WOW is the latest fad, nothing more. People will get bored and relise they spent 3-4 times the money of one game on it and yet still have to pay to play it if they want to start up again.
If you're smashing a giant squids face in or beating an orc round the head with a boomerang at what point do you go "hey this isn't real enough!".
RPGs are 99% of the time a fantasy genre, they're not ment to look real, they're ment to be a fun story. It's just a shame the FPS crowd are so small minded and refuse to accept that realism can ruin a game just as well as it can make one.
There is no magic style to fix all things. Some will suit a dark broody style, others will suit a more animated cartoony style. Different tools for different jobs.
Completely and utterly off topic but hopefully someone can help since this is slashdot.
I'm trying to find out which chapters of lord of the rings (all 3 books) contain elves living in woods (AKA wood elves). So if anyones got a spare five minutes and knows could they reply please with the answer.
But surely they have control over which system they use, the main system is on safe mode, but the back up system isn't so why couldn't they switch to the back up and then use the "main" one as the back up if they're limited on time.
So do you have MSN or AIM or something? It's rare you find someone with an opinion like yours and I'd like to talk to you more and find out what's going on in your local area/head/whatever which makes you think this.
Not trying to say you're wrong, stupid or whatever, I'd just like to talk to you and see the other side.
next you'll be saying you're glad porn is gone because they're the negative part of the internet. Crime makes things popular. You can't legally drive a car 200 MP/H, yet you can buy ones which will go that fast.
Well it seems you have a very fucked up life then. Because to me gender is something undefined like skin colour. We're born as we're born, I can't control and no one else can, the opinion you hold isn't defined by a hole or a stick.
So you're saying we should just nuke them? kill thousands if not millions of Iraqis just for kicks? All the innocent who got repressed now have to die because it's easier on us? Surely the USA started the war, so it should be the one losing people not Iraq, who just sat there and tried to survive?
You also forget different parts of the country feel differently. Some places hate the soldiers, others love them (the British soldiers for example are known for handing out sweets which amazingly enough does make people think better of them, they may not be liked, but less chance of being shot. Plus when someones holding a gun you tend to be nice to them and make sure they don't point it at you.
The only true way we'd get a true picture is a hidden camera on a civilian from Iraq talking to people around town when no soldiers are around, but this'll never happen.
So if's fine for them but not you because they were born in Iraq or Afganistan?
I'll remember that..
Seems you're hiding your head in the sand. Ignoring that it's ILLEGAL weather "better" or not.
Have you ever been in the place to deny it's not as they say? I doubt it.
I'm exhausted so going to bed, just to warn you mods will probably swarm the topic and mod you to hell due to popular opinion here. If you're got MSN/AIM/Yahoo/Google then post it up here and I'll IM you tomorrow to continue the discussion and save you some karma.
I live an hour from London, last time I checked I was in the firing line too. Doesn't mean shit to me, if I die then I die on my feet doing what I enjoy. I don't die on my knees like you will. America had 1 terrorist attack in what 2-3 years now? Think of how many people get skin cancer in that time. The sun has better odds of killing you then these terrorists.
So you're saying we're defending these people, by locking them up illegally in prison camps and refusing to give them trials?
Read it, then tell me we're protecting them. We're illegally locking them up, abusing them (SEXUAL ABUSE INCLUDED). Then refusing to give them basic human rights.
If you're going to preach then back it up with words. Other wise take your little lies and shove them. I've met loads of people like you, I always wonder if the propaganda should of said "go kill yourself, your god will love you and give you virgins", because both sides of the "war" are clearly brainwashed. One says "we're right, we're solving the problem" and the other says "we're right, our God said so and our God is the REAL ONE!".
Okay, firstly, fuck the karma. I ain't ACing this.
Secondly, you're an idiot. If we decide to "fuck the rules" and so do they, we both become suicidal nutters with bombs on our nuts. It's by sticking to the rules (AKA don't torture people, hello Bush). That we stay ABOVE their level.
When we start using the same tactics as they do (not to mention Bush is also happy to force Christianity into other peoples lives even if they don't want it), we become the "evil".
A lot of innocent people got their homes blown up and lost family members on both sides. You're bullshit just shows how stupid you are.
A human life is a human life, if it's okay for US to do anything, it's okay for THEM to do anything. A free life is not free if you have to be searched and risk your life every time you leave your house, which is how it is right now in Iraq.
I read the Escapist every week but please. It's a good way to waste an hour or two, but this article is not news worthy at all. It's a look back to the age a guy things was better.
Why wasn't the article on the "homeless gamers" posted here instead? It seems closer to the mentality of many gamers(including myself) today. Go and check it out if you haven't.
Right now the magazine needs a lot of work (AKA needs more people writing intresting things not just ranting on how yesterday was better, or they have boobs, or whatever minority group wants a whine for a while). Still it's worth keeping an eye on it, every week theres usually one or two articles I want to read (just a note to people, if you sign up to the subscription they will send you an e-mail when the extended edition is out, which is usually 2 more articles on a Friday), but it's nothing ground breaking. It'll bring back a couple of memories, maybe make you smile once ortwice. Make you want to pick up an old genre or game you left. It won't on the other hand insprie you to do much more..
Yea I've heard people talking online before and some how I always thought it was a stupid idea. Do I REALLY want to listen to a 12 year old kid going "YOU FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG!" every time I frag him?
Simplest way. Put it in a private room and only the people who NEED (not want, NEED) a key get it. Then make sure no one leaves the door open and you can get nothing more secure.
Obviously it's easier to buy from a company, then you can go "hey Dell said it" and you keep your job.
This is all fine and dandy but some of us can't even get to our e-mail. For the last few days all I get is " Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We are sorry for the inconvenience." whenever I try to log in. Rather than mess around with new things why not fix the damn problems with the current ones?
Who cares if your boss is a psycho, when we work out why people who do all the work (manual labour etc.) get 10 times less money then the people who point and go "Get it done by next week" (managers). I think we'll be about ready to ask pointless questions like these..
This is downright ridiclous. Everyone in the UK (like myself) should buy a plain white T-shirt and draw the Olympic rings on it then write all these words over it and wear them in London around the Olympics. If enough people did it, it'd show off the point of how ridiclous this law is.

