Amen. Game OVER, man! End of thread.

Meaningless.

What do I get to skip? :'( They just couldn't sell it in any stores in the USA ...

It was released today in Britain. I had a copy on pre-order. (Won BEST FILM from he audience of Johnathan Ross's Film 2005.)

There is a DVD at Woolworths I saw the other day.

I've been waiting to see it again since it left the cinemas ... stupid Hollywood producers and their segmented markets ... :angry:

(w00t) ... er, I mean, no. No, just an appreciation thread ... "

Iron Spider Man?! Linkie? I can't see Kirsten Dunst signing up for more films after the third (especially for a low price), which is why I think the producers will take the opportunity to kill off MJ and introduce new f-buddy for Spidey. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, no link ragrding the cartoon. It was only a few episodes anyway and he played a small part. However in comic world, Spider-Man is getting or already has a new suit made by tony stark. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is Iron Man meant to be a baddie now, or something? Also, I though tTony Stark had died of alcoholism, and that black dude was now Iron Man ...?

No Buffy cast (actually I can't abide the other crap Whedon's done): it was a whole new crew. Check out ANY of the links to see a cast list. It will certainly come to cable. It has also just made it's money back ($40m to make) so let's hope that bodes well for a sequel ...

Serenity. Just watched it through again. And the extra deleted scenes, and the other extra bits.

... Extras from a Michael Jackson pop video?

Don't ask questions, just make lots of heat and noise! http://www.fireflyfans.net/main.asp http://www.fireflymovie.com/ (w00t) PS I don't think the form 308 will help in the short term, but it will give us an email address to spam untill Universal promise to make a sequel ... that's the theory, anyway ...

There is always a bias towards clerics, because no-one wants to play the goody-two-shoes whiney wimps. "

Yeah, anything with a refresh less than 20ms should be okay for all but the most demanding stuff, like watching Bad Boys 2 (one of the tests). A lot of panels are down below 12ms, some even 4ms.

The character generator mod I linked to will help create any character you might want, and equip them anyhow.

Well, you seem pretty optimistic. Who said *every* fan has to be pleased? If it's a good game then people will buy it: if I like it I'll buy it; others won't. Perhaps the most interesting comment you make is the reference (unconscious?) to "The Next Generation",

Energy weapons? Already here: SDI. How about hydrogen powered cars? No exhaust except water vapour. Or did you want some sort of nuclear propulsion? A gram of Uranium powers a Nuclear Submarine for years ... Does it have to be savages? We'll need to first come to a definition of what a soul is ...

I just picked up a great book (well, two): The Greek Myths two volume set, by Robert Graves (he wrote I, Claudius, The Nazarine Gospel Restored (a re-examination of primitive Christianity), but is most fondly remembered for his poety). Penguin ISBN 0-14-001027-0 So far it looks pretty good. I shall be pleased to report my findings ...

Love the Princess Leia hair. Oh, and (w00t)!

How so? I'm using my new 19'' LCD from some off brand company I think (X2gen) and it has an amazin picture. Looks just as good as any CRT I've seen. It's also about 10 percent of the weight. What is the ghosting and other stuff, anyway? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Brightness, contrast, no problem with refresh, to name three. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display, it uses a current to change the state of the crystals to let light through; this is not as fast as the electron gun in a CRT that fire a beam of electrons (hence the name) that are directed via the magnet in the Cathode Ray Tude. Although CRT screens larger than 17" weigh more than the room holding the computer equipment, and everything in it, and are almost deeper than they are wider, if you have the space and don't need a portable screen it is still a better screen, and they are markedly cheaper at the moment, too. LCDs are lighter and don't draw as much AC, and they don't need a screen saver. Biggest problem is there aren't too many reviews around comparing CRTs anymore, so it is more difficult to choose a good one.

True. Citizen Kane is roundly regarded as THE BEST FILM EVER MADE. It helps if you understand the historical significance of the eponymous character, William Randolph Hurst, sort of a Rupert Murdoch on steroids. In any case, it is a very good film. :cool: I have just watched Serenity! Everyone must go out and buy it, now. Now. NOW! (It's only just been released on PAL in Europe: The winner of Film 2005 film of the year

The thing is that I don't remember how you actually transfer your items from the old character to the new one! I remember using the DM client and opening the module I had created. Then, my old character dropped all her belongings on the floor. After leaving the game (but without closing the module... in other words, the game kept running), I re-entered it with my new character and picked all these items. The problem is that this whole procedure was quite complicated and the guy who had suggested it to me, gave me some guidelines on how to use the DM client. Since I am not very good when it comes to computers, I cannot do this again without someone helping me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In the Hall of Fame there is a module called +Novice to Epic Character Maker- Experience, Gold, Equipment, and More! that will allow you to do the swap using a box (load the module with your character) and even create your other character (level up / down).

Zing?

Not a Bible, just a group of geeks who do testing for a living and aren't on any payroll. Hostile? Who's hostile. I was just making a comment. People just don't like to hear their judgement questioned ... I never suggested the LCD was low quality, it just relies on mugs paying a premium for the -ahem- distinctive styling (or lack thereof). Here is the Custom PC review (which, coincidentally, was taken from PC Pro):
