You think? Anyway, I'm all spammed out for the day. I'm going to go away, sit down, and have a long hard think about what I've done.

I don't mind the one-stop shop, and I don't want to have to run around every town looking for a dozen different shops. I'd like a central market with different stalls for different types of goods, and for the inventory system to correspond with divisions of types of goods, to make the whole thing easier to manage than NWN.

Foolish Scandinavians! Squabble amongst yourselves, if you wish, yet all the time, the worms are coming closer... :ph34r:

That's Canadian money! A conspiracy is revealed! Our enemies surround us. :ph34r: But already, the counter-strike has been unleashed! Across the British Isles, the worms have been charmed - and armed! Even now they burrow onwards, ever onwards, making their silent, deadly progress to strike at the heart of the enemy!

I hope they realise that the entry fee is

What the hell? The Danes have these??? But they're within striking distance of our shores! I bet they can be deployed within 45 minutes, too. :ph34r: Where are the arms control treaties? Where are the weapons inspectors? Save us, Mr. Bush! :ph34r: :ph34r:

Yes, fresh from their tour of duty in Iraq. Seriously, though, a squad of hostile penguins would scare me. :ph34r:

Indigo Prophecy, called Fahrenheit in North America. Demo is here, and on other major sites.

Caodai is a fun new Vietnamese religion, with Jesus, Mohammed, Confucius, Victor Hugo and Shakespeare (amongst others) as Saints. The eye of God is a bit scary, though. The Cao Dai temple I visited had a massive globe with the eye on it, and I could help thinking of Sauron. :ph34r:

Can penguins sing? I don't know what Vikings would sing, though Wagner's Ring might be an option.

Michael Chu has taken to lurking in the shoe thread on way-off topic. Can we say 'fetish'? I guess we know who's doing the boots in NWN2. There's a new guy called Nathaniel Chapman who made his first post yesterday. So either there's a general order gone out to Obsidian employees to re-engage with their boards, or things are really slow in the office at the moment. Customisation is good, and is supposed to be an aspect of the new globalised world economy where consumers get exactly what they want (and the producer gets screwed). I think it would be good to have a Sims 2-like appearance generator, and a game I downloaded a few days ago, Mount & Blade, does have something very similar.

The build up was great - all these little side-quests that tilted the balance one way or another. What was missing was the battle itself - a full-scale battle outside the Khoonda building, where your allies could die and the results of your helping (or sabotage) were played out in full. Droids, mercenaries, militia, turrets, mines, Vrook, and you, all slugging it out - would have been fun. Great build up, but they didn't get the pay-off right.

I hope they televise it. I wonder how you claim sovereignty over a rock with a ship. Do all the sailors line up on the 'shore' and sing "This land is your land, this land is my land"? In Danish, that is. This has the makings of another cod war.

Well, at least that was actually a challenge! I can dance a lot better in Pirates! than in real life. It was a bit odd, though. I remember thinking the first time 'Am I actually going to have to do this?' And I wish they'd had more variety of music.

There was a plan a few years ago that new recruits to the RAF (Royal Air Force) should be given compulsory dancing lessons. Veterans were complaining that the force was in danger of losing its reputation for suaveness and romance.

Most ads in the 50s were for cigarettes or washing powder, I think. Not that increasing sales of washing powder to gamers would be a bad thing.

The welcome closure of the bionic vision thread indicates that Fionavar has been and gone, and yet this thread remains.

How many people have heard of Darth Vader? More than would recognise the name 'Darth Sidious', I think. 'Best Bad Guy' can be interpreted in so many different ways.

Vader's definitely the most famous, the iconic villain of Star Wars known even to non-fans. I suppose Sidious is the greater villain, though, as the mastermind behind it all.

I agree. And since Obsidian appear to have signed on with a publisher for PNJ shortly after Kotor 2 was released, certainly not a waste of time or money. Lots of people like this game.

Foolish words in the age of google.

It is? I've never heard of it (not that that means much. :"> ) Which games are using this 'Eberron'?

Yep, Wikipedia agrees with you. I have a Lovecraft-crazed friend swears there's a real one, but he might be joking/deceived/barking mad. It's possible he's mad because he has read the real one. :ph34r:

I thought it was a real history book.

Isn't this something that we're better off not knowing?
