  1. I think I got rid of a lot of my PC game boxes. It got kinda silly having boxes full of empty boxes (since the game cds and manuals were stored by my computer). Although I seem to remember trying to keep the BG/IWD/PST stuff (but they may be tossed too). I also don't have the boxes for my Atari 2600 games either; I do have my boxes for my C64 games but they were smaller and less numerous than the PC games. Of course NES/SNES/Genesis/SegaCD/PS1/PS2/Saturn/Dreamcast/Xbox/360 games are a different story, as they're all in their boxes (and yes, the boxes, manuals, cartridges/CDs/DVDs are in other boxes too!). Frankly at this point I wonder if I'm secretly a box collector and not a game aficionado.
  2. I do that too. If I posted every post that I type, I'd look like I actually participate in the forums. Also I'm sure I would have been banned by now. :\ Ditto for me. Actually I find typing up angry rants cathartic like probably 90% of the net; I just have the good sense not to post mine for everyone to see.
  3. FYI Missy said the lair is gone for good, period. Gwai talked to her and let us know on #mistresslair. Of course there is the Mistress Lair Redux boards - http://z6.invisionfree.com/MistressLair_Re...dex.php?act=idx Also, my post count is smaller than it should be on the list, since I was running two accounts (my mod account had most of my posts).
  4. Thing is the film is totally moving towards that plot end; that's what I felt when seeing the movie before finding out about the leaking of the end and fan backlash.
  5. IMO, the important question about a film is "Is it a good film?" not "does it stay true to the source material". Because at the end of the day its more important for the film to work on its own terms. The example I liked to use is Hitch****'s Young and Innocent. Based on the book "A Shilling for Candles" by Josephine Tey, the movie drops the Inspector character, changes the plot from a Whodunnit to a Double Chase and is generally a completely different story. So as an adaption its not faithful, but as a film on its own its one of Hitch's stronger British films. At the end of the day, I think being a good film will ultimately triumph over being a faithful adaption but a weak film because of it. As I understand it *backs away slowly* I liked The Uninvited too; although I knew the twists because I'd seen the original Korean film, A Tale of Two Sisters.
  6. I really should watch the original Predator again...I think its been like a decade since I last saw it.
  7. I didn't really like it either; the "tactical" side of it didn't work (running around and taking command of different squads of fighters, then leading them around the battlefield) and I have to confess I didn't really like some of the other design choices either.
  8. Just started Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzinoha vs King Abaddon
  9. Since I watched the film a second time Yeah but you kind of expect that for the movie to involve The Enterprise in the action. I did spot a continuity error when I watched it the second time, I noticed that
  10. Does she hate them? Or does she just not trust them at all and have no experience dealing with aliens or alien cultures? I'll be honest I never did make up my mind about Ashley in my run throughs (part of why I thought the character interesting and sometimes disturbing to interact with)
  11. I don't think I disliked any of the characters in ME1.
  12. Saving/not saving the council (at least I assume they die if you don't direct the fleet to save them) Picking the human council member if the council is saved releasing/killing the Rachni Queen Kill or let go alien terrorist in Bring Down The Sky Romance/not Romance and if so w/who
  13. Doug? Don't be silly, it couldn't POSSIBLY be that!
  14. I saw Star Trek a second time and I amend my statement a bit
  15. I dunno, I guessed - but all speculation of course - that
  16. I've got a two vowel combo in my last name that no one pronounces correctly (even when they ask and I tell them how its pronounced).
  17. I wasn't there, but people I know told me about a lady whose name was pronounced one way here in US English but the pronounciation was wrong; it apparently was pronounced in a way that sounded like "whore" in English in her native non-English speaking country. For obvious reasons she never pointed out the error as the mispronounciation was quite benign as opposed to the correct pronounciation. This all came to a head when a new employee who hailed from her home country came to work and rather famously tried to helpfully correct his coworker's mispronounciation by stating emphatically "She's a whore! Whore! Its WHORE!" during a meeting.
  18. Romulans are warlike. Romulans are always on alert for Klingon attacks. The Romulans probably wouldn't be against using force to subdue a planet to mine on it. I don't see the problem with an armed Romulan Mining ship (who, thanks to being from the future, has more powerful weapons than the ships of the past because of tech advances).
  19. Ill probably regret asking - but what is so horrible about 4E Forgotten Realms? I haven't even looked at the books so have no clue. (Also it seems like in my experience that whenever a new edition comes out there are always those who complain about the artwork - I remember it about 2E as well).
  20. Or maybe she was building a fence and he summoned rain, wind and hail against her.
  21. When I read the "Fight the Good Fight" Intelligence dialogue the first time, in game, I thought my character was using intelligence to be sarcastic. Like "Oh...you 'fight the good fight'quotes> with your...voice". That basically the character was saying 3 Dog was full of it. Maybe I'm just too charitable.
  22. Yeah I only read a little bit about multiclassing - it didn't immediately click with me. It seems you can only do two classes, from what I gather, and it then allows you access to feats of that class but it seems like you'll always be a bit behind someone who starts with that class (or maybe I read it wrong, like I said it didn't immediately make sense to me).
  23. Is that a nuclear explosion in your pants, or are you just glad to see me?
  24. Yeah but you waste a feat on it to be able to take the skill (and isn't that feat the multiclassing feat?)
  25. It was fun to use, for sure. Oh yeah, and picking up loot was more difficult after disintegration.
