Dammit, sorry about that. I do tend to forget about the extra N in that word. I'll be more careful next time. I hate misspelling words. You are right I never noticed that on their game box but their BCMG page though does spell it right. I guess they have my syndrome they sometimes forget the extra N. Anyway, Looks like Akella is doing pretty good for itself. Ubisoft, JoWood (gothic 2), Team17 (worms), Running with Scissors (Postal 2) among others are using them as the Russian distribution so you are in very good company. I know BCMG (hah didn't have to spell Millennium there did I ooppps I just used it ) will do very well there.

I was checking out the akella web site to see if there were any patches for Pirates of the Carribean but nothing so I went and checked out their other games and low and behold Akella is publishing the game in russia http://www.akella.com.. when you get to the main page look on the left and bring the mouse cursor over SIMULATIONS it's listed there. I tried to post the link right to BC page but it kept coming up blank when I clicked on it in my post. I like the box art better than the american release. Don't know if this was mentioned anywhere else in the BC forums.

quote:Originally posted by Sebbish: KOTOR is amazing. If you have an Xbox, stop reading this and go buy it now. The combat is really cool and fun to watch. There are plenty of quests and stuff to keep you occupied for a long time. The graphics are pretty good, but not the greatest, though I love that shiny effect that armor and weapons have. Every character actually talks and the voice acting is good. I also like how each of the party members have their own little story which you can listen to if want to. I was going to wait for the PC version, but I couldn't wait another 2 months, and besides, I heard the PC version isn't going to be that much better anyway. Some games are much better on PC like Morrowind, because of the mod support, but I don't think KOTOR is going to have any of that. I give it a 9/10. I like NWN it's one of the very rare RPG's that I do like along with DarkStone (If anyone remembers that one) and since KOTOR is made by the same company I'm sure it's going to rock. Glad to see a 9/10 it makes the wait for the game worth it.

okay here is a fan club web site for that video most versions are on there http://www.jedimaster.net/.. You know something he looks like me when I slipped in the bathtub fighting for dear life with the shower curtain and rod. . Anyway, damn why didn't I do that this kid is gunna be famous. The clip also appeared on TechTV's Unscrewed with Martin Sargent.

Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York. Dr Emile Lazzaro in Buckaroo Banzai oh yeah and the guy who plays Red on that 70's show when he was in Robocop. Cool finally, I was waiting for that mention of Darth Vader. I didn't want to post him first wanted to see how long it would take before some mentioned him. What's so scary about Darth Vader is that I've know quite a few people that were like him. "Appology Accepted (place your name here)" then choked to death over a stupid mistake. And let's not forget Khan Noonian Singh from Star Trek:The Wrath of Khan. My favorite ST movie other than the movie about the whales George and Gracie.

Yeah death sucks. Having been thru many pets (mostly dogs) but luckily they died of old age and not early from some nasty infection or virus. It's like loosing a member of the family. But they still live on in our memories well that is until it's our time to bite the big one.

quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: Here is a novel approach. Lets watch it BEFORE we trash it. I've taken some heat for trashing shit I havent seen yet and MAYBE deservedly so. At least I saw trailers, interviews, and in the case of Charlies Angels2 (officially a bomb) saw the first movie. But we are trashing something that NO ONE has saw one minute of. Watch it first! Yup that's what I'm doing. Can't make a judgement on it till it's seen.

quote:Originally posted by Sebbish: This demo was released a while ago, it's not that good trust me. All it has for single player is light cycles, and for MP just the disc arena. I wanted to see some SP levels and some more guns. I like the graphics though, all neon and everything, it's very cool. I must be getting slow. Didn't find out about it until the other day. Yeah, it is kinda of a flimsy demo. I played last night online and there are two games in the MP light cycle and Disk arena. The single player has just the light cycle. I like the light cycle game better since there is one problem with the disk arena and that is the jumping pheens it's almost impossible to hit someone with the disk while they do that and some keep hiding in the IO stream you can see out but you can't see in. I had hoped that the disk arena was like the one in the movie ringed cicles that levitate over a bottomless pit.

Get it right here http://www.ferrago.co.uk/downloads/file/14 very fast dloading. I averaged an 87kbs/s the file is 160mb. Just got done playing it and this game is TRON can't wait for the full game. High detail setup they recommend a P 2ghz, 256mb ram, 128mb video card. Luckily I have requiremtns for those steep High Detail settings. There are also Low and Medium I tried them both but High Detail gives it that TRON look.

Yep, I agree look what happened to Sea Dogs II when Disney came a knocking at that door the game became Pirates of the Carribean. I don't blame 'em though the money does talk I may or may not do the same thing in their shoes however I would let my pc fan base know what's the deal with the console release first. Anyway, it's still annoying .

quote:Originally posted by Epsilon 5: I've seen that about a week ago in the local newspaper .. they ask 75k just from the parents who they deem indirectly responsible of the acts of their children (those who digitised the tape) All I gotta say is everyone is to sensitive nowadays. If that was me, I'd be cashing in on the whole ordeal. Maybe a spot on David Letterman's Stupid Human Tricks segment. Anyway, this goes back to IF YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE SEEN DON'T TAPE IT AND IF YOU DO TAPE IT DISPOSE OF IT PROMPTLY. Remember what happened to Richard Nixon when he kept his tapes.....

