... morituri te salutant I'm all in favour of anything that helps with immersion. It is more of an oversight than anything else; an extra adjectival clause here and there is no burden to the script-writers. Oh, and I too like the smoke off a burning wood fire. I suppose there must be an index of attractiveness for odours; certainly I know that the amount of Sulphur compounds in a substance negatively affects the attractiveness. (H2SO4, Hydrogen Suphide

Are the Sith and Dark FSes "lost Jedi", too?

Is it a boy or a girl?

That's only one philosophy. For example, computer monitors (not being very good at yellow) used Red Green and Blue.

Just like the three-stripe adidas tracksuit tops, which were the height of naff in the eighties ...

I debted where to put the apostrophe, and I decided that it made the most syntactic sense (even if the aesthetics sucked) was the first non-represented letter of the new contraction. I think the only other way to spell the word would be to leave out the apostrophe altogether, thus: "gunna". :Darque:

How many different colours are there? (That's a rhetorical question, btw: the actual number of hues is not really up for debate, more the limited exposure of the forumites to said tints.)

It's not a blinking competition. Shrink it, you are being very rude to the rest of the forum members. I don't want to have to ban ALL signatures, but I shall do so that I don't have to see your bloody artwork. Have a link to it or something else. Thanks.

Wasabi is good.

Holes, smoles. What's another little hole g'unna do to you?

But the Drop Bear is real ... don't let one hear you dissing it! :ph34r:

Thanks!

Stop trolling! There is no reason to prevent the construction of a two

Are you the Emperor of China?

I wore Dunlop Volleys for the first two years of uni.

It's a prototype. Boy, everyone's a critic. (No wonder scientists get mad.)

You forgot the most vicious of all bears: the Drop Bear!

Interesting reading, to be sure. I always thought Yasser Arafat and the PLO, shady and alleged links to Black September and direct links with groups such as Hamas were the real instigators of modern, leaderless terrorism. Then again, this is not an area that I am expert in. PS: Fedayeen

That's it! It belongs to the penguins! Problem solved. We can just organise a democratic referendum and the penguins can vote... Hang on a second. Penguins? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd like to see penguins vote, that'll be kinda cute. :D Edit: Polar bears, penguins, whatever. Both are somewhat cuddly. ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know about you, but I'd rather be attacked by a mob of penguins than ONE Polar BEAR.

That was a software error! (Okay, it was second-hand, and it had just undergone a complete re-fit, which included an OS upgrade ...) Actually, didn't a sailor die from smoke inhalation?

The left guy looks like his portrait was made out of text characters, like the early internet (pre-web) ascii art ...

It doesn't need to be completely machine generated, for a start. You've heard of sampling, right? It is trivial to sample a voice and change the scale from treble to bass, for example. What I'm advocating is not as simple, for sure, but it certainly isn't as difficult as you are making out. I maintain that the main reason the VO is such a cumbersome process, is the nature of the production and the innate procedure followed by the developers: they are just adding a post-coding VO phase to the overall production. Re-thinking the development methodology is the main way to drag a quondam cottage industry process into the automation age. (I know, I did a thesis on it.)

Can't argue with that. I agree character development is imperative: after all, that's the best way to inveigle the player into the game world, isn't it? Co-opt the player into the character development, via ethical choices? Seems pretty straight forward, to me: an Open Mis
