Atlantis is much better if you don't have to sit through all the dreadful acting. You can usually cut out half a show or more and still get the general idea of what happened.
I'm waiting till about season 3, if the crew hasn't gelled by then it will be off my list completely.
atleast they are doing something. 12% efficiency may suck compared to what professional power producers can come up with, but it's still better that sitting on you ass not doing anything.
I'd take 12% if it meant I was saving some money and the enviroment.
Throwing Fish.. Moving cheese.. Giving them the Pickle...(I'm not kidding...). "A setback is a setup for a comeback" - Willy Jolly (again I'm not kidding). "The Power of One" - One what? I have no idea and the list goes on...
It would be nice if the company actually embraced new ideas instead of pretending to.
We've tried and tried to convince the powers that be, to stop authorizing the use of Ink jets. we have a bunch of really nice lasers, and even a couple of Color lasers that are sitting around idling most of the time. But people complain to their managers that they have to walk 15 feet to the printer, so the manager whacks IT till they get a ink jet. Morons. It's amazing to me how we, back here it in IT, have 1 common laser printer. Nobody has their own. We have no issues with that, and we're printing all the time.
I found it bizarre to watch the first time. But now for some odd reason I remember parts of it, and it seems funnier now.
Lines like:
"Pedro offers his protection", or "You gonna eat those tots?", while on there own don't sound funny, it the right context with people who know the reference can be fairly entertaining.
I'd say Napoleon is funnier after you've see it, not while you're actually watching it.
I still liked it better than "Friends", ugh, I'm glad that's over.
The US version sucks...I tried watching on 2 different occasions. I felt like I was watching someone get their teeth pulled with a rusty pliers, very painful to watch.
ugh. Maybe I'll get the Brit version from NetFlix, it has to be better.
I have made it to the surface of Telo, that's as far as I've gotten. (sorry there's sork, wife and house duties to attend to, right now I should be doing laundry).
All I can say is that it has been rushed. When I first opened the box I could tell. Look at the manual, compare it to KOTOR1. Sure KOTOR 2's manual is in color, but the level of detail is terrible. I like reading the manuals to get all the details about the weapons and armor etc etc. The fact that it wasn't in there told me the skimped in the game.
Maybe I'm anal about my critiques, but so far whenever I have judged a game by the manual I haven't been wrong.
It took me about 5 hours to install this game, I have a athlon XP 3000+ with 512MB of ram, 9200se ATI Radeon, blah blah blah. The installer wouldn't copy the swkotor2.exe or the language file over to my PC. I did that manually. I think it kept puking on the installation of the DX9.0c , I already had it installed thanks to Pirates!.
The fit and finish of the game is lacking, to many quirky bugs, plus I feel like most of the time there's only one way of doing something, even if you try to be evil.
It took Valve 3 years to do Half-life 2. (I'm guessing at the 3 years, I can't play FPS, motion-sickness). They rushed this, KOTOR 2 should have had atleast a 2 year Dev cycle. They stuffed it into 1.
Who do you blame? I'd put my money on Lucas Arts, they rushed Obsidian so that they could get the Xbox version out before Christmas.
I just hope there's a patch on the way. No one from LA or Obsidian has confirmed that there is yet, to my understanding.
Some elevators have a "Phone-home" capability that is set to schedules. It's possible that the Elevator could have been prevented from calling back to the service office. But that's about all that could happen.
Chances are if you're a blacksmith in this day and age, you're actually in pretty high demand. My father-in-law does it as a side "hobby". Sells some of his stuff a local craft shows, demonstrates at schools...he's really good, and people are willing to pay decently to get him to make them stuff.
There may come a time when we need fewer programmers, like blacksmiths. But those that are will be special "craftsman". We'll just have to change our style to fit with the times.

It becomes really hard to be truthful about the past, when the parts of the past were so sad.
My father-in-law likes to call them the "bad ol' days", because they really weren't all that good.
GTA might be able to pull off a 1940's that was believably realistic, but that's because Rockstar already has a rep for pushing the envelope.
Sounds like he needed therapy.
just what we need.
How much salt would be would 1 RHDILD be?
Quite a bit I bet.
Like,
Throwing Fish..
Moving cheese..
Giving them the Pickle...(I'm not kidding...).

And I guess we had the Mir?
Other than investing in the market, most Bank based savings account pay less than 1% in interest.
Where's the incentive?
Come'on people!
This statement alone proves that there are narrow minded people on both sides of the issue.
morons...

Good times...

PA in general has some of the worst roads in the Nation...
The best way to take out an enemy...
Send a nuke to a point between 3 or 4 of his biggest cities and he is toast. Also made a good way to terraform, everything became sea side property.
The were some serious nukes...never seen them like than in any game since.
Sean D.
You probably could make a little money off that. Bizarre but totally possible.
