Oh no. I'm on to you. You want to wear their signitures. This does make me think that they should have a strore for stuff like this. Hey, maybe they do. I should check the front page.

Nope. I don't want the ink to run in my wash. Well, I guess they could use laundry markers. Actually, I really like the Obsidz folks and all, even though I don't feel like I know much about most of them, but I'd rather have the shirt than the signitures. I'm not putting it in a frame on my wall. I'm putting it on my body.

Interesting that some of us look at that and see the cool TV first, and others the title screen of the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. Some of us see BOTH. I'd like a t-shirt also. It makes sense to let us geeklings buy t-shirts. It's advertising, after all.

All that Perrier and only one San Pellegrino. I thought better of Obsidian entertainment.

baley already did the first report. You know, baley, I'd thought of doing a story report but nooooo, Eldar can't change formats that fast. So, here I am being jealous of your bold move. Rat bastard. Okay, we need to entrench this thread with more than one report or this thread will end up getting the ax. Pixies, write someone a song, pronto.

I'll do a review of you later, jorian. Even if someone gets to you first. :Eldar's wry grin icon:

Is there a place to download a demo of WoW?

I agree about the standardized attributes. I used to have fun with them, but then folks compained about the scores getting inflated and whatnot, mostly because I didn't really use much rhyme or reason. So, as a result, I created the standardized list. ...And hated it. With a passion. The only use for standardized attributes is to stroke someone's ego or hurt someone's feelings. Well, anyhow. It's all done now. Let Surreptishus' reign of terror begin! ALL HAIL SURREPTISHUS!

Of course freedom of speech is limited. The question is where we draw the line. Traditionally, the threshold has been quite high.

I'm 100% moderator approved, baby. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh heh. Another good one. Personally, I think it's a mistake to let someone's proclaimed sexual orientation insulate him from criticism for actions that would otherwise draw fire.

hahaha Classic post. What that you folks say? Pure GOLD!

I asked Surreptishus to start it in a PM, but I'll let you guys hash out the details. I'm going to ask Fionavar to close this one so it can remain pristine in the annals of the sandbox! hahahaha I think TOMBS will be well served by either of you starting the next installment.

I think Surreptishus should start it. It keeps it fresh and begins his TOMBS reign of terror!

For the time being, Jags will simply remain perfect. However, this thread has gone into the 51 page. I suggest we close it down and one of you monkies starts a volume 4 page.

I think you are neither ignorant nor stupid. However, the term West is commonly includes both the United States, Western Europe, and former Unite Kingdom colonies such as Canada and Australia.

The point is, even if it is distasteful, it's the right of a free press to post such material. The threshold for censorship should be quit high. Hell, I'm not Muslim and I find the material irritating, but I've got to accept that freedom of speech means letting other talk also. EDIT: I wrote this post in response to Ros.

That was pretty much my stance, my numbered friend.

Of course my views of what is distasteful and unwelcome are subjective. Hence, I siad that I thought it was distasteful. Even should we reach a consensus, the fundamental fact remains that the debate is centered on subjective viewpoints. That doesn't mean that we can't argue such views. That also doesn't mean we cannot reach a broad consensus. EDIT: I think we CAN reach broad consensus, but such a consensus is likely fleeting.

Is that the same thing as saying I'm crazy?! Huh? Huh? :D NWN2 sounds like it has some good ideas and I hope I'll enjoy every game I buy and that others do as well. Essentially, I hope every game I buy is a classic. ...But I'm probably dedicated also.

I'd be happy to see it hit the shelves. If we consider it a classic in ten years, that's just icing on the cake. :Eldar's dreaming of a classic NWN2 collector's edition on his shelf icon:

I think targetting Muhammad in a political cartoon is distasteful and unwelcome. I have seen similar cartoons target Jesus, God, and a whole slew of religious figures. Still, it is the hallmark of any democracy that it must countenance distasteful, unwelcome, or even destructive speech for fear of rendering meaningless the very idea that speech is free. I'm sad the other thread was closed. The debate was sharp and tempers ran high, but it was generally well argued on all sides. If the other thread is unlocked, then let this one sink. In the meantime, I was reading the other thread and I'd like to see the debate continue. Hopefully, with less hostility and rancor. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11097877/ The following comment should frighten anyone who believes in democracy.

Maybe I can get in on a game. If my schedule loosens up a bit, I think it could be fun.

So Fallout is the way to convince us that KotOR had perfectly good AI? After all, if you can reach the mark set by a ten year old game, you've achieved perfection! Seriously, the only thing that saved the combat in KotOR/KotOR 2 was that it was easy. I have to admit that KotOR 2 had marginally more difficult fights, but nothing as tough as what the designers crafted for the six headed beast or beast with two backs or whatever the hell Vol calls the controls for the infinity engine. Anyhow, the upshot is, we can get away with giving folks ranged weapons and making our guy melee. We can get away with taking advantage of the flaws in enemy AI. ...But that doesn't mean that combat was good in the KotOR games. I enjoyed both Fallout and KotOR, but Hades is entirely right in saying that the player lacked control. He is also entirely within his rights to say he does not prefer such an arrangement. He's also brave for telling us that he couldn't escape the werewolf in Bloodlines. Give Hades a break.

Not true <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If that's not the truth, what is?

Ah, please forgive me and thanks for the heads up, Hades. I meant KotOR. Dammit, I meant KotOR. I'm really on a roll this morning.
