  1. Found a land map for Alderaan in the EaW files - if I can figure out how to put it back and sync it with a new space map, I feel a restoration on its way.

  2. Does anyone have a copy of Imperial Civil War 2.0 (for EaW) they can PM me? I've tried to get both the installer and the zip file from ModDB, but FireFox crashes and the download stops partway through every time (also, I can't delete the incomplete installer - apparently it's in use by another program. Does anyone know a way to fix this?)

  3. I've read the Force Storm arc (plus #0) - it's very good. I've got Prisoner of Bogan #2, and I think #1 and #3 are in my current reserve at my comic book shop (I couldn't get in when the arc started, so had to phone up - phoned a bit too late, and I had to ask for #1 when I next picked up my standing order).
  4. Gave a lecture on the rise and fall of the Infinite Empire on the way home today. Intended to talk about the formation of the Republic.

      Who did you gave the lecture to?

      A friend of mine who lives near me (I can no longer remember why I was giving a lecture).

      Ah, I see. For a moment there I thought you were giving a lecture to yourself. Anyway, carry on, it's almost 3 in the morning, I can't think of an original way to finish this joke.

  5. Learning Huttese (found Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide in a charity shop).

  6. I'm restarting my Smuggler on Red Eclipse, as I'm way too underlevelled for my current planet (15 on Nar Shaddaa - if I move I'll be killed), and Scoundrel sounds more interesting than Gunslinger - so yeah, look for a Smuggler named Darutin.
  7. Watchmen Ultimate Cut is an excellent film - of all films based on written material, it stayed closest to the original.

      The ending is QUITE different in the comic.

      I prefer the movie's ending to be honest. Had a lot of problems with the original.

      I agree with SH - I don't think blaming it on Manhattan was a good idea (especially as he could destroy anything thrown at him). Besides that, it was very true to the comic.

  8. Can anyone send me a swpc_tex_tpa.erf? For some reason, it messed up when I did a clean install and now I have no textures.

    1. Darth_Sapiens

      Darth_Sapiens

      did you get one yet? i can send you one if not.

    2. Mandalore

      Yeah - Kyrie sent it to me. If there's any problems with that one though, I'll PM you.

  9. Someone on TOR yesterday promised me (my Mercenary character) a million credits if I captured an Arkanian sorceress named Silental and brought her to him alive. He said she travels between the Imperial Fleet and Ilum - anyone have any leads?

    1. gua543

      gua543

      There are no arkanians in the game, I guess he/she meant very pale human with white hair? Anyway, I have no idea about her whereabouts.

      I see. I shall contact my employer and inform him of such.

  10. Got the TOR Encyclopaedia as a belated Christmas present. It's pretty kandosii.

      I wonder if they'll update it after the new planet comes out in April.

    2. Mandalore

      I think they'll update it, but not straight after - they'll wait a while.

  11. Well, Earth is back to the same position it was a year ago.

  12. Nope - same one I always used (it's never happened before - though once I got my own character on the menu).
  13. I'm pretty sure I did, but I'll go through the process again just to be certain.
  14. Deleted all my saves, uninstalled everything, reinstalled game, then 1.8.2, then M4-78 EP, started up and this happened: Running in 1024x768 at 60Hz, but my monitor's 1366x768 (widescreen patch didn't work).
  15. It's not that I need a partner, so much as I won't turn down a useful opportunity.

  16. That seems a sound arrangement - I accept your proposal.

  17. Ah, Christmas. A time to get free stuff and not do any work.

  18. There won't be an apocalypse until I give the order. There's no point in wasting a good human-supporting planet.

  19. My graphics card is a bit old for TOR - either that or I can fly.
  20. Started playing Ocarina of Time on an N64 emulator (sent to me by ZM90).

      ah i remember those days. i even bought the game on the wii shop channel!

      No discussions of emulators in public again.

      OK - and certainly won't link.

  21. Arcade war again - it's been too long without a true challenge to my reign.

  22. I'll celebrate by not dying, and the following day I'll celebrate (as named by Professor Brian Cox) International Smack a Pseudoscientific Hippie in the Head with a Textbook day.
  23. I agree with the first part of what Rtas Vadum said - I don't play any games unless I have a reason to do what I'm doing (why I prefer RPGs). Generally, this means I don't really play first-person shooters, but I will if there's a good reason for me to be fighting (I like Halo because there's a point to my battle, as opposed to stuff like Call of Duty where it's war for the sake of war). I definitely don't think video games should be blamed for this though - if someone is influenced by games enough to do this, there's something more than games that needs to be looked at.
  24. Played Star Wars Saga Edition Monopoly yesterday - I had all 4 ships and more money than I really needed. Then I landed on Kessel and had no money.

      I tried, but someone (to be precise, my sister's boyfriend) bought all 3 red planets and put cities on all of them. The rent on Kessel was 1080 credits.

      Are you sure your Millennium Falcon didn't need repairs?

      If it did, I'd have docked on one of my own planets - I had a city in both Mos Eisley and Mos Espa. There was no need to pay such an inordinate amount.

  25. Downloaded a Backgammon app, learnt how to play it, then beat all 5 difficulties on the same day.
