Video Games / Star Wars: Episode III
« on: May 10, 2005, 03:23:41 PM »
Just bought this game yesterday.  I enjoy it.  There are some unique clips from the movie, and you get to battle many of the major vilians.  It is pretty cool.

Role-Playing Games / Dragon Lords of Melnibone
« on: February 25, 2005, 11:39:27 AM »
So our group has started another new campaign.  It is set in the Young Kingdoms, as created by Micheal Moorcock.

The group is a motely assortment of chaos worshipers.  What follows is a short description of each character, but hopefully the players will post more info on their charachers before I post the first segment of the campaign.

Moredew is playing a half Pan Tangian/Nadskorian cancer mage who worships Narjhan, the lord of beggars.  I will let Moredew give the description of his character, but I will warn you that you shouldn't eat before reading it.

Morgan is playing a Pan Tangian mariner who worships Pyray, the tentacled whisperer of impossible secrets.  He is currently the captain of catamaran; such is the life of one low on the totem pole.

Rican was playing an obese war-priest of Jubilex, a chaos deity of ooze and slime (as taken from D&D), but he didn't last very long.  Now he is playing a swashbuckling Pan Tangian follower of Balo, the Chaos Jester.

Rants and Stuff / Women's Clothing Questions
« on: January 27, 2005, 03:25:00 PM »
As a man, I am often times confused when it comes to the choices that women make.  My most recent bout of confusion came only several moments ago.  I was sitting in the lounge preparing for my Constitutional Law class at 2 when I noticed a fellow student walk by wearing a pair of sweat pants with "UMKC LAW" emblazoned on her...ummm...how to say this without being offensive to our female members...ummm... rear end.  She then turned around and I became aware that she must really be a fan of the UMKC Kangaroos as her cut off baby-T that was 3 sizes too small had the UMKC mascot and "GO ROOS" emblazoned on the small amount of cloth that was covering her... umm... torso... yeah,  that's it.  Torso.

Anyway, as I sat there I realized that this might put me in a bad situation.  After all, most women don't like it when you stare at certain parts of their anatomy.

Then I began wondering why women wear clothing that inherently draws attention to specific parts of their bodies, and then complain that they are offended when the see men staring at those same parts of their bodies.  

Can the women of the forum offer any info on this issue?

Role-Playing Games / A Return to the "So what's everybody playing"
« on: October 23, 2004, 01:41:01 AM »
With the recent release of the Star Wars DVD collection, our group has decided to resurrect an old Star Wars campaign that I was GMing.  I have had a sequel campaign in the works for a number of months now, and have just held off presenting it as we were involved with other campaigns.

To be able to immerse, you, the reader, to the fullest extent, I would like to introduce you to the characters in this new campaign by offering you some background information on them from the previous campaign.  What follows:

(1) An overview of each character (included in this post),  
(2) An overview of the sector in which the campaign predominantly takes place (to be added shortly), and
(3) A brief outline of the events (notice the usage of the term "brief," and remember that that term is relative).

Hopefully you all will enjoy the future posts.  Feel free to make any comments you desire, and, for those who have played in the campaign, please consult me via my personal email or the phone if I fail to include something that you feel would be vital to setting the stage for the new campaign.  Remeber, this is just a synopsis to give everyone else a backdrop for where the new campaign is coming from.  If you, and others on the site, decide that the notes should be turned into a full-length novel, we can, maybe, talk to EUOL and see what we can come up with.  But that is for a later time.

THE CHARACTERS:

Ryze Marlboros:  A male Devaronian Jedi Guardian who has idolized Mace Winduu since he first heard stories of the Master's combat prowess.  His agility and dexterity are rivaled by few in the galaxy, and are almost legendary for a Devaronian, especially for one of such tender years.  His ultimate goal is to perfect himself through mastery of the lightsaber and his use of the Force.

Kree-Lorn Gwar:  A male Nautolan Jedi Consular who has long dreamed of bringing those who violate the laws of the Republic to justice.  His keen sense of smell, and patient, yet charismatic, demeanor have illustrated that he would be well suited to the path of a Jedi Investigator; an avenue where he might best serve the Force and the Republic.

Eeth Fryahst:  A male Zabrack Jedi Guardian who, as a young child, watched his father in an unarmed combat competition.  Immediately following the completion of the competition, a representative of The Jedi Order approached Eeth's father about his son's potential as a member of the Jedi Order.  Honored to have his first born selected to such a prestigious organization, he was more than willing to allow the Order to train Eeth.  With a final hug, Eeth left his father, bloodied and bruised, but bursting with pride, and began his training as a Jedi.  This image has never left his mind, and guided him to excel in unarmed martial combat as a padawan.

Video Games / Star Trek Star Fleet Command Volume 3
« on: December 20, 2002, 05:00:02 PM »
I was wondering if anyone else has had the opportunity to play this game yet.  It is not much different than Volume 2, but uses the Next Generation technology which offers a little more excitement.

The ability to customize ship weapons, sheilds, and other accessories has added an excellent logistical challenge to the game, and the ability to select different officers to upgrade your ship through their experience has been a great added benefit to the game.

My major problem with the game is that the pointer for the mouse on the screen is hardly ever complete.  In essence there is only the bottom half of the arrow.  This causes a problem when trying to select certain devices, and greatly impairs selecting sheilds for reinforcement.

One other concern that I have heard is that the only way to play the Borg Campaign is if you bought the game from Best Buy. I haven't gotten the ability to explore this aspect of the game yet as I am still working my way through it, but I would be greatly disappointed if this was the case.

All in all the game is relatively entertaining.
