The English haven't won at "their own" sports since they invented them.

Here. General advice to novice: 1. Lurk before posting. Read as much as possible, like FAQs. (Congratulations, you just asked THE most often asked question on these fora.) 2. Search before posting. 3. If it's the first thing you have thought of, about seven thousand people thought of it first.

I don't care to play the 35+ hours needed to see if he/she is telling the truth so can anybody corroborate the story. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're familiar with the term "hoax" aren't you?

Well, it seems I have some reading ahead, then. I'll go off and peruse the material. Thanks.

I tried, there is a "No Returns" policy. Still, we are free to make any customisations we like ...

... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um, I don't give a tinker's cuss about Floridian law, because it is irrelevant to those of us who do not live within Florida, or indeed even the U.S. Sounds like he sent you email in part of a mass-mail-out; I wonder if that falls foul of the spam laws?

Information WANTS to be FREE!

I agree there, i have a gut feeling though, that K3 (if its ever developed) will have absolutely nothing to do with the two previous games until the climax of the story. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And based on the level of idiocy displayed herein, that can only be a good thing.

You are completely ignoring the blatant contradictions written in the Bible. Or is that down to the infallibility of man, interpreting the sacred word of your God? I hate arguing with Christians, because most of them are too stupid to recognise when they are wrong. I have nothing against faith; but blind faith is for idiots. You are an idiot.

You are actively discriminating against them, you are a bigot. Read what you just wrote, and replace the homosexual references with racial ones: you wouldn't dare post that, would you? (Or would you?)

Since I'm sure you had me in mind, I'll answer this for you. Well, when you believe a 2000 year-old book is divinely inspired, then yes you do tend to obey what it says. Besides, if it's okay for a man to love a man (and I mean passion love, not brotherly love), then would you say it's okay for a man (or woman) of mature age to love a young boy or girl? Michael Jackson would certainly agree. Are you seriously comparing Homosexuality to Pedophilia? Are you aware of the difference between two adults having consensual sex, and one adult having sex with someone who does not have the ability to consent? If it's okay for a man to love (and in this case I mean love in the having sex sense) a woman, then would you say it's okay for a man (or woman) to love another man or woman against their will? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> [1]Many gay people end up going straight. Some people might think they're gay or straight, only to turn out not being that way. Granted, it's not that way for all of them. Of course it's not okay for someone to love someone against their will, but in this case, it's choosing the path that is more gratifying. [2]@ Lucius: If you believe in God and that God is eternal and that the Bible is his/her/its word, then of course you would obey the entity that created the Earth. I am not a conservative Christian, I'm more moderate, but I still hold to many of the lessons taught by the Bible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. Great statistical analysis, there. You've convinced me! /sarcasm You sound like someone who has never even (knowlingly) met a "dirty, confused" homosexual. 2. You reek of uninformed bigotry, based on "divine guidance". Sounds like you are more fundamentalist than you even realise. Why don't you go out and walk a mile in their shoes, before casting that first stone, Mr Glasshouse?

Do you know if your influence with Visas drops, does Handmaiden start talking to you again?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No.

We will see!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What colour is the sky in Pollyannaland, MacLeod? Lollipop pink? You obviously suit your vocation very well, I'll give you that ...

Nope. I am a novice. (I shall skim the documentation provided by Ender and your good self, but I was thinking of playing a noble Sabbat ...)

Well, it was the end of their empire that was the final straw for the camel, and they never did recover ...

:"> It's been a while since I watched them. (I enjoy them in inverse proportion to their ordinal rank.)

So, these Sabbat are the "true Sith Vampires"? The ones that haven't been converted from human cattle? The ones that Mr Blade was not happy with in the eponymous films? :cool:

Funny, seems we all like this "my own" system best ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That could mean that the people who DM are control-freaks (I mean that in the nicest possible sense); certainly I always find ways and means to improve any setting given to me, whether it is IRL or a game ...

... is nearing completion and will be released soon on Steam. ... Let's just hope that Valve's definition of "soon" is wildly different to Obsidian-c

Don't you have amazon.com or ebay where you live? I had no trouble getting any of the old games (including both FOs and PS:T) through one or both of those mediums. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ever heard of credit cards? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can pay by cheque, too. Or banker's draft. (This assumes you have access to a bank, I know, but it becomes increasingly difficult to facilitate a transaction in the captialist system without access to capital ...)

Y'know, I hated that when I went to see it at the cinema upon its global release. Then Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage ended. And then a lot of the elements of the film seemed to take on another, more almost sinisterly art-immitating-life-imitating-art quality. I think the destruction of the marriage in Eyes Wide Shut had very clear echoes ( :D ) in the actors' real lives. In any case, after re-watching Clockwork Orange and 2001, I am convinced Kubrick should be given the benefit of the doubt. I think we can safely assume the meat of the topic is "how to make a great game". The latter is might appear more pertinent (but we may yet pick them up in other threads, who knows?); I wuld contend that we haven't finished wringing out the two in relation to each other, yet. Just from a personal viewpoint, I would be interested in a SF setting for a game (just because that is what I find the most interesting of the versatile story vehicles). That said, I seem to be surrounded by similarly-appreciative people, considering the popularity of Fallout, etc. There have been numerous stories converted to film and games, sometimes in several incarnations. (There are something in the order of 23 Star Trek games, for example: certainly the last two were identical in plot.) As long as the story is a "good" one, the gameplay translation of that story seems to be critical, and what we seem to be discussing here, methinks. Exactly. That coarse gameplay-area model was fine for basic, early generational games. It is now just archaic and completely transparent to the latest generational gamers (that includes those of us who have lived through the preceeding generations ).

It's nice to discuss issues with like minded people.
