What? Doesn't anyone believe me?!! Ok ok, fine. Bah.

Please help me understand which definition of "irony" that falls under...

 

Main Entry: iro·ny

Pronunciation: 'I-r&-nE also 'I(-&)r-nE

Function: noun

Inflected Form(s): plural -nies

Etymology: Latin ironia, from Greek eirOnia, from eirOn dissembler

1 : a pretense of ignorance and of willingness to learn from another assumed in order to make the other's false conceptions conspicuous by adroit questioning -- called also Socratic irony

2 a : the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning b : a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony c : an ironic expression or utterance

3 a (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity b : incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play -- called also dramatic irony, tragic irony

 

Pretty sure it doesn't fit any of them, but I'm not very educated :D

 

Just jerking your chain. Please don't take any offense ;)

Do you mean "common"? :D

I'm sorry I couldn't resist...

 

Typos are to be expected and are easy to live with. Inappropriate word usage has always been a pet peeve of mine, so I tend to have fun with people when I see it :). No harm intended, of course....

Well for starters I was just suggesting inuendo between the defenition of irony and the occurance of strange events, creating an understood effect.

 

But I think it can fall under number 3, ya...so anyway.

yea all of this big word usage... irony-inuendo.. gots to go we're talking about release dates... they dont need to ship it out in december, if they do then it'll be rushed and prolly end up like JA. What a let down man!

I would love to hear your rationale behind this.

 

We know that OE started working on TSL about the same time that KotOR was hitting the shelves, which means they've been working on it for just over a year.

 

We also know that Bioware gave OE their complete toolset and a working game engine.

 

We also know that their delivery date to LA is upon them and that they've been pretty much done for over a month.

 

So, knowing all this, I would love to hear how it is that you know for a fact that the game will be "rushed" if it comes out in December. The game has to be finished sometime. If it's sooner rather than later....well, I'm ok with that :D

I agree with Achillies. :D

 

Bioware did most of the game engine work on KOTOR, which they handed to Obsidian. All Obsidian had to do was create the new story, places, and add some bells and whistles to the game, so December sounds like a really reasonable release date.

 

Just my 2 cents! :D

Lets hope not....

 

JA had to have been 1 of my greatest let downs in a game. For all it could have been & wasn't......

 

Hopefully when Dec. rolls around & IF (keyword being IF) OE says it isn't ready to ship, LA understands that & just doesn't send it out the door anyway for the lucrative X-Mas market.

 

Just my 6 cents........
