Yeah, that's hype for ya. Still, it doesn't sound dumbed down, which (along with the gimped length), was the main criticism of Deus Ex:Invisible War.

Well, the political world can change (and does, in games like Guild Wars) a lot.

That just means Obsidian should not have a lot a trouble adding them to NwN2, in due course.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Irrational have designed Bioshock too look like that, it's not part of some "trend", modern, artistic or otherwise. Listen to how Mr Levine describes the conceptual beginnings of the world of Rapture, (page 4), below. While we're there, I think focusing on the graphics is missing the point, again from Mr Levine (same page, above), below. This is the sort of guy I want making games, again, same interview, page 1, below. page 2 GameSpy 5 September Interview.

The concept might be simple, but the technology is completely impractical for as long inot the future as we can peer. To obtain the necessary resolution to map each subatomic particle, you would need a lens larger than an AU; not to mention how much power you'd need to record the particles ... and you'd have to do it instantaneously, owing to Heisenberg's uncertainty (because all the subatomic particles would be a different place in the next instant: sort of like Zeno's Arrow Paradox). Assuming that these major issues were solved, I wouldn't be too keen to destroy this body, just in case there were some "unrecorded" part, i.e., not necessarily a "soul", but any part of the universe that our science hasn't modelled and measured yet (e.g. what about the higher dimensional aspects of the super-strings that may make up all matter?). So. No. And I won't ever have to worry about it, anyway.

It wouldn't be MY LIFE if I was living in some artificial bliss: my life has pain and joy, anger and frustration.

I don't think that many can read ... :ph34r:

What is the natural log of zero?

Man, those ears are certainly powerful!

When I talked with the son of an Iranian diplomat he said Iranian youth just want to be free, do what they want. When I asked whether that meant eventually the liberal youth would take over he said no because there'll always be hardass kids growing up ready to take over. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Simple: do an Old Testament intervention: kill all the hard-arse children.

I used to be indecisive ... but now I'm not so sure. ba-dam tish!

Ah, a Sicilian family. I think it would be more accurate to compare game developers with film companies: similar "content providers".

Yes, moving to KotOR general.

Hee hee: Kaftan's economic policies ... :D Kaftie, start your own party! Seriously. There was a guy in Australia who started his own party. He got a lot of air time on tv, because he only had one plank to his platform. Whenever he was asked a question, he'd just blurt it out: Free BEER!

No wonder the place got burnt down.

Nearly. The car is accelerating every second by an additional 1.6m. (1.6 meters per sec per sec) So, not devided by 1.6, you need to use: where u is the initial velocity (m/s) v is the final velocity (m/s) t is the time interval (s) elapsed between the two velocity measurements (also writen as "Δt")

Take off the sound bit. ∴ 2.5 seconds (total time) take away 16.5

You're right, I missed that.

You make a strong case ... for being committed.
