WoW General / Caster duels in WoW - like nwn yet?
« on: February 24, 2005, 12:50:37 AM »
Well duels in WoW... Are they like nwn yet?
For example, in nwn caster duels is all about timing of keystroke, watching ur opponent's hand movements, and getting past mantle etc etc (as well as deciphering what is his build and weakness).


Are the spells in WoW like that? Or is it all just a clickfest?... WoW should be better betcause it isn't round based.

WoW General / Is it true mage pvp in Wow ends up with just poly?
« on: February 20, 2005, 08:20:03 AM »
I was reading on a website about pvp in WoW and it seems most of the time the mages just turn everyone to sheep and that's the end of it. As a sheep, you are of course helpless.

Is it true? Sounds pretty lame.

« on: February 20, 2005, 08:16:11 AM »
Ordinarily, Thunderclap goes through mantle right?

Did GodSpire change anything for this?

Thanks!

Random Ranting / How fat is fat?
« on: February 15, 2005, 10:52:27 PM »
Ok so i saw this documentary about some poor girls in the US
Apparently there is this syndrome whre the girl hitches up with a guy who has an insecurity complex. To support his complex he needs a girl whom he can feed a lot of food. And I mean a huge amount. He feeds her until she is so fat she can abrely fir on a queen size double bed! She lies there so long until her skin grows into the mattress. He even had to build a special house with extra widedoors to get her into there in the first place.

The reason why she accepts this feeding of her is because he's conditioned her to rely totally on him. He is like a feeder and she is like a queen bee only for mating for something. It seems he lies down with her and caresses her mountain white thoighs which he says he loves.

When they finall ycame to take her to hospital, they had to bulldoze down the bedroom wall and lift her out with a crane.

Anybody else remember this factual new item? It seems there's more than one person in this condition.

Anyone in Europe like this?

NwN General / Almost invincible hack build seen... How?
« on: February 14, 2005, 01:20:07 AM »
ok the other day i was a dm and saw this level 14 guy (about 7 rogue, 7 cleric or so),
on an ELC and ILR enabled local vault server
nothing special equipped, basic low level 14 stuff
no badstreff on items visible
no unusual stats on char sheet.
regen was about max 14 per round

He was hit repeatedly by stronger monsters and taken down to 1 hp (near death).
Kept getting hit for 40-50 per hit and his hp refused to go below 1 !!

I swapped the monsters weapon out to a level 61 item doing 2-300 hp per hit.
He refused to die stayed at 1 hp even though he was hit for 200-300 damage per round.

He was only killed when i replaced the item with a weapon with multipl eon hit slay/doom dc properties maxed to level 61.

Ok, anyone know what leto edit produces this result?

He wasn't set dm plot because he was being damaged. Could it be badstreff regen monsterability?
Anyone care to discuss?

GodSpire General / Suggestions on Godspire team pvp
« on: February 03, 2005, 06:45:54 AM »
okie it's great(!) the GodSpire team pvp section is back up!
Anyone agree with my suggestions ? :-
1) No need to wait to have even teams to open the arena. Just allow players to join the team which is smaller or equal to the other team. And keep the arena always open.
2) When you die, you respawn in team base. You dont need to decide which team to rejoin.
3) Just keep the team pvp constantly going, no need for one whole team to die for the round to be finished. We just want to kill.
4) Can we remove flags on backs and make it coloured names instead?...

I was hoping for team pvp like the old style gamesoldiers 2.

2nd topic: okie now they shut down random ranting on this board.. can we random rant in here?... it woul dbe GodSpire sort of random ranting of course, example topic: "Does anybody in GodSpire drive a pick up truck?"

Random Ranting / Would you agree to live your life in a robot body?
« on: February 02, 2005, 05:23:56 AM »
They now have the technology to connect your brain with electrodes to a full robot body and have it move around. Would you agree to transplant your brain to such a robot body?

ps- i found  alink to the technology web article describing the technology but i lost the link.. but it works!

let's assume you :-
Can have all the sensory feelings you want - or it can be fed into your brain like software
Will be 20x stronger in strength than a human body
You will never grow fat
You will be fed nurtient fluid, but you can make it taste like anything you like
Your brain will age but ur body will not

would you? wouldn't you?

General Anime / Howl's moving castle
« on: January 29, 2005, 07:36:02 AM »
It wasn't a bad Miyazaki movie. I do not feel it was his best because the plot was not quite as natural or believable as his other plots.

I felt the plot and music in Porco Rosso was better. I havent watched spirited away yet.
Porco Rosso is still my favourite. Totoro was funnier.

