Re: Random Irrefutability
Let's see if my brain is still functioning then shall we?
Regrettably, you are not reasoning as clearly as you were at one time.
You say it is an obviously made-up story, but that only seems to be obvious to a particular type of people.
The "particular type of people" happen to be the type of people who are concerned about truth and have developed pretty good abilities at determining what is truth.
I'm not concerned with your religion. It is within your rights to observe whatever religion you wish. But you ought to be able to recognize when stories are obviously made up. You might still choose to believe such stories on the basis of faith. But it is wrong for you to accuse others of not valuing truth just because they do not choose to accept obviously made up stories.

If you like MMO's, but not necessarily Star Wars, then you're gonna love it.

Its a great MMO, and its very Star Warsy.
Fortunately for me, I like both Star Wars and MMO's...

Re: SWTOR
I like Star Wars and I like MMO's. I have tried my hand at a number of MMO's and only really gotten into one of them. However, that is more due to the fact that I am quite certain I have adult ADD...I can't sit and do one thing for too long. Also, I do enjoy Star Wars and have watched it numerous times, but I'm no fanboy or anything (I don't give a fuck who shot first). That said, it looks like a fucking killer game so I will be giving it the old college try.

It'll be worth your time.

Which one?

There'll prolly only be one issue for you: You're gonna hafta to do a lot of running in the beginning.
The zones are big, you have to run out to the taxi ports to unlock them before you can use them, and you don't get your sprint until level 15.
That is the only thing about the game that I haven't liked. Granted, you can have your companion do some gathering or crafting while you're waiting for your guy to auto-run to the other side of the map.
Also, I do enjoy Star Wars and have watched it numerous times, but I'm no fanboy or anything (I don't give a fuck who shot first).
It was Han.
That said, it looks like a fucking killer game so I will be giving it the old college try.
It'll be worth it... let us know how you like it (or if you need any tips).

Word.
It’s the only game where I like the good guys more. Gotta go with the republic IMO.
Besides like 75%+ of the server population (across the board) is Sith/Empire anyway, and if you couldn’t tell its my belief that only dead fish, go with the flow

Mary Sue is on the Sith/Empire side in this game.

Re: SWTOR
I would get sick of the force users (specifically the Jedi) being an order of magnitude better than non-force users in the films and the RPG.
Mary Sue is a term for perfect characters who seems to gain powers on demand (the EU is rife with this).
Jedi, to me seem holier than thou 'lawful stupids' who stamped out other force traditions through out the 20,000 yrs of modern history.
It would be great if this was not the case is SWOTOR.
Abe: just realised that I'm ranting. I did not think Star Wars meant so much to me, lol.
Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong.
Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.

12Sky and 12Sky2. They are martial arts MMO's. 12Sky is dead now and 12sky2 is for fuck because the company that runs it, Aeria Games, has made it such that you need to be a rich bastard to be any good even though it is free-to-play.

Any MMO I have played I have done the same. that way, PvP victories feel like they are earned, in the event that the PvP battle is team v team as opposed to 1on1.

Re: SWTOR
That's the case also with the D&D free to play MMO.
In app purchases seem to be the new model.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Re: SWTOR
Yea, it sucks. It completely pushed me away from the game. What little actual skill is involved (at least in this particular game I mentioned), the little pricks who have mommy's unlimited credit card PWN ass because they can buy gear and make it a shit experience for any serious player who can't dump 100's of dollars a month/week on shit.

Re: Rage
You can do multiplayer though, on the PC version atleast.
Is it a sign of trouble in the marriage when you're arguing over who gets the next Volcano sniper rifle?
No. When the sniper becomes real, its a problem.

Since people are talking SW:TOR, i have to bring up Star Trek Online.
Space Play:
Ground Play:
Its one of the few Star Trek games that are any good. When i played it though, alot of ground missions became real boring real fast.
With recent updates however, it should be good again. When ive played a few hundred hours of skyrim, ill start playing ST: Online again
