  1. You're actually wrong. The 2nd Yugoslavia ( first was a kingdom that ended in WW II ) might have ceased to exist in 1991, but Serbia together with Montenegro formed a federation called Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until 2003. Majek you know exactly what I mean, no one likes a smartass
  2. I hear you, its wrong though. You would think such an advanced company that is the leading gaming distribution company in the world would understand basic geography. Personally I would be insulted if I lived in any of the countries that use to be part of Yugoslavia That's no excuse, the countries like Serbia and Croatia won't change there borders
  3. @ Drowsy Why does your Steam profile say Yugoslavia? That country hasn't existed for decades
  4. I'm going to a very authentic German restaurant today, they do an excellent Eisbein which I am planning on ordering
  5. And what if a person doesn't want MacD's but orders it anyway? How would you feel then
  6. When a developer renames an engine, what they usually mean by that is that it's changed enough to be considered a new engine. Unless you happen to know the engine code very well, I'll go with Obsidian's take over yours, thanks. I don't think he is saying that is what he believes he is saying what Volo was insinuating
  7. What !!! Okay could the person who has kidnapped the real Shady please return him. This is no longer a joke..you are besmirching his respected gastronomic view !!
  8. Nice one I hope you are correct, imagine all the cool Mods we will see. As time progresses we see Mods getting more and more advanced and improving gameplay. What an amazing era we live in around technical genius
  9. Thank you Humanoid for explaining. Now it makes sense
  10. Its impossible to gross me out with gayness now, I've played far too many of Bioware's newer games. Good to know, good know. This is real progress Drowsy And they say that games can't really improve or change our perspective in life. You are evidence they can. You are no longer grossed out by gayness due to an optional Romance option . Nice one
  11. And your point is? Is that statement incorrect or is the electron engine inferior. As usual I have no idea what you are LOL about?
  12. The more I think about it the more I realize that the best combat option of the new Torment is an automated combat system where the game just randomly calculates who wins and you see a "win" or "defeat " within seconds of the battle starting Lets forget this RT with Pause and TB debate. Lets start to vote for automatic combat outcomes !!!! Who is with me !!!!
  13. One of us clearly hasn't understood his situation, and I doubt its me He says "For the last couple of months I've been working as an intern (required school internship) at a game design company. I can't name who or what, but they are fairly big on mobile. I was hired on as a 3D artist & animator, which is what I want to do with my life. However, when our community manager who also does a lot of marketing and client-interaction got hit with health issues, I got tapped to take over that job temporarily (mostly because of my good written language skills). Yesterday, said manager returned, and then promptly quit. Now I got offered that job full time (and industry standard pay) - which would replace exam assignments and still let me get my diploma, while giving me, you know, a full time job - and allow me fill up my portfolio with launching titles for large publishers, and I do mean large. Like, not Activision large but not far off. On the other hand, I don't enjoy doing this community management and stressful client interaction stuff, I'm an introvert and I only have so much energy available for dealing with annoying people, and it is especially not what I want to do with my life. Also, this company has problems (barely ever make deadlines or milestones, titles are abysmally reviewed, employees sometimes go months without pay and then get it all in one go). Beyond that, the exam assignment I've already got lined up to do is making and generally being the creative driving force behind a 3D animated TV Show in a collaboration between my school and a large animation company. This is practically a dream assignment, but it does mean I will still be racking up student debts especially considering we've already figured out this assignment will take longer than my limited scholarship will cover. This assignment is also a daily two hour to and two hour back commute whereas the job is right here in my hometown, five minutes from where I live." He has a job and he is getting paid(I'm not he is getting paid). But he is a junior so probably isn't been paid well, but he is on the technical career path that he has always dreamed about. In IT everyone needs to take a few years to specialize in a software skill and get hands on experience. This is how you become good at your chosen path, there is no other way. He has the potential now to achieve this But no you think he should do some sad community management job ( which sounds absolute crap based on the status of the company) which he has already told us he doesn't enjoy for what ?? How can you compare this to the real chance he has to get his dream job? No my friend, whatever you smoking I want some nowwwwwwwwwww
  14. You guys see conspiracy theories where none exist The OP meant what he said but I think he underestimated the support for turn-based support
  15. I'll be honest sometimes my Alt-Tab crashes the game, so that's not always an option I could print the manual out, as I mentioned, but its only a few things I needed to reference so that would be a waste
  16. A great-great grandfather of mine fought in the Boer War. Cornwall Light Infantry. Not an officer, though, so the silver spoon probably wouldn't fit. He and his son, however, were the most recent immigrants in my ancestry. (He moved to Ontario in the nineteen-aughts, re-enlisted to train recruits during the Great War, and them moved his family into the States in the '20s. My great-grandfather was born in Canada.) My father's side came out of a mix of Irish and German (or perhaps Danish) Catholics who settled in the coal mining region of Pennsylvania sometime in the middle 1800s. Others ancestors, via my maternal grandmother, have British-sounding surnames and have lived in central NJ for as long as we can trace. So I guess the proper six-word response I'd give is: "New Jersey. **** you for askin'." Wow that's an interesting and prestigious family history
  17. I see what you are saying and I agree. Let me give an example. I just finished IWD and despite the fact I know the AD&D rules I found there were several times I had to reference the manual around what spells to select. What I ended up doing is keeping the manual open on my laptop and playing the game on my gaming rig. But it would have been more convenient to a hard copy of the manual. This is not a reason for me to say "not having a hard copy of the manual detracted from my gaming experience" but it would just made things easier. So I see your point
  18. That's the right perspective, I can only assume Walsie is joking because what he is suggesting makes no sense to me. Without meaning to repeat what I said earlier the best job is a job you love. You'll advance naturally in your chosen career this way. But more important you need a few years of actual work experience in your current field. So your current job will give you this. The money can come later, the work exposure offers you an invaluable experience that money can't buy
  19. I do understand the difference. However, why don't you explain it to me considering it was you who said the IE games were turn based despite the contrary and the definitions on the inXile website. Of course I understand the difference. I can't believe you are even suggesting that I don't know, what an insult to my intelligence !!! Turn based is like....mmm...ermmm...a turn in a game of checkers and RT with Pause is like...a.....a visit to the doctor when someone is before you and you need to wait... Anyway I am really busy at the moment and can't go into more details than that
  20. Humanoid I hold you to such a high intellectual standard that I really wouldn't think that accessing a soft copy of a manual would be an issue? Also you can always print out the manual if you prefer the tactile and usability experience
  21. Definitions are pretty clear to me. They even list the IE games under RTwP. Correct, but I only read the definitions after I made my original post. Hence the usage of the word "EDIT"
  22. It's not about the engine. It's how you play the game. Rhetorical question. What is the default setting of the IE games? Turn-based or RTwP? Answer: RTwP. Hiro I don't think you understand the difference, that's fine we all get confused at times. Let me know if you want me to explain
  23. No, all the classic IE games and Planescape Torment are RTwP. They are not turn-based. So you don't know the difference and thought the previous games were turn-based? And therefore voted turn-based? wow. Hiro if you carry on being cheeky I'll put you over my knee and give you a good spanking...you naughty boy !!! But I did read the InExile definitions and I still voted turn-based...can you forgive me
