  1. He made his name in Hollywood beaming his colleagues back to the safety of the Enterprise on "Star Trek." Now, actor James Doohan's family is hoping to beam him up to the "final frontier" that Doohan's character "Scotty" loved so dearly. The actor, who died Wednesday at age 85, had told relatives he wanted his ashes blasted into outer space, as was done for "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry. "He'll be there with his buddy, which is wonderful," said Doohan's agent and longtime friend, Steve Stevens. Doohan died at his home in Redmond, Wash., with his wife of 31 years, Wende, at his side. He had retired from public events last year, not long after announcing he had Alzheimer's disease. Houston-based Space Services Inc., which specializes in space memorials, plans to send a few grams of Doohan's ashes aboard a rocket later this year. The remains, which will be sealed in an aluminum capsule, will eventually burn up when they re-enter Earth's atmosphere. It should be a fitting finale for an actor who, as the Starship Enterprise's frazzled chief engineer saved the Enterprise almost every week from blowing up, burning up or being overrun by renegade aliens when the warp drive, the phasers, the shields, the power cells or some other futuristic collection of doohickies failed. As the man who commanded the Enterprise's particle beam transporter, Doohan's character also inspired the phrase, "Beam me up, Scotty." Capt. Kirk and other members of the Enterprise crew never really issued the order quite that way, however, until the fourth "Star Trek" film when Kirk said, "Scotty, beam me up." A master of dialects from his early years in radio, the Canadian-born Doohan experimented with seven different accents for the hard-pressed engineer. "The producers asked me which one I preferred," Doohan recalled 30 years later. "I believed the Scot voice was the most commanding. So I told them, 'If this character is going to be an engineer, you'd better make him a Scotsman."' Doohan was born March 3, 1920, in Vancouver, British Columbia, the youngest of four children of William Doohan, a pharmacist, veterinarian and dentist, and his wife, Sarah. He wrote in his autobiography, "Beam Me Up, Scotty," that his father was a drunk who made life miserable for his wife and children. At 19, he escaped the turmoil at home by joining the Canadian army, where he became a lieutenant in the artillery and was among the Canadian forces that landed on Juno Beach on D-Day. After the war, Doohan enrolled in a drama class in Toronto on a whim. He showed promise and won a two-year scholarship to New York's famed Neighborhood Playhouse, where fellow students included Leslie Nielsen, Tony Randall and Richard Boone.
  2. First, you have to have a fast computer. Second, you have to be on the same server. This is not like runescpae where your char on all of the servers. If u start on beraramus, u have to stay on beramus. The number behind beramus doesnt really matter coz they r like in a series. You have like 5 servers to have 15 different men.
  3. Its not the word thats offensive, its how its used.
  4. I won't cheer about it, but i thinks a step in the right direction due to today's world.
  5. Ill take a look at it. i cant get onto the website.
  6. 1. Its because u r different spieces. Dont ask me why, but the only way u can stick together is in Moradon. You cant even join the same clan. 2. Dex is wat u need for bows and daggers. Str is for just about every thing else. 3. You should buy the 3 market armor sets before u try out full plate and chitin.
  7. Ill take a look at it.
  8. 1. In reg world u should. Its only in the abyss and on a certain quest that u cant. 2. The only way that could see peoples lvl were if they were in my clan. 3. Dex is just about useless. Its for upgrading armor. All of the others give: Str=the higher, the more in weight u can carry Health= Health (red bar) Magic and intel= Magic(blue bar) Look for full plate rogue armor and start buying. Look for pieces that r less than 200k. Usually u can get full battle armor for 500k if they are +1 upgradeable. Dont buy the first one u see unless its 100k basicly. Since Full plate armor ask for Health ur probaly going to have to raise it up to 80 health. 4.Since u can use bacis skills, im assuming u know about that screen. If u look at it, u should see 3 boxes that say Assasin, Archery, and Explore and they should have a p next to it. On the bottom next to ur basic skill tab, u should see 3 others that have the same name as the boxes. Look at them and see were u want to go. When uve decided what u want to be. Click on the p next to the box. My opinion is to get explore and one of the two, achery OR assasin. Explore lets u cloak, run faster, and heal. 5. U should arready have cloak. If not, look at how many skill points u need in explore to get it.
  9. the view system sucks. and its hard to walk sometimes, it doesnt register your click. and many times you can lose soemthing a monster dropped because another one will be on top of it. but i still like it, i just hope they do soem fixes soon. Tell me when when they do and ill play it again. But theyre Korean, so that might be a while. Im have Korean and i know thoses Koreans in Korea like building stuff that are complex even if it sucks.
  10. !. You can check out the guide on monster on their website. I tend to test them by attacking. If its too strong, i get out of the area. 2. I think you go to the command menu and look for something that along the line of market. 3. You can challenge people. Also you can go the Abyss dungeon at lvl 20 in the delos zone and fight the opposing race.
  11. I really didnt like thang due to a limited amount of stuff and u cant really see what ur doing because theres only one view.
  12. You have to start off by killing worms if your by your self. But the best idea is to join a party. Talk to people who have the P symbol by their names.
  13. Join a party. When i hit 10 and got my spec, i went to Kalluga Village and joined a party. I just sat down and watch people do the work for me. In 3 hours, i hit 21 and had 100k in pocket. Just join a party. It works like a charm.
  14. Does anyone but me play Knight Online?? If u want to start playing or just to find info on it, go to this website: http://www.knightonlineworld.com/ Its a great game with good features, more quests than runescape, better looking armor and more weapons, and best of all, it has the look of medieval computer games. Its is also FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Best RPG?

