. There is a competitiveness built into them that nees expression one way or the other. If left unchanneled, it leads to frustration, anger (and the dark side) and insecure human beings, because you remove an important part of their social skill training. As Eldar said, it's not about arranging pit fights and encourage them to beat each other up, but to let them "work it out" in ways that let them channel that energy and aggressiveness in one way or other, like regular sports or other physical demanding activities. Yes, it's probably more comfortable and easier to deal with kids if they are just sitting still, using their hands and heads (and mouths) in nice and less attention requiring ways (like not trying to see if it's possible to dig a hole through the floor). Girls, as somebody mentioned elsewhere are often more "stealthy" (I think that was the word used), I would say devious, when settling conflicts and establishing pecking orders. The conflicts and competitiveness is still there, but as long as they all survive the day, the less visible and less damaging to the environment way of small girls behaviour appears to be more appealing to those who manage large groups of kids.
  24. I don't know if people (sexes) should be treated equal. We are different after all, even in our psychological make up. Equal opportunity, same salaries for same jobs etc. however is a completely different matter which I think nobody in their right mind can argue against. A generation of young screwed up men is growing up, having had their competitive urges suffocated during young ages by kindergarten pedagogues (sp?) who treats the kids euqally and demands that the boys suppress their nature (and pretty much expect them to behave like girls, i.e. play nicely, no fist fights etc.). Only now is the damaging effects on the psyche of male kids really showing. So tell society that they can go sit on a cactus, there is a difference :thumbsup:"
