  1. You can just keep cycling through them all, if you kill 'em fast enough and have the configuration set appropriately ...
  2. Is that a bone fide miracle, or some sort of synchronicity, Eldar? "
  3. Apparently, reading comprehension is optional in school these days.
  4. You certainly are a mutant-magnet, aren't you Launchie? "
  5. No, it's the metaphorical base from which the plots are built. The plot floors.
  6. Now that one worked. Plusgood.
  7. But it could be the REAL KotOR2, rather than KotOR 1.5 ...
  8. That's everyone, then. (Except Baley, who is the real haXx0rz0rz)
  9. Oh, I thought it stood for spam ...
  10. The shields did take damage, I remember one arc of the shield steadily and repeatedly flashing red, and a beeping noise, meaning that the shield was imminently going to collapse or had done so in that area ... though I was never in any actual danger ...
  11. Doesn't give the same tongue-rolling connotation, that can be seen as analogous to the lip curling growl of a vicious dog intimdation impersonation ...
  12. I remember Nicole Kidman's acting debut series, the Edison Twins. Ender, that's over the top! Nothing can make your puns look good.
  13. Start a movement now! (Not bowel.)
  14. Thanks, but it's still cool the way you've managed to shrink the scene down to 64x64 ... mine's just a static picture.
  15. It certainly wasn't their due to their singing prowess. Okay, I don't have a large opinion either way wrt hoods (and masks); if it doesn't affect role-play then it's just cosmetic, and is a simple skin update (like many modders have already done, and in fact as Revan was clothed in K1). So it is a quick, cheap win. I'd be surprised if the devs of any future KotOR game, if there is to be one, wouldn't add this cosmetic flourish, simply because it would make so many little boys happy for no effort. Then again, maybe the devs would make the mistake of thinking that, because it is so easy, they might leave it till the last moment to add, and then run out of time in the dev cycle to actually put it in ... " I'm sure you could die on Peragus II, if you let the Sith in, and then died fighting them. (I used to let them all in, because you don't get any XP for killing them with the turret. Still, you'd have to be a bit of a gimp to die killing them, but it must be possible.)
  16. Wasn't there some auto-upgrading of exisiting units? (I.e. in the golden age?) Or am I thinking of some other game ... like Warcraft III
  17. There is certainly a lot of competition for doctoral positions at leading universities.
  18. Someone pointed out something neat at my University towards the end of the semester. I guess it's not uncommon for Microsoft to recruit people that do well in the programming challenges around the world. These challenges often involve programmers that are under a time crunch, and only really need to get something that works well enough to pass the test at the deadline, and perform it well enough that the judges approve EDIT: Doesn't Longhorn have 64-bit support? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes to 64 bit Longhorn. But, going on their current record, that's probably just the same 16 bit OS that Gates cobbled together from CP/M and then "created anew" with Windows NewTechnolgy. Micro$oft have a reputation for buying people to simply remove the competition from the marketplace: if all the (good) programmers are working for you, then the opposition can't build anything, even if those same programmers are doing theses on the physical limits of body tossing, as portrayed in modern FPS games.
  19. Who's the Pres? Ah, don't tell me: she is.
  20. Wow, spam to politics. This thread is looking up!
  21. I think Steve has a point, though, about government: it is a special case. Firstly, any jack-the-insurrectionist will use whatever the current flavour-of-the-month is to achieve his goal of supplanting the exiting power structure with him at the top. Secondly, it's not like you can keep a government system secret.
  22. I certainly am, can't you see my tongue firmly in my cheek? I am well aware of the catastrophic trauma caused by the Christian theologians and dogmatists throughout history. Nevertheless, the Norsemen who ruled before William the Conquerer was a illegitimate idea in Robert the Magnificent's mind conducted ceremonies whereby they did indeed get themselves into all sorts of states, culminating in the ritual killing of the horse or whatever.