    KOTOR 2 was BAD. Really, it was worst than the first (which was awesome). I bought it and return it back to the store after a day because it wasnt that good. It proves that sequels most of the time stink.

    Best RPG?

    Baldur's Gate I and II Knights of the old republic Zelda: oracle of time
  17. When we played lacrosse the other day, a goalie got hit THERE. It probaly hurt worst then gettin whacked with a handball. At least, in hand ball, its big and u play with hands. The lacrosse ball has more speed behind it due to it being smaller, the stick throw the projectiles faster and longer and the area in front of the goal that u cant cross is smaller.
  18. male cow droppings! every english channel I ever watched shows the USA as evil gun toating people, with increadably high crime rates... which is garbadge, considering we have lower crime per capita than England. The brits probaly think that because their cops beat the CRAP out of u with batons, not guns.

    Nope. She can say "Yeah right loser, you are ugly, and a nerd. You must be kidding me. * off. Lol. If you need help with a girl, you aren't worthy of one right now. It should all feel natural, so if you need to ask online for help, you don't deserve a girl right now. Thats all I really have to say. Bmw I aint never heard that. Must be that u're a ugly nerd.

    Thats right!!!! Finally someone agrees with me.
  21. How the hell did this become a battle between the libbies and conservies??

    god, the worst she can say is no.
  23. mmm tasty. I find that quite insulting. I consider myself a 'middle-left' person. I'm a Christian, and as such hold some fairly right wing views about things like marriage, which in America would make me an Ultraconservative. Yet I also believe that it is not right that workers slave for a pittance to make trainers which Nike then sells for a huge profit. I don't believe it's fair that coffee farmers are forced to sell their coffee at prices that will mean their children will not eat for 3 days out of 7 because of heavy subsidies by western nations. I do not believe it is right that there is such mass widespread poverty when for a relatively tiny sum the westen countries can save millions of lifes. This, in America, would make a Democrat/liberal. In England, I'm known as an Evangelical. I go by the principles of the Bible (which says more about helping the poor than making money, which I wish some people would take note of). if I were american, I would vote democrat. yeah, based on my 'seemingly' conflicting views (which don't actually conflict, I probably just didn't explain properly), I am as screwed up as a soup sandwich. But I would like to know why believing that it is morally wrong that 6 children have died of preventable diseases while you have been reading this post, makes you as screwed as a soup sandwhich? If wanting what is right for the world as a whole, not just yourself, is screwed as a soup sandwich, then I must be incredibly soggy. In America, liberals are as screw up as a soup sandwich. The last liberal i liked was Pres. Clinton. Wonder why his wife stayed with him. Bet u it has something to do with 08 and the presidency. Al Gore "invent" the internet. Liberals are also saying one thing, then doing another. John Kerry want to brag about his purple hearts. Fact is, he earned one. I prefer the conservative way of thinking. Its wrong when the stupid libbies stop the space race and all the stuff that could one day save us. The 6 kids u were talkin about, Its in africa so what are u euros doing about it. Dont blame the US for every stupid thing that comes up for that is wrong. And the fact u dont think stuff is right. Have u ever been there? Do u not know those people want a job desperately. I agree that it is wrong that the they pay people that little. I also agree the Pres. Bush should make a tax out of all that stuff that comes into the US. It seems they go over there, make stuff, then sell it in the US and elseware. That stuff should be taxed and that money could go into something to help those poor kids.

    I could answer that, but I'd rather not. The consequences to the moral on this board could be devistating. Answer what???