Art wise - there wasn;t much new in Howl's. But I am glad for any miyazaki because each one is special to me anyway.

anyone here watched howl's yet? how did u like it?

Random Ranting / Do you have any body art yet?
« on: January 29, 2005, 07:32:38 AM »

excluding basic girl earring piercing 1 on each ear or just spiky hairdo.

including stuff like: nose rings, belly button rings, tattoes anywhere, rod piercings, rings pierced anywhere else. tongue thingies etc etc

Random Ranting / Team America the movie
« on: January 19, 2005, 03:15:17 AM »
i just watched TA:World Police...

Head of TA: "There is no I in Team America!"

Intelligence: "Yes there is...."

lol that was one of a number of funny line sin this movie. I like the thunderbirds look and feel of it and it was quite funny.. Not the funniest but quite funny.

Not a bad movie but a bit too America centric (duuh) and not quite over the top as I would have liked. I liked it when the camera bumped the hero off his mootorbike. heh.


Did you guys like this movie?  is it too old to chat about?


Ps:Its so funny but X2 The Threat also has a thunberbirds feel to it heh.

General Anime / Elfen Lied
« on: January 13, 2005, 04:02:36 AM »
Ok so I clue don to this anime because somepeople were talking about the really good music. The music isnt bad.

But the story is apparently incredible so they say. It's much better than anything put out by lamer quentiin tarantino (who is just a copycat). It's about a girl who is a secret tech project super killer and she escapes from a facility. This anime has the most gore of any anime of its class and the characters apparently are very soulful (so they say).

Anyone hear dof it, have coments about it?

PS - sry about he QT comment - stick a thread in flamewar if u like.

Random Ranting / Do you think Michael Jackson is guilty/not guilty?
« on: January 13, 2005, 03:58:33 AM »
This isnt a poll about whether a court will find him guilty.
This is a poll about whether you think he actually did ANY of the things the kids allege. You can vote yes if he only did one bad thing.

Random Ranting / Which country has most of the nwn players?
« on: January 12, 2005, 02:49:18 AM »
Lance was saying he was one of 10 australians that played pso console online and that had me thinking where everyone in nwn came from.

Ok, a lot of the good players I have met came from netherlands. There are a lot of NLG players in nwn as far as i know.
The americans are there, but mor eof them have left than remain I think.
A lot more europeans are in nwn. I have met quite a few french, a lot of german and a number of spanish. A lot of very good italian mages out there.
I have met one icelander.

What are players from nwn like? Well I remember when the germans were considered really good pvpers but who used some very strange hacks on their items. The NLGs are quite friendly. Once I went into a french pvp server and got dm killed repeatedly becuase i wasnt french.

Later I might start a thread on which were the strangest servers in nwn i went into.

Where do you guys think most nwn players come from and what were they like?

EDIT : just realised maybe this should go in nwn general section... my apologies..

Random Ranting / Strangelets
« on: January 10, 2005, 07:21:26 AM »
http://nuclear.ucdavis.edu/rhic/washpost.html
This article is about "strangelets". A new reactor in the US is being built to reproduce matter as it was a few seconds after the universe was created by making sub-atomic particles collide at enormous speed :-
"According to the project design plan, it is intended to open "unexplored territory" in which "there is ample room for the unforeseen."
It is not known for certain if a side-effect will be the creation of some form of matter or condition unstable for life as we know it.

Boom! And the world is compressed to half its size for half a nanosecond...
Would you survive?

Oh just another speculative topic.

Anyone heard about this before?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...9-2005Jan9.html

ok now all the medical emergency people in the tsunami areas have set up but they are wondering where all the survivors have gone.

The fact is - they are all dead!! Somewhere off the coast, or under a huge mudbank of sludge.. is floating a mass of dead bodies. Just floatign with the tide, deep in the dark ocean in a soup of seawater. And then come the deep ocean Aliens! They will impregnate the corpses and these will all come alive and walk out onto the beaches and eat everyone up!!!

cool huh?

yeah yeah yeah rubbish topic again. but fun or not fun?

Random Ranting / Phantasy Star Online
« on: January 10, 2005, 06:44:33 AM »
This is one really nice looking game with fantastic music!
The animation fo the characters is the best I have seen. Everyone has a nice boppy feel to it. In the city when your char is chatting around, you look real cute and everyone bops a bit. I love the look and feel of this game!

Ok.. but i dont really like the gameplay. Fine you go out and kill stuff and get rare items etc.. But... its just a clickfest i think. And not much thinking as nwn makes available.

So, I think ill play a bit but not too often.

