Unlike the legendary baby Jesus, this doll of black baby Jesus wouldn't balance on my shoulder, so I had to settle for having him pinned near my shoulder. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like the high-five baby jesus is giving the world ...

When do we find out how crazy everyone else is?

Well, I guess you are making the distinction between coop and versus play. It seems that the versus facility is pretty well developed and integral to Chaos Theory, so I can't see that being left out in the sequel, but I haven't played it (or coop in the previous game) so I don't know much about it. There's not much word on it yet, either. Here's more Looks like something bad has happened, like his daughter's died, and Samuel hasn't taken it too well: I wouldn't want to be the insurance company holding this guys policy: 4 Oct 05. Today we announce Tom Clancy

... And I really must but SMAC.

See, all they needed was some new blood in the writing pool: there is no shotgun in Star Trek: that's brilliant, Darque!

I agree that was very irritating; one of the few areas where the sequel was actually inferior to the original game. It was easy to manage in the later parts of the game, however, as the Force points needed to cast all the protection spells were so negligible compared to the total available that I would just constantly recast all of them every few minutes (I was in constant Jedi Speed anyway). Just another casualty in the dumbing down effort to make the game more cross-platform independent.

Me too. Add in shamanism cue Blueberry, and you'd have a winner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. I didn't have time to elucidate fully at 7:37 am this morning but the whole Native American culture is ripe for exploitation, such that both the game genre and the culture may benefit mutually. There is a rich heritage, pantheon and social fabric on which to base several classes including all the bases: clerics (medicine men / shaman) fighters (braves / warriors, chieftains = ranger class) that can use all sorts of edge weapons and quivers full of arrows for their various bows, not to mention more exotic weapons, like boomerangs ninja sneak-up-and-flip-out-and-kill-everyoners (super-espionage agents of assassin class, without the alignment restriction) armed technologists (probably could use a Victorian Steam setting, similar to Arcanum) Doesn't need to be restricted to the US frontier, either; might just as well be in a different universe: even aliens might make an appearance! There is too much copycat-cut-and-paste in RPGs: too many orcs and blinking elves.

Just like Antony and Cleopatra ...

Kelvin.

It may be so now, but at the time it was cutting edge stuff. I think the current ailment is that they (all those involved) were a victim of their own success: they (ditto) started to take themselves a wee bit too seriously ... I mean take a look at the fan sites ... scary stuff :ph34r: ...

Agreed.

1906 Autumn has come before anyone has written a word!

Silly pointy-eared green creature, you must be reading too many journals in dim light. I was bringing the thread back on topic, with a synopsis for you.

Without Gene Roddenberry there would be no Star Wars, either. ST was cutting edge, with an African character in a major role and even the first interracial kiss EVER on broadcast media. Don't show your ignorance, it's boring.

... And your bonus question is: what was Mario's brother's name?

Star Trek is ALSO Space Opera.

So, that's three orders of hooded robes, a side order of customisable hilts and choreography all round? I'm very surprised at the sheer imagination and innovation shown in this, the thirteenth collection of aspirational notes. At least Darque went with the sabrewhip; I favour the nun-chucks, but those of you who have been reading from the beginning would know that several times over.

evolution 4TW! Survival of the fittest game to entertain us.

I think the meaning sought was for the occident, rather than specifically the period of the US frontiersmen.

Um, it is logarithmic.

Newsflash: graphics patch released next week.

Only with everything you have written about religion. Start with Genesis and work forward. 1. I didn't know it was lost. (Badump-tish!) 2. Did he find it, or is this why Odin hasn't been heard of since Christianity "converted" the Nordic heathens ...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. It was.. by your mum! (Ka-dish!) 2. He did find wisdom after his quests. I dont remeber if he learned from all of them or if it specificly was when he drank of the water in the spring of widom by the roots of Yggdrasil(which he had to sacrifice his eye to do) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. dang! And I thought all the problems were over after pandora ... 2. Sounds like a parable with a moral, kids ... remember don't drink to excess around stray bushes, you might lose an eye ..! ... A Christian charity is sending a film about the Christmas story to every primary school in Britain after hearing of a young boy who asked his teacher why Mary and Joseph had named their baby after a swear word. ...

Every time a mod has to discipline a poster for spamming (i.e. when it is annoying and deleterious to the thread and not informative and a fun tangent) then ten should be taken from the total.
