A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the (Obsidian) Forum
Fiach replied to Amentep's topic in Way Off-Topic
Yo momma is so short, you can see her feet in her passport photo! Yo momma is so stupid, she sits on the TV and stares at the sofa! Sorry, couldn't resist, overheard my two boys having a yo momma comp! -
I'm pretty sure the people of Ireland, The Raj etc. Would be inclined to disagree, British achievements were gained on the backs of slavery, genocide and economic rape .

Saw two Antonio Banderas movies Gun Shy, a charming comedy, Banderas plays a Captain Jack Sparrow-ish aging rock star, who's wife gets kidnapped in Chile, Banderas is brilliant. The movie was Crowdfunded which is kinda interesting, based on a book called Salty. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3910736/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_8 Black Butterfly, Banderas plays a much darker role as an author with writers block, great movie with a small ensemble cast http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2090465/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_10 -

I went to see It, great movie, excellent camera work, loved the nods to the era like Chopper bikes, Molly, mullets, even the red "V" on the arm cast etc. Can't wait for part 2....hope it doesn't take 27 years! -

Helped along in part by Amazon's pricing tactics in their cool war against major published houses. Why would I spend $20 for either a hardback from B&N or a Kindle edition of a new release when I can buy a new hardback for $12-$16 from Amazon? Crazy thing is since I got my kindle I've read way more books and spent quite a bit less money. Ease of access plus much better deals. You probably know this, but for those who don't, these guys have a list of free ebooks posted every day https://www.freebooksy.com https://www.bookbub.com/ebook-deals/free-ebooks

Saw a good thriller Unlocked http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001057/?ref_=tt_cl_t2 Female agent tries to stop terrorist plot to release a virus. Malkovich chews up the scenery when he gets the chance, Michael Douglas has a short but effective cameo, Orlando Bloom really plays against type of, but yeah good story, a bit of Deus ex machina, but it's believable, nice twists, all 'round good thriller. SPOILERS! suggest you watch without sound https://youtu.be/CCqISHuTgHE -

Would like to recommend a series of books by Justin Cronin, The Passage trilogy. I'm nearly afraid to tell you what it's about, because of spoilers, because the book starts off as if it's a kidnapping, but suddenly swerves into Twilight Zone territory. Suffice to say, while I was reading it the first time, I was playing FO:NV and they felt like an appropriate accompaniment to each other. Links are spoilerific https://www.amazon.com/Passage-Trilogy-Book-ebook/dp/B003TJA8Y2/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1504899633&sr=1-3&keywords=justin+cronin

PS4 Gauns Pledge?
Fiach replied to Fiach's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
So...its icon will only appear on the abilities ring if I'm in combat? Beacuse there's no icon greyed out or anything while out of combat. Thanks for the reply I had the same problem as you. A developer (Devtoi, Programmer at Paradox Arctic) responded to me and explained it, because I thought it was bugged. Guan's Pledge is on the Right Trigger "Quick Items" Menu for the character with the ring equipped. Once you activate it, then you will receive NO confirmation that it is active, except for the combat log message indicating that it has been activated (Guan's Pledge will NOT be listed in the character sheet "Active Effects" and it will NOT show up as a tiny icon next to your character portrait like all of the others. The developer said that the reason for this is because it is a "one off ability" and it is NOT a bug / glitch. Additionally, I just now tested it out for myself. It ONLY works in combat and you MUST be missing some endurance. When you use "Guan's Pledge" it does the same thing as "Second Wind" by restoring a small amount of endurance once activated. It works perfectly fine and is not glitched on the PS4. Wow! Thanks for taking the time to write such a fulsome reply and explain the mechanics of this, I even tried Gamefaqs and nobody knew the answer! Thanks again! No problem I'm happy to help. I hope you are enjoying this game as much as I am! I am indeed, I played it on PC, so it was an easy choice when it hit ps4, it is a brilliant port! Thanks again! -

Going to American Made at the weekend, anyone willing to warn me off, feel free to critique. I like Tom Cruise tbh, hated him until I saw Magnolias, but that made me turn the corner. The Mummy was disappointing compared the the Brendan Fraser version, but an enjoyable enough romp imo. -

How does it work please? I equipped it as a ring, rested...twice just in case, but there seems no way to cast it as a spell or ability on the wheel. Thanks for any insight. -
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the (Obsidian) Forum
Fiach replied to Amentep's topic in Way Off-Topic
An Irish cop sees a car driving erratically and stops it, he approaches the car as the driver rolls down the window. Looking inside, he sees an uncorked bottle of whiskey in the drivers lap a six-pack of beer on the floor and bottle of vodka on the passenger seat. The smell of alcohol was overpowering, as he addressed the Driver. Cop : Sir, have you been drinking? Driver : Certainly officer. Cop : Would care to estimate how much alcohol you have consumed? Driver : Well, I was at the office party and we had dinner, I reckon I drank a bottle of red wine, 2 brandies and a Cointreau. After the dinner I had a few gin and tonics. Then we had a raffle and I won a bottle of scotch, so I split that with my friend while we watched the show. Then when it was over we had a few tequila shots. When I left, I drove to the off licence and got a bottle of Bacardi for my girlfriend, but I just drank that, I think she's gonna kill me when I get home, so I took a few mouthfuls of this bottle of whiskey here, to calm down, then you stopped me. Cop : Sir, would you mind blowing into this Breathalyser for me please? Driver : Why? Do you not believe me? -
PS4 Can't tick Unrestricted Stash
Fiach replied to Fiach's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Yes, I just mentioned that because I kinda hoped changing difficulty would negate Expert. I'm guessing I'm stuck in Export Mode and the restricted stash, if the options to change stuff like ticking Restricted Stash were greyed out, I would understand, but the fact that they aren't greyed out, led me to assume it was an available option. It's no big deal, I can just change it from a solo endeavour to a full party and re-roll another solo. Thanks for the replies! Ps been reading your Chanter build, think I'll give that a shot! -
PS4 Can't tick Unrestricted Stash
Fiach replied to Fiach's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Solo Chanter expert is what I started, but the inventory was annoying with only one character, so I tried dropping difficulty and fixing the Stash box, but it's not working out . Thanks for the replies