I havent tried multiplayer but its max 4 players to a server. I read that games are dominate dby Jap speakers and there are very many great hackers who pk and steal your items crash game etc..

Anybody trried ti before? What do you t hink?

EDIT -  :/ i meant to post this in the games section.

Random Ranting / About to try Freelancer
« on: January 10, 2005, 06:33:58 AM »
ok since i have this odd craving for space combat like say homewolrd or eve online, im deciding to give freelancer a try.
this is an elite style multiplayer game with free servers. must be maybe 30+ player son a server at a time i think.

elite = open ended space rpg you play a ship owenr and you can do anything you like be a pirate, trader, miner, police killer, join factions do escort etc. you can upgrade weapons etc and buy new ships.

one thing that bugs me is that i dont think you can get capital ships. you can only at most buy a freighter chassis and armour it up etc. in eve online i think you can buy a battlecruiser etc.

the other thing that bugs me is that they dont have a joystick control :/

otherwise than that the graphics look great!

anybody have any feedback?
if i get the chance ill post some feedback after i try it.
i dont know if i can get multiplyaer to work tho. anyway.

Random Ranting / Why would someone do this?
« on: January 06, 2005, 08:24:02 AM »
Champion figureskater Nancy Kerrigan was deliberately attacked on her right knee to cripple her career.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/fromthearchive/s...1378741,00.html

Why do some people actively hunt down women/girls like this? (eg: the Monica Seles stabbing is another example)

Are these attacker totally irrational?
If they are not totally irrational, then surely they have some reasonable basis for their actions? If so, is it only their hatred of the women which is the motivating factor? Why are some women so hated?

And will cloning help?


Discuz....

(Actually, I think cloning will help - should murder of clones be a crime? Would it be easier if Nancy kerrigan made a Figureskating PC game in which you too, could hit her right knee with a crowbar repeatedly and watch her crawl across the ice leving a bloody streak?)

Random Ranting / What is your view of the world?
« on: January 05, 2005, 01:53:08 AM »
This isn't a thread about identity.

How did you come to be here and who were you on arrival? Was it just a biogical reaction or was there some greater purpose or other existence which determined your entry into this world?

What are you doing on Earth? Why are you here?

My view: is that I'm an alien who has just arrived and all these creatures around me are totally new. And they aren't terribly nice as far as I can see. Secretly, i think I was sent by the Celestial Fieldmarischal Zhoda to scout out this planet for an invasion and that all I am is a recording medium. I don't think I will find anyone who likes me but then, I don't really expect to find anyone I like either.

How about you?

Feedback & Community / How to stop virii
« on: January 01, 2005, 07:34:51 PM »
We dont have a tech section yet so here goes my tips :-

1) You cannot stop viruses from the web. The rate at which new holes are being found in OSes makes this impossible. You may seek to guarantee an absence of virii by not connecting to the web and not sticking any foreign media in the CD or disk drives. No firewall is a perfect guarantee against a breach of security.

2) Stop using Outlook Express and Iexplore.
3) Stop using anything made by microsoft as this is a very buggy company. They deliberately left loopholes open.
4) Use Linux and set up a Linux firewall box.
5) Reformat and reinstall all your OSes every 2 months (use nortons ghost).

Anyone else have any tips?

Best AV software - In the absenc eof a Linux firewall box, sygate firewall and ewido i think. I dont really like AV scanning programs like NAV or McAfee. Just connecting to the web to download updates means u r downloading newer versions of the virii u r about to try to eliminate anyway.

EDIT: Im kinda biased MS. As Mel said below, just avoid using IE and OE. It's just that since I am aware how to program VB in Word, Excel, PP, Access and OE and IE to tie them all together, I am also aware of how easy it is to trigger viruses in Word and Excel too. MS left it all open as far as i am concerned.

Remember all those legends about times when men live din daily fear of earthquakes and tsunamis etc etc? Wow that must be what it is like in Indonesia now. Because 1 massive quake continues to set off many other quakes, ysunamis and weather disturbances. Its the continental plates grinding together...

Wonder how many other natural disasters will follow ...

Maybe more will perish in another tsunami! >_<

Wonder if Godzilla will pounce out of the earth's crust!!

Rejoice! The secret interstellar battlecruiser and planetary photonic battery defence base in Diego Garcia proved itself invulnerable to the mighty assault of the aliens' transmorgrid electropulse generator!

When the hostile battlefleets arrive, we will see them vaporised in a hail of zotons and phloots!!! HOORAY!!!!! That is unless they are equipped with Charon Class disruptor shields! Wait and see....
