Very cool Mad. I wasn't the biggest fan of the original GTA games, but I might give them a whirl.

Just because Petroglyph is working under LEC doesn't mean they will addapt LECs business methods. I nessence, LEC has said "Ok, here's the type of game we want to make, you develope it". They've basically been given free reign over the game, with LEC's only roll being the distributer of the licence. I've read wonderful things about Petroglyph, and have the utmost confidence in them.

Well, I'd like to get one, but I don't think I could bring myself to pay $400.00 for a toy, no matter how cool. I have other projects on the go I'd rather spend my credits on.

I tried the demo, to some extent. While the JUD is a nice idea, and the character models are nice, there really isn't much else that I'm fond of. The weapons models are nothing to bragg about, it doesn't tell you what weapon you are using (actually, you just load a different kind of ammo into your one rifle), and the crosshair sucks. The good news is that the reports that your team will be invincable are not true. They can die too. The strange thing is that they all have different voices from Jango... maybe some ammo to be used in the Clone Empire thread?

I got a little interested as to what exectly you can get in the way of Star Wars Lego. I think I found the mother of all Lego sets with this. Expensive, yes. Worth it, most definitely!

LucasArts must have read JediIgor's post about releasing demos before you release the game . Very nice find B&R!. I'm downloading it as I type (all 431.2mb of it ). Hopefully it will be worth the d/l.

I find that decimals make math much easier, especially when measureing distance. I can't figure out why so many carpenders here in Canada still use inches and feet, as centemeters and meters are more accurate and precise. Thanks for the link Trej, I think I might actually be able to figure it out, though a currency similar to a dollar that consists of 240 pennies is still a little strange. I wouldn't mind having such a currency since asking for a pence or a farthing, or a crown or a sovereign isounds much cooler than asking for a twoony or a looney .

Did you add a sort of "friendly fire" to the mod this time around? i noticed that while playing as the Vong ( a fine addition, BTW) I had "shield" splashes that coincided with the firing of a destroyer on the opposite side of a ship. It could have simply been timing since there were a good number of enemy ships firing too. You've hit hte -RU problem right on, Eville. When I first test each version of the mod I like to take a look at everything, which is easier with lots of cash. however, playing with extreme RU injections will (and always has) caused this problem. Just play the mod the way it was meant to be played people, build lots of resourcers. What's the fun in building a fleet and simply throwing it at your opponent? Fight over resources! EDIT:I forgot to say that I love all of the new maps in this release, especially those that have lots of dus clouds. Should make multiplayer more tactical .

How could Picard loose? Not only does he have the Enterprise, but he has a cool French name, with an even cooler British accent!

I've recently taken a liking to a series of novels set in the late 18th/early 19th century that focusses on the the British Navy of the time (Patric O'Brian's Maturin/Aubrey novels). There is, however, a concept that I am getting a little lost on, however, and I was hoping someone could explain this for me. There is much talk of money, and I can't quite keep up with it, since I have no idea what order the currency denominations progress in. I am assuming that a Guinea is the largest denominations (with a value of One pound and one shilling), but I also know that they haven't been issued since 1813. So, if some one could please explain to me how this all works I would be most obliged.

I tried the 15 day trial, but found that the UI was too combersom for me... I guess that doesn't really count.

Not to be rude, but posting this in one of the forums would have been sufficient, rather than posting it as three posts in three different forums.

Downloading it now. Why the big jump in version number? I was expecting a v0.40 final or some such. cant wait for the download to finish

I also had a low stress factor. I admit I find some of the intersting facts... well, intersting (I guess that's why they put them there ). I should take the greed test, though I'm pretty sure I know what the results will say .

I took it. I'm a "Judge". I'm very analytical, able to put my emotions aside and perform my task in a cold, efficient manner. Maybe I'm more like Thrawn than I though .

The death test is rather funney. Apparently I'm going to die on September 25, 2068.

I'm taking a test on taht Sparks website, the Stress test. I find the following question offensive: Since when are Americans superior to all other people!? An attitude like that can lead to dangerous things! Now, back to the topic...

Hmm, well, there seems to be a bit of Luke in there, but if I had to pin it down (and I am sorry about this ), I have to say Leia. EDIT: Just as a side note, I am 18% Jerk.

Well, there is still the fact that many governments choose not to act because there is not advantage for them. Look at what is happening in the Congo. We know there is rame, murder, and genocide, but I don't see the US going out of its way to do anything about it.

You should be able to find the music here since I don't think the files on Eville's page are down. EDIT:My mistake, it's down at Evilles. Some one will have to e-mail it to you I suppose.

Well, there were all of those Pirate lego sets that you could get when I was young. It was sort of a "Pirates of the Caribbean" set, with Red Coats agains Pirates. They had cannons and Sea Service pistoles. Hmm, I wonder if I can still find those sets...

Very nice find Trej! This gives us a perspective of what we can expect to see in Episode III. At least we won't have to watch in boredom as the Republic slowly crumbles, but to see the rise of the Empire!!

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Russian liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp at the end of the Second World War. Over 1.5 Million Jews and others died at the Auschwitz and Birkenau (Brzezinka) camps. I bring this to your attention because it is my belief that too little is done to educate recent generations on this and other atrocities. Even the various media sources I have access to, save for the CBC and other Canadian newspapers, give only passing reference to this solemn anniversary. I know that across Europe, especially at the camps themselves, ceremonies of respect and rememberance are taking place today. I would ask those of us not fortunate enough to pay our respects in person to do so in our own way at home.

I wish I had the skill to do that. I might buy some of the pre-assembled kits, but Luke's X-Wing is $68 alone! I also can't find any of the Imperial sets except a few speeder bikes. I wonder how much of that he does himself, and how much he has perchaised?

If you go into the Forums/Profile menu, scroll to the very bottom. There will be a text field that is titled "Link to ofsite Avatar". Copy and paste your image address (right-click on the image, select properties. There will be a web address there, copy it) into that field and press the grey button next to it. That should cover it. you'll have to do that every time you change something in your profile, so try and do everything you want now to save a little trouble later. As for images in your sig,, on the same page as above there is a text field where you type your sig in. Choose where you want the image, get it's address (righ-click on it, properties) and put it "%5B/color%5D%5Bcolor=yellow%5Dhere%5B/color%5D%5Bcolor=red%5D", where "here" is your address. Don't use the "", I've just done that so I can show you the command. It's just like putting an image in your post. You could also do it using HTML, but I find this is easier. Hope that helps .
