    I want to occasionally discuss politics on ENWorld

    Disclaimer: I'm not a moderator/administrator/guy with official capacity. I believe that in-character or in-game religion/politics can be discussed. I recall this question being asked before and it was allowed. Just don't let it parallel real-world situations. For instance, debating the...

    minmax Baldur's Gate 2

    If you're looking for some cheap action, try a Kensai/Thief dual-class. At high thief levels, when you get the epic abilities, you can choose "Use Anything" to be able to equip any piece of equipment. This includes armor that you would otherwise be prohibited from using by being a Kensai. I...

    Encounters with the Supernatural

    Well, I've got another one, and it's a little long. This happened within the past month, when my great-grandmother passed away. A Visit from my Great-Grandparents I was laying in bed when I felt it. A presence infringing on the edge of my consciousness. At once, I knew what was...

    You dweebs are in trouble now!

    I await the arrival of NinjaCat and PirateDog, to complete the circle. Kinda like all the combinations of Law/Chaos with Good/Evil. But what's the neutral zone between cat and dog? Or pirate and ninja? Or all four? I'm confused...

    Looking at a few Old-School Games, advice please

    Let me add my hat to the ring of those professing the greatness of the Baldur's Gate line. These are quite possibly the best games I've ever played, and definitely stand the test of time. The storyline is really cool, too. And yes, you should play BG1 first. It adds so much to the game and...

    [Help] C++, how to show full decimals, i.e. 10.500 ? [answered]

    Yea, setprecision() is what I'm looking for, but it's not working for me. I'm sure it's something trivial that I'm missing too. And yes, this is homework, and C++ is the only thing I'm familiar with. I'm a math major, not computer science. Dropped CompSci like a hot potato; I play on...

    [Help] C++, how to show full decimals, i.e. 10.500 ? [answered]

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with the printf() function, I was taught only cout and ofstream. Thanks anyway. :) Some expanded info: I know that what I'm looking for is a one-time thing. You either call a function or set a flag, and it stays for the rest of the program (well, I guess you could...

    [Help] C++, how to show full decimals, i.e. 10.500 ? [answered]

    Need a little help for a program I have due tomorrow... I need to know how to make decimal numbers display in full using C++ (devC++ from www.bloodshed.net , compiler). For instance, with: float x1 = 1.0; I want to code this: cout << x1 << endl; and have it display: 1.00000 not this: 1.0...

    Hurricane Isabel and ENWorlders

    Andrew. That was a heck of a storm. I still remember being without power, lying on a matress in the hall in the middle of the house. I recall that my grandfather, who has never shown even the slightest bit of worry about weather, looked down-right scared of Andrew. We lost a few branches...

    Return of the King movie trailer info.

    Who else thinks this is a poorly-disguised ploy to drive ticket sales for Secondhand Lions? The better question, though, is how many of us are going to go just to see the trailers? :D (darn, fanboy-bait succeeds again!)

    Whither Diablo 3?

    Not too long ago, they had a lot of posts on the Battle.net forums showing video game sales ranks. Even in, IIRC, April - June of this year, DII routinely made the top ten weekly sales lists. They were usually in the 4th-8th place area, but it was consistent sales. So, yea, DII still brings...

    Idea: How to sell adventures...

    Add to that the following: - Interconnect the adventures, but don't make them inter-dependent. Sorta like the Adventure Path modules from WotC; they had things in them that could be used either as Easter Eggs, major plot points, or simply general background filler. - Mixture of Dungeon Crawl...

    Why all the hate for the Enterprise theme song

    Heh, I do the same thing, but because I absolutely love the song! I don't care for the re-mix, though. It loses its feeling, its heart, and replaces it with a new tune.
