    Forgotten Realms ... where is their analogues to 'heaven' and 'hell'. I'm no expert, but I can only think of alignment deities and different planes, not a mortal's eventual 'paradise' or 'damnation'.

    I was just curious, not suicidally self-loathing.

    School for what, you has not mentioned this previously recently.

    Super cool new galactic data visualization maps. The red dot is the Milky Way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rENyyRwxpHo

    The cheese, it is grating.

    Whatever happened to the OP, anyway, what's her name, Maria, if she was even a she, you never know. What does BSN have that we don't. Nothing. And yet everything.

    Oh my ... yes, mmm, oh yeah ... soon, precious. 4K Blu-ray confirmed, coming late 2015. Media and players by Christmas then. Will need more time than that to actually get a 4K display, however, so, maybe early 2016 a 50" 4K UHDTV will be one large, maybe twelve hundo. Saving now. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=14923

    Is it true German drivers must pay something like $2000 for a road license ... I sort of wish that were true here, if so. A steep monetary value for a privilege seems like the right filter for the consistently insane, self-unaware ten-percenters out there, trying to kill the rest of us with their motorized assault weapons. A road less-traveled by riff-raff, I can only imagine. Not that I could afford that much for a license ... hopefully motorcycle licensing would be cheaper, at least. Did you know BMW made motorcycles before cars.

    Please, Scarlett, Monte.

    Yeah... this is totally reasonable. The art in BG is *far worse* than the wholesale slaughter of millions of people. Good call. Really, truly, it is nice to see I'm among such well-reasoned posters here on the forums. It's hyperbole, don't be an idiot. Hyperbole is exaggeration. Like saying you ran a million miles this morning. What Tartantyco crafted is an epigram: 'a concise, witty, memorable, and sometimes surprising or satirical statement'. No exaggeration. Could even take it further, call it an anticlimactic epigram: 'a figure of speech in which statements gradually descend in order of importance'. He went from Hitler, to bin Laden, to the artist. Pretty damn funny no matter what it's called.

    Those are real faces, aren't they. I am gonna trip into a valley of uncanny when I play the final game, aren't I.

    My everyday work life is a Sisyphean rejection of comfort. Whose granny did I run down in a past life to deserve this. No one's, that's who, there is no god. Who cares about experience point vagaries, it's Wednesday, new comics, something more important.

    Ninth-grade me wrote a book report for Dune ... looking down my nose at Herbert from high on a horse having read LOTR four grades prior. I remember being terribly dismissive (or just terrible), and the opposite of impartial. Even in 1986, nerd book cliques were divided between fantasy and sci-fi, Tolkien versus Asimov or Herbert. It was the numerous languages conceived in the former, that turned our glasses gang into elitists, though. As per above, how is kiting not effective in PoE. Or am I misunderstanding. I thought that was the only way to manage mobs.

    Really, more insane than decrying placeholder voice-acting, at the same time misattributing the owner of the voice, and repeatedly devaluing a named individual by demoting her to "chick" status.

    Are you guys in different parts of the world ... I was wondering how homogeneous the printing content was, for the new Player's Handbook. For instance, there are quotes in character creation from different D&D novels, used to describe racial characteristics and whatnot.
  16. ManifestedISO
    So no Monkey Grip, right.
  17. ManifestedISO
    No, I hate getting popcorn between my teeth. Wells Fargo is a codename for "We'll **** You."

    Oh yeah, sorry Bruce, when starting Icewind Dale, you create your own party, from one to six characters. As far as I remember, there are no NPCs that join. All story dialogue occurs between the first character you make, and whomever holds the quest, basically. It uses very old D&D rules, like I mean AD&D, or 2nd Edition I believe, with THAC0 and everything. Percentage points into Pickpocketing, Disarm Traps, Lockpicking, all that, at level-up, not skill points. This game is like that one French cheese you keep on the second from the top shelf, behind the nutmeg--looks like something it's not, but when you taste it, your mouth says, mmm, not bad, nice texture, predictable flavor, with a pleasant after-taste.

    Hmm, well I guess I should get down off my silent, irradiated high horse, since I've only ever, uh ... played New Vegas ... for three or four hours on ... Xbox 360. Not that I was complaining before, I just kept it to myself how little the game grabbed me. Hopefully on PC, the characters won't seem so floaty, and that wackadoodle bottlecap currency will make sense.

    What do you mean, Hurl has always been self-motivated in an upright position.

    Oh, no doubt, I got the sword from the lady lake spirit, killed the basement bugs, the warehouse wolf, and a couple others. It's so weird now, having different characters level up at different speeds. Like my thief got to third level before the mage reached second. I'm loving this game, again. Healing is a pretty difficult thing to manage, but the payoff is a thrill when you survive a legion of undead with nine hit points left between two characters.

    Using it is great, the Ignore Preference, literally like throwing out a chamber pot, since there is no convincing inanimate leaky poo containers to smell like vanilla beans. Let the poor, overworked forum gardeners shovel it off the sidewalk. I mean you can still see it from your window, still see their avatars, but the stink is gone.

    I would be the opposite. My spouse would have to talk me down from the absolute necessity and utility and practicality of something like an R8 V10. Groceries aren't gonna get themselves--no reason not to get that milk home as fast as possible. Not married, though, so ... What size did you get, the new 4, a 1-series, a classic 3, beefy 7, a white 5, what ...
  24. ManifestedISO
    No, but I'm pretty sure Bruce drives a Prius.
  25. ManifestedISO
    Oh, god, please don't let it be a Prius, please don't let it be a Prius, please don't let it be a Prius ...
