Smite, did you mention at some point that you were installing to an external hard drive? Silly question, but did you try installing to your internal HD?
Stalemate, seeing as how Smite's uninstalled/installed several times, could it be a registry issue? Something left behind? -
Quote:Probably like mine where it has an Index in the back. I hate the ones that are in dictionary form. I mean really, If I wanted it to be in dictionary form, I'd ya know, look in a dictionary.Originally Posted by Zekiran_Immortal
Mine's got both - the numbered categories in the first half, and then alphabetical lookups for the second (not fully alphabetical, I hate that bleah!!). -

Oh god I know. Mine is also a 77 edition, with the red and black cover?
Really great book. You'd think I would have it memorized, with the amount of stuff I name. It's not just for here: it's online on Deviantart, for wolves, horses, characters in my rpg world, elves, soul-names for elves, pets, mounts...
I love it because it's not alphabetical, it categorizes everything by classification. At times I knew the context of the word I wanted to use, but for the life of me I could not think up any word that would lead me to it. The classification format allows me to find it in another way. -

Nothing breaks immersion faster than not being able to get the name you wanted, or even a logical variation of it. And don't even get me started on numbers substituted for letters or extraneous periods. Every time I see one of those walk by, I curse our restrictive naming system.

I'd find that to be pretty damn immersion-breaking.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.Quote:Originally Posted by Johnny_Velocity
I'm sure there are brilliant people out there who can think of alternative names, but there really is no point in retaining the status quo. The brilliant people can continue being unique even if the system were changed.
Main Entry: unique
Pronunciation: \yu̇-ˈnēk\
Function: adjective
Etymology: French, from Latin unicus, from unus one more at on
Date: 1602
1 : being the only one : sole
2 a : being without a like or equal : unequaled b : distinctively characteristic : picular
3 : unusual
More than one, then our characters cease to be unique. -
That didn't take long. -.-

Who the hell is complaining about Going Rogue? I have never seen a single complaint about the game offering "the other side" (other than "it homogenizes the game", but they complain about Powerset Proliferation with the same comment, so I don't care about that).
You must play with some weird people.
I think it was TJ that used to have the quote in his sig but it went something like this:
"The game could spit out $20 bills and people would ***** that the serial numbers weren't sequential." -
Once again, as the winner of the 'Midnight Sky' edition of Nazghul1's Color Palette Costume Contest, I was the recipient of a wonderful sketch by Nazghul1. This is the second one of my main, and this time in her Battle Dragon headgear.
He even cleaned up the artifacting of the faceplate for me.
Once again, thank you Naz!

I often fend them tucked between two double-stacked containers with the corners at one end touching, and another one blocking the wide end.

I routinely archive my chat logs, just so that folder doesn't get bloated. Do the same with my screenshots folder.

I certainly can't wait to see everyone again!
Just don't tell the Protectorites I escaped the asylum. -

Jumping on this forum and asking for help.
Jumping onto google and searching "name generator".
Clicking the link to "reference.com" and hitting 'thesaurus'.
You can do those things while sitting in the character generator. I have a stack - and I mean a stack - of dictionaries, foreign language as well as English, thesaurus, books on gods and goddesses, baby name books, hell even just turning my head to the left and seeing my CD collection can inspire a new good name that no one else has.
It really, really isn't that hard. And I suppose that lazy isn't the right word. Stubborn perhaps.
I have a Roget's that I bought back in '77 and only now am I starting to worry about loose pages. Happened across a mint condition one that I snatched up and tucked away. Don't care for the new format, so I'm glad I came across a second one. -
Quote:Unique monikers are not that difficult to come up with, it merely takes people willing to use the resources available to them and that many posters here have mentioned.Originally Posted by Johnny_Velocity
And no, such a person is unlikely to "want your help," which is a common response in threads on this topic.
Someone who spends their time wailing and gnashing their teeth because they were unable to use "Insert any common name of your choosing here", but are unwilling to use the resources mentioned has a problem, and it's not the games unique naming structure. -

I just made a Freakshow-esque Electric Brute the other night. Of course the name "Statix" was taken, as was "Statikz," and several other permutations that I tried.
But rather than going the l33t route, I just chose a different name.
So far, I'm really loving how much fun it is to smash people's faces in with the name "Snap Crackle PUNCH!"
Love it.

Too late: someone else came up with it first. Start over. Think OUTSIDE your narrow box, please? If all you want is to be thought of as the same guy as 77 other people with that same moniker... well.. *shrug* Gotta be slightly more original in this game, and that's a good thing.
I was so bummed when I 'Black Ice' wasn't available for my Ice/Rad Controller, and I wailed and bemoaned for all of the oh minute it took me to plug in Sable Drift instead. Which I prefer to the nth degree. -

That's how I started getting interested in IT.
Started way back when I was 16 actually, with my first computer: Apple ][c
Good times... -
Outstanding job TA!

Well, at the time you were only downloading...

Maybe I can buy you a copy, tie it to a courier pigeon, and send it to you. It's get there quicker.

I already called dibbs on the Sewer Trial, but that was a whole page ago, so put me down for it.

Unless something in the latest patch F.U.B.A.R.'d something. But I'm just getting into the whole Arc creation arena, so I've not got a clue.
