That was part of the evilness. Create interest, then dump the subject B)

Now now, I am sure the excellent artists of Obsidian can make 2D crates almost as pretty as 3D ones. Don't give up! Don't step into the light!! You think crates should only be rendered in isometric perspective ? Think about the possibilities of 3D rendered crates. The game universe seen from a first-person crate perspective played out in real-time!

Ok, ok, I'll be nice!... (are you still here?)

Hereby officially confirmed, Penn involves 3D gfx. Thanks for the info Any more details you can share with us ?

Yipiee... Virgins! Now where did I put that sacrificial dagger...?

Not living in the US, I must say, I find some of these things slightly amusing. Military institutions (all over the world) often have to compete with their civilian equivalents for the talents available, especially if we are talking skilled workers. Air force pilots gets tempted by civilian airlines, army engineers by civilian companies, naval officers by corporate shipping lines etc. Some of the things the military has to offer is either better benefits, citizenship, pensions, access to education/college for yourself or your kids, whatever. Apparantly bodily modifications have been added to the list. Big deal. Who knows, perhaps the US army needed a facelift in general ? B)

Now, if they were to offer Fallout 2 style combat implants... then it would make sense

It could also be, that they were running out of "volunteers" for new surgeons to practise their skills on... Perhaps we should suggest this perk to Bethesda ?

My lim-lim serves as a paper weight after an encounter with one of the prostitutes... Very loyal little fella, never goes anywhere B)

If this is the very oldest (don't know if it's true or not) off-topic thread, it sort of deserves to be kept alive doesn't it ? Perhaps Obsidian should have a museum section for old threads that are worth preserving for posterity...

Somehow I get the feeling that more swedes (well, those from Skaane anyway) would migrate to DK than the other way around, for that reason alone... The grass is greener etc.

This thread is funny It started out being uninteresting, since neither my native nor my current country is on the list Then it became interesting as I gained a bit of insight into living conditions of indian nations in the US Then it became ridiculous as the bashing started Then it became hilarious as the bashing improved Oh, and for whom it might interest: The internet was a military invention that was "commercialised" in the US The www was invented by a british guy and put into the "public domain" (the guy still sits in the W3C) The UN was a US invention (of all things) after WWII, meant as a replacement for it's predecessor organsiation (sorry, the name eludes me currently) which again was founded after WWI (Note: They didn't do it alone, but they were the most active, pushing for getting it established). As a native Dane, I would think it's definitely time to start bashing the Swedes and the Norwegians to put them in their place

I would have suggested a miniature giant space hamster named "Noo!", but afaik they have eyes. Doesn't fit the description. Perhaps it's a blind miniature giant space hamster ?

Can it purr ?

Only sometimes...

A reclusive seer shrouded in riddles, you reveal very little and only what is deemed congruent with your plans. Understanding is a three edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth. Ehhh.... Whats a Kosh ???

This Darth Sion guy looks like, he could be potentially an interesting character...

Oops :ph34r:

Yes, Happy birthday Alexia

Dear Sir, I am a senior citizen. During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job. I took numerous vacations and had several vacations homes. Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse: I lost my job. I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War. I lost my home. I lost my health insurance. As a matter of fact, I lost virtually everything and became homeless. Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me. I will do anything to insure President Bush's defeat in the next election. I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year. Bush has to go. I just thought you and your listeners would like to know how one senior citizen views the Bush Administration. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Sincerely, Saddam Hussein

I had the same thought and asked the question a while ago... There's no plans for a playback feature that I'm aware of. Unfortunately, playback is a complicated feature to integrate unless the engine was designed with it in mind in the first place. And this one wasn't. I don't think it'd be doable. Looks like a "no"

Ehh... Harder games != more fun. Better games = more fun. Better being a completely subjective thing. The original poster (Alexia?) had the right idea with a variable setting. If the default setting is not your cup of tea, by all means change it to suit your playing style. Just leave options open for both the less skilled and the expert players B) Did the Mensa test a decade (give or take a few years) ago. Scored 168. Laughed my ass off, as I don't consider myself very bright and I suck at math. You can't take those things serious at all. Ask youself this, are you skilled and resourceful enough for whatever you want to do in life ? If so, great. If not, either work harder than others or do a reality check and set yourself some new, achievable targets (did the last one a few times myself )

A small "world map" on each world to expand the transit system. Not just going to the Ebon Hawk and back, but also from sub-map to sub-map when they are considered "safe" and have been reached first time. Especially Manaan drove me crazy when having to walk from from one end of the city to the other end... While not exactly expanding on the Ebon Hawk itself, it expands on the functionality that it provided originally...

That would be the point of the thread, discussing how to do that
