JediConsular7 is on school holidays until the end of this week, but swore black and blue that this would not be a problem (after an initial suspicious email frantic about the length of time for a turn ... ) thepixies just overslept (bit of a Baley syndrome going on there), and Natwark is just naughty.

Yeah, look at Gallipoli, the first invasion Mr Churchill planned. (To be fair, Omaha Beach was a duckshoot; not very nice for the US soldiers there.)

What are you saying ? :D

When I started combing it the other day, I did it like any other OCD doing a level grind ... here's another evil one ...

Step into my office and pull up a couch; now tell me when you started thinking about your mother when you were bedding your girlfriend ...

Ya had to be there, Mus?

I hadn't been there since university (they had pictures of Bikers after the gang massacres), and then I suddenly remembered it when the thread popped up the other day ... ... Still, it backs up Kaftan's earlier anecdote about eyes

Y'know, I t'ought I t'aw a water pipe.

Nice article.

So, is there a way to get them to play while you're playing the game or do I have ot watch them separately? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just downloaded it; the movies are packed and require DivX5+ codex, which (v.6) is a free download from divx.com. Is System Shock worth playing first? (System Shock 2 looks and sounds awesome!) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Looks like I found the answer to my question ... some fan opinions

Where?!

Ever get a response?

Ok, you're a poop.

I didn't build the fscking thing!

Since I have no real clue what you're trying to say in relation to what I was saying, I don't know. There is, IMO, a difference between the kind of decision making you make in games like RISK and roleplaying. Games like RISK, you're still 'yourself' - most people look at such games as 'what would I do' not 'what would Patton or Alexander do'. They are not immersed in the game-world in the sense that they are someone else. They are still themselves. When I play a PC game, RPG or not, I never feel as tho I am someone else. I am merely playing myself, using an avatar to represent myself as I march around the gameworld doing stuff. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, that's a totally seperate and indecipherable holy-war about acting: the Bruce Willis acting-as-Bruce-Willis-in-Every-Film-type acting, and the Johnny Depp chameleon-type acting. It is still roleplay (unless you really are a meglomaniac and do control a lot of armies ...), so there is an aspect of gaming that can be leveraged by the player.

Now who's being naive? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're insane, so unless you've read it, then your view doesn't count.

I think it's down to "know thine enemy", isn't it?

Jawas do not have insects on their faces. If they did, how come the insects do not cover their eyes? And how come you never see the insects leaving their face? They cannot stay there forever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't heard anyone mention the size of the insects, they might be the size of itty bitty fruit flies. They might be wingless, too. Just little burrowers.

You tell Steve that so he can get to sleep tonight ...

"... Chess and RISK and Monopoly etc. aren't roleplaying story oriented games ..." The games you mention may not be strictly story-oriented, but certainly there is a degree of roleplay (Chess is a wee bit more abstracted from the orginal battle and it therefore almost a sublime extrapolation of game law, and so we can probably leave that to one side, especially as I doubt a lot of video game players play chess ...) Is that what you meant?

Just started digging, and then one day he saw the end of his finger ...

No, that's a trilobyte.
