I certainly never objected to the level cap. Especially the second time through. Why would you need to be a higher level? But Crashgirl said he* got bored with the cap. So long as I can carry the character through from BG1 to BG2, I've got no problems. I'd like more missions, and so forth. I don't mind about items if are typically overpowered munchkin fodder. *What is up with that, anyway?

So if I understand you correctly Ossetians and Abkhazians should put up with being forced at gunpoint to live with the nationalistic "georgia to georgians" georgians just so Nato gets a foothold in the region Russia considers its vital iterest zone and we our interest perifery (and georgia wont get into nato with 2, count them 2, ethnic regions unofficialy independant yet unrecognized by the freedome equality etc loving world)? Howcome the albanians didn`t have to "put up" with the serbs? Oh, camp bondsteel. Howcome Iraqis, Afghanistanis, Palestinians, Ira... you know what, nvm. lol Not at all. I'm not for a moment saying the Ossetians and Abkhazians have to put up with being occupied. My suggestion would be a Northern Ireland style political engagement. A process you can hardly claim we Brits are two-faced or uncommitted about this close to the anniversary of Enniskillen. Whereas by your rationale Britain would be perfectly within its rights to roll tanks within a few miles of Dublin because it's in our 'zone of interest'.

That was in order, mate. And I'm now off to my friend's house rather than the pub Would be anti-social to go spreading my germs.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_...and/7564004.stm I know we've got a fair few Scotsmen on the boards. I thought we should offer them our support in this neglected sector of the War on Foreign Devilry. Any good crayfish recipes?

So if I understand you all correctly you're saying Georgia has to just put up with being invaded because you want a counterweight to the United States?

I have instituted a new What Would Theslug Think I'd Do? Policy (WWTTID) So in response to my apparent lung infection 1. Ate a pound of grilled pork 2. Drank two bottles of brown ale 3. Ate an entire ginger root raw 4. Made a dwarven NPC for my gaming group 5. Went back to sleep for 4 hours I am not completely cured, but I feel pretty damn good. Drenched in sweat when I woke up, but virtually no cough and no wheezing. Using the same rule, I intend to do a bunch of press ups, then my singing exercises, get dressed and go down the pub.

ROFL. You talk about the Russians being excluded from Iraq as if it was some fiendish Amerikan plot! Have you forgotten that Russia and the 50 BILLION deal they signed with Saddam Hussein happened before the invasion? And the fact that Russia vetoed the invasion? This isn't an example of Russia getting hardd done by, it's an example of them selling out teh Iraqi people! Realpolitik be damned.

I though that was a good one. It's about time someone started suggesting how games can be good. Otherwise how will the poor simps ever make good games?

Thanks, but now I'm confused. I thought Tutu was the 'gold standard' option, as baseline. EDIT: Having re-read crashgirl's comment about level capping in the old thread, I found this cap remover.

Right, I've managed to get a lung infection, and you all know what that means* ...Baldur's Gate! Baldur's Gate, all the way through is massive, and I can't justify spending the time on it for what would be the second time in my life [played BG1 three times]. However, since I can't move about, that doesn't apply.** I need from you people a list of teh mods I should install, and where to get 'em. Looking at the old thread, I see Tutueasy recommended above all. Please let me know in the net couple of hours as I'm bored silly. *You don't. **Until I can get a suspensor lift suit like in that film.

Bill Withers - Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone.

What baffles me is that it doesn't matter how many soulless chump-fests Hollywood turns out to zero succcess, they steadfastly refuse to mass produce awesome films with great production dynamics.

I can't find the comment! Give me the comedy, ice-hockey man!

You know what they say about guys with big feet. I'd find that the scariest bit about running into him.

"our"? I thought you said you were Eastern European, not Russian.

Dwarves?

I guess when you're raised on it you get used to it. I also think that European candy bars always seem to be softer than Hershey and probably wouldn't re-solidify well for this particular pie. You might not like the waxy chocolate, but it is good for some things... Aha, yes, that would make sense. I wonder what else you could use? Just for the sake of variety.

Yeah, but you're clearly a dude. I mean you've got a gun, and everything.

You're claiming Russia is the underdog? You also claim to be in favour of breaking a monopoly. Well, I see this as being about breaking the monopoly one Empire established across the majority of the 'World Island' (Europe/Asia) in the 18th and 19th centuries. A monopoly which can hardly claim to have served the conquered territories very well. And don't trouble to point out the British Empire, because we GAVE away the Empire willingly after WW2 when we began to understand that liberty is a human right, and forced control degraded the nation. Instead you seem to be pushing for a return to the extinct virtues of Empire, where Russia can only have respect when it pushes people around; and the glory of that country can be measured only in its land mass! Such a metric has only one outcome - war. And believe it or not I am genuinely not keen on war. Because unlike ol' Vlad I have to fight in them. I am quite prepared to admit that prior to a few weeks ago my knowledge of the Caucuses extended only to my knowledge of Stalin, and the activities of the wehrmacht. It is uncomfortable, but what is the point of debate if we cannot admit weakness?

That sounds almost gladiatorial.

People graduate university without that faculty, though. People teach university without that faculty. : / Very very true.

That sounds great, apart from the fact you're using hershey bars. I can't understand how anyone can like hershey chocolate. Still, at least it's not Nestle.

Personally I'm frigthened/excited about them putting shark brains in UAVs.

Surely the end of mankind?

I'm beginning to find all this really creepy. Those extrusions are giving me the heebie-jeebies. EDIT: Chemotherapy! Chemotherapy makes your mucus membranes stop replicating, and your hair falls out. Might it not whallop this stuff?
