Doing? I've got a diploma on my wall that says I should know the answer to this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Debits on the left ... no, credits on the right ... no debits on the right ... damn, I always get that mixed up! " (I blame the international banking system; just because they all write their financial information from their perspectives, instead of the customers, all our debits and credits are backwards and upsidedown ...)

His lack of a firm grasp of reality continues to amaze and annoy me. He is only making animated films because he hates actors, because they interpret the garbage scripts he writes in ways that he has not considered. I only hope the most memorable legacy of this foray into animation is stellar VO. If he manages to get that right, then there is hope for gaming in the short term.

Because GL thinks that it looks pretty to have blaster bolts? Actually, I have never come across the definition of a blaster bolt before, which is why I ask. I always assumed it was some sort of laser / maser or possibly plasma. Considering that GL has veto on all design issues, and also considering there is sound in every space battle ( ), I don't hold the films up as templates for scientific sampling ...

Sawyer is a Jonah! j/k Guys, I think you are overlooking the fact that some ludicrous percentage of games projects and development companies go belly-up in the aquarium (60%?) It's not one person's fault. (Well, that guy over there who only buys console games; him, the one who's picking his nose

It can be. Just because there is a general trend to simplify the interface to three buttons, doesn't mean it has to be that way. And the PC comes with a 110-key keyboard included.

The Black Spot!

Um, aren't you doing an accounting degree? Shouldn't you know who was ripped off ..?

I think your thinking of sliders, but you got the concept wrong <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, Sliders was a nineties series; there was a much earlier one (seventies? early eighties?) and it was about a boat of shipwrecked people who get stuck in the Bermuda Triangle. The dude with the ray gun (he stole it from some alien early on, and it was the only weapon that they had, then they all got split up as well) looked like John Hurt (may have even been him).

The Matrix is a core analogue for the TOMBS system; you should watch the first film (I believe it is a classic), because it will help you to grok the various TOMBS milieux ...

Depends on the country: Australia has zero tax on software (or it did last time I was there), and hardware depends on the category (tvs being luxury 40%, iirc). You buy that stuff? I thought you just were on good terms with the dude in the charity shop ...

Probably has a similar probabilty of success.

Just do a Jedi jump (like Obi-Wan) and Go-go-gadget-legs outa there before the bullets come your way! If the blaster is accelerating coalesced super-heated particles in energy form, what velocity (in a vacuum and standard galactic atmosphere) does the particulate (?) / wave matter / energy stuff speed at? Surely it must be light speedish?

Ebay = bad. I refuse to finance imbeciles who think they can bunk off working for the rest of their lives by flogging crap that no-one wants at prices that no-one pays to people who no-one knows ...

See! Thief! :darque: :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you'll be claiming building-scale demonlition traps and Rambowsque traps were your ideas, next. It's okay, let it go! There is no shame in having the same good idea as me. (No-one who can develop the next game is ever going to see these scribbles, anyway. :D)

Dave Maldonado, StarCraft: Ghost Senior Game Designer :D Depends what you infer from "finished" ... "

Just because you were the last to mention it doesn't mean you were the first. I wouldn't mind that scenario because it would rejuvenate the character and combat models. Also, I'd like to set Ramboesque traps that cut Jedi into little bits. (Why don't mines blow off the legs of people? There should be a lot legless ex-combatants around, just look at the results of extensive minefields in the Developing World ... )

If it's possible for a Jedi to deflect a beam of laser light from a blaster (), then it shouldn't be too difficult to time the sweep of a lightsabre to vaporise the shrapnel cloud of a shotgun. I guess. Can't the Jedi use some sort of Force Wall to protect themselves from forces such as blasts, falling and crushing damage? The easiest way to get a Jedi is meta-combat: drug them and/or poison them ...

Except one or both of them are dead. You're forgetting about the plot twist. About half-way through the game, the PC bumps their head, and starts to remember visions in their dreams ... (stop me if you've heard this one) ...

Yeah, there were a couple of retarded Jedi in AotC who got nailed in the arena. (There's no way for Force Sensitivty to compensate for imbecility.) Still, all things said and done, I'd rather be a Jedi than a Jango. (Even if you do die, you get to be a blue glowie!)

Shhh! You'll wake JK5! :ph34r:

Why wouldn't a lightsabre deflect the fragment hail of a twelve gauge? (Granted point-blank range means the lightsabre isn't in play.) Plasma should boil lead, shouldn't it? (Iron requires 4000

Hah. :D Neither one is a virus. They are quite similar characters, actually. Especially in the third film, where , sort of. (Anyone that can decipher all of the out-house-pit-contents-like dump of plot scraps has more patience than me.

Wow, that's amazing! Did you follow the links on that page you linked to? Truly can't wait to get to the end of that!

Well, the way LA has created the universe, you'd be toast against a Jedi opponent ...
