  1. It is sort of a Dungeons & Dragons game...
  2. Some day I might, together with a few friends and some beers. If nothing else, to satisfy my curiosity. I'm unlikely to go watch it on the big screen though. Still, once all three prequels are available as rentals on DVD, I might just give them a try.
  3. You can't really take a number poll without 42 seriously. Besides, polls like this tends to discrimate complex numbers, which I'm sure they find quite offensive, always just the commercially viable mainstream rational numbers >_
  4. Tragic ? Possibly A Star Wars Nerd ? No I watched the original Star Wars (no stupid roman numerals) on opening night in 1977. I loved the movie and was fascinated by the universe. Never imagined that it would get a sequel, but was quite excited about it when I saw on T.V. that a Star Wars II was being made. The Empire strikes back, and I really loved Star Wars at the time of it's (ESB) release (despite it featuring that annoying little gremlin Yoda). The Return of the Jedi happened :'( It started quite OK for the first few minutes... The Droids arriving at the entrance to Jabbas abode. Then the doors opened and it was the friggin muppet show. My enthusiasm cooled from there way down until seeing Leia in that slave costume :"> Still, Jabbas Yacht, the band etc. pretty awful. The real killer was the Ewoks though. The moment one of those monstrosities stared at me from the silverscreen, I lost all interest in Star Wars >_ I did buy the "improved" trilogy on VHS when they were released, I did after all like the first two movies. A number of glitches had been fixed, the roman numeral IV added to the first movie etc. But *why* did they have to change the story and make Greedo shoot first ? I gave the videos away eventually to my then 4 year old nephew. He loved those SW movies. I saw The Phantom Menace as a rental, but didn't quite manage to stay focused on it. Didn't bother with the second one, can't remember it's name. So Star Wars nerd... definitely not anymore :cool:
  5. So they suck at crpgs... on the other hand, the Sturmovik series is reputedly a quite OK series of flight sim games, so they do know how to do something right. Besides, they can't make it any worse than Homm4, I refuse to believe that.
  6. Then I am a little bit excited After Homm3 I loved Homm4 just about as much as I loved Master of Orion 3 after Master of Orion 2
  7. It was a nice change. Atton got his butt handed to him by the sisters the first time, but otherwise... I prefer party based advanturing over the Kotor model, where you have a PC and his/her henchmen. Switching focus from the PC and giving you NPC's some screen time didn't quite make it party based, but it was an improvement. I especially liked the part on Dxun/Onderon where you selected two teams, the PC leading one on Onderon and an appointed "leader" to lead the other party on Dxun in what is supposed to be simultaneous events. I wouldn't mind at all if you were to do that more often (the appoint a different leader and followers and send them on their own missions thing). Makes them useful as more than just mannequins for new armour/robe fashion or underwear models.
  8. Sounds too good to be true, especially the tactical combat part (as in not another RTS). If it had just been announced like at least 24 hours before or after april 1st, in any time zone, I might have got just a little bit excited about it.
  9. Most likely option highlighted. Wouldn't really be fun running around with small nukes, that would blow up everything, the player included :p"
  10. That ain't a word, dumbass. IIRC, "ain't" isn't a word either
  11. Ladies and Gentlemen... The Killer of Kongs... The Chastiser of Chimps... The Molester of Monkeys... The one and only: Kumquatq3!*) *) This is the "before" picture. It might be necessary to contact closest relatives for the "after" picture.
  12. That's good, I still got that picture of you lying around for when I need to squeeze some info out of you someday
  13. That's a pretty nice wallpaper, just the way I like them (dark), but what is it ?
  14. What was that first option ?!? Didn't vote. Couldn't find the Sky Coloured option
  15. It's called "Rainlendar". Not exactly sure where it's homeaddress is, but a google search will give plenty of download sites. Thats only the "components" though, You can get a lot of skins for it customize it's looks and layouts.
  16. He sounds more like "AngstOne" or whatever his name was.
  17. What interview is that? I think if they are making BG3, there will be something said at E3, but if they are making something else, E3 will probably be a little too soon to expect anything (except the New Jersey forum, that is ) Count me is as being curious about what interview that was. BG3 sounds unlikely unless Mr. Morgan is very creative in dealing with the truth (i.e. no Bioware license and no sequel)
  18. At least you got this part right (unless you count Volourn of course).
  19. That would be Luxor from my all time favourite game. He gets to rule the known world and the name is easy on the tongue. Even a non-english speaker like me has an idea of how to pronounce it
  20. June ? Is that the time leading up to E3 or some similar event ?
  21. I thought that was "Forums" As for Star Wars, it does look like a bit borrowed here and there. The Midichlorians (Sp?) from Scientology, the "learn by doing" (There is no try, do or do not) from Zen Bhuddism etc. Trying to weigh the different contributors against each other is an exercise in futility. The Sith does look a bit like Darwinists though
  22. Gorth's place. I like it neat and tidy. A free Windows theme from www.wincustomize.com...
  23. Sheesh, Revan got tricked and beaten by a girl... Thrawn pwns! (not quite sure who Thrawn is, but Revan was a pushover who got replaced by an apprentice with the strategic skills of hun)
