Yeah I spend a weekend in an Anno 2070 - UPlay flamewar. People keep flaming about UPlay without having noticed what changes UBI did do. The scary thing is, turns out that in the flamewar people "proved" that the old DRM still exists because the DRM wasn't removed from their retail disc. They had to install and patch the game and only then would the DRM through a patch be removed... try to explain to internet trolls that Ubisoft is not the toothfairy. When you have DRM on an old game, you do not put the disc under your pillow at night and when you wake up there is a disc without DRM... Sometimes I wonder why we still come to the internet

And it never hurts to be flexible. When you meet, ask? No point dragging her to the theatre if it turns out she isn't into that. Then again, the prospect of going to the theatre can be a good conversation in and by itself. Edit: and don't take advice from Nep, remember he's a lawyer. He charges for advice given by word count

If you're an expert in persuasion you get an extra follower, and the dog doesn't count either. And I think you can get higher than that in practice. If you stretch the definition of "follower". Summoning for example gives you a permanent familiar on top of those.

You need dice. Loads of dice. A roleplayer can never have enough dice. A GM even less so.

awwww =( It was this tiny little house. Hardly qualifying for the term "house". All walls were clad in wood (except for my GM's room where the walls were covered in drawings of DnD monsters) really cozy. In the back there was a staircase leading to the roof, which in the summer was great for hanging out during a break or for waiting if the GM had to talk to some players without the rest of the party there. Got torn down and an apartment building build there instead. My GM's mom apparently got locked up in the psych ward and he moved to a different city. Yeah, going to that neighbourhood really does bring that "The good old days with no worry but passing a saving throw are gone for good" feeling.

The other day I drove past where the house of my old GM from school once stood...

But you aren't doing it, the tiny important difference

And I think I spy the Vampire novels in teh far right of the picture?

It does not get better I am affraid. By the time you wrote this I assume you have mastered all your weapon skills. That means half your action bar is done with. You get skill points fairly rapidly, so you will soon have most skills you want from the right side of the action bar.

Send my CV to a major consultancy. Now I am terrified of their eventual reply...

Hmmm... I can see GoG appearing on my screen saying: All Your YES Are Belong To Us.

They did back down. UPlay is the backing down. They moved away from SolidShield/Tages with a 3 PC activation limit and made it so that your games bind to your UPlay account and that you can play single player stuff offline (UPlay can load offline just fine) after you have activated the game online through UPlay once at the begining.

I need to play both of them as well.

Shouldn't you have ended that post with "End of Line" ?

Siamese And looks a lot like my cat in real life

I finally remembered to set everything to maxium before taking Anno 2070 screenshots: Lady cleaning the windows while in the foreground police are raiding her neighbours... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903280 Oil rigs: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903067 Fuel factory on the outskirts of town: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903135 Police Station and Fire Station: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903301 The Ebahi Trench: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903152 Aqua-farming: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903183 Can you find the cat? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121902990 Greener pastures: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903097 TeeVee: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903116 Random islands: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121903222

I would be more specific and say: anyone who finished it (at least once)

You could check to see where and how the voice files are stored. Perhaps you can replace them with Minsc.

Speaking of vets. My mother took the cat to the vet and he suggested annual blood cleansing/replacement procedures as preventative measures for kidney failure. His reasoning: many cats develop kidney problems at old age and therefor all blood should be swapped once a year before problems arise... and he should be paid a hefty sum to do so. My reaction was: Never take the cat to that charlatan again.

My cat is 19, but she isn't doing too well. Still miss her sister who vanished nearly 10 years ago :/ And sitll feel that nagging guild that I should not have let her out, should have searched more etc

I'm playing "argue with trolls on the internet" I should learn not to, but its damn addictive.

Meh. I was hoping you would have said it was because of your curious nature

The only silly question that keeps nagging me is "Why?" Medical reasons or just boredom or the notion that one should try everything once?

So when do you have to go for the follow up, check up or whatever?

In retrospect perhaps that should have been a clue
