Sorry, you are correct. I got the info from bundles that are being presold at that price. A feature (not a tech spec) that no one else has. Perhaps you are not familiar with the technical aspect of backwards compatibility. The reason PS2 could play all PS1 games is because they included a...

I generally view neutral as doing evil for the purpose of good. Balancing things out I would personally consider as an evil person doing good to clear their own conscience.

Yes, and 360 will have an HD-DVD drive that with the system, will still cost less than PS3. Blu-ray has no advantage over HD-DVD, is more expensive, and doesn't actually exist. If there is going to be a new disc format, it's going to be HD-DVD unless the PS3 sells enough units (ignoring...

I was only speaking of major players competing head-on with similar generation technology. If a second-comer has significantly advanced the technology, it's not really competing in the same way.

Yes, but UMD was PSP only. Blu-ray will be available as a standalone player as well as game system. In addition, consoles tend to have better market penetration than handhelds (gameboy being the major exception).

Intriguing story. Encounters that make sense in the context of the adventure and are exciting encounters with something special that sets them apart (alternatively, they can be short). Bonus points for sneaking in a puzzle that actually makes sense existing (not an easy feat). Something for...

By the time we have an affirmative answer as to whether or not Blu-ray failed, fab costs will have dropped dramatically just due to the advancement of technology. I wouldn't expect this to cause a price hike for PS3 at any point, though it might cause a delay in a price drop (something many...

I can only recall one instance of a console war not won by the first released. I don't expect PS3 to do well for many more reasons than the price of the system. 1. Price of system 2. Price of games 3. No added value (almost no one cares about blu-ray) over competition - developers have stated...

The Blu-Ray is more expensive argument is the excuse Sony has been waiting for to hike the cost of games. There is absolutely, positively, no reason every game should be that expensive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with releasing games on cheap DVDs, and nothing stopping any company from...

That's not really a Firefox thing. It's a NOT Internet Explorer thing. IE is the only browser with any kind of following that doesn't support tabs. And the IE7 beta does support tabs.

I DM usually. Only one of my characters has been involved in a romance and it was heterosexual. Never had a homosexual player. Only one homosexual character, and that was a lawful evil character, so romance isn't exactly the right word for it.

Sure. Unless they worship a deity of healing or protection, I don't see any reason a cleric should be compelled to heal their comrades unless their personal ethos dictates so.

Divide the XP required for the magic item, etc. by the character's effective character level. Divide this number by 1,000. This is the percentage the character is behind everyone else. 5th level character makes something requiring 1,000 XP. 1,000 / 5 = 200 200 / 1000 = 0.2 20% of a level...

Go to the directory similar to C:\Documents and Settings\<username or All Users>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\ Create a new file in there named "Show Desktop.scf" Open the file and paste the following in there:

I don't force the issue, but mostly my players don't come up with background that don't fit their level. On occasion, when a PC has some sort of background that indicates experience, I'll start that character a level higher than everyone else to reflect it. Most people I know don't start...

Not free, but http://allofmp3.com/ has just about anything you want, encoded in whatever format you want (mp3, wma, lossless, selectable bitrate, variable or constant bitrate) sold by the megabyte. 192kb wma will give you just about CD quality for about $1.80/disc. You can buy songs...

On the note of treating it as a weapon, one could allow the offhand shield attack to be used as the DC for a single attack if it exceeds the user's normal AC. The attack would be chosen by the use before the attack is made. If you gain more than one attack per round with the shield, you could...

Well, my reasoning is that when you watch someone fight with a sword and shield, they are oftentimes trying to use the shield aggressively to push aside the opponent's sword and/or shield to create an opening for attack. Just seemed like a reasonable ability for shields to do, even though in...

I use MediaWiki and Notepad++ (great tabbed replacement for notepad)

Given these comments, I'm not sure why thri-kreen always comes up as a bad race for PCs. I personally thought they were very intriguing for exactly the same reasons you mention for the warforged. I like warforged, too, as a concept. I just wish they had decided whether they were living or...
