Absolutely, a new Jedi Knight with all the new bells and whistles for graphics. XvsT was great in it's time. Lots to be said for updating your game to current standards. More sales for less work..
I think from my limited point of view not having ever played a MMO. That being a smith/miner is great. How would he go about making the axe of doom with X hit points or the mace of mastery etc. Assuming we're talking crafting as a skill where does he get the jewels/enchantments/etc to power up his weapons of doom. Do random finds in his mine added with his skill level allow him the ability to enchant? Does he mine for himself or do we add in a journeyman/apprentice line as well? If we're talking MMO that would be killer. "my main bitch being with MMO's is they're subscription based and most require you to buy the game"
I like where this is headed but there have always been a lot more questions than answers. I'm 41 now and play various RPG's and FPS shooters and even sims3 occasionally."I have been playing heavily since 96"
I think this may be the future. adaptive games within a framework. A somewhat real sandbox where anything goes. With well regulated classes and some ability to play outside your class but structured so that mages can't be iron miners for instance. "unless your world framework allows Mages and Iron to mix of course"
Yea, good luck with the fiber to the home. I have a nice fiber right up to my cabinet on the side of my house.. no one in town will use it. ATT Uverse still wants to use copper. Idiots. Of course Verizon can't come in because it's an ATT area. Frankly Competition sucks for FTTH. So I'm stuck with cable.. which isn't too bad I guess "16/2" but they could do more over the fiber. They don't have any plans either.
Now as far as Quantum Computing goes.. I know about enough to fill a molecule with room for a large Winnebago to fit beside me.
Well, coming from a quasi-legal marijuana state. The feds under Obama have mostly stopped prosecution. With a card I can go 4 blocks from my work and buy from a dispensary. "prescription in the front filled in the back" I'm not 100% sure I'm comfortable with MJ being legal for all but it certainly it frees up law enforcement to crack down on Crank/Speed which is a huge issue here.
Well for me it's simple, I live in California and pay a recycle tax and sales tax on many items. "I was already recycling electronic gear before the TAX" If I can buy somewhere and not pay tax or shipping and skip the recycle fee I will. Places like TigerDirect give me that option.
Note I do not say TD is a good place.. but I only buy new items from them. I still occasionally will buy from Newegg but it's getting rarer and rarer with new sales tax hike. Of course I do remit the owed amounts of sales tax every year. Just like every good tax payer should. Ahem.
Fresno had em in two locations. The promise did NOT live up to the hype and they were pulled. breach of contract etc.. Huge issue.. Fresno lost money if I recall because they had to pay to have em removed. They were sold on it with the same premise 800K a year in fines etc.. "this from two lights.. haha"
Big ClusterFuck. If we know they are there.. we don't run the light.. how hard is that to figure out.
Gotta love California, 770 miles long. We take driving for granted here. One of the reasons is you can't get a train from Sacramento to LA. or from SF to LA. I've ridden Amtrak from Bakersfield to Seattle and really enjoyed it but not being able to take one south of Bakersfield is idiocy.
Umm, I think you missed where this is happening. There is pretty much gun control in the UK. The taxation on weapons is pretty high so gun crime is typically low.
Finally no ads with sports, douches,beer,tampons,cereal,toys, insert new pill with horrible side effects here, Depends, advice to see my physician if erection lasts more than 4 hours, pamprin, reducing the effects of PMS, domain registration,...
I could go on all day. the list of things to advertise to me is 1000x shorter than the ads I currently see. In fact I record almost everything that is episodic and skip commercials.
Now women in underwear jumping on trampolines selling the latest FPS game or RPG I might watch that. I really don't have much use for advertising in general.
Comcrap is losing me quickly the incredible lack of anything worthwhile being on TV makes the amount I pay to have the DVR and HDTV ridiculous. I do have a few series I watch and they are HD though.

We fired the last governor that got us 40billion in debt. At least I have a job though. I do appreciate that.

That was a bumper sticker on my car in 1985. Next to the one that states
It takes 1485 screws and bolts to put a car together but only one nut to scatter it all over the road.
It's Barbara Streisands Nose
Fixed that for you
Did they say bestiality was illegal?
Crap.. I was having so much fun sending Elmer the octopus to my unsuspecting friends.
Maybe they should use Dykes.. then it would be done Lickety Split...
Dykes on Trikes?
bye bye karma.
RECTUMSEMPRA...
which is either a spell from Harry Potter or Latin for Timely Assholes.

Sounds to me like my porn avi's will start stuttering.. right to the magic moment.. then it'll clear up and play right.

I live in Fresno,and to think I was hoping for a local nuclear power plant.
Maybe we can still get one of those too!
That helps me keep my Meth Fresh, I'm all for it.

So most do not in fact use guns to commit crime.

Somewhere that they were going to freely allow use on around 3000 of them? That's pretty righteous.
