That reminds me of my boxing coach in Varsity; he was always good for a story. He recounted once that he had tried using a guard whereby he leant his fists on his forehead (if any of you have ever boxed, you will know that one of the most difficult things to do is keep your guard up

Sometimes I think you're doing it on purpose, because you actually are using the exact opposite of the correct idiom, which means there is method to your madness ...

You are practically neighbours ...

(Most sequels are worse, though.) On that note, how about: KotOR2: The Wrath of Fans ?

Not in Way Off-Topic, he's not ... Now if only you would use decipherable spelling and grammar, then the others might be able to read as fast as you ...

Pazaak would probably be more interesting if there was a mutliplayer version (I do not mean playing with another human player). What I mean is having a variation that is somewhat like Texas Hold 'Em in that there are several players at the table at one time, each with full voice over. that would help create a more casino-like feel. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How would that work, though? In a casino, all the players play a single dealer. Even more obscure blackjack-type games, like Seven-and-a-Half, rely on a set dealer (who keeps the deal until beaten or twice through the deck), and the dealer has an advantage. Poker might work, but then again, I wonder how much of a betting game can be included without affecting the rating ...

... Alien

I think the Boy George episode wins the "best surreal moment in modern tv" award ...

Have you played it?

The antidote is Rome: Total War.

You do realise that these suggestions have even less chance of being acknowledged than the ones in the legitimate thread, created by the moderators, for this, don't you?

I will appraise it through other means, such as reviews from trusted sources, or purchasing it from the store where I have a loyalty membership, so that I can return it within ten days should I not like it. Anyway, why are you asking that? What's that got to do with your original question?

So? I won't buy it, then, will I?

But why? Don't you have a video card that is nVidia or ATi ?

Look at the title of thread Mr. Wiggin (plus Baywatch started in 1989 ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How do you know so much about swallows, Launchie ?

I think those elements make us unique individuals, but not necessarily examples of individualism. No one else is like me, but I am like everybody else: physically distinct, but socially and morally bound to what is written and considered the norm. My life is my own, but my own life falls into the cracks that others' lifes often do. I don't believe I am living for myself, and I doubt I ever will. I find myself doing things I do not want to get things I don't think I particularly need and to please people I don't like at all, hate or am afraid of letting down (if they haven't let me down in the first place, that is). Am I really that different from others? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm, you sound like an individual that is constrained by the limits imposed in a society. That still doesn't preclude individualism, however. The probablility is that an individual will act in accordance with their own interests in the society, but that is still no guarantee: people still go "postal", once some internal reference threhold is triggered. And how do you define yourself, the "I"? I'll drudge up more unfounded and ignorant opinions just for the sake of conversation, and submit that no one truly exists as an individual because we must conform to a reality that does not allow us to grow or become our true selfs, actual individuals. We are limited by self-regulations, barred by laws, we are tied by social, political and moral conventions which most of the time neuter our perceptions and desires, and confine our abilities. When we do not place regulating powers in others' hands, we are regulating ourselves. Am I a true individual considering I don't allow myself to be more? To be truly individual? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Laws also provide a structure for positive growth. The greenhouse allows more plants to grown unmolested by pests and weather than without. Ah, wasted youth... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For all we know, the Existentialist Nihilist is right, and this universe ends when I die ...

I don't like the CD-check because I don't want to have all the CDs with me when I take my laptop around; I ALWAYS buy the retail game (ah, the power of an income). Also, I take issue with the ludicrous concept of "copy protection" provided by a CD in the drive. Especially with almost every drive being a read-write one, there is no impediment to copying the original anyway. (Or am I missing something? Have the publishers inested in some decent copy-protection?)

Not True, remember; Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (second movie) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, but it wasn't the second plot wise. It has to have "2" in the name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rambo, First Blood Part 2, Die Hard 2, LotR2: 2 Towers, Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan, ...

How bloody difficult is it to mail "Build Fleet in Bur" ?

Baley, haven't you sent in your build instructions yet?

Looks better. I like the idea of a neutral "island" in the middle of the map, though (like Switzerland in the standard game).

Why do you want a generic one? Do you mean one that isn't a specific nVidia or ATi ?

Does that include the Conscientious Objector combatant type, or is that in the next sequel ...?
