    You were not considered worthy of continued membership of this community :p

     

    Actually, Obsidian was just learning the lesson of "Backup Procedures" and how not to trust so-called "IT Professionals". A few thousand posts disappeared as well as a couple of users, because of faulty backup procedures before and after a server move.

     

    It could also be that some Admin guy got really p**sed off and deleted you. :blink:

    Yeah, one of my best friends is from India. Thing is, he doesn't really consider himself "Indian", but Sikh. India is to some degree a british invention and the nation of India encompasses *lots* of different peoples and cultures. Probably not unlike the US or other "large" sized countries. For Europeans, it's less an issue as the constantly erupting wars moves borders to either follow ethnic groups, or genocide/relocate ethnic groups to fit within borders :)

    What if Delaware project isn't Kotor2?

    I wanna know what proof there is to make everyone think it's KOTOR 2

    The earth is flat, I mean, it's obvious right ? Everybody can see it with their own eyes, so everybody agrees, it must be flat. :p

     

    Sorry HA, just kidding, Rumours works like that. Repeat them often enough and they become faith. Enough faith and it becomes a religion. Woe to he who thinketh that its not Kotor2 :lol:

    The *true* nature of coffee

    in Way Off-Topic

    Posted

    Just sittng here, staring at my coffee and thinking. What is coffee made of ? How many particles ? The nature of it... stuff like that. Trying to figure out what my coffee is made of, resulted in ideas like molecules'n stuff. Then again, these are made up of atoms, which are made up of electrons, neutrons and protons, which are made of (insert favourite physics model here), repeated infinitely. Conclusion ? My coffee is made up of an infinite amount of "things". Why doesn't my coffee explode instantaneously and destroy the universe ? Probably because the rest of the universe is made the same way and applies an opposite and equal force on my coffee.

     

    No big deal, Coffee is still there and Gorth is happy. :)

     

    Then I thought about, what if something disturbs the balance between my coffee and the universe ? If the balance is disturbed to the disadvantage of my coffee, bummer, my coffee gets crushed by the forces of the universe. I can make a new cup of coffee. What happens if the balance is disturbed to the disadvantage of the universe ? My coffee explodes in a pyrotechnical show of supernova proportions and will probably destroy the universe. Better be careful with that coffee, It's potent stuff...

     

    Oh, and now my coffee's gone cold. :rolleyes:

     

    Better be careful when I pour it out and make som new...

    Imagine the irony, if it turns out to be Atari who is the publisher and Baldurs Gate 3 (Jefferson) the game. Now they can't announce it because Atari lost the rights to Interplay... :D

     

    I know, I know, paranoia :ph34r:

    How did KotOR fail?

    in Star Wars: General Discussion

    Posted

    Since I haven't completed it yet, my main gripe is the controls... horrible :rolleyes:

     

    Second worst part, the not optional arcade game sequences. If they want more action in the game, add some more moves like jump, crawl etc. and let the game be an advanced Tomb Raider/RPG mix. I love the exploration part.

     

    Third gripe, how about some quick weapon keys ? Like Ctrl+1 for weapon combo 1, Ctrl+2 for weapon combo 2 etc. (perhaps I've played too much Quake II)

     

    Apart from that, brilliant game :unsure:

    An experiment in non-linearity ?

     

    Most of them were no good anyway. It gives people a chance to rephrase and redo their posts. Really, how often do you get a second chance like that ? ;)

    The what was wrong with "delaware I" thread

    in Star Wars: General Discussion

    Posted

    The following is currently wrong with the "Project Delaware"game:

     

    1) The story is too thin

    2) The plot is non-existent

    3) The controls are unresponsive

    4) No multiplayer

    5) Graphics are undefined

    6) You can't hear the sound

    7) Character development ? What character development.

    8) Forget about turnbased vs. real time, you can't find either.

    9) You can't tell the console from the PC version

     

    Of course, this is based on what I've seen of the game so far :)

     

    Wonder if there will be a patch out soon that improves my impression of it ?

    Help required re. new rig

    in Way Off-Topic

    Posted

    Out of curiosity, is my calculation of about $1,800 (without software) for a home-built version of that rig right?

    A little more, like 2,388.32 USD (current exchange rate), but it includes a DVD RW +/- writer and was bought 6 months ago. I guess your price would be about correct now 6 months later, perhaps around 2000 USD.

     

    Oh yes, and you need the Screwdriver Feat too :rolleyes:

    Having an almost identical system myself, only a 2.8 Ghz though and home built, I can verify that, yes, thats a nice gaming platform.

     

    You might want consider a smaller, but the fastest possible system drive, like the medium sized Western Digital ones and then add a large capacity storage drive. Of course, if you have unlimited funds, you might just want fast AND big for both drive types :rolleyes: I found though, that four cheaper, large drives put in two raid 0 pairs performs quite nicely for storage.

     

    Good luck and happy gaming.

    PS: You might consider keeping the wife around as the rig can't cook nor make coffee
