Besides the hilarious lyrics, I quite like the Massive Attack-like sound.

SoZ: Nine rare resources
There's this quest: A fire genasi in Neverwinter blacklake district wants to build a museum. You have to collect nine resources for him. I can only find eight - mithral, cold iron, harvest mead, zalathar, adamantine, darksteel, salt, knucklehead ivory. What's the ninth resource? I heard it was dragon mead, but I don't want to beleive that you have to be idiotic enough to help these black dragons to be able to finish this quest. Is there any way to get to a ninth resource now that I've slain these dragons quite a while ago?

NWN 2 +
Yes, that bothers me a lot in SoZ, because there are these fights on the overland map (especially if you go for bounties that rarely seem to drop). Even if it's only 10 seconds or so, constant walk some seconds - load - fight - load - walk some seconds is frustrating.

My opinion on the words "dialogue" and "dialog".
Dito OK, my language is on the level of the dark ages anyway, except for certain more advanced sound shifts, also we don't even have an imperfect past tense... This thread is a fun read

NWN2: Storm of Zehir is out!
In my opinion, very much so. Damn addictive. It's no comparison to MotB however: Very thin story, no chatting companions etc. But the whole trading-stuff, exploring, gathering resources, cohorts, trading posts, sightseeing, very challenging fights (if you let the AI buff itself) make it time consuming and, as said, addictive.It's just too cool moving through the jungle, switching for a short and dangerous while to your fighter / crafter who can't hide from monster but detects a bamboo-bush that he then crafts into a 'howling staff' - it's just too much fun to be bad

NWN 2 +
It was the original NWN2. Things have improved since then, however there's the new and still existant bug with custom portraits. The framerate halves if any character / animal companion with a custom portrait is in the party, and you have to examine them or any item in the inventory to get the framerate back up. There are some pretty cool persistent worlds out there One problem is that it's a lot more difficult to create such worlds with the new toolset, but the results are rewarding, imo. There also seem to be problems with the DM client. Both these things result in a less active online community.

Not Islam
I doubt there is more corruption or outdated-ness than in christian circles - simply because the religion is newer, and corruption is a normal state of being for any human. Also, do you have a link or something more substantial on the claim in the last sentence? Btw, on the topic of Islamic countries: Religion and state should never mingle. This is a very, very bad idea and always automatically causes trouble, at very least in the form of discrimination. The same is true not only for Islamic countries, but any state founded on religion. Cf. one nation under god, or our constitution which begins with something like 'In the name of god the almighty...' - which actually should be considered blasphemy and hubris by religious people.

TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline, READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING.
and whatever passing along viruses has to do with this is beyond me. ... Now wait, it's not. It's a reason not to use TSLRP, am I right?

Are the shadows broken? And wouldn't a game with men holding hands be banned in the US for evil sexual content?

What you did today
What Gfted1 said, I wonder too. Today I was at the Opeth concert - they were great of course. But the surprise, to me, were Cynic. Jazz metal or something Really complex stuff, even if the flow of the songs was predictable, it was all interesting. Got to listen to some of their stuff now, so good night

My opinion on the words "dialogue" and "dialog".
This kind of change was, even before the invention of more or less mandatory spelling rules, and will probably always be something that is difficult to accept, and people will fight against it, and it will be in vain Fortunately, because that is what makes language an interesting field for us people studying literature and linguistics, for comedians and hobby critics. By the way, I dislike people using 'there' for 'their' or 'they're' and 'armor' for 'armour' - oh wait...

The Music Thread
Don't drink for a week and you've got money for both of'em - worth it for sure. Ok, in NIN's case only when Reznor's in a good mood and tech plays along - but then it will be teh awesomeness! Getting pretty ecstatic even thinking about the NIN concert, lol. Or maybe it's just because I'm listening to Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor (whole CD, currenty playing: Laura II)

What you did today
No snow here but rain unfortunately The last bits of snow lying around melted today. Now that's just mean. I'm guessing that the account got caught in amongst all the spam accounts I deleted when I logged in yesterday. Also - hello. Hi! Good to see you :D Today was an easy day, surprisingly. First thing in the morning was giving a lecture on the book I mentioned once here. Next thing was buying some plank parts to break, then training, working a few hours, cooking and eating. I don't know why it all felt so easy, but it's great Now I'm just listening to music, playing some SoZ later. I could even watch a fim, hm...

New Rig
The 280 isn't cool either. Its price/performance is still lower than that of a 4870 or a 260 (216). Rosbjerg: A review of the 4870 Golden Sample: at bittech There are cool 280, i.e. watercooled: review at bittech, too

What are you playing now?
I'm currently playing the addon, Guardians of the Light, for the first time on the side of the dwarves. Also: SoZ! It's a real change that the fights are so hard, and an annoyance that even long-lasting buffs wear off as soon as you leave a battle-card, making clerics and wizards a poor choice compared to favoured souls and socerers :/ other than that: fun!

Not Islam
Yay Killian, did you engage in a rhetoric course? I find it beautifully phrased, but of course it's prone to seem too smooth for people who like to think reality is and always will be cruel - while they do all they can to keep it that way. Yes, I'm talking about you here, Morgoth. If you just accept violence and add your own prejudice to it, why would anything ever change? Might be of course you're comfortable with the situation.
