THE PACK Message Boards

I had the RROD three times, once even on the Jasper model. I've since given up on it these days, as the Xbox 360 is really the new Dreamcast in terms of system stability. My PC and my PS3 are rock solid, by comparison, and they serve me well enough for gaming. As Scott said, a company shouldn't manu...

Hmmm... Given any label that has a belief and/or society surrounding it, there's always controversy, that's a given and it's not new and it doesn't really have anything to do with the Internet or the rise of technology. It's human nature, and it's the way we've always been. Gowan, pick one: Atheism...

@sugarpoultry: I can agree that evolution doesn't contradict the thought of a god, even not the christian one. To me there's no need to decide between science and faith - to me it's just a matter of perspective. I know this was at sugarpoultry, but I felt you deserved another compliment for it. Thi...

I can't help but wonder if one of the most serious and nefarious crimes of the future is going to be kidnapping someone (or simply jumping them in a dark alley), forcefully "plugging them in" (and I use that term losely, as it'll most likely be possible just to do it with a person partakin...

Oh, my mistake, I thought summer break had already started in some schools. Not everyone is in a situation where they are studious or where they can hold down a job, of course, so there'll be those on the IRC anyway. But I miscalculated, it seems this message is about a month early for those who're ...

No matter what day it is when you read this! If you've never joined the Pack chat, then now's the time to do it, and if you've been away for a while, come back! Ye olde regulars are here, and ye olde not-so-regular-anymores should return, and it'd be nice to have an influx of new people too. There's...

Good grief... I think I'm going to be playing devil's advocate here,, but not really in any way that could be expected, I suppose. I was reading this and I thought to myself "we get a lot of this", and "how could we put a positive spin on all this"? This was coupled with "bu...

@Terastas: I couldn't agree with you more, and I like that ranting Griffin, he's got a good head on his shoulders. That said... There are so many ways that this could be dealt with, but I'm still baffled by the situation. When you look at other large land-masses such as Canada and Russia, you have ...

Wikipedia:List of Grey Wolf populations by Country I'm thankful for Canada and Russia, there seems to be no stopping those Wolves, and hunting in Russia doesn't seem to be a big thing, anyway. Those two countries are the home of Timber/Grey Wolves at the moment, and that's interesting. Despite Cana...

My computer could play NWN flawlessly. Would it be able to play 2? If you could post your computer's specs, I'd be able to give you a definitive answer. But as Terastas pointed out, NWN2 was cutting edge when it was released, like a lot of the best RPGs are, and the Electron Engine (which NWN2 was ...

Plus it had the Mask of the Betrayer expansion, which had a story so powerful it managed to make me cry. It's actually that good that a number of critics have likened it to Planescape: Torment, and heralded as the only worthwhile PC RPG in years. I mean, the original campaign was incredible (loved t...

Pariah: I don't know so much about that. I agree with you that the concept of a person saying that they're leaving is silly, however, useful things often arise from such posts. It means that someone is getting their feelings out into the open, they had things they needed to resolve, and now their t...

Oh, and yes, I am back. The Pack is like a family. Once you become a member of the family, they won't let you just leave. :P So true, and that's precisely why this isn't a big deal. This 'us vs them' attitude that might have popped up lately, or the problems we've had with certain members (includin...

I remember watching that one one the telly. I also remember being amazed that the judges were so surprised, she told her story and frankly, I was expecting jealousy at play. It's not the first time that story's come up on Britain's Got Talent, and to me, her confidence gave her the presence of someo...

I've been growing my hair (with only minor shaping occurring) since I was 7, and if I were thin I'd probably look like one of those Japanese emo anime characters. As it is, I can just about almost sit on it, and it's pretty thick too. I also have a good mix of natural colours in my hair as well, whi...

Wing: A good parody, but you might have taken it just a tad too far with the vampire jab, as I think that many were fans might be a bit iffy about being related to vampires in any conceivable way. My suggestion? Make it a zombie club instead, just as funny, but without the less desirable elements. ...

*headdesk* That looks like it hurt. Man, I wish you would've said something earlier about your plans! What is so hard about about ante-upping the $10/mo to play? What if the purpose of running my own server isn't so much about paying? What if it's because it makes me feel comfortable that I can cre...

In the order asked: With great difficulty, yes. Yes. And yes.

In fact, players can create their own houses, there's even a Sims-like house architectural system for those that put in the effort to get access to it.

Wingman: There is indeed, I can't believe I forgot to mention it, the password is also the public domain of my server, which I did just to make it easy to remember. Password: pack.servegame.org I'll mention it in the first post in a moment. Midnight: Ultima Online has been about since 1997, it's ha...

S'funny, I'm an anarchist (as an ideal) but I support hunting I suppose, but then a good anarchist would, it's just taking what you need and no more than that. The only thing I have against anyone who takes a gun to an animal is someone who'd shoot a carnivore, for whatever reason, be it out of gree...

And a free little boat for everyone who joins before the 29th!

What?

Hehehehe. Gods, this is fun.

New on the server:

We now have IRC access, we can talk via IRC, join us on #UO on the Paradice IRC server if you want to see us yammer at each other.

What? Ultima Online, a massively-multiplayer online game originally developed by Origin, and adopted by EA afterwards. It's a World in which one can do whatever they want, there's a skill pool, and whatever you do you get better at the more you do it, there's no classes, it's based on working at so...

Do I believe that werewolves do exist? I cannot say. Do I believe, given the correct environment and circumstances, that werewolves can exist? Absolutely. There are three things to consider: Potential, Knowledge, and Arrogance. As par the course, behaviourally, humans select two of these and run wit...

The problem with some online services is that the people who host them don't bother to put preventative cheating measures in place, you'll see no cheating in Team Fortress 2 or Resistance 2, for example, but you will on Halo and SSB. The reason why is because it's easy to check the status of memory,...

Okay, some new rules and guidelines are in order, I'm going to link to this post in the first post too, just so everyone sees it. - If you can, use Skype. The communication guidelines are vital , we need to keep talking to each other. It also helps to alienate us from each other if it's text alone, ...