I'm working on some wood elf model display peices and doing as much research as I can and since I have the book here I figure may as well research it.

UMDs seem to majorly outnumber games. You can't buy what isn't there.
next you'll be saying you're glad porn is gone because they're the negative part of the internet. Crime makes things popular. You can't legally drive a car 200 MP/H, yet you can buy ones which will go that fast.
:P
Work that one out
pfft! They arn't side burns. that's shaving poorly.Come bakc when you look like that block from Beagle 2 :P
It tends to last about a week as well which is nice. I've been doing that trick for ages.
But side burns man? Do you have an afro too? If not you need one, you should go for the insane druggy look.
For years my grandad swore by his foldable bike. It folds in half and fits in the back of a car. No reason you couldn't get one of them.
Or as you said roller blades, they'll do the job just fine.

back up this morning, no clue why.
Of course and if you find anything could you pass it along please?
:/
Google groups have some things reported. Some saying it's been fixed for them. No idea why it's happening but really annoying
I have two accounts. My private one works perfectly, my newlists/spam/annoying friends one doesn't.. :/
This is all fine and dandy but some of us can't even get to our e-mail. For the last few days all I get is " Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We are sorry for the inconvenience." whenever I try to log in. Rather than mess around with new things why not fix the damn problems with the current ones?
When did 70% become bad? Surely anything below 50% if bad. Anything above is above average no?
When did a rating system become 70 = bad 80 = okay 90 = good?
Who cares if your boss is a psycho, when we work out why people who do all the work (manual labour etc.) get 10 times less money then the people who point and go "Get it done by next week" (managers). I think we'll be about ready to ask pointless questions like these..
