This is what is known as a vocal minority. Most people who go to a new SW film (read: the masses who make the blockbuster happen) wouldn't even know what episode number it is, let alone who wrote it. (And the vocal minority would be elbowing everyone out of the way to be first in line. )

Just a note to confirm your suspicions: you can get wireless speakers but they are expensive. The ones you want you can't afford (or you would have them already ). I can't wait for the next generation house, with plenum cabling around every room. (Sure plenum cabling is a pain, but you only need to do it once and then it's done. Then no more pantyline, er wires. )

How do you see Mossman as a blonde? I prefer brunettes, anyway (the eyes are important: windows to the soul: I like pretty light ones). :D Barney is a dude and Father Grigori knows where it's at, and that is rare in this day and age.

The UK patch is larger (c.16MB) than the US patch (c.12MB) (I think there is some of the larger resolution movies, but not sure). Certainly it shouldn't be causing this error. Also you might try moving / renaming the offending file in the KotOR directory and re-applying the patch (use the autopatch first).

Like the lipstick.

... and badger hunting is not what is sounds like, and roasting is a completely different thing altogether.

bingo

... But we agree on hot lesbians, and that's a start! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know of any demographic that doesn't like hot lesbians.

I don't see a problem. GL makes his movies, the books already exist, who is concerned? Worst case, the books represent an alternative universe. Big Deal. So a couple of authors' books are read by tens of people instead of hundreds, as in the case now. If they are smart, they'll secure the rights to novelise the new film. Twice the money for the same story. I also don't believe the diehard SW geeks are going to boycott a SW film just because it differs from a book plot written by someone else twenty years ago. And those that don't know the book plots (i.e. most of the billions of the potential audience) would be none the wiser. Summary: who cares? "

Well, we initially didn't know about the Power benefits; we were searching for meaning to our existence. Maybe Obsidian were just being deeper than I give them credit for: the answers we seek are gained from within, and those who we look to find them will be nothing but a disapointment in the end ... :D

If we are talking about good ideas for a new game, then I have to concur with these points (even though I quite liked Manaan). Neutral countries should be twice as dangerous as behind enemy lines. And there should be more of them, with as many allegiances as the Selkath judges. Bribery gets a lot of things done (people have to bribe others to look the other way in order for them to look the other way: it's a giant pyramid scheme.) Why are allies always allies? Why can't they change sides if they are bribed? Why can't there be more than just "us" and "them". My enemies enemy is my friend, and all that. (K2 tried this on Onderon, with very limited success.) Why no ethical dilemmas? Like save your party member or that planet of innocents ... or interrogations like Leia: "Tell us where your fleet is or we kill Carth." You get the idea. There is no need to have a "superman" PC. Just the right person in the wrong place at the wrong time (

Fixed.

... a lot like life, then. You can use spoiler tags; also you can talk about the first game with impunity. I wish you would, because this comment is too oblique for me ... The Krath Dargon gave you the black pearl. Kashyyk gave the Circlet of Saresh. Korriban gave the Solaris crystal. (Can't remember off hand what Manaan gave up ...) so greed-wise the spoils are about even. It was the boring attitude from Vrook et alia that gave me the squirts; at least they could have told you .

Who are you, Kevin McClorey ?

Mark Hamill played a private in the Sam Fuller WWII film called The Big Red One. His character's name was Griff. :D

The secret is to eat it while the meal is still hot. Once the meal cools, the chillis paradoxically taste hotter. I've had those shots of vodka marinated in chillis for months. Great for clearing nasal congestion.

I liked it for it's "philosophical mumbo jumbo" .. which is why I think the sequals are better, they do a better job in fleshing out the universe and idea of the film .. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm, I thought the philosohpical merits of the sequels were far inferior to the original. The first film was pregnant with inspiration, which might have been expanded upon (or not): the hints merely made you ask questions -- which is all philosophy can do, really. The sequels seemed to be-labour the point; to be underlining the same concepts without adding anything. Might as well have had an echo, for all the good the twaddling on about philosophy did -- sort of pseudo-meta-philosophy. "Do we depend on the machines, or they us?" Huh? Horsefeathers. About as valid as the conversation the "Americans" have at dinner in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. The whole matrix concept swung on the existential axis that the world was truly an illusion, a virtual world created for some sinister purpose. A perfect geek conspiracy. The sequels were just action films. And that lame Neo-as-Christ ending, puh-leeze -- it screams "I don't know how to end the story".

Yeah, it was the Mary II that threw me. William (III) of Orange -- haven't heard that name since high school. I read Nathaniel's Nutmeg last year (or the year before) -- that was an eye-opener. (In my experience English speakers generally don't know much about the Dutch East Indies ... probably don't want to highlight the tragic performance wrt health, military, trade, politics and exploration. " )

I don't see how you stop being Revan just because you suddenly get some extra memories. It doesn't come out of the computer and change *you*, you are still the one playing the game, making the choices. What's the difference to being told at the beginning or the middle of the game? It's just a bit of backstory. When you asked your parents where you were born, did it change who you were when they told you? So far you are making zero sense.

That is a fundamental plot in a lot of Sci-Fi: e.g. Blade Runner and Total Recall.

Thanks.

I think a radical re-structuring is required to prevent a revolution. Micropayments, which would require a new technology: virtual money Virtual Money would be based on encryption of the IP; the (time-limited) key being given for a fee; using micro-payments (tiny fractions of pennies). It needs to be decentralized (no way are you going to have some Ministry of Free Information that oversees every transaction) and automatic. I have no problem paying for someone else's idea, as long as it is reasonable and convenient. Prohibition doesn't work. History proves that.

What's IE again?

Not at all. You are still you. And you are Revan. You just don't remember what happened before the start of the game. One day, when you are legally permitted to drink the liquor of the devil, you may come across a situation where someone doesn't remember what they did the night before, during a large imbibing session. Does this mean they wren't there? Does this mean that it wasn't them? Does this mean that it didn't happen? (These are philosophical dilemmas and your answers may vary.) I think most people would agree that despite the memory loss, Revan is Revan is you.

Nice Jar Jar impersonation, except I think he would have said "mesa shows"
