We got a few of those at our school for teachers to use. They're actually incredibly handy - the first thing my Govt. prof. did was put up a dynamic electoral college map, where you could go and poke the states to change them from red to blue. It's a neat invention, to be sure. I say, go ahead and use this for D&D, as like a giant dynamic stats table or turn order thing.
"Roll a percentile to see if you can draw the map"
"Okay... uh... I got 100."
"... Ohhhkay... You succesfully draw a map."
"Cool! Allright, we follow the map to get out of town and back to the dungeon."
"You get lost. Elves tie you up."
Dear Moderators:
Please review your moderations. It is a known fact that RPG players greatly enjoy cheetoes, especially from The Dead Alewives skit. Quite honestly, cheeto cheese dust can quickly get everywhere, and the lens of a projecter is no exception.
So, in short, it's funny, not flamebait.
Since my RPGs are so non-linear and made up mostly on the fly, I don't need maps. When RPGing, I tell the players where they are and what's happening - and I change what happens in the world depending on how they do - quite dynamically. A map would only drag me down - forcing me into some sort of 'structure'.
Oh, and if anyone asks, it's Shadowrun.
Your imagination, coupled with a caffiene high and my natural psychosis, we always have fun. When one of your players is on enough adderall to kill a horse(in RL), and his character has a strength of 21, you know you're going to have fun.
Yeah yeah, I know, while I'm 18, I'm still a kid to a lot of you people. However, ask the newer generation what the Genesis or the NES are, and you'll get a lot of blank stares - that's providing they even make the connection of "Is that like an XBox?" I feel blessed to have seen the inception of a lot of the industry.
About the CG:
Now, I for one have always played computer and console games, going all the way back to my sega genesis. I do some 3d programming work, so I know how a 3d engine works and feels. I know how real life works and feels.
Getting to the point: In my opinion, there is something wrong about Lucas's CGI. Whatever he uses just doesn't feel right to me. My father describes it as feeling 'flat' - which he gave no such condemnation to Half-Life 2 or Far Cry. I describe it as being 'too smooth' or 'unrealistic' - but I just can't put my finger on it. It's extremly prominent in Episode 2. However, to see it at it's worst, see the original 3 remade - the CGI scenes in that, which are hacked in, REALLY feel wrong to me. Has anyone else noticed this? I think this may play a large part in the rejection of the newer films - the old ones, while a lot of it was nottoogreatlooking, it was still very real.
I must ask, even though this is slightly offtopic, how I can be overrated, even when the only rating I got was the initial 1 for just being logged in? Being overrated means I was rated in the first place.
Did nobody even read the article? It uses things you already own, including...an MP3 player, a USB pen, or even a cell phone...An iPod mini...
So, if you've already got them, isn't it extremly cost effective, not costing you anything and doubling as a boot drive, while retaining it's original functionality?
And, like many +5 funny comments on slashdot, I must admit, it was hardly original - I believe I first saw this in another mac speculation thread.
Redundancy for Nerds!
Stuff you've heard before!
THAT was original.
What happen?
We get hax0rs!
What?
Main screen turn on!
It's you!
How are you gentlemen! All your cash are belong to us! You have no chance to withdraw, make your time.
Ha ha ha ha...

Does that mean this guy is getting laid when he's eighty years old?
You know, I think I'm gonna go dry heave now.

Oh, what the hell, I won't lie. I'm a slashdotter - I have no ex.
I tried that with my ex. Believe me, it doesn't work.

And they reincarnate Darth Maul. He was just too damn cool to not have a bigger part than killing obi-wan's mentor. Sheesh.

Hmm...
Slashdot:
Speculation for Nerds!
Stuff that, even if it turns out to be true, won't matter until it does!
Rumors for Nerds!
Stuff that may or may not be true!
Heh, with there being as few IT jobs today, women are pretty smart to be leaving, if you ask me.

Anyone else suddenly reminded of Dogberry from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing?

...righteous OSS community... damn man. You win.
Counter-Strike, CS Source, (Steam et. al.), Warcraft 3, and Diablo 2 all work under Cedega. If you don't believe me, try This.
Well, sure. I can wait too. We'll probably be dead by then.
Damn asians anyways. Except the Asians really have no control over the sun. At all. We hope. I do not want the ChiComs in control of the sun.
Oh come ON, how is a FIRST POST redundant? It's not like he can go and read the other posts first!
Dude, I added ads.rediff.com to my adblock list (on instinct, really) and didn't get a damn popup.
