She's not a teenager, and her password has been reset. I've already said Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday, again!

The Psycho French Stuntmen Take Manhattan? No, that starred a bunch of Belgian tunnel-diggers ...

Reads like datura ...

I must admit I have trouble keeping up with your mood swings, Volo.

I will not dignify that comment with a giggle.

Don't forget PhantasySTAR!

Are you insinuating something about gender in those descriptions?

If I think Troika are a bunch of long-haired fruitcakes with skunkweed in the glove compartment, does that count as a conspiracy theory? Man, you moderators. Anything for a giggle. Donkeys, lingerie, umbrellas and all that! Hang on -- I know a donkey's waiting for my special kiss. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, that would come under RPG companies holding or folding "based on the quality of their games." Which, as a general rule, is bunkum. (Unless you think there is some ulterior cause, some hidden agenda ... a conspiracy.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, but apprentice to a Mage is such a limp duty; such a Mickey Mouse job.

I'm pretty sure that's a misquote. The Ring, being a thing of pure evil that it is, would have not chosen Frodo unless it was sure it could use him. "There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought. " from the movie. I'll agree that Frodo was a chosen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, that was the one I was trying to quote from memory.

Isn't that like the structure of an MMORPG? And still, a game with no included storyline would need to have something else that apeals to the person to get them to want to play. The game would probably heavily rely on the setting then, and that might be tough to do, getting a setting that would attract enough people to buy a game with no storyline. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As long as it would entail a lot of grinding, it sounds like a winnar!

I'd vote for A, if it was a sorcerer or a warlock and not a magic user.

Just a minor tangential point of order: "... The ring chose you, and that is a very comforting thought." Gandalf the Grey, LotR. Frodo was chosen.

... and the Chinese!

Listen, despite what the moaning fora might lead you to believe, NwN2 is not going to be a negative game in any way or form. It'll be a shining, glowing endorsement of their talents, building on the excellent word-of-mouth runaway success of Bioware's original. KotOR:TSL, likewise, isn't going to even be remembered except as part of the whole KotOR-cυm-Star Wars (gaming) phenomenon. Even now, the most vociferous of forumites would be pleased to play through it again, I'm sure.

You cannot hypnotize someone to do something they wouldn't do ordinarily.

Yeah, what are the strikes against Obsidian?

I confess I haven't read it, yet. But it's pretty blatant in it's content, and I have a friend whose parents bought it as a living room table dressing (a topical statement for all good middle class couples to show they are in touch with the political zeitgeist of the time, which we all know now that the Germans were treated improperly after WW1).

The military is an excellent motivator; the US armed forces' adoption of equal opportunity during WW2, based on the sheer superior utility of it, helped introduce the notion to the civilian population, for example. As the planet's fauna have developed their intellect, including such facets as emotions for example, then it is reasonable to assume that artificial intelligence will develop in a similar fashion (if not identically).

Fanboi drool quantity.

You should spend some time with her. "

The voices! The VOICES!

If your Auntie had wheels would she be a wagon? That's an impossible question to answer, but certainly a lot of the moderates in Germany might have been a little less carried away with the tide of euphoria that Hilter rode into Austria on ...
