  1. Ok, cooperative posting it is then It might just be, that you are already preaching to the choir (me being a bf1942 fan)... I hardly doubt, that anybody denies the fun, that can be had from cooperative gameplay. Only obvious consideration is whether or not the cost/benefit of whatever resources you have to sacrifice, makes it worth implementing in a game.
  2. Interesting point Dakoth. Without the benefit of emoticons or footnotes, it could have meant anything from a cloned image (likeness wise) to an erect walking bi-pedal mammal (primate). It's all in the interpretation
  3. I've got this piece of real estate for sale in the Bermuda Triangle. Go get it before it disappears
  4. I prefer Jackie Chan for the comic relief. Can't say I ever managed to watch a full movie with Bruce Lee...
  5. Depends on what you define as "science". I tend to agree though, that "Software Engineering" might have been a more descriptive term (having spent 5 years at university doing computer science and electronics a long time ago)
  6. A Starwars movie without Jedi's or Sith would be a refreshing change B) Like the "Young Han Solo" about Han Solo as a smuggler and scoundrel, surviving in the underworld of the ailing Eepublic or some such. I might be a minority, but I actually liked the young Indiana Jones tv series
  7. So what, you run around all day and fix broken Quantums. Big deal I tend to agree with SoE on this one too, pure science for science's sake is a gamble. If you are among the best/genius in your field (which mean, you wouldn't even have to ask what the most interesting one is), your streets will be paved with gold and you'll only miss out on small details like friends and a life. If you are not a genius/authority in your field, welcome to your second day job to make ends meet
  8. Ok, that one looks mean, voted for IG-88
  9. I would like to know who IG-88 is before I vote I know AK-47, ehh I mean HK-47, but the other one ?
  10. He might be a decent actor elsewhere, then he was just cast wrongly or directed poorly in the SW movies
  11. You mean girly looking boy with the acting talent of a wall ? As if episode II wasn't disastrously bad already, that casting disaster just did the movie in completely One, I need to find the original theatrical version in a hurry (probably some second hand vhs) and convert to digital format. Two, Lucas needs to be declared insane and taken into custody for an indeterminate period...
  12. The only UFO's I've seen with my own eyes are those that come out of my microwave oven... Unidentifiable Food Objects :ph34r:
  13. Actually, Herve's plan is even more devious. By pretending to be incompetent and driving the already ailing company he took over to the brink of destruction, he can acquire all the available stock for a piece of candy. Once he got them all, he'll pull out his great master plan, drive up the stock value and fill his own pockets with $ FOOL anyone ?
  14. You're right: "Shrunk in size"...
  15. Cereal Killer ? Fear the deadly breakfast!
  16. Oh, those notorious Finnish anarchists! Look at the bright side, as bad a thing as empire building is, no empire lasts. The Roman empire grew complacent, diluted with foreign ideas and ethnic groups in their armies and edministration, the Spanish empire grew complacent, navel fixated and convinced of their own superiority. The various Chinese, Indian, pre-Columbian, British etc. did the same. Even a recent one like the communist Soviet empire choked to death in paranoia and overspending on their military budgets to sustain their global ambitions (and literally fell apart, when the infrastructure couldn't carry the weight anymore). Preprogrammed selfdestruction seems to be part of any empire, it's just that you can't really set your watch after it B.t.w. what does "Sarjahurmaaja" mean, does it translate into something, or does it just sound "Finnish" ? B)
  17. Kotor 2: The knights who says: Ni! Kotor 2: The 50 first (release) dates Kotor 2: The five year plan of the Sith party Kotor 2: Return of the almost last Jedi etc.
  18. Nemo's dead. He's found in the temple where you get the first star map Well, appatently he's been "resurrected" for the lastest TSL demo movie. Ohhhh! He's the dead looking Sith lord (Sorry, I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if thats the guy you are referring to)

  20. Somehow, I doubt very much, that you are going to get a representative view of the hardware in PC land... But anyway: 2.8 Ghz P4 (800Mhz FSB), 2 Gb pc3200 mem on an Asus p4p800 deluxe board(hyperthreading), GeForce FX5900 w. 256 mb mem, 1 80 Gb system disk and 2 120 Gb in a raid 0 (sigh, I really need more disks...), Soundblaster Audigy II and my trusty old Hauppauge tv/radio/ttv card (for watching tv on my computer) and one region free dvd drive and one region 1 dvd burner (that way, I can watch both international dvd's as well as those US ones that checks for RPC1 drives) Way too many peripherals to fit into one room, 5.1 speakers, drawing pad, joystick etc.
  21. Are you looking for hardware geeks or software geeks ?
  22. (typo edited by me) Hehehe... gives the Starforge new potential
  23. Don't say that you don't know Ally and Oz ???
  24. Gorth and I have been together for more than 20 years now, so we are "Old Buddies" He's my alter ego in most things that require a proxy, whether it be old mud games, mailing lists, forums, whatever. Mostly he is just me, as in the real me, although he usually only reflect one personality at a time. Some days cracking bad one-liners, some days brooding and insightful, somedays just bored and midly trolling etc. Mostly a reflection of the person behind the keyboard at the time of writing. No, never really had any trouble keeping the two apart. The real me's identity is not secret, I just don't go around broadcasting it B) If I had to point out a difference between Gorth and me, it would be, that working in a competitive environment amongst lawyers, auditors, FMO's, CEO's etc. Gorth is less "guarded" in his statements and attitude which is a nice release (escapism if you want) from real life every now and then... :ph34r:
