Monte Carlo

I pushed a button and changed my avatar. But did something awesome happen? Y/N Sadly not. Sry.

Dude, just put him on ignore like I have.

The Austrian wins.

That was more awesome than Mike Laidlaw's golden 'A' button!

Freaking me out isn't awesome. Or is it?

Worstusername please please please change that avatar pic, it's freaking me out.

Best advice I ever got for novice authors was write chapters 1 - 3, then dump chapter 1 and start your book with chapter 2. It sounds crazy, but it can actually work.

^ A fair point, we can't have too many walking styles.

I thought I'd share the scary, pomp-Wagnerian transformation of Queen into the sort of thing you'd expect to hear in a post-modern Leni Riefenstahl movie... I give you... I'm terribly, terribly sorry.

Wise words Gorgon, you seem a sensible sort. Running panics the men, one should always stroll.

I think that you need to read this. I feel like that about endurance beer-drinking.

you're so cooool. :: fawns ::

I think the game looks great, I didn't know anything about it until that link was posted so many thanks. From the website:

My admiration for the rebels grows daily. J-DAM the Colonel already!

I'd say so dude, the OC is OK but not worth struggling through if you ain't enjoying it. My advice is also to install a trainer module and maybe make up a level 20 character to start with. If you boot up the XP vanilla it takes you to 18 which is lower than if you'd completed the OC. Hope you like it.

MotB tidies up the engine and gives it a big polish. The story is great, the setting is cool, it feels epic without being cheesy, it has a love-it-or-hate-it surprise mechanic outside of the normal D&D rules. Folks like me who prefer sand-boxy old-skool games love it and the role-players who loved Torment and stuff also dig it big time. FFS it has a giant technicolor dead bear monster-thing as a joinable NPC. Gotta love that. It also has one of the best pieces of written conversational dialogue I've ever seen in a CRPG ever. :: shrugs :: They were clearly doing something right. If you've already got NWN2 installed it ain't like you've got much to lose.

He needs to see somebody about that IMO. He has issues. He'll never learn how to live with anybody until he's learnt to live with himself. I know, I'm deep. This guy, OTOH, is a fuqing legend and needs no hel whatsoever, this phase will pass. Hopefully he'll be about fifty by then, but it will pass. I know, I'm shallow. Is she hot or does he really, really want a Green Card? There are no Queensbury Rules in this game, my love. FFS get out there. Forget your ex. I know, I'm deep. Cheers MC

Realpolitik, Old Chap. I can't believe anybody can get so hot under the collar about it. Metternich would have approved of the UN for it's opacity and hopelessness in the face of reality. J-DAM the Colonel, stabilise the place, get that oil flowing and then start tickling the next Middle Eastern domino, Bahrain or Syria or Iran. They're all gonna fall, baby, they're all gonna fall! Which way is the question.

The Hangover I don't know why it took me so long to get around to seeing it. In any case, it's a great comedy with some genuine LOL moments and well-observed characters. OK, it ain't the comedic Holy Grail some have painted it out to be, but OTOH it's head and shoulders above the competition by present-day standards (Seth Rogen et. al need to watch and learn). And, pushing forty, Heather Graham is still smokin' hawt. Recommended.

You need to understand that this is a new and innovative feature introduced for your gaming benefit and pleasure. Get with the programme.

I'm sure we could come to an arrangement.

In the UK all forms of gambling include tax at the point of making the stake (i.e. you pay the tax when you buy the lottery ticket - your prize isn't taxed).

Just re-quoting my previous comments to gftd1's sentiments on US isolationism for Di's and Guard Dog's delectation. You can't put toothpaste back in the tube!

Seriously, I would start my own hardcore AFV collection in a custom-built facility with some land where I could drive my tanks. I would wear a General Patton style helmet and goggles and chomp on a large cigar. I would obviously need to base this facility in a large, deserted American SW state so I could also test the ordnance on my .50 cal MGs and 88mm tank guns (I'd be restoring a Tiger I).
