No, it was the People's Front of Judea, or the Judean People's Front, and their charter that included Eric Ilde's "Stan" character right to have babies. (He piped up and said "Or woman" whenever John Cleese read out a new codicil.)

Spamzilla!

... And we shall never know.

The mouse and keyboard cables are UNSHIELDED. Not much to do about that, except move them as far as possible away form the speakers (I get interference from my monitor, too). Or, you could buy a cordless mouse and keyboard.

Does that set include the newer homo sapiens sapiens? I was quoting from Life of Brian, btw.

Oooo! Listen to HER! What would a grrrrl know? j/k

If it is disabled in the BIOS, then the Device Manager won't see it. (You could try re-enabling it in BIOS and disable it through the Device Manager, if you want.) What is the problem, now? Error message?

It depends on the game, but VO budgets are generally small, yes. To quote the old addage; no ****, Sherlock. Did you post this to distract? I really don't see any purpose to it. I'm fairly sure everyone knows this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I posted this because (to a lesser extent) you, and others (to a greater extent) seem to think that writing is secondary and some abstract part that can be tacked onto the end of the development cycle. This is not true. At all. In any way, shape or form. Players want, no, demand a visual confirmation to their actions in modern games. They also demand textual and auditory confirmation. If there is none, they feel cheated, additionally there is no more efficient way to express something visual than with a visual trigger. If I score a hit against a guy's leg, he should react to with all three of the aforementioned means. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You think graphics are the most important aspect of games. Bully for you. That is your opinion. You really aren't going to convince me, no matter how vociferous you get. Think of Tomb Rader: Angel of Darkness. It had the momentum of a successful franchise and the latest

Even though it was a set-up, I agree.

I haven't checked the Hall of Fame for six months or so ... looks like some good stuff there. I even saw a Final Fantasy IV mod.

Leroy!

Isn't it obvious since I'm still asking for help? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try clicking on the link.

... Certainly scared Mr Sawyer off.

Sure. (Aside: your friend scares me.) VO costs bugger all. Less than 5% of the cost of a game. Look at Beneath a Steel Sky. Brilliant, flawless VO. Good writing is NOT JUST the sqiggly bits in speech bubbles and descriptions. It is the whole game design. A story. A narrative. Characters. It is the planning underpinning the entire game. Graphics are just eye candy. Just like sugar-saturated sweets, there is only a short-term pleasant effect associated with it. If there's no writing to provide some meat and potatoes, then the game will die. Aside 2: I wouldn't bother reading WoW plots, either. Damn waste of time.

Weren't we beating a dead flying horse? How did this thread deteriorate so far?

I'm obviously just not gay enough to find you cute enough. I support your right to have babies!

Whomever it is, let's hope they don't get burnt ...

Or woman!

No. :"> I read ann article about it. Um, I think it was in The Escapist.

I going for 7.1. ^_^

That needs a little more roleplay imagination ...

Haven't you fixed it yet?

...And he still complains!
