Well, at least not horizontally. There happens to be a lot of people that aren't in the picture topic, that may inspire the use of pronouns anyways. In this case perhaps use a neuter pronoun, refering to people as 'it'or 'this'. These will always be wrong (with the exception of bots, though even these can have gender) and thus is the only way outside of personal knowlege to be certain of being wrong or right.

The Episodes: the poll in General

In any case, I voted that the first was the best, and the other two were good. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

New Cold War US-Russia? in General
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Friday, March 9 2007 11:39 Profile #61 As far as the global warming goes, I believe its fairly easy, and reasonable to agree that we aren't directly warming the earth with our energy production. The problem isn't with the heat produced, but with the chemical by products of industry, that is the 'green house gasses'. As was stated before, without the atmosphere the earth would be extremely cold, because it wouldn't retain much heat from the sun. Hence if we alter the composition of the atmosphere, we alter the heat/radiation trapping properties, and can retain more or less of the incoming heat from the sun. Another interesting factor in all this, is 'global shading'. According to some scientists the polutants that block some of the radiatory heat from entering are muting the effects of global warming. If/when those polutants stop being a factor, the effect of global warming would be intensified. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

I like it, but... in Avernum 4
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Monday, February 19 2007 10:04 Profile #25 She could be a shade. Or a martyr for some cult. In fact, I would find it rather odd if her influence had faded entirely by A5. Just so long as she isn't still the prime motivator, she (or her memory) could have some place in the game without me finding it bad. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

Avernum 4 - 7.63 (10.0/1.0) in General
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Friday, February 16 2007 10:53 Profile #6 I've played, but didn't get immersed in it enough to believe my rating might not be fair. In any case, for precedence, and to see how the score can be thoughtfully achieved, visit The Lyceum Now for the rating: The size, coding quality and lack of glitches, were big factors in the enjoyability. The game was professionally done. I thought the double layer of the cave 'surface' and then the 'warrens' beneath it, were a good idea, and could have seen wider implementation. On the other hand, the plot wasn't immersive to me, the boss was the same boss as in III, as big as it was, it once more restricted the player from the outside, while not opening any new lands. It basically went back to the size of I, with some additions. The plot was fairly linear, without so many side paths that I remember which often is what made the game fun and immersive to me. It was extremely combat intensive, involving extensive slogs through pylons and brutal fortresses. Beyond all that, I still miss the Exile engine, so I'm rather biased. All of this is just player preference though. On the things that aren't according to preference it was flawless. I'll rate it a 7.5 (and that’s 3 out of 4 if you want simplicity).

Oldbiehood in General
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Friday, February 16 2007 08:14 Profile #60 It seems that some people never become 'oldbies' or to follow Aran's description, elders of the family. Some might just be that reclusive uncle that still lives in Grannies attic, but pokes his head into family affairs sometimes, or the somewhat crazed cousin that everyone dislikes when he comes by, which isn't often... etc. They aren't respected oldbies but over a large period of time they are a stable part of the forums. If someone had obviously been active for an extended period of time before I joined, I would consider them 'oldbies'. That tends to allow people in the # 2999 and less range. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

The Chosen Ending - Geneforge 5 in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Sunday, February 11 2007 12:14 Profile #31 quote: Originally written by Skrat: Perhaps the next storyline has already been laid. Throughout the Geneforge series, there have references to past civilizations that have been either waylaid or gone extinct. These have been referred to as being extremely powerful though much mystery surrounds them. Maybe Jeff can build a plot around a re-discovery of an old hidden race (neither Shaper or Drakon) that has been disturbed by post-war expansion. This could open doors to all kinds of creations and magical beings that are set loose upon the rest of the world and it is up to the Shapers (or Rebels) to defend us from their destruction. They could even be lead by Spectral beings.... I trust that there will be more adventures and conquests, and I will be ready to enlist! Reminds me of Avernum. New, extremely powerful alien race, hmmm. I haven't played G4 yet, but I think I'd be likely to agree with Stareye, something fresh would be nice. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

What attracted you here? in General
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Sunday, February 11 2007 11:46 Profile #26 I got Exile 1, perhaps 11 years ago, and then a significant number of years later rediscovered it, and lurked here a bit, and then some years later again decided I wanted to post a bit. Probably had a question or something, don't quite remember. I'm drawn back, time after time, though still rather generous intervals, by the amusment I find in reading these boards. Posting on them is a bit less satisfactory, because it often requires some thought to be sensible. Now.. back to lurking I go.

So I guess that would make me fit 'Sporadic Lamer' the most. The closest I see to an Ent on these boards might be Mysterious Man (Mystery Man?

Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Tuesday, November 14 2006 12:13 Profile #197 Was recently reading... well I forget the name, but it had a somewhat interesting premise, that made it essential for aliens to abduct ancient Romans and to use them as troops against other primitive species. I'll probably edit this when I remember the title and author, but even though it made no lasting impression (hence the loss of recall on the name) it was somewhat enjoyable as light reading.

Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Thursday, August 24 2006 05:25 Profile #60 The Eragon books were something to waste your boredom hours on. I fear I don't even remember the plot now, it really didn't seem... unique in any real way. More like random pieces of random novels got thrown together in an attempt to make something new. But if you wanted something good, I'd suggest Stackpole's Talion or as someone already said, any of the Fiest books. Haven't been doing much reading (or at least not of fiction, I don't think science textbooks count in 'sci-fi') lately though, so no up to date suggestions. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

Worst game possible: First round in Richard White Games
Sticky Infiltrator Member # 4256	written Wednesday, July 19 2006 05:44 Profile #34 Homeland definitely has some of those very frustrating things described. For instance, if you kill something on top of a lever, you can only click on the body of whatever you killed, not the lever, quite possible ruining the entire game. It also had enough of a plot that it made it seem like it would be worth overcoming the difficulties of interface and combat. By the time you realize this is unlikely to be true, you've spent too much time playing, and don't want to waste it all by not finishing the demo. As you approach the last battle in the game/demo you kill a monster in the wrong spot and make the game unbeatable. Or you accidentally overwrite your only save file when your dog is somehow stuck on the other side of a bridge getting killed (which ends the game), and there's nothing you can do. It also has some of the auto camera stuff if I remember correctly. So yeah, Homeland is a fairly good nomination for this. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."
