  1. He has detailed files ... :ph34r:
  2. Correlation or causation, though?
  3. Well, the British navy have lost a couple of ships in battles, though, not against men with sticks ... I recall a particular one (with German battleship, though) and the postmortem I watched indicated that the UK ship was in breach of safety regs; apparently is was quite common to not keep an air-gap between all the constituent links in the chain from storage of the munitions to the guns, which caused a stray spark form the gun to ignite the entire load of munitions. Apparently, this was common lexa-non-scripta practice for the navy, as it allowed the teams to speed up the reloading process significantly. I guess the reason for health and safety regulations was brought home with such incidents ... :D
  4. Because I liked beating tanks with my man-with-a-stick? "
  5. The perfect Lawful Good dilemma.
  6. The player can lose points for imprecise work; you may not have noticed in because you were concentrating so hard on some of the unique characters ... "
  7. I've heard them referred to as "ass antlers". ) I very, very rarely see a design that I think is worth even a momentary adornment, let alone a lifetime's worth, which is why I generally don't see the attraction in tattoos. then again, remarkably infrequently, I see one that I think is actually worthy of the "art" label, as it transcends mere graffiti and becomes something sublime.
  8. Starker, zis is KAOS; vee do not use exclamation marks HERE. /Siegfried
  9. Mercury Rising. Yet another action film with Bruce Willis playing himself (as we are familiar with since Moonlighting), at least with some added zest, like a pre-emptive supporting character sketch of a child with a fantastic ability that we will see again soon in M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense (with a congratulatory wink to Rainman and the ambient newfound understanding of the differently-abled (or at least autism)). Alec Baldwin does a pretty good job in support, without going over-the-top too often.
  10. What? Personal opinion in a gaming forum? Thanks for the spoiler!
  11. Right, so it isn't possible to manually override a weaker general's strategy with your own, to help achieve a better result. That is good; one of the "advances" I didn't hold to in the Civ franchise, specifically from Two to Three and Four, was the protracted battle setting and concomitant unit health status (which mercifully could be toggled off).
  12. Cool.
  13. There is a location in the NwN2 campaign that you can use to investigate this ( ).
  14. I wonder if it will be multi-threaded ...
  15. It is a cursed, black day when folks are free to use such puns freely.
  16. Are the battles auto-fought? Can you zoom in and micro-manage the battles, like in Rome: Total War?
  17. Ahhhh, the old drunken monkey-see-monkey-do-with-a-boob-twist trick! /Maxwell Smart
  18. I think it's quite difficult to generalise; after all, it's art: a tattoo may look beautiful on one person in a particular place, and completely wrong on another (all things being equal).
  19. They don't have DVR's outside the States? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apart from (media) PCs, there is only the Fox Sky+ box.
  20. Spam is not tolerated.
  21. Why do old topics scare you? If it's relevant, then I would rather people resurrect the old topic (as long as it is not too large). The Bioware fora lock topics after a few days, and consequently it is a nightmare to search there.
  22. Depends, really: just because a word processor can be used by everyone doesn't mean everyone can write a bestseller.
  23. Stick it in your eye for ultimate dramatic effect.
  24. It helps them find extra bugs before the public release.
