The only thing I've used mine for in the past year was once for Netflix when I wanted to watch something on Canadian Netflix instead of American. Also, why is John Goodman your avatar?

Gabe Newell actually.  http://www.gabenewell.org/  <--relevant. 

I haven't touched my Wii in probably 6 months...I was unaware this was no longer a thing.

Could've been JAU, but I don't really remember that much of that mod.

Sounds about right.

Also every time someone necros a thread (their own or not), I kill a kitten.

Just wondering if there is any one who does any cool VFX stuff. I recently bought Final Cut Studio 2 (outdated, but much cheaper) and it's so awesome. What are you guys using, especially for more intense compositing work? I know after effects is the program of choice, but Motion is doing a great job, too.

I'm familiar with chroma keying and greenscreen from the 2 years I spent interning in a TV studio, more recently I have started trying my hand at special effects for indie movies, though I work in After Effects.

Rofl, and does that also say 25% tax? o.o

 Says 8.25% tax.

downside to living in the city I do is that the taxes are higher on everything <.<

So I walk to this Burger King near my office for lunch at least once or twice a week, saves me from bringing a lunch everyday.

The past two days in a row, this has been on my receipt...

I sense the Empire's hand in this...

You had one job Disney....one job.

I'm not saying it is an issue in itself, just saying it's still beating Microsoft in that regard and they know it, which is why they said they're giving 2 free games a month with XBL - to compete with Sony. You do get more games though with Sony and it is cheaper so... Yeah. *shrugs*

They're actually only doing that till the release of XboxOne, it is not intended to be a "thing" I don't think.  The only thing I'd say is good about it, is you don't have to maintain the subscription to play them.  

Honestly I don't tend to do much online play anymore aside from occasionally with people I know. As such technically it would make more sense for me to drop the XBL and get PS+, except for the fact that I get my XBL for a yearly $25 (roughly $2 a month if I wasn't paying a lump sum), whereas I would still pay the same price for PS+ that everyone else does.

Trust me, I have certainly considered getting PS+, as I agree it is a good deal, even for just the games alone.  But at least in my case it isn't the better financial choice, so I can't really bring myself to wave it's banner around.  Not to mention even though Netflix and the like are free on PS, they run faster on my Xbox for some reason or another, so I'd prefer to keep my XBL one way or another.

It's cheaper than what Microsoft charges you for online play, and you get a lot more games to choose from. 

Not saying that isn't true, but personally it has never been an issue for me.  I maintain an active Xbox Live subscription, but it is because I can get it at $25 a year as opposed to the $60.  I'd have PS Plus too if I had the extra cash blowing around.

"better graphics" is really questionable, considering that they run on two completely different engines, and thus have two completely different pipelines for assets and so forth, and come with their own set of problems as well (KOTOR won't run on Win7 and higher, period, while JKA has some render FPS issues). And anyway you have to consider that the effects system in JKA alone is enough to bring a modern computer to its knees on a debug build (one effect is enough to bring the game to around ~20 FPS even on my PC, when debugging OpenJK)

Also...yeah, the controls is kinda the main reason why you wouldn't do this. Why would you ever port something if you can't properly control it? That doesn't make any sense at all..

FYI - I have KOTOR 1 & 2 (disc versions) running on Windows 7 properly (with the widescreen fix).

This...

Although I don't believe I have the widescreen fix.

Not sure what the relevance of posting an entirely separate game from another genre was. The only thing they share is the name "star wars"

The fact that it is a port to Ipad is the connection I assume.

KOTOR is mostly just point and click from what I understand, JA wouldn't really work well at all on tablets.

From what I have heard, while the interface works well with touch, and the turn-based combat is fairly intuitive (it is either set to pause between turns by default, or that is its only mode in this version), that even the movement on this can be just a bit cumbersome.

What are you doing with this poor old engine?!

Are you asking what is he doing TO it, or why is he still using it?

It is one of those things...he could tell you, but then he would have to kill you.

Them's the rules.

Fun Fact: XBox 360 is almost 10 year old. Well, not quite, but yeah... not such a big compliment.

Actually it's only about 7 or so.

He said he might need someone else to do the textures. Feel free as long as he still needs it.

Textures are super time consuming, I have tons of work with Helical to do, and my finals coming up.

Lol I was about to do the model (sans UVmap or textures) simply for the sake of procrastinating on my finals...but now I see @@minilogoguy18 has taken care of it.

Only took you a week to notice.

For the record, I am essentially retired <.<  I hang around, but usually only poke into threads when I am summoned.

Sweet, just wanted to make sure this isn't just a polished code release, but something that's also going to be implemented by itself too. Looking forward to this.

Offtopic: Mother of god, the Canadian has returned <.<

OT:

I don't play anymore, so I can't say I'd use this, but best of luck to you.

Sam Witwer IS Galen Merek, he played the voice and the game model was made in his image.

Although he talked about it in an interview, and apparently the original concepts looked identical to him despite the fact he wasn't involved in any way.  In fact, that led to him to getting the job, he had a friend at LA who was basically like "Hey so we have this character for a new game, and he looks just like you...you should try out to play him."

 Also, since the source is released, couldn't it  be made into its own game fairly easily due to the amount of custom assets already being used?

You would still be forced to make it a mod, because you are still dealing with the copyrights on the intellectual property of Star Wars.  Even if it were a non-commercial game, the copyrights would still apply.

@@Ory'Hara'Hara, please just be quiet if you don't know what you're talking about.

I think as usual it is less his lack of knowledge, and more his inability to speak like a somewhat normal individual.

PM me your email and I'll send you a link for a free 50 GB Box account.

This...I would like to know how you managed this O.o

Aha. Nevermind then.

I guess saying that I "stumbled" upon it was alluding that I had made it

But nope, that is exactly what happened, when I first heard it was taken down I was looking around for an article to find out why, and then poof, found that.
