It is, especially if/when the player is forced to reconcile conflicting "virtuous" resolutions to an event. There's a glimpse of that sort of stuff in the gypsy character creation segments, but it isn't often realized in the Ultima games themselves. I still believe there's a great potential for it in the setting. Yep, that was the big hook that grabbed me.

So, it's a PCI Nvidia? The software that came with the card will tell you what model ...

You could move all the files from the override directory (or whatever it's called), until you get past this bit with the failed trigger, and then move them back.

Excerrent.

DC - Difficulty Class. Basically a number you have to reach to do something. A lock might have a DC of 15; your PC's security skill has to be able to reach a 15. All skill rolls get a random amount from +1-20, added to your skill level, to beat a DC. (This represents the icosagon (twenty-sided) die roll, that d20 takes its name from.) Also used for some saving throws.

That's quit an expensive fix ...

Or you could do my fave Maybe if you have the carpet and Mission in your party .

Will that match the sunburn?

Or perhaps once you learn how to speak Swahili, you'll want to speak it all the time around your English-speaking friends to show off that you can and also so as to not forget how.

I've been trying to use my human eyes to see through the cloud cover and observe some of the celestial sphere.

You are pleased by your ignorance? Tis a shame, meta. A right shame. Gundam has a wide spectrum of series. At least in regards to taste in mecha. Believable (08th MS team) to retardedly wacky (Gundam Seed where there's a Gundam that fires like 6 different colored beam cannons at the same time). I am also blissfully ignorant of the taste of arsenic poisoned human flesh, and pleased about that, too. Not all knowledge is not necessarily necessary. (I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive.)

I think you just broke Tale's rule number one. (Or two, I forget.)

That's the old "broaden the audience to create a wider market segment" Hollywood dynamic. See above. The "ancient city under Antarctica" that was a precursor to human civilization was an idea that was just gaining (more scientific) public awareness, too, so I was quite impressed that someone had incorporated it into a screenplay already. Alien

Space Monkeys with antimatter and black hole technology? That sounds far-fetched.

What could go wrong is the drivers for the GPU: the software component that manages the graphics capabilities and is updated frequently. A corrupt driver would result in your system not being able to identify the video card. What is the card? What drivers have you installed for it? (For example, you could update the installed Windows DirectX driver to version 9.0c, if your video card can handle version 9.) (My comment should have read "orf significant GPU draw", meaning an application that draws a lot of "graphical complexity". )

Sounds like a video card issue, given the limited info: the cut-scenes need more juice than the title sequence and menu. How did it "stop working"? Does any other game (or significant GPU draw) work? Also, this shouldn't be here ... either Skeeter's or KotOR2.

Like any troubleshooting, you will need to detail your system so that we can help you determine what the problem is. (Just because this fault has been repeated on three different systems doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't related to your particular way of customising Windows and the OS environment, either: you might be loading something that is clobbering one of the dynamic-linked libraries, or perhaps the Anti-Virus application is attacking some of KotOR's allocated memory, etc.)

I am blissfully ignorant of these ... Gundam things. And I am pleased about that.

What have you done to Kaftan, you evil doppleganger? CRTs do draw a lot of power, and they excrete a lot of waste heat and electromagnetic radiation (primarily directly behind the screen, projected in a straight line) so make sure you don't have anyone permanently situated behind the monitor ... unless it's your nephew. Maybe a bit of radiation therapy might do him some good.

I guess all the answers to the questions you pose (that I had so effectively repressed from my viewing of the film) will be answered in the sequel ... :ninja10:

Looks good. If you don't have a space/weight/power limitation, I can't see why people wouldn't consider a CRT. That's pretty cheap, and a good spec. Tell us what you think when it's plugged in.

Actually, although there is a "Far Side of the Moon", there is no "Dark Side of the Moon". Interesting Freudian slip there: the wide spectrum of people ... that are spectres ..!

Um, the Crab Nebula exploded a millennium ago and there is still debris ... there must have been a lot of monkeys with vacuum attachments ...

Subjectively.

I've finished almost all the reading material for two of my subjects, and I've started the third text book, Introduction to Astronomy ... lots of interesting stuff, like angular size (the Moon is about 30' = 30 arcmin, or 30 minutes of an arc (of one degree), which is the angel subtended at the eye of the observer by the diameter of the Moon). Here is a picture, from Apollo 16, of the far side of the Moon: Also, here is the South Pole, wherein there is ice in the regolith (the smooth soil-like ejecta that covers the surface), an estimated 1.5km
