Humodour

Vodyanoi? Where have you come across them? Lionheart, if anybody ever actually played that game.

The module the Rogue Dao team planned a year ago bears only passing resemblance to the currently in production version of Purgatorio. For example, original plans called for no custom music or voice-over, currently the soundtrack is 3.5 hours long and all of the cutscenes will be voiced over. Another example, no custom creatures were planned, now there are going to be many. The length/breadth/scope in every area of production have been dramatically increased over the interceding year. The quality is also a lot higher I am happy.

I prefer Holy Freeze paladin. Only about 2/3 of the dmg, but what's 1000 to 1500, really? Besides, it is more consistent dmg, and you get the slow, which can boost your longevity considerably. If you ever want a LAN game, give us a holla.

Had lunch with some cousins from the Bohemian village of Sydney.

Example of a productive use of modern technology, which I would miss were electricity to fall:

Yeah, because deadly bacteria pandemics come through once a month and if we don't all take our antibiotics, it's one foot in the grave! But I agree, farming and agriculture are definitely backwards; it's a sign of civilisation when your people are too stupid to be able to figure out how to deal when things get rough and they can't buy at a supermarket anymore. Both my parents renew their gun licenses. If anybody is doing the pillaging, it'll be us! I don't believe overly much in the doomsday, tribal, devolving to primal animals predictions of what would happen after an apocalypse. At least not the the extent people in this thread are romanticising about it, and certainly not to the extent Fallout did. Fallout was fun because it was playing out an extreme worst case scenario which focused on the most primitive aspects of humanity more than anything else. I'm picturing something more like Dark Angel, or Jericho at a pinch.

Replaying BG2 and Dungeon Siege 2's xpack.

I'd recommend the following: No anime.

I like variety. It'd get boring if we had fantasy, realworld, or scifi RPGs only.

Haha my mum's got a bloody backyard that supplies eggs and greens all year round, and fruit in their respective seasons. Not to mention all the books and past experience my family has had with self-sufficiency. You'd be surprised how many people are into that sort or thing, or could work it out.

Do they have subs? We're developing a plan to counteract short and medium range missiles launched from subs and warships, yeah. Doubt it'll be any more effective than America's though.

Just went hiking in the Blue Mountains. What was supposed to be a quick 2 or 3 hour 20km hike turned into 60km because my dad got us lost and refused to concede that fact. Still, it's damn beautiful.

Times like this I'm glad Australia isn't in ICBM range.

Well I thought it was the owner till I noticed nobody was baiting him. I agree that the NWN1 OC was unfinished. But only in the sense that it was your generic bioware campaign. No more unfinished than ToB (considering it was meant to be BG3). It was certainly lacking, but I really enjoyed SoU and HoTU was OK, so it evened out I guess.

Time for Christmas lunch with the relos. =/

I spent Christmas eve dinner with my grandparents and we had a few beers. They are hilarious drunks. Now for Christmas lunch and dinner! Night.

Might not be a good idea to click "I'm feeling lucky" for "Maria Ozawa" unless you really do want your little guy to feel lucky.

You know what they say about a guy with a lot of female friends. He is cursed with having jealous girlfriends? I had a rather embarassing Saturday night. Out clubbing ran into an ex of mine. Things started getting a wee bit emotional and complex, and one thing and another, and a cab arrived and there's all these serious eye contacty things going on but I'm wondering if it makes any sense... and she's always doing my head in with mood swings and... should I go or should I stay, and how to explain... ...A fuse blew in my head. Or maybe something just unstuck itself. The right course of action was clear in an instant. I vaulted the fence next to me and just ran off. I ran like the wind! The sheer unbelievably juvenile thrill of literally running away from teh whole complicated mess propelling me at quite incredible speed. I was exceptionally drunk, but I think I yelled something like "I'm free! Free like a lion, baby! Leaping like a lamb!" then *sproing* jumped a wall and must've disappeared from view. Now, I'm sure I hurt her feelings, but I have got to be honest. It was the most fun I've had all year. I recommend it to anyone. Trouble with the boss? Run off giggling. Exam in partial differential equations? Run off giggling. Confronted by muggers? Run off giggling. I think that was the most awesome thing I've read in a long time.
