I would assume, since it being held in New York, that the time zone is Eastern Standard Time.

~Di, go here. Follow the prompts and everthing will work out fine. All upgrades to IE automatically port your setting and favorites over and should be totally painless.

The same author that quipped "purebred German Bratwurst"? I wonder what that could mean.

Here you go.

Well, according to Wiki, he was only 5'7" but that was average for the day.

I really like their ideas for loot outlined under point #1. I wish WoW would look into something like that.

Wait, if the media controls the electorate, wouldnt the leadership have to court the media to remain in power?

But imagine the wailing and sobbing if they sold us a 10 hour game.

^Its like the rice in your Chinese dinner, its there for filler.

I love Raising Arizona, the humor just hits me right in the funny bone. I havent seen any of the others.

Wait a damn minute, LHC up to full power in 2012....predicted end of the world....coincidence? I dont think so!

Interesting you should mention that, I have a question. When I purchased BG from GoG the first step was to download or run the file. I chose to download it to a folder and then run it from there. Is that the installer package you are referring to? Does my downloading it to a folder on my PC mean Im safe from GoG going belly up? That I can just install it whenever I want regardless of GoG or does it still phone home to GoG before firing up the installer?

Im not sure what all that has to do with anything but my point was directed at those posters in this thread who have never parented a minute of their lives yet somehow feel like they have it all figured out and are an authority on the matter. How do I put it nicely? They need to pull their heads out of their posteriors because they dont have a clue. Come into the thread with their chests all puffed up trumpeting this and that nonsense? Facts? Life experience? Screw that! Guess thats par for the internet course. I couldnt care less what the cop did, Im just addressing the knowitalls. To answer your questions, neither of those count as parenting. See, parenting is a full time job that you never get a break from. You (the parent) are responsible for every aspect of that childs development from birth until they leave the home and they depend on you for that guidance. Babysitting is a few hours gig where your job is to basically keep them from dieing on your watch.

Or one for time spent parenting vs. people who have never parented a minute of their lives. And no, watching your younger sibling for an hour doesnt count, at all, in any capacity.

IMO, its because having a physical copy gives people a feeling of ownership where a digital copy is at the discretion of the supplier. The faux GoG going out of business and the resultant "what about my games" is a good example of this. If we could somehow "own" the digital version I dont think as many people would be adverse to it.

What about, one of the best games ever? Oh, thats definately the vibe I get from almost everyone. Its just that certain comments weigh more, like Gromnir calling it "navel gazing", which is the worst possible reading for me.

Ug, thats what Im afraid of. Ill probably buy it "just to have it", and see what all the hubbub was about from you guys.

I wish I was a Q.

Look at the size of that paw! Was Baby part bobcat or something? And yes, thats a bit creepy, as I would guess they pressed his dead paw into the clay. Oh, and sorry for your loss. I hate it when pets die.

He hasnt been around since January. Wonder what happened to him.

Agreed. I just bought and downloaded the game from GoG and it looks terrible. I made it past character creation and buying a few things at the inn in the beginning before I had to turn it off lest it destroy all fond memories I have of the game. Can't you circumvent the rez with just the wide screen patch (and some gui hack), or is my memory really that faulty? I gather from the previous posts that TuTu seems to work.

Green card? Citi-zen-ship? What are these strange words you speak? He should just jump the fence like everyone else and then demand we dont deport him, while taking advantage of our social programs.

^Should have sold it on Ebay. I caved to the sirens song that is cheap games and joined GoG. Dont know what Ill buy but seeing $9.99 for BG w/ TotSC and $5.99 for Arcanum was just too much to pass up.
