...hold yer tongue, Messiah!!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...dunna be soo dunce, dwarf...BIS be dead cuz they was the only moneymakin' division o' a much larger, financially flounderin' company...but yea, BIOweenia be where theys at cuz o' some sound business decisions...like the one they made when they listened to the future BIS staff 'bout BG...or when they got help from BIS on SoA & ToB...sound decisions that payed off bigtime...BIS didna make BIOweeenia, but theys sure as the hells helped out alot on the way...an' now it seems it be payback time, since Obsidz be gettin' a whole helluva lotta scraps from the BIOweeenian table...coincidence???...Methinks not... <_< ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...try tellin' the whole truth, dwarf, since ya knows it...if'n it wasna fer the peoples what eventually started the Black Isle Studios division o' IN-EPT-PLAY, BIOweeenia wouldna be what they is; 'member who convinced the BIOweeenians not ta make the original BG jus' a DS ripoff...or what 'bout all the work BIS did fer the BIOweeenians on SoA & ToB's QA, etc...ya knows as well as we all does that that be the reason the BIOweeenians trust Feargie soo much... <_< ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...Josh an' Feargie should both know better than to give "the community" ammo fer the days ahead; 'member HoW, lads???...'member IWD2???...as I was one o' the few in the BIS camp durin' both o' those fun times at BIS High, I won't go inta details, but Josh an' Feargie was also there in the middle o' the mud waist high, so's ya'd figure theys'd 'ave learned theys lessons...p'rhaps all this be be a few li'll bumps in the road, but that be what I's thought an' held me position fer durin' HoW an' IWD2's production...mebbe it be time I's learned me lesson... " ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...them 'tards be jus' doin' what IN-EPT-PLAY (damn filter) did when the BELL tolled fer them; grabbin' as much cash as possible 'fore the ends hits hard...mebbe they got in contact wit' Herve ta find out what ta do when financial ruin knocks at yer door... " ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...yer not missin' much; save yer cash... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...either way, seems we's all doomed...ah, well; we's had a good run... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...most new gamers these days look fer the eye candy an' not a handful o' aged 2D cRPGs...more's the pity... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...dear Gods; the gully dwarf makin' sense wit' a well thought-out an' dead-on-the-money perspective...ain't this a Sign o' the Apocalypse???... ...be afraid... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...no swappin' CDs be the only "advantage", sounds like (or ye could jus' do a full install o' the games an' not 'ave to after installation anyways)...jus' a quick money grab fer all those who need new copies, I's'd imagine... " ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...fer some reason, this li'l "discussion" reminds me o' the fun we's had wit' the rumor mill durin' IWD2's production...more's the pity... " ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...that's my line, lad...I's'll let ya borrow it this time, though... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...I uses a Linksys router an' dropped a Linksys wireless NIC in the fiancee's machine an' things run smooth...give 'er a hook, I says... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...oh, crud...why, Jebus, why???...ya didna install that Norton crapola in yer rig yet, did ya???...chalk full o' holes an' a resource hog like noone's business...ya'd 'ave been faaaaaaaar better off wit' Kaspersky, Trend Micro, etc...send it back, laddie; send the bugger back!!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...well, I was runnin' through Oblivion until it became far too Morrowindish ( I's'd also like ta update me view on Oblivion from very good ta damn, this be monotonous )...now, I's jus' waitin' fer NWN2 an' tinkerin' wit' Anachronox e'ery once in a while (unfortunately, I canna seem ta git inta the game no matter how hard I tries)...mebbe I's'll hit PS:T or the IWD's fer one more go 'round 'afore NWN2 hits the shelves... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...well, then, let's hope that NWN2 doesna 'ave the same problems wit' Radeon gpu's as the original NeverWorkin'Right does... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...unless you plan on runnin' games like Oblivion an' such at 1600x1200, ye'd be wastin' yer money goin' fer the X1900XTX, or e'en the nVidia 7900GTX...my Sapphire X800GTO2 softmodded (all 16 pipelines enabled) an OCed ta a li'l o'er X850XT PE speeds (575 core, 615 memory) runs Oblivion just fine at 1280x960 on me ol' ViewSonic G90fB...if I was ye, I'd jus' grab an AMD dual core (if ya can afford the 4400 X2, go fer it; but the 3800 X2 be fine as well) a 7900GT on an ASUS A8N-E mobo wit' 2 gigs o' ram (OCZ be me preference there) an' let the good times roll...that is unless ya wants the "top o' the line new tech"; I canna really see Conroe or the next gen AMD offerin' makin' too much o' a difference right now, ta be perfectly honest...today's dual core processors should be good ta go fer a few years anyways... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...I always luvs ta hear the ol' "rose-colored glasses" arguement when peoples bring up classics like PS:T an' how, years later, no cRPGs since match up ta it still...what a load o' bullshyte; still...as was mentioned already, change can be a good thing, but wit'out progress ta back it up, it be useless an' actually destructive ta the industry...there'll always be newer an' better eye candy, but the lack o' actual content in newer games be why peoples like meself an' others, ta this day, still mention the ol' classics wit' a tear in our eye an' an ache in our collective hearts...that be why theys still talked of an' used as the Measurin' Sticks o' the Industry, peoples; once greatness be achieved, anythin' less be a grand step in the wrong direction... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...jus' picked up a copy o' Oblivion an' I gotta say, with the exception o' targetin' suckin' on 3rd person view (me preferred view), she may jus' be the best new game I's played since the ol' IE engine retired; so far, anyways, ain't terribly far in her yet...certainly surprisin', what wit' Boringwind blowin' soo damn hard...if NeverWinter Nights 2 can boast this kinda gamin' entertainment, Obsidz'll 'ave hit the mother load... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...guesses I's'd win, then...'course, all who play PS:T do... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...Planescape: Torment (fer the umpteenth time), Icewind Dale (prolly on my 3rd or 4th playthrough this time 5 years ago), and BG II: Shadows of Amn (more's the pity)... :D ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

...nuthin' like a good RPG...takes yer mind offa the real world... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...
