Found this interpretation of dreaming you are a character in a game:

To see or dream that you are a character in a video game, suggests that you are feeling controlled and manipulated by others. You feel that you have no control over your actions or are not taking responsibility for them.

Heres the interpretation of seeing aliens:

To see aliens in your dream , signifies that you are having difficulties adapting and adjusting to your new surroundings. You are feeling "alienated" and invaded. You are also having difficulties in how to handle or deal with a certain situation or person. On a psychological level, seeing aliens may represent an encounter with an unfamiliar or neglected aspect of your own self.

Wouldn't call it the world's BEST cat fight as it lacked two crucial components.

1. Neither woman had any of their clothes ripped off, exposing their underwear and/or flesh.
2. There was no convenient inflatable pool full of jelly that they could of wound up wrestling in.

I'll put this really simply so everyone can understand...

Who the fuck cares???

Either you play or you don't, end of story. Graphics aren't everything.

Watched Southland Tales and I am Legend last night on DvD.  Last cinema movie i saw i think was The Spiderwick Chronicles.

The Bioshock setting was cool, would love to see it in a movie, something different for a change.

If "Decline Duels" is checked in your options then uncheck it.

 

Problem is that can be turned on and off instantly. By setting a timer on the 'flag' you would force those who want to pvp to remain part of the pvp-world for as long as the timer is ticking. I think if you want to kill other players you should have to open yourself up to being ganked for a certain period of time.

 

To get want you really want your only real choice is the PvP server.  If there was an open PvP option for the PvE servers then it would kind of defeat the purpose of having seperate servers.

How would it defeat the purpose? PvP servers are 'always on' pvp. The flag option would allow people to do this when they feel like it and it wouldn't destroy the PvE aspects. There is no good reason NOT to have this PvP flag option. EQ1 had something similar what worked quite well, and there were no problems with having separate pvp servers for that game.

As i said, if you want open PvP stick to the PvP servers.  We don't want this PvP shit on the PvE servers, thats why there is a choice.

You mean to tell me that tanking is not very important anymore? Or is it that leather and chain wearers can do the tanking job just fine and guardians aren't as desired?

 

Just bought the game btw.

The chain and leather wearers can still tank too and again would probably be picked over a Guardian for a group as they can do the job plus dish out a lot more damage than the Guardian.

If you want a plate tank type class then go with the Zerker or the Shadowknight, at least that way you will have the best of both worlds, good tank and good soloer for when your not grouping.

Otherwise a good non plate tank choice would be the Swashbuckler for chain and the monk or Bruiser for leather wearers.  All of those solo real well too and have great DPS.

Whatever you decide welcome to the game and hope you have fun.  Remember you have 7 character slots so you can experiment a little with a few different classes to see which suits you the best.

If "Decline Duels" is checked in your options then uncheck it.

If you want a guild theres a few ways to go about it.

1. Hit up the official forums, theres server specific forum which quite often has guilds recruitment threads.

2. Hit the guild button in game (U by default).  When your not in a guild this will bring up a screen with recruiting guilds listed and who to contact.

3. Just group a lot,  put on your LFG tag and you might get lucky with a guild invite from a group mate.

And my last piece of advice, ditch the Guardian unless you plan to have him high enough soon to be able to raid with.  As soloers they are not that good and they will not be picked in groups over other plate wearers, in fact chain and leather (e.g. Swashie, Monk) wearers will still get picked before a Guardian for general grouping.

Oh Flem, I forgot about South Park.  It would not be in my top three, but it's another angle on the question.  Which is your favourite, animated comedy.  I used to think it was Family Guy, but I've went off the programme for some reason.  Now I think it is South Park, its use of irony is brilliant, and more subtle than it at first seems.  Especially loved the Mormon episode, and of course the WoW one for personal reasons.

 

Hmmm...I don't know if South Park counts as a Sit-Com (Situational Comedy).  I believe it has to be real people in the show.

 

It counts.  Cartoons can be sitcoms there is no stipulation that a sitcom has to have live actors.

know nothing about EQ2,

Then don't bother posting.

Loved The Witcher.  One of the best RPG's to come out in years.

This thread is funny.

And to the OP, there are level restrictions so don't think for a second that you can be lvl 80 and go around ganking on lvl 1 players.  It wont happen. 

As far as i recall you can only attack others +/- 8 lvls from your lvl.  So bear in mind if you picked on the wrong class that might be 8 levels lower than yourself, you can still get you ass kicked.  Especially if your a caster.

I mean, c'mon, if you don't like Vista how hard is it to decide for yourself to go back and install XP.  Its not like you have any other choices. 

Yeah, it's a biiiiig joke.  I just thought I'd waste my time posting some bait for cynical assholes like yourself.

 

Look, we're not all competent computer smart guys like yourself.  If you'd like to offer people help who come and ask honest questions, then respond to the threads.  Otherwise STFU!!!

I'm trained in explosives and getting large piles of rock and rubble out of peoples way.  If you ever want some advice in that area, I would be more than happy to offer you some and do it with a helpful smile on my face.  Hell, I might even give you a hand if the price is right.  I don't mind people asking me questions when they don't understand something.  I know you think the forums are probably your place to vent after your hard day at work or maybe to just try out your lacking skills in assertiveness, but some of us are just here to have friendly discussions. 

Now to the issue at hand, im far from computer savvy, my technical knowledge is limited.  But even a five year old would know that if your not using Vista then your going to be using XP.  How hard of a choice is it.

In no particular order here are my favorites:

• Friends
• Fresh Prince of Bel - Air
• M.A.S.H
• South Park
• Two and a Half Men
• Blackadder
• Red Dwarf

New Zealand.  Friendly folk, really laid back in most parts, easy going.

actually, that isn't the case.  In the interview, he said he doesn't have any restrictions as to what he can do.  He said he didn't like the art of the zone, so you can expect the entire zone to be remodeled.  And adventuring through the zone now sucks.  I think they have learned a lot since launch and I expect it to be 100% different.

Ah nope.  Its not going to be completely remodelled.  Expect the exact same rooms, corridors etc with the exception of removing some stuff from inside (like rubbish piles that he mentioned, big deal)

Tolkien seemed to use the words Goblin and Orc interchangeably.  In the Hobbit he mostly refered to them as Goblins, then mostly used the term Orc in the LotR. 

Most of us would picture orcs as big brutish monsters, Tolkien had them smaller than humans, hunched, long arms etc, exactly how one would describe a goblin.

IMO i think in his mind they were the same creature.
