May pro-trolls and corrupt leaders suffer the fate of the original Nazis readies noose

AMEN! Oh...The Hammerite Imperium isnt dead...I hear someone is helping to patch up Mission 1....

You say that as though you expect politicians are meant to give us good things. Politicians never EVER bring any good in this world-dont you realize that? You will never see anything good come out of politicans, that's why I dont expect anything from them. People who cant succeed at anything in life and are of no real use to society flock to political offices or become celebrities so they can get their screwed up behavior subsidized by the public. I dont want politicans meddling with health care-just imagine how many paitients would die if guys like the ones who run FEMA were in charge! I want them out of my life as much as possible, and gun control is just another way of shackling us. Try reading this article a kind soul once showed me you might learn a few things. http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel120501.shtml Oh if you are going to leave for Canada, by all means do so-but I think after a few years up there you will find them to be just as flawed as the rest of us.

My family has owned guns all of their life, and no problems have occured. If you use caution in handling them, there's no problems to worry about. These idiots who shoot themselves are always the ones who dont use common sense in handling their weapons, take their guns away and they'll find another way to off themselves. Gun control will only play into the hands of the politicians and criminals in the long run.

HE'S CONTAMINATED! grabs baseball bat and cracks NH's skull First of all, any FM author that doesnt like the way Komag handles it can ask to have his FM taken off the disks. Second having sent a couple of Thief CD's to a friend in the UK, I can tell you that most of that money is going into postage which can get pretty steep when youre shipping overseas. Fair? Please SE, dont do drugs!

I dont see what the problem is with a guy posting that he's selling game stuff on e-bay as long as the games are legitimate and not illegally burned copies. On edios I've posted links that I've found on e-bay, amazon and other places that have Thief Gold for sale so any fan that hasnt gotten it can have a chance of getting it. I've even gave an extra copy to a friend that I found at EB games (paid a chunk of change shipping it to England too). No one has ever complained, of course in TTLG world good deeds are always considered evil! Tell me about it, TTLG Comm Chat is one of the most corrupt and twisted places I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing on the internet. All the rules (including their own FAQ) are thrown out the window, and any form of insult and attack is allowed. I left in 2004 after an argument with a member who began yelling 'let's kill the n---ers and the k--es!'. When I confronted the guy-I was the one threatened by the admin who pretended like the previous sentence never happened. Since then I have had very harsh words for those scumbags and will continue to do so for many years to come. Of course the admins have taken their swipes at me personally, GBM launched an attack against me last year in the TTLG Editing Guild, cursing me, calling me names and making an all out effort to turn my friends there against me. It ended up being funny because everyone blew him off, and I had some VERY harsh words with him by e-mail about what he did and what had let up to the current situation. He just blew me off in his reply babbling that I 'wasnt important to him' (If so why the attack in the first place IDIOT? Do you really think I'm going to start letting personal attacks like that go unchallenged?). I've attempted to speak to Digital Nightfall on several occasions to get things straightened out, but I've simply been ignored-in spite of the fact that up until this day I have never spoken I'll of him. But that's ok-I'm not going anywhere and you will all see keep right on growing stronger in the Thief community. Fuck them! Komag....the more you give to ungrateful, spoiled brats and the nepotists that allow them to exist on the forums, the more shit they throw in your face when things dont go 100% their way. That's the main problem with the Thief Community as a whole, there's been so many good people putting in their sweat into the whole thing for so long-people think they can let things go to hell and nothing bad will happen. Perhaps what we need is a totally new community for Thief 1,2 and TDS fans-perhaps it could be called the 'Garbage Free Forum!'

Funny I wasnt forced to go to church by my parents at all.

It has nothing to do with being insecure, I just despise people who will belittle my intelligence because I dont buy into evolution and imply that I have some kind of character flaw because of it. You dont see me posting 'evolution is for monkeys!' do you? It's a nice sci -fi idea, Darwin was pretty creative but I suspect if he had the data availble today about human cells and DNA it's quite possible he would have come to a completely different conclusion on how things came to be. Now while I havent paid much attention to the court case involving I.D. I have read the book Darwins Black Box. Now if any of you have read it, the guy never claims to be a creationist or argues that all structures in a cell look like they have been designed, he just points to a group of examples and demonstrates that there is no way under current theroy that they could have evolved. I.D. really has nothing to do with Creation ideas-it just shows some data that says Darwin may not be the 100% truth that guys like Dawkins make him out to be. Someone who belives that I.D. is correct could attribute it to any god they believe in or even space aliens. The only area I'm 'stupid' in is that I waste insane amounts of time being involved in outside activites that bring me little or no gain. Video games, martial arts for a few years and now building levels for games-and for what? Nothing at all but a few dusty trophies and some files on a website that people download play once or twice and then forget about. I'm really dumb when it comes to hobbies.

