  1. The essay is finished!, after pulling an allnighter. Well, I did do a slight venture to a couple of bars during the wee hours, but that was just me being a student worth my salt.
  2. Kalmah - Alteration Are the changes in system meant to be done? How fas will proceed the process, slowly began?
  3. Preban any name that starts with 'money' or 'casino' or 'bets'.
  4. Jack was sending the emails, wasn't he?
  5. Sir Wanks-A-Lot The Riddler or The Artist Formerly Known As Nipa(SWALTROTAFKAN) - Duet II
  6. I promised myself to not listen to Curse of F
  7. Dude, you are no fun with your funny wordplays that my poor Finnish mind can't find snappy comebacks to. If Bungalow Bill is the wind then Me and My Monkey is the goddamn coriolis phenomenon. Beatles - I will
  8. Pffft, Happiness is a Warm Gun blows both of those out of water and spreads urine on their general direction. Beatles - Piggies
  9. Beatles - While my guitar gently sweeps - Blackbird Best song One of the best songs(all of them are grand) from the best album of all time.
  10. You need divine intervention to get a true resurrection, right? Raise dead on the other hand needs costly ingredients, but is gained by any cleric above 9nth level(with exceptions of course).
  11. How could they account to both you, who probably has the odd 20 years of D&D experience to make whatever encounter easy, and the casual gamer, who has most likely only played KOtOR and Diablo 2, in the same core rules difficulty? That's right, they can't. Face it, you are too well versed in the setting and the rules already.
  12. "Blue....no, yellaaaaarghhh!"
  13. Hahhahaa! "It's an fps/rpg-hybrid! No! It's first person action rpg!" That's gotta be the one of the oldest fights on the face of the Internet. I didn't like it in TTLG, I absolutely hated it in ISA boards and a year ago it was just stupid here. On Thief, I can understand where MN is coming from with his argument, even if it's a flawed one. He probably thinks that Thief differs enough from regular fps' with it's heavy focus on story and narrative and the relative lack of fireworks to not condone with the definitives of the fps genre. The sad thing is, a few years back I would have strongly agreed with him. Yes, it would be wrong to clump Thief together with such games as Skynet or Quake, or even the recent Far Cry, but the fps genre is so broad that it can easily include genre-bending games too. Sneaking and a store model don't make an rpg. Thief has absolutely nothing to do with them. Nothing.
  14. I've heard Bernard Bailyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution. [Harvard University Press, 1967] being credited before and I've used it somewhat to as a source(ripped version), but I'm sure you could find a more recent book. Wiki's article on the American Revolution has an extensive list of specialized studies(that also seems to hold Bailyn's book) which you should probably peruse.
  15. If you discount the mildly hilarious Christian connotations(like the American people as the chosen of God), it's alright. Worth a study anyway, since it had so remarkable effect on the minds of the colonists.
  16. Seeing that meta has HL2-base covered, Why is Thief more an action rpg than an fps? Of course you can argue about the nomer semantics(like replacing 'shooter' with 'sneaker'), but it pretty much has all the genre-defining features of an fps.
  17. Sadly, me too. I've also been reading some mre Chomsky and trying to come up with enough inspiration to start my novella.
  18. This is for the American Revolution expository essay, so I'm mainly reading his treatise on the idea of a 'contract' between the state and the people. I'm fairly sure I could answer your question - in a week. :D Considering that he's the first libertarian philosophist I've read(well, excluding a couple of Finnish ones), I find his thoughts very interesting. Oh, by the way, that OE Gallery Tenacious D track you posted - it's awesome.
  19. ...and still being online? I'm listening to coarse music and studying John Locke
  20. -Samurai Champloo, right? Am I the only one who thinks 54 years is a bit excessive?
  21. Well, Jade Empire also seemed very different from the bullying of KotOR's evil choices in the hype stage.
  22. hurr me eat noobie urr durrr
  23. Helljumpers "Feet first into the fire"
