metadigital

Ah, I just read this (vide sub) in Russell's History of Western Philosophy: Bertram also covers some interesting ground regarding the metaphysics of Plotinus that have been transplanted into Christianity, namely a Holy Trinity of The One, Spirit and Soul (distinct from the Christian Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit); these three are not equal, the One is supreme, Spirit comes next and Soul. So why did God create the universe? Maybe he was lonely? PS What did you think of The Prophet?

Today I would like a computer game that takes the player through the history of the civilized world.

Medkits ARE magic. They use Koltor!

I tried the whole "Jump on the dragon's back to attack him" thing once in PnP. The dragon just rolled over and I died. ^ Trap for young dragon-jumping players.

Is that a water-pipe on the table in the background? Also, I really must get this game.

The patches don't add 10GB to the game installation, at worst they uncompress temporarily into a larger area on the harddrive. I have the latest patch installed, and my NwN2 folder takes up 5.46 GB (5,871,087,994 bytes) on disk. I'm not sure why you are having such trouble with the download, unless you have less than a workable amount of space on your main harddrive (notionally C:\), i.e. less than a couple of GB, which will impede Windows from working properly. The game will be shipped as version 1.0, and the online update process will patch the game to the latest version.

*tangent alert* I lost all respect for Greenpeace when the Paul Watson, a co-founder, left after they tried to ban Chlorine. "Isn't that an element of the periodic table?"

I'm sure the Old Republic would be glad to knight them all, collectively.

Not necessarily. Try running the game in XP emulation.

Might have more luck in Skeeter's Junkyard ... FWIIW I can't diagnose a cause from your description. What is your hardware setup? Specifically GPU ... then it would be handy to know your OS and driver levels.

I see this as so wrong. In cRPGs, the PC is the leader. In PnP, the 'leader' can be anyone the group chooses to follow. Again, I think you're focusing too much on stats. There's no such thing as a 'gimp character that only comes out during fights.' The character is always there. Maybe half her face was mauled bear, she bathes once a month, and she only speaks in monosylables and snarls (which would give you far less than 8 charisma), but she most assuredly has a presence and can influence the entire party. Leadership is based on personalities within the group and the situation. The idea that can guess before hand who will be leader based on one stat is, I think, ridiculous. That's the definition of charisma. You may argue that there a broader measure is required / optimal, but technically a character with low charisma cannot lead a group ... perhaps she might be able to threaten, bribe or extort a group to do as she wishes, but they will only voluntarily follow based on their reaction to her charisma. Yes, players' innate characteristics (and their supernatural knowledge of their PnP characters' world) do affect the interactions ...

Now we need a picture of that!

Are you still talking about chocolate?

Oh sure, you'll willingly credit his building your sig, but you never mention that cast-iron mega suit you jet about in. That suit is for crime-fighting, not general education. And a thankyou.

Yeah, that's derived from Slavic myths. Not that I know anything about it. Interestingly, the Pelasgians (Pelargi, 'Storks', probably their sacred bird, originally from Palestine, or Canaan, c.3500BC), or pre-Hellenic Greeks (Gr

I wasn't implying that you didn't ... I was trying to expand for the other readers.

I haven't playing any NwN2 multiplayer, but from mkreku's topic recently it seemed that the interface was not optimized ... in that if a dialog was triggered by one PC, for example, all the PCs were prevented from all actions (even inventory management) until the dialog had passed. Is this the case? Is it intentional? Is it possible to improve?

Maybe it's an ironic post-modern deconstruction of the RPG genre?

Hee hee, pick the artist from their posting style ... in this case a penchant for atypical font colours, like #2E8B57. On a more serious note, zombies are an essential but dangerous element of game life. Remember, children, if you see one don't pick it up but instead run and tell a chainsaw wielding adult.

TBH it was a poor plan, liable to fail.

I think Jesus would be Belgian chocolate, not the inferior British vegelate. There would be a second coming if someone tried to use US chocolate.

Because you are exaggerating an aspect capitalism in order to make it appear absurd. This statement: is actually true, despite that you framed it so as to discredit it. Because there aren't any sweatshops in Western democracies: we have minimum wage and Unions (and their political parties, like the Labour Party in Westminster governments), so China would enjoy the same benefits.

I see you have not seen Alien Versus Predator. Oh, I did. I just meant...don't combine them to form a single entity. That's just...let's not go there. Then you didn't see the last scene from that film.

pooper, party