Perhaps God was having fun trying different designs? As for human eyes, they seem to work well enough for most people-using apparent 'flaws' in their design to throw out the idea that they were designed doesnt quite hold water. The Dromed Editor is a horribly constructed piece of crap but it was made by 'I.D.' by people who made some of the greatest FPS games of all time. Perhaps if humans were created by God, it's possible that we've degenerated over time, looking at our technology that pollutes as much as it gives us in material things and the diet most of us eat no wonder why our minds and bodies look like crap. Really? So if I'm a person that believes in Creation I'm an idiot by default? Do most of you agree with that assumption? If so perhaps I should reconsider my participation in your project, after all you wouldnt want stupid people on the team right?

Gravity may be a force, but so is magnetism and we use that in various ways dont we? We can use electricity to generate a magnetic field and use magnets in a generator along with motion to generate electrictiy so why would it be impossible to find a way to artficially generate a gravity field? I've read that some physics researchers speculate that all these forces are related to each other in some form or fashion, we just havent found the right links yet, but if we were to-surely there would be a possible technological way to generate a gravitational field without needing a large mass? Imagine what we might could do with such technology! 1. Gravity Drive as I mentioned before. 2. Artifical gravity on spaceships-not just Star Trek anymore! 3. If we could project and control localized gravitational fields perhaps this could be the real life basis of the 'shielding' we see in the sci-fi shows-a localized gravity field outside the ship that can deflect stuff that has mass.

All the talk about Star Trek got me thinking, what if you could generate an artificial gravity field? I've seen gravitational pull represented by a ball resting on a sheet, the depression it forms makes for a pictorial representation of the planet's gravity field. If you could create those artificially-you could have a spacecraft with a gravity field generator built into the front area of the ship. It would create a gravitational field in front of the ship-a 'depression' so to speak that the ship would forever fall towards but never arrive to until it was shut down. It might not go faster than light but perhaps it would make for faster travel within the solar system. If you could cut the travel time to Mars down to 3 or 4 months or less with such a system it would make the idea of going there much more plausible.

Happy New Year everyone! I've got a headache right now and I dont even drink!!

Of course there has been erosion of liberty in the U.S., but strip away the 2nd amendment and the process would quadruple in speed overnight. We already have too many laws, time to roll some back. Hopefully Congress's recent turn against the Patriot Act wont be an isolated event.

The death penalty (which I'm for) kills very few people a year and that's usually after years of wrangling in the courts so I dont think that really adds to the total. I'm perfectly comfortable with easy access to arms, I've owned guns for most of my life and have no evil criminal plans. My family and friends also possess some sort of weapon or another, it's part of our country's freedom. Considering the corrupt, power grabbling nature of any form of government and the poor track record of how it treats people including it's own citizens-I will never support any sort of gun control efforts, period. And if that means if there's more violent crimes, so be it-better to risk having some more criminals running around than increase the level of power the government holds over you.

The 2nd amendment says citizens have the right to bear arms (pistols, rifles, shotguns). However to get a fully automatic weapon you have to jump through varying hoops to get a BATF Class III licence which most gun owners dont posess. As for the murder rate, we have nearly 300 million people so it will probably be higher than European nations many of which are the size of a U.S. state. And no we dont need TV to tell us how to off people, the human race has eagerly done it's bloody deeds long before Television and guns were invented, the Mongols didnt need to watch Nightmare on Elm Street or Die Hard to get the idea to build pyramids of human heads after they burned cities and wiped out their inhabitants.

Happy Birthday!

The U.S. needs to make me it's Absolute Ruler!

I heard someone mention Wynne's voice work, she also did the voices of the Sisterhood in Deep Trouble 2.

That's a little bleak isnt it? I think people in the U.S. are much smarter than you think, I've heard plenty of grumbling about what's going on but when you look at the normal Republican/Democrat garbage you realize there's not much to choose from in terms of leadership. Most of us want our freedom intact and wish to be left alone, the best thing we can do is to shift our votes to 3rd parties to break the current political deadlock. At least in the United States we have a Consitution with a codified bill of rights so we can see where we are getting screwed, England and Aus dont even have that.

Good lord-that CITY IS HUGE!

Napoleon Dynamite, my co-workers told me how funny it was for weeks. After watching for 20-30 minutes-I got up and walked out!

Aliens is my all time favorite, I also enjoyed Batman Begins-the shots of the gotham skyline reminded me of the City in Thief.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

If there are bodies of water-they will!

I've started reading Homer's Illiad recently and I can tell you there's plenty of graphic violence in it. It's been in entertainment for a long time, so dont listen to politicians who just want to take your freedom.
