Of course it exists ... you didn't go to Bond University, did you? You sound just like someone I used to play chess with ...

I'll let you off on the latter as a typographical transposition error, but the former was definitely a lack of due care and attention whilst publishing.

Random != challenging. Random is a cop-out for designing clever puzzles. Puzzles don't have to be physical, either. Most hacking nowadays is done via Social Engineering; similarly, engineering a NPCs reaction (completing some optional quests to impress a character, e.g. Mandalore on Dxun in K2) is a puzzle, too. Just a very, very basic one. Onderon waws a little more complex, in that the PC could "hack" the guards to undermine the Queen, but still there is a lot more than can be done.

I wanna play as a Kamino Jedi.

But when the dead rise from the grave because there isn't any room left in Hell, and the martians come to take our womenfolk for shoeleather and our oceans for spritzer mixers, I'll be there !

Good friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.

You'll understand IF ever someone points one at you or your loved ones.

You forgot to mention Eldar's crisis of moderation which eventually didn't dramatically affect the level of appurtenant colleagueship ... Yes, there are NEW MODS, and they are among us! :ph34r: Comes in real handy when someone is trying to kill you or your loved ones or the society you believe in ...

Invest in a good AV application before visiting download sites for either music or pr0n.

It is possible to create alternate new words for other languages; the Alliance Fran

Spellmar - 1 for Eldar. (Now we can more fully understand the latent enmity Eldar has previously demonstrated for the good Spellmar.) *Waits patiently for more didactic points*

Evil PCs should be able to kill entire planets.

I played it when it was just up to Ravenholm; boy it was fun (I played the endlessly cycling Ravenholm double scene so many times I could get through it in about a minute ...)

Why not? I wanna have fun doing exactly what I just told you off for doing!

Yes, if you are an epistemological existential empiricist (in extremis). ... Empiricists have traditionally denied that even these fields could be a priori knowledge. Two common arguments are that these sorts of knowledge can only be derived from experience (as John Stuart Mill argued), and that they do not constitute "real" knowledge (as David Hume argued). ... Existentialists do not need an external "god" to complete their Weltanschauung: ... Sartre's dictum, "Existence precedes and rules essence," is generally taken to mean that there is no pre-defined essence to humanity, except that which we make for ourselves. Since Sartrean existentialism does not acknowledge the existence of a god, or of any other determining principle, human beings are free to act as they choose ... If a person chooses to give into temptation, surely they are acting in a totally authoritarian manner over the corporeal demesne? Methodological skepticism behooves us to not insist on a priori knowledge, as the Rationalists do. ("... Descartes considered the knowledge of the self, or cogito ergo sum, to be a priori, because he thought that one needn't refer to past experience to consider one's own existence. ..."; whereas "... Existentialism conceives of Being itself as something that can only be understood through and in relation to these basic characteristics of human existence ... asserting instead that as conscious beings we always find ourselves already in a world, a prior context and history that is given to consciousness and in which it is situated, and that we cannot think away that world. It is inherent and indubitably linked to consciousness. In other words, the ultimate, certain, indubitable reality is not thinking consciousness but, according to Heidegger, 'being in the world'.", namely what is it to be?, the "... real essence or meaning, that is, its intelligibility for us ...", or Da Sein.) Soooooooooooooo, the individual's power is about all the power an individual needs to consider themselves a god ... What? What am I, the local librarian? Oh, I might do some googling later, I'm tired and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm off to sleepy bo-bos ...

The only Streetfighter I've seen was the original classic starring Charlie Bronson ...

Eldar, I will have to edit my TOMBS report for you. As a paid up member of the libertarian movement, I abhor your nannying interference. Blaming someone who feels like expressing themselves in a non-standard way for the greedy mercenary behaviours of "members" (used in the loosest sense I can muster) of society is wrong. It is also a brilliant way to create repressed tension that will boil over somewhere else. For all we know, this person could be a performance artist. No one has the right to walk up to anyone and commit assault and battery, just because they did something unpopular with their own property. That would be like me beating up on some poor Christian bookworms for reading the Bible with the intent to believe it. "

You obviously haven't witnessed high enough levels: go back and play again ... Sounds like the Original Pokemon Colloseum. Purify every single shadow Pokemon. Defeat all 100 trainers on mount battle and you got a Ho-Ho as a reward. Perhaps one of a more puzzle oriented nature would be the buried chambers in Ruby/Saphire where you got the regi's. Even had to translate brail for that one. Games could learn so much from Pokemon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> mkreku: AD REM. Paladin: I agree, as Pokemon seems to be a pure form of game theory, that all games either use or CAN use strategies and tactics straight out of the game. Before I got to this part, it sounded very anal and forced. But as an optional thing; well, it sounds cool. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *Moves closer to finding a Pokemon game that will run on some sort of PC emulation*
