Before The Big Bang!
I don't want to start a religious flame war, so I will just leave it. (My comment was based on the fact that there is not sufficient evidence to categorically disprove Muhammed, unlike those prophets unfortunate enough to ply their trade more recently.) If your pineal gland tells you you have a direct bat-phone to god, good for you! I have no such direct link to any God-like being, unless such a: God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. Furthermore: As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd. (All quotes from Voltaire.)

Uwe Bol going postal.
Uwe Bol sounds like a contemporary version of Ed Wood.

Not bad, which games did you get? Seriously I think people too fixated on prices for consoles and games. We could spend twice the price of a console (

Traps in RPGs
Uhm.. yes. How do you guys keep all those weird names in memory? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As previously mentioned, Rancor was big thing that nearly ate Luke in RotJ; Taris was the first planet in K1. I just threw loads of grenades at the big beast: some of the badder ones took off 20 HP, while most were just 10 HP. (I don't generally use grenades at all, so I have a few available: I think I had to buy a couple of plasma grenades for that conflict though: party screen, return to flat, go to the vendor, buy the munitions, party screen and return, bingo!)

Volourn's NWN Module
So Volourn should do nothing whilst waiting for greatness to walk up and knock on the door?

To say I have grave reservations and I am acutely skeptical of Tennant would be an unnecessary understatement. I am very pleased with Russell T Davies' re-imagining of the series, from the 45 minute episode or two stories with the overarching theme for the series (Bad Wolf), to the re-invention of the characters and their roles. I am not so sure I like the subtle sexual tensions and flirting between the Doctor and his companions, though ... All in all, great stuff! ("I'm going to rescue her, kill you all and save the universe." "But you don't have a plan." "Yes, I know, and it worries you enormously, doesn't it!" :D ) I am a little concerned with Billy Piper (there were rumours that she planned to quit and try her luck in Hollywood -- Haha! Fat chance!), although I agree the new programme needs some continuity. (I thought for a moment last week she had actually been disintergrated ... )

What are you reading?
Scarily enough, I've read some of that literature. My god its complex and generally written by a geek whose grasp of English is so turbid that I end up torpid ... but I'm sure it will pay dividens for you ultimately. That's the name of Ripley's ship in Alien ...

Before The Big Bang!
[2]Well. Newton's laws are once regarded as the eventual theory in physics, but when science advanced and new experimental methods become available, quantum mechanics becomes the theory that outdated Newton's laws. It doesn't mean we can no longer believe in science. I am simply saying that science updates itself. [3]I am simply comparing how we practice religion and science, not the actual practice themselves. They both require openmindedness is all I am saying. Fanatism in any practice is evil. Well, except Kotor of course. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. In an effort to prevent this thread from being derailed, I shall keep my opinions about religion to myself, but I certainly treat anybody who says they have a direct line to God with the most skepticism I can: and that is quite considerable ... 2. Have you studied physics at all? You are coming across as an Arts bigot; someone who gives credence to the wildest non-scientific comments in a misguided "democratic" effort to give everyone a say. Science is not one person's view on anything, it is the culmination of humankind's combined efforts to observe patterns in the material universe. If you look at the famous Albert Einstein equation E = mc

No wonder he's so cantankerous, he's got 'roid rage ... look at those arms! If he isn't mainlining 20cc a week then I'm not looking at him ... who was that Mr Universe guy that dropped dead a week after his last competition with total renal shutdown? "They" said his liver glowed in the dark ... a couple fo years ago anyone remember?

What? When new prophets arrive? Are you a Mormon, or something? The last prophet that hasn't been discredited was Mohammed. Secondly, your premise is totally flawed. To compare prophets who claim to speak the word of God with those scientists who work to discover the meaning of the universe by endless toil and ingenuity is like comparing a surfer to a shipwright. I know who I'd rather buy a boat from.

KOTOR III Poll
Shame there is no such thing as the PC then isnt it. Love to see what a $300 PC would score <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I might concede that it was a little biased (what the PC Format?) ... interesting that the opinion expressed basically mirrors that here: The Xbox 360 512MB 700MHz DDR3 shared between ATI 500MHz & triple core 3.2GHz (2 hw threads / core) The PS3 256MB Cell 8-core simultaneous threads, with nVidia 256MB 550MHz DDR3 XBox 720p and 1080i (theoretical resolution of 1920x1080) PS3 1080p standard (HDTV top spec) It's two crucial aspects, IMO: Xbox shared 512MB RAM for CPU and ATI (versus PS3 dedicated 256MB each CPU nVidia) PS3 multi-core processor ⇒ steep learning curve for devs
