Because this topic is boring, and no power in the 'Verse can change that. Incidentally, the relative power of the interactions at mass-energies below 100GeV (10^11eV), say at or near 1GeV, are: [*]EM = 1/137 (for those of you interested, it is the inverse square law applied to surface of a sphere radiating from a given point)

You should try going out with less sight-challenged girls: she kept missing your mouth by the radius of your head!

... It might keep overpopulation under control ... "

Not knowing anything about your particular card, I will tell you that it has nothing to do with the Video RAM (though this can be a useful way to compare cards, it is by no means perfect) and everything to do with vertex and pixel shaders and ROPs.

Simply commenting on the currently held hypothesis that all the interactions (once called forces, now that is out of favour) appear to unify at higher energy states. "Giving" energy (and remember from Einstein's famous equation E=mc

Curses, Volo: you and your spam-blasting campaign for more dwarves!!11!1one!! No complaints about having fewer, more interesting and detailed characters. One of Many sounds like a member of a hive, or some conglomerated mind (like Seven-of-Nine).

All you are saying is that the innate human interaction of societies will out, even in an artificial construct (ha ha: matrix) like a MMORPG. Which is hardly a rant. You are more ranting (if at all, and it's more a British cousin to a rant, a polite almost-finger-pointing-type, stern-look, complaints-department-where-you-aren't-sure-you-will-get-your-money-back-and-you-might-settle-for-a-replacement sort of commentary) about gamers who have a knee-jerk dislike for the MMORPG. Perhaps if the WoW designers added some more opportunities for PnP interaction, I'm getting from your statement, then the game would raise to the next level, towards a verisimilitude of our reality. THAT is brilliant, and a very good point; of all the commentaries on Massively Multiplayer Online games, I don't recall anyone stating this quite so eloquently (if at all). Excerrent. (Condolences.) Now, if only we could implement this ...

A colourist! (You are forgetting the ever-growing Pink Dollar market segment, too. )

I see no problem with actual, bodily castration.

Well, I am sooooo pleased that I have Volo's sacred permission to dislike clerics.

I've never even heard of your graphics card, and it's an integrated one. It doesn't matter if "other games" run well, it's below the minimum spec for the KotOR engine, so (sur-PRISE!) it doesn't work.

It is not illegal (in all countries). It will void your warranty.

One of the perks of being a moderator is that you can have Multiple Alts. Which would just be 'Alts' without the 'Multiple'. What if I have no alts? Does that mean I just have multiples?

Someone must really like Queen Amidala. There's no accounting for taste.

Hmmm, seems a little extreme, having to kill everyone to rediscover the roots of a belief ... still, maybe the Renaissance might have been better killing every faith leader, so that the subsequent ones might learn anew what their faiths stood for, rather than just having the tame Germanic Reformation and Spanish Counter Reformation ... " Sure it does, if there is some medium for the radiated waves to travel through. Granted, if the water falls in a vacuum, then it's silent (though electromagnetic radiation certainly needs no medium), but in an atmosphere, well, the sound certainly travels, even if there's no-one there to hear it ...

No need to dive in yet, as there aren't any DX10 games ... and every month gives me a discount on existing tech, and the opportunity for some new stuff (like mobos, etc, even if not the headlining GPU) to be superceded with better kit (and existing kit to be discounted even further). Also, I have some other RL considerations to deal with at the moment. Hence why I said the "next thing you'll be telling me" and not "ALSO YOU ARE TELLING ME". I dislike the idea that a cleric has "divine" magic, and that it is easier to get and (almost) as powerful as arcane magic, and they don't have to even memorise a spell beforehand. If you have to categorise my dislike, you would do worse than classify it as a magic-user's disdain for the cleric. (But I still dislike clerics as a general rule, anyway. So there.)

I stopped playing when Wonder Boy became an outmoded and retired machine.

That kinda defeats the purpose ...

About five-to-ten exposures, over several weeks (no more than four).

Dunno, but I hear he likes sake ...

Well, you'll be the one spending the most time looking at them ...

There's a book?

Return to Return to Monkey Island!

Are you being bigoted against my personal game-playing prejudices? Next thing you'll be telling me is that I'm not "allowed" to dislike playing as evil, or perhaps that I "must" like a particular NPC, or even that I "have to" enjoy compulsory companions, like Neeshka ... I never used to play Paladins at all, as the idea of the character just annoyed me. Then I realized that I was typically playing Lawful Good characters, anyway. So I surmounted my enmity for being pigeonholed (as an alignment, in this case) and played a few. Now I play them quite often.
