    :D and :)

    Then explain THIS! Looks like a smile to me.... I'm on to your games tails....
  2. best of luck in your travels
  3. You generally have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. Minnesota only requires one party consent for recording audio or video. So you were fine and she was being crazy Legally the contract would be legit (pencil, paper or napkins wont matter). Even verbal contacts are legally binding (just hard to enforce).
  4. TSL patcher is better but the Workshop has distinct advantages 1) it makes people aware that there are mods 2) It makes simple things easy to activate, especially for beginners. I use the HUD rescale mod from the workshop since I never need to remember to activate it
  5. I am a master at naming things: as shown by this new news post: http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/4587-new-news/

    New News

    Welcome to deadlystream.com. Today’s post will mostly be dealing with updates and information (That is what news is supposed to be, right?) The first and most important update of the day has to do with one of our wonderful staff members here on the site. Modder and Administrator extraordinaire, Sith Holocron, is moving. Since his travels will take him far (across an entire beautiful, magnificent and humble country) to Alaska he will be taking a break from his admin duties. You can read more about it in his post HERE. To fill the void left by SH you can take up and administrator concerns with Acting Administrator Fair Strides or one of our other wonderful moderators. In other news, the long Gamefront Saga appears to be finally over. Thanks in part to some quick (and legally questionable) actions by Nexusmods all of the files that could be found at the Gamefront archive are now available on Nexusmods. This is excellent news for anyone who was looking to find mods as the searching should in theory be both faster and more accurate now that it is being hosted on the Nexus servers. This means different things for different people. For modders: you can reclaim your mods by following this link and contacting them as detailed at the bottom of their post For users: You can find mods for KOTOR HERE and KOTOR 2 HERE I have also gotten an update in regards to Kotor: Aperion, a project I spoke about in a previous news post. Taylor Trotter, President and Game Director of Poem Studios responded to some emails I sent him a while back and had this to say in response to my article. 1) [as of April 29th] I have had no contact with Disney or EA. 2) The project will be released in a mod. It will require the original game and use the original voice and music files. 3) [in regards to the mod looking “Un Kotor”] If you want a shot by shot remake of KOTOR, then this is not your game and I am sorry but as artist (and I wholly believe that, video games are art and I am an artist above all) that I need to have creative liberties otherwise Apeiron becomes void, it becomes a tech project; a conversion modification where it sits as a footnote; and I cannot abide by that. I think the Old Republic definitely had a different aesthetic than the movies and exploring what that atheistic is and how people behaved is infinitely interesting. I will give you a very comical example put it proves my point. No where in KOTOR are there any toilets. Why? Who knows, maybe they didn't think of it, or maybe it was such a small thing it would have taken time and money to put in the game, but there are no toilets in KOTOR. There are in Apeiron and the reason is, is that we have the tech and the time to make KOTOR much more open and explorable. Now I'm sure most people will run past the restroom in the Taris Cantina and never think about it. But there are people who will say "Wait...toilets don't exist in Star Wars...its feels too...normal." And I get that, but (and I kid you not) there is a Wookieepedia article on toilets in Star Wars, and we have them because I'm using the same rule I've had for the past decade while playing DnD, if you can argue a point as why something works or why something is there 99% I'll allow it... We do not take artistic ethos lightly. Thanks again for reading. Please stay tuned to my Youtube channel and deadlystream in the near future as I have some interesting projects in the work. As always, have an excellent day.
  7. My girlfriend has decided to become a Pokemon master and I am getting dragged along for the ride. I will be getting exercise.

  8. Welcome. It's always nice to see a new face. If you need help installing mods or anything of the sort just let me know. I have a whole slew of youtube videos on the topic to walk you though everything.

  12. Someone asked me to review "all these new mods over on the nexus" not sure if I should be worried or flattered

    1. Xuul

      Xuul

      That would be... difficult

      Given the number of robe reskins we used to get at KotORFiles? Yeah, just a bit.

      Say that you have installed all the mods at once and say you're about to start the game. Then end the video with a BSOD.

       

      But seriously, I think you might want to hold off reviewing any mod that lists "GameFront Archiver" as the uploader - as it isn't listing the official mod maker as the controller of the mod.

  15. It could have been longer... My vote is for. Thrak Farelle Presents: A Deadlystream Modding Exclusive: Hassat Hunter's Kreia to Dxun Tomb & Atton to Onderon Light Side Modified and Reuploaded and Rereleased With Permission from the Original Author: The Definitive Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords Edition: Version 1.0.1: Redux
  16. I'm just going to copy my post from the subreddit since I cant be bothered to type it all again. It is not exactly an answer to your question but here it is: A lot of misinformation here. I hate to seem like the bad guy but most of what I am reading is just wrong. I want to try to clear a few things up. There was no "deal with Valve". They only thing Valve has done is allow to release the game on Steam. Here is a relevant quote from Ryan Morrison "Steam works the same as the Apple app store, where they basically let everything up, and only take things down when they get a report under the DMCA take-down procedure." Steam lacks even the most basic quality control . So them allowing a game on the platform, even an unlicensed game isn't anything new. In the past, there have been cases of games on steam that are complete and total rip offs of other peoples IP's. So the project is not legit- the only way it will stay up if the rights holders continue to turn a blind eye (something that will be less likely the more popular the project becomes). This also has little to do with Kotor Aperion in that: Frostwire's game is released on Steam. This makes it more visible and seem more official (especially with this talk of a "deal" with valve) Galaxy in turmoil competes with a fairly recent game and might cause a (perceived) loss of sales for EA. This can incentives their lawyers to pay attention to the project. Even if they let this slide, for the time being; they can at any time for any reason (or no reason) shut down projects using their IP. Take the Nostalrius WoW server shutdown. They let it slide for over a year before pulling the plug. Aperion is attempting to release as a mod (somehow). Rightsholders tend to be a bit more lenient on mods. Not that it makes Aperion legitimate at all Overall, I think people need to not get their hopes up. Things like this are cool but they tend not to go anywhere. I might be wrong since Disney/EA have been very silent on the issue; but until an official deal is made the house of cards could collapse at any moment with no recourse.
