Semantics. How do you define "good", and do the two instances (in the sentence above) have an equivalence? I think it is an oxymoron ...

You'll be looking into a phase-change cooler for your next self-made PC, then ...

I vote for !

Look out, I see Moths! (!)

Random astrological catastrophe causing or permanent disfigurement (charisma score halved: this is the ironic part), or else insta-death (depending on the saving throw result)?

I new that. :D

ME is rubbish. XP Home is better, but is still the same codebase; Win2k and XP Pro are better (2k is the most stable, which is why businesses favour it), especially for networking. I'd consider waiting a few months for Vista (assuming your PC can handle the minimum spec): usually the big Redmond monster gives some sort of upgrade path for recent purchases of their OS, but I wouldn't count on it being free (it might be, if you buy XP now).

I am watching you. The Sentinel sees all, even the future. (Except that speeding ticket I'm going to get next week

Absolutely! (What's good for the boys is good for the girls.) I really dug the first one. That blue (water) level, deep inside whereever it was (with the crocodiles): the way that the sets were all multi-level, and the flick of a switch would change (usually the water level) so that Lara could explore the newer area. That one with the giant statues,

RAM is a cheap, easy win, too (if you have less than a megabyte).

Should he take his character with him? (Depends if you like your character, methinks ...)

I also disagree with this statement. I played PnP long before I played any cRPG and my first encounter with the concept of AC was from AD&D. And I never thought decreasing AC made much sense. Then again, I think AC the way it works in either D&D edition is stupid anyways. But that is beside the point. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, that's the point exactly. AC is *stupid*. It makes no sense at all, and attempting to explain it logically is far more difficult than it is whether it should be counted up or down. Why start at 10 anyway? That's silly too, isn't it? I mean, a high AC is good (in 3e), right? So why does my character get a full 10 points to begin with? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why did German physicist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit create a scale where water freezes at 32

Never played it. Started BG2 a few times, too ...

I thought he was too stereotypical: dark, brooding angst-ridden warrior-priest wanker ... then again, "stereotype" is just a synonym for archetype ... How much further does the game go after Kurtis gets past his first end boss (wolfie)?

I'm sure I'll get it (for curiosity's sake, if for no other reason). I have a sackful of games to play at the moment, providing I can wean myself off TOMBS for a while ...

That doesn't make sense, or is incorrect. Please clarify.

.. or a third party?

Yes*. *Errors corrected realtime, as parsed.

We believe In the beginning religion didn't exist, so why did we feel the need to invent it, asks evolutionary biologist Robin Dunbar

cancer sucks, i heard you can get it from farting <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No.

Life begins at FORTY! ^_^

Dyslexia is not a mental impairment, strickly speaking, but a inability to focus on written word, with the letters appearing to swim and swap positions. I know a lot of very intelligent sufferers. Imbeciles who try to hide behind a legitimate physical impairment are living in denial, as well as ignorance, however.

He's not that old! <_<

Are you advocating an AI-driven NPC hero running around solving (perhaps even competing on the same) missions, as the PC? Interesting thought ... So the Chernobyl-type AI (or what they are attempting to pull-off, however successfully it eventually is): the emergent artificial life? I would be happy to see, as I've said before, an extra processor to do all the donkey work, like the GPU does for rendering. The IPU ...
