I wondering if they actually rolled dice to determine if their spells (lightning bolt and was that a cure wounds spell?) were successful.

Ideally, like Puck from Alpha Flight, but I'd probaly be lucky to get one who could juggle. I was forced into watching Gangs of New York this weekend and this movie was so bad I actually went blind in my left eye for about ten minutes. I'd usually take this time to rant about how Leo should just give up the whole "I can do accents" bit, but the real tragedy in this movie is Cameron Diaz. I'd go into a schpiel about it, but then I'd have to try and remember the movie again, if you've seen the movie then you would know my conundrum. Although I would be interest to hear Volo tell me why this movie is actually pretty good. See when I don't like a movie I quickly discontinue any memory of it. I've seen Gangs of New York probably about 3 - 4 times, why, because I either had no choice or my other choices sucked more...I barely remember anything from the movie except for the butcher dude and that dude getting clubbed to death, that was pretty cool but the movie failed when it came to actual story/themes/characters and all that jazz. Not to mention it was long as all hell, im tired of crap like that. Freakin bs lotr, no offense but sucked too. And no it's not attention span it's just not good film making unless you are really into lore and nerd stuff like that. The problem with the film is that it just had no point. It was just boring. Or was that because I just didn't feel any empathy towards the characters? Whatever the reason, I was expecting it to finish about forty minutes before it did, and hoping it would about an hour and a half before it did. And when it finally did finish, I couldn't understand why Scorsese choose to finish where he did.

I bet someone will buy the lot and sell the contents off individually, for more profit.

Just finished volume one of The Greek Myths (Robert Graves); now I'm taking a small break from the relentless immaturity of the pre-Hellenic cultures (can be quite exhausting after 400 pages, though it is one of the most important books I've read, I think). I'm re-reading (and taking notes and finishing, this time) Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy, now, and already (he wrote this a decade before Graves wrote his seminal work) the background I gleaned from my previous reading is paying off handsomely (including Persian Fire and The Spartans). I'm not sure I agree with a lot of what Russell has written, so far, though it is interesting to read his opinions. (He did win the Nobel Prize for this work.)

Depends on you. It is a niche (but growing) industry to build PCs, including from scratch. All you have to do is some small modifications. I'd recommend reading up on PC modding, though, I readCustom PC. Some people don't like to do any fiddling, not even installation of equipment. Others are happy to spend hours sanding with coarse and fine grades of wet-and-dry sandpaper in preparation for a primer and two-coat metallic paint job. I think you'd like it.

Yeah, that's called reconditioned equipment, and I'd take it (with the included warranty) over a blind secondhand purchase over eBay ... some components (like DVD drives) have a significant failure rate when new ... Also, you can lease to buy (at least here in the UK), e.g. a 36 month lease where you can keep the equipment after 18 months, so long as you take out another lease (for another piece of equipment).Which is pretty neat.

What about your X-Fi ... can you sandwich it in your motherboard with two 8800GTSs (... and a PhsX card ... ) ? C'mon, Bok, label your picture! :D

With 8 Charisma the character won't be winning any friends in a hurry.

Excerrent.

EA release a game every season. LucasArts have stated (search the forum for a link; I can't be bothered) that they will only be financing two games per year from now on. They've got a new Indiana Jones due out imminently, and they just released a Star Wars game moment ago.

A MMORPG:

Prepare for good times. I'm prepared for good times. Unfortunately I'm not having them as I'm lacking in a manual and don't know how to fecking jump Would you care to pass on some of your expert knowledge and teach a newbie how to do one of the most basic actions in the game? There's a tutorial at the beginning of the game. I'd advise that you do it, as it walks (and jumps!) you through all the controls. It's pretty fun (and quite difficult) on its own merits. You can also remap ALL of the controls to ANY key combination, using the main (Escape) menu. I'm busy playing a MMORPG ... "

The answer is simple. Get a new brother.

I don't think will be in it, regardless of whether Whedon is or not ...

Duelling banjos?

Um, that Bok is building C&C artifacts similar to his PC, i.e. so thirsty they need a dedicated power source ...

You sympathizer!

And the lack of games didn't make the case for you first?

What would his special power be?

It would be nice if we managed to give humans human rights.
