Don't mind Kylilin; he's tries the long walk off the short pier and feels it's good for everyone to do at least once. :D

And as hot as it is here, if I had a short pier over some nice cold water, I walk in a heartbeat.

As for you question:

American McGee's Alice - Alice in Wonderland, twisted and surreal. Cool game. You don't get a health meter, you get a sanity meter. Cam packaged with a game called Undying that was okay, better if you like games filled with puzzles. They where cheap...

Always fun in the mass destruction catagory: Unreal Tournement - running about, blasting people madly. Excellent bot support, feels almost like your playing against humans, not bots. Tons of mods and levels for it out there, my favs being Tactical Ops (Special Forces Vs Terrorists), and Unreal Fortress. Also, comes with an editor, though no documentation for it.

or place yourself down on a nice place like a lake (make a nice walk there.. people are always too lazy to walk.. )

grab a book and read it..

my advice..

tom sawyer
fury
around the world in 80 days
the adventures of Huck Finn
anything else by J. Verne

or some like .. the discovery of the chaos..

this one might be useful, too:

Basketball, a short compendium.

I'm currently hunting Dark Angel: Skin Game. I've read Before the Dawn, and I have After the Dark sitting on a shelf taunting me, but it's part 3 of the trilogy. :(

And none of you care.

Do not attempt to adjust your set. This is a Streaming Freedom Video bulletin. This cable hack will last exactly sixty seconds. It cannot be traced. It cannot be stopped, and it is the only free voice left in this city.

The books are spinoff/continuations of the Dark Angel TV series, one of the very few good SF series on TV (naturally, it was cancelled after one season). Produced by FOX (thus, the short lifespan), and created by James "Titanic" Cameron, the show starred Jessica Alba as Max, a "genetically engineered superbabe" who escaped as a child from Project Manticore and has been living on the run ever since. When she meets Logan Cale, renegade cyber-journalist, she stops running. :shads2:

Space Channel is going to be re-airing the series starting tonight, so you can become reacquainted if you're in Canada.

I have found Skin Game, just in time for it to go into The BoxTM, where it will remain until I have finished reading the eight novels for my one course this semester.

Also in The BoxTM is the finale of the trilogy; After the Dark, as well as Sir Apropos, of Nothing by Peter David, and another book called Matrix Warrior, which is probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Matrix novelization. :shads2:

Yeah...books are usually good weapons with which to beat back boredom. I highly recommend anything by Roger Zelazny or Stephen Brust, myself. Or Thomas Harlan. Or Steven Hawking.

And since this is my first post and I didn't see a "Hi, my name is:" thread..ur...hi. Y'all can call me Umaa, I s'pose. I followed Pedro's advice and came over here, since apparently it's where all the cool people lurk.

*stares at Ped*

Another good way to kill boredom is to suddenly realize at four that you were supposed to be at work at noon. It leads to at least forty minutes of running around screaming "aw hells" and such.

And let us not forget watching just how slowly the download of demos goes on your computer...that's always fun.

:newbie:

Yeah, Pedro. It's a September Newbie; they tend to turn up this time of year when everyone gets their first PCs/first private net access. They either grow up, wander off, or get themselves killed. Just ignore it and maybe it'll go away.

'Sides, hir profile says s/he's (*does math*) 11. Not exactly a University-level English major.

Wow, BeastMaster. How'd you know that's how I looked? *chuckle* The hair was definitely standing on end.

And just out of curiosity...how do the newbies get killed off? I'd sorta like to avoid that fate, if at all possible.

newbies dont get killed, they just die

But...but...

I dun wanna die!!

*glares at Pedro* You never said anything about newbies having to die when you told me to come here!!

Just a casual aside...anyone have any suggestions for a gal starting in on her first runthrough of Dark Forces 2? (And please don't kill me...I'm a cheap-ass and relatively new to the SW gaming thing)

I never had to die when I first joined o.o I'll just go.. and eh.. die in your place, or something.

And as a hint, don't expect to have the Force(or a saber) by your side for the first 5 or so levels ^.^ But all in all JK's a very do-able game, challenging, aye, but not to hair pulling frustrating levels. XD

Of course you will, of course you will . . .:rolleyes:

Anyhow, i suggest you stick with guns, its more challenging and more fun than the 4 different motion swings of the lightsaber.
But you should use the force powers though, you actually have to at certain points in the game.

hm, basic, forward, backward, sideways, alternative, that's 5 XD that and the Saber Battle X3 mod more than doubles that amount. And adds two sabers ^.^ makes it so much more fun. (that and I'm a sucker for sabers)

We already knew this, Pedro-san. ^.^

Thanks for the advice, folks...Though now I've gotta find someone that still has the mods...all Fileplanet has is a trio of saber mods.

Unt...You guys have definitely been watching too much Back to the Future. Yeah. I'm gonna make like a tree and leave now...

The best general JK/MotS advice I can give is to remember your line-of-sight. You don't have to be directly behind something to use it as cover. When your enemies are behind cover, so are you. Keep your back to a wall, 'cause that's one less direction you can be attacked from.

When dealing with grenade-throwers, run in close as quickly as possible. When dealing with railgunners, jink from side to side (and hop).

In all cases, prioritize your enemies. Take out the most dangerous/distracting ones first so you'll be able to concentrate on the others.

You can also do some impressive sniping in first-person, with the crosshairs. If you can see it, you can hit it, even if "it" is just a tiny smear of pixels at extreme range.

Let us know when you get off Nar Shaddaa; different battlefields call for different tactics.

Wow. It's a science. *chuckle* I haven't gotten very far yet...mostly because I've been working on a paper all week (and will be this weekend), so there hasn't been any time to play. At all.