Yeah, it's getting pretty annoying with these game companies who've made their fortunes from PC gamers to snub them with first release for console or just console only (Duke Nukem comes to mind as an example). Anyway, if you've played NeverWinter Nights there is your KOTOR. KOTOR is made by Bioware the same company that made NeverWinter Nights. I've only seen the trailer and I looked at the grass and it's the same routine. It is an RPG just like NWN and the fight scheme is the same from what others have told me. This is from lucasarts itself: Force Jump The Jedi knows that if diplomacy fails, combat must be swift and decisive. When an opponent at range is targeted with a melee attack, this feat allows Guardians to make a quick series of jumps and rolls to close the distance almost instantly. This feat is automatic when targeting opponents with a melee attack from more than 10 meters away. Prerequisite: Jedi Guardian You can check out more here http://www.lucasarts.com/products/swkotor/G_feats.html I had hoped it was going to be like morrowinds kind if RPG but it's more like NWN. quote:Originally posted by Cruis.In: actually Kiran I've followed this one a little bit. Look at screens, movies, news on the site etc... I don't have a console so I am waiting for the PC version to come out, which will be Fall...which is retarded, since it was PC only at first...or not I can't remember. It sounds really good. I am glad from reading your response they appear to have pulled it off. But I assume you pulled that all nighter down the stretch to finish it...but you had a game going for a while right? How many hours in all for you the first time.. Ive read about all the light side and dark side paths or even inbetween paths you can follow, depending on choices. one thing that concerned me is the combat, is it directly interface...meaning you push button and gun shoots or sabre swings...or is it like Final Fantasy games where you just pick a target to attack and the battle plays out on the screen... just a little detail from you on the battle would be nice, before i make up my mind to buy it. damn these people with these computer games!!

None of those movies listed so far, as bad as they are, can't hold a candle to PLAN 9 from outer space....

Okay, there I am minding my own buisness today and along came a bus with a movie add on it Freddy Vs. Jason August 20th. Here a site with the trailer. http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingsoon/f/freddyvsjason.htm Did they show this commercial during Pirates of the carribean? I missed most of the previews when I saw POTC. Don't know about you guys but I think Freddy is gunna kick Jason's butt. I read on another web site that the working title for the movie was A Nightmare on friday the 13th I dunno I like that title.

quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: Lost In Space. can you beleive Matt LeBlanc only got this role after his bud Matthew Perry turned it down? I cant belive anyone at the studio watching dailies really thought this movie was going to be good. Yet I still own it and watch it a least twicw a year. Hey, leave me outa this .

quote:Originally posted by Marvin: quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: Check this out http://www.wirelessdevnet.com/channels/pda/apr072003.html Do you suppose engineers at NASA plan to use this "software" with any of their space probes?. Hahahah, they probably have been using it that's why the last few mars probes crashed. BSOD!!! Blue screen of death not enough time for a reboot while on decent to mars....

quote:Originally posted by Spindoktor: Just got back from PotC. Awesome movie. Depp as expected stole the show. Kiera Knightly is easy on the eyes. Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Winona Ryder with long hair? 10/10 why not. sorry about the double post guys but the time ran out for editing the previous post. Anyway I do hope you at least stayed for the credits.

quote:Originally posted by Commander Elio Jason: yeah haunted mansion looks cool. no i didn't stay for the credits. i never do(except for the Matrix.) what so special? a long listing of actors? No, but you missed the rest of the ending to the movie. That's all I'll say I don't want to reveal a spoiler . You know I'm starting to feel a little special here one of the very few probably world wide that watched the movie past the credits and knows how the movie really ends... quote:Just got back from PotC. Awesome movie. Depp as expected stole the show. Kiera Knightly is easy on the eyes. Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Winona Ryder with long hair? Yep guess so. Winona don't come close to her. [ 07-20-2003, 11:39 PM: Message edited by: LostInSpace ]

quote:Originally posted by Commander Elio Jason: i just saw the movie last night. 10/10 i'd say it's a perfect movie. i found nothing i didn't like(and i especially liked the scenes they did that were from the ride too.) is it just me or are the previews section getting longer and longer? I missed most of the previews got there just in time to see the preview of the haunted mansion movie coming out with eddie murphy. Did you stay for the credits?

A 30 mins credit listing? Well it felt like it, more like 5-10 min maybe all I know is that it was damn long.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Whats so special about the credits and what'd I miss? Like I need a reason to go see it again. Oh you are one of those that don't stay for the credits. You see they give people that do that easter eggs. Anyway, it's what comes up after the credits . Not all movies do that it's hit or miss with that. Yes, go see it again and this time stay for the 30 min credit listing LOL. I won't say what it is....
