I hear the phrase used quite a bit still, mostly by African Americans on NPR. /huge_shrug
I agree, I hear it used amongst educated minorities as people "of color" rather than calling someone "colored" which is insulting. |

SWTOR and its ilk should be opening the gates wider, a la CoX/CO, rather than narrowing the possibilities.

At least TOR has head options that give you facial structure to create a character that looks like an actual person who is of African descent and not just "middle-European average Hans with a paint job" like in DAO. You'll summon the wrath of the narwhal. |

Oh for chrissakes, they have to have shown off chargen at some point.
Maybe I should just stop posting until that ridiculous NDA drops.

It really has gone beyond cumbersome that they even have it around.

The only thing I really care about is the monthly fee at this point.

More likely they are holding it back so they can announce all the prices together. Like if they are going to have a lifetime sub, 3, 6, 9, 12 month stuff. |

Having said this, why isn't it OK for someone to mod an avatar to their liking? Would it be wrong to make a mod where all of the main characters were Asian or African in appearance and do away with all Caucasian skins in the game? Not in my book. It's your mod, do as you wish. Just don't tell me game producers shouldn't widen the possibilities from the beginning. SWTOR and its ilk should be opening the gates wider, a la CoX/CO, rather than narrowing the possibilities.
I'm fine with that for your own characters. Changing anything else opens the door wide for cheats though. |

I don't really see how it would be any different than modding your own character, but I don't know coding.

The point is, if you can mod other characters, just make all the the opposing races or class like bright green, pink, etc. Basically like spiked models back in the CS days. |

Yeah modding all characters in a game that's not multiplayer is pretty much a who cares to me. Now, that doesn't mean you won't be judged for modding all the chicks in the game to have elf ears and panther tails.

How are you all planning to celebrate this thread reaching 300? I plan to sit here in my loin cloth, randomly screaming out, "THIS IS SPARTA!". |

I think the thread is stuck at 299, 300 could very well be the same as dividing by zero as far as these forums are concerned.

Yes but they turn off if you shoot at the star destroyer's ball sac above the bridge.
Imperial naval doctrine when this happens is to panic and shout 'intensify forward firepower' repeatedly. Presumably the hope is that your lasers will shoot the other lasers down or something.

Also imperial navy could just wait until the SW producers need to low budget episode and have an R2 unit somehow disrupt commander Data's brain, sending him into an insane rampage disabling the enterprise.
Again.
