  1. Took the family to Happy Feet. My daughter loved it and a couple parts made me chuckle. At 2 hours its a bit too long. Also watched The DaVinci Code. Never read the book but I like the movie. Didnt really get why the church would want to hide the bloodline of Christ. It would seem like having a living heir of a god would trump adjusting some religous history.
  2. And that helps addicts out how? Or are you looking at this from a strictly financial point of view?

    ^Hmmm, I dont think so. If you remember back when they raided his apartment his map was vastly more populated then the professors.
  4. Is there an Inn at Highcliff or am I just friggin blind?

    @ElNino: Thanks for the link to the novels. Going to read them right now.
  6. Lol, I know what you mean. I returned from the ruins and told the guy his backpay was gone - Chaotic shift (yay). Then I talk to the parents and say something like "you shouldnt make up stories" - BAM, 3 point Good shift. EDIT: And thanks to those that answered my question. I guess that makes sense of the Warlocks need to be Chaotic and/or Evil.
  7. Yeah, I figured it out last night. Quick question for all you D&D brains, why is a Warlocks powers dependant on him staying Chaotic? His powers arent spells nor divine grants, they are abilities born into the person. AFAIK, Sorcerers share this trait too and arent restricted to an alignment so why Warlocks?
  8. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not who you think I am. I've just started using this tag about two and a half yeahs ago, and I never posted on the Black Isle's boards; and even if I did, it would never have been enough to be remembered by. Having said that, this is not a reason to stop the party! Kooky. Whats the odds of two Australians picking the same nick and visiting the same boards?
  9. Two years since transplant, a long, rocky road since then, it looks like I may finally be getting back to a normal, healthy, firearm-obsessed life. I'm off steroids completely and down to a smidgeon of cyclosporin, and should be off the meds completely by the end of January. Provided no big disaster happens between now and then (to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me), the whole business should all be behind me. What the hell happend? IIRC, it was a bone marrow thing. OMG, long time no see! Hope you're doing well.

    Loved last nights episode. I find it refreshing that they actually, you know, advance the plot every episode. So, the million dollar question, did Jenny shoot Micahs father in the end?
  11. Happy Birthday!!! Might as well send this out to Surreptishus too whos 27 today according to another board.
  12. Finally watched Lucky # Sleven and it was awesome. Also watched Haunted Highway which is so bad it defies logic.
  13. Good to see you again. He/she/it is now engaged to the poster know as Kate. EDIT: Oh, and hi Imoen!
  14. Just made it to the children by the ruins and am loving the game. Couple of things have made me go "Hmmmm" though. With growing dread Ive realized that Im (the human player) the weak link in the combat. Everyone is way more efficient in combat if Im not controlling them. If I could, I would rename my guy (warlock) to "Street Sweeper" because he just kicks ridiculous amounts of butt. He rips off Eldrith Spears / Chains like a machine gun. I dont even have to do anything except control the rogue, open the door, and let the dwarf and warlock lay waste. A more menacing issue though is the fact I just got an in game message that my warlock is about to not be able to be a warlock anymore if my alignment shifts any more toward lawful. WTF!? Im getting lawful shifts left and right for the more mundane things. "What, you saved the kids outside the ruins?" - lawful shift. "You talk to people like a normal shmoe?" - lawful shift. Ive tried being Chaotic by always pimping for extra loot from people and for christ sake, I even jacked the refugee's for a reward. What kind of bastage jacks homless refugee's for loot? Ill tell you who, a person that doesnt get a Chaotic shift for it. So, I beseech you big brain modders for help. I just dont have it in me to start over right now and try to be more Chaotic. Can someone please help me, and by "help me" I mean "hold my hand", through the process of opening whatever file I need to open to edit my Warlocks alignment back down a few notches?
  15. I often moderate while wearing a false moustache. Is it one of those long, thin ones that curls at the ends that you can stroke and twist menacingly? Ive always wanted one of those.
  16. Just went to your link and read up on your module. Looks pretty interesting. I was going to vote and give you a big fat 10 but then it wanted me to register and all that so I lost interest in voting.

    ^I think he just uses his telekinesis to basically rip the head open although thats pure speculation on my part.
  18. Alone.......Im so utterly alone..... So Im at the part where Im being sent off to Neverwinter all by my lonesome. Now that Ive had more time with the game the controls are slightly more usable. I know this is old hat to you all but I really liked seeing things in dialog like [diplomacy] or [lie] or [intimidate]. So far I I also though it was kinda interesting that my elf stepfather actually managed to aggrivate me to the point that I threatened to "beat the hells out of him" at one point, lol. Having fun so far!
  19. I think I ran into my first minor bug last night. I just entered chapter one and saved those two kids in the house. Afterward when I try to talk to whatshername in the next room she says something and I have the lone choice of "continue". When I click that the dialog box just closes. Im able to continue but I hate leaving "quest" things unsolved (and not getting my reward. ) I think its because Im not patched to 1.02 but I was kinda going to wait for 1.03 because of all the "My f-ing game wont run AT ALL after 1.02" threads Ive read. Also, occasionally, the little kid (thief) who I picked up portrait wouldnt display and Ive had some training dialog boxes open up that were just blank.

    I was wondering how HRG knew the exact date and location of his daughters murder. How does he know Sylar will do it, because the other girl with the artist is clairvoyant too? I liked this episode very much.
  21. Ok, I have a pretty stupid question. Im totally lost on how to add the blast shapes to the Eldritch Blast. When I was playing the tutorial it said something about combining a shape to your blast and I just didnt get it. I took the spear and another one (destructive somethingorother)and they are both sitting on my warlocks quickbar. So, in battle, I just click the Eldritch Spear button and it fires. Is that the way Im supposed to be combining a shape to the blast or do you have to "assign" a shape to you blast some way?
  22. :D
  23. Well, this thread is pretty much shot. Any "impressions" anyone may have had are long lost in this multi-page pissing contest.

    Fun episode. That politician brother is really turning out to be a lying dirtbag. I had to roll my eyes when the kid used the phone at the end. I mean c'mon, who DOESNT have powers now?
  25. Ok, so I finally finished the tutorial and entered chapter 1. I like the game but have to admit the controls are driving me crazy. The camera is the pits, plain and simple. I have to play with my hands crossed so my right hand is on the mouse and my left hand is on the arrow keys for the friggin 8 billion view adjustments you have to do merely walking 10 feet. Dont even get me started on indoor areas. I also dont like how your party members just wander off screen to do their thing and you cant see what the hell is going on with them until you click their portrait. I do like the battles but I have to get used to the wierd pause between swings where everyone is just kinda standing there. I like the spell animations and my Warlock seems to be kicking some decent butt. I suppose if I fool with the AI I can make my party members stop running off to fights off screen but whoever made those camera controls needs to be horse whipped. EDIT: Oh yeah, got a pretty good giggle when
