I think the sports phrase "That's why they play the game" is appropriate here. We really can't tell exactly what will happen. A few educated guesses, however: 1) PS3 will be the hot item this holiday season, selling out because demand will outstrip supply due to the simulataneous worldwide...

Oh, "constant effect" is an option that you see during the enchanting process. Of course, make sure you know the "Chameleon" spell as well.

It depends. If you can fill grand soul gems, you can cast an enchantment of 20% (or 25%, maybe) constant effect Chameleon. Grand souls will limit you to four or five pieces of armor. Lesser souls yield smaller enchantments. My entire "Elven Armored Suit of Hiding" is made up of two rings, an...

Slight correction here (it's a bit nitpicky), but after Reed Richards blasts the symbiote off of Parker, the Fantastic Four captured and contained the alien suit for a while...it wasn't assumed dead at the time.

I enchanted various pieces of Elven armor to maintain a percentage of the 'Chameleon' spell as a constant effect. The percentages stack, and if you get 100% or over, you're completely invisible. This is a bit too much of an exploit, however, since nothing in the game will be able to attack you...

So, you weren't writing about the 1951 original 'Angels in the Outfield' starring Janet Leigh (of Psycho fame) and Paul Douglas?

Sony is still in control, but I have to disagree...they've made a few mistakes. Now, they may not pay for those mistakes (at least maybe not much), but let's see...mistakes for the PS3: 1) Angered third-party developers with the dual price points that seem rather high as well...something Sony...

Oddly enough, I did a search for KOTOR 3 last night and there's still no official word of any kind for LucasArts or Obsidian. A lot of things got messed up when they stopped pre-production stuff a couple of years ago when LucasArts started laying off workers. Still, I have to believe it's in...

The first game system I had was the Colecovision. Thus, the first video game I played was Donkey Kong. I think I was about seven years old...around 1982. Of course, everyone else had a freakin' Atari 2600. I used to come close to swearing (didn't really know how back then...at least I didn't...

Isn't a bright green sky a possible indicator of a tornado...or at least a really bad thunderstorm? I can see how that would be scary. So, my opinion stands...blue sky better than green.

As everyone knows, visible light can be broken into a spectrum of colors. The Red side of the spectrum possesses lengthier wavelengths, as opposed to the blue/violet end of the spectrum. When the light from the sun hits the atmosphere, the shorter blue wavelength is scattered by the particles of...

Actually, no one snitched on Paul Reubens, if I remember my pop-culture history correctly. It was a ridiculous sting operation set in a porno theater by sheriff's deputies. The explanation from Joe Bob Briggs (of TNT cable channel "fame") says it perfectly: The guy's visiting his parents in...

We read too much as kids.

Could he have done both? Seriously, it is laudable to attempt to provide more information for the consumer to make better, informed decisions. In the case of books, I just think it's too unwieldy. How do we work out a system and make it work? Plus, where do we draw lines of age...

One of the reasons why the ESRB and MPAA can self-regulate is because of the time issue involved. A film is roughly 1 1/2 to 2 hours in length. The ESRB uses video from games (which I disagree with) instead of playing the games themselves, and that's only for a few hours. For the publishing...

BTW, I don't agree with ratings systems in books. Unlike some of the more intelligent individuals on this forum, most people don't have the reading skills to even understand higher levels of text, so I don't think it's all that necessary to protect advanced readers as children such as Pocket...

I agree with you mostly, Basil/Pocket, regarding the double-standards that differing societies place upon "culture", but the context of the art forms being discussed is important. Take for instance, the difference in a fully nude re-telling of Shakespeare's [B]The Tempest[/B (the film...

I'm a big ideas guy...or more accurately, really, a henchmen. What the evil super-villains do with my robots is really up to them. I suppose my suggestion would be to hold the world hostage for a ridiculous sum. After all, the world's governments would negotiate, right? They wouldn't send a...

I liked this description from IMDB: 1934, America. The Dustbowl. A fugitive named Ben Hawkins finds refuge within a traveling carnival comprised of a tarot card reader and her catatonic/telekinetic mother, a blind mentalist, a bearded lady, and conjoined twins, amongst others. The carnival is...

Well, the Stargates have it easier since they're on a basic cable. The ratings pressure isn't as high since the ad revenue won't be as critical. Personally, I couldn't stand either Invasion or Surface. I couldn't get into Invasion with its cliched characters (mysterious sheriff, gutsy...
