The legal status of the old Black Isle games?
1. right now I use Quantum Fireball and Maxtor (had 'em for 4 years now).. before that an IBM which I sold off to someone else, had that one since 1996 and he still has it! and with my first computer from 94 (sitting behind me and acting like a server) is a very old 400 mb harddisk, still functional! and a newer 10gb one.. I think they are IBM as well! 2. I always use Norton and the newest thing they have .. I clean up my harddisks rather often! using defragment or scanddisk etc. and uninstall and reinstall Windows once every second year!

some bonus info
well this thread does not serve a specific purpose .. only to give any reader a little bonus info! I've just searched and learned why the different months and days are called what they are .. and thought I would share it! if you know any related information (or if I made a mistake), or just some other funny little piece of info you think people should know .. post it! alright here we go January - after the Roman God Janus, God of doors and entrances.. February - after Februus Roman God of purification March - after Roman God of War, Mars April - The name is derived from the Latin aprilis, either from the Latin word aperire which means "to open", probably referring to growing plants in spring, or from the Etruscan name Apru for Aphrodite. May - after Roman Godess Maia Maiestas (also called Fauna, Bona Dea (the 'Good Goddess') and Ops). June - After Juno, the Roman Queen Godess .. equal to Hera of Greek mythology .. July - was renamed after Julius Caesar; previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin.. August - was named in honor of Augustus Caesar. The month reputedly has 31 days because Augustus wanted as many days as Julius Caesar's July. Augustus placed the month where it is because that's when Cleopatra died. Before Augustus renamed August, it was called Sextilis in Latin, since it was the sixth month in the Roman calendar which started in March. September - from Latin Septem, meaning 7 .. it was the seventh month in the year after March. October - from Octo 8 (read above reason) November - from Novem 9 ^ December - from Decem 10 ^ Then the days of the week .. Monday - From Mona the Saxon Moon Godess Tuesday - from the Nordic god Tyr (in Old English, Tiw, Tew or Tiu) Wednesday - The name comes from the Old English W

The legal status of the old Black Isle games?
You do realize HDDs are more unstable than CD-Rs right? As soon as your HDD goes, you can say buh-bye to all your games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well in the 11 years I've been a PC owner a harddisk has never failed me .. but alot of CD's have, I guess it's because I treat my internal computer better than accessories.. plus I burn copies of them once in a while (and then they get lost and I make new ones), so if something should happen to the harddisk I do have backups ..

What music are you listening to right now?
right now .. Lampshade - "because trees can fly" a danish/swedish band, really unknown .. but really good!! and just before them, Klondyke .. a really wierd (but great) danish band! their music is just have a indie-rock sound,with a good deal of various strange sounds mixed in, but the lyrics are really insane (and rather poetic)! the names of some of their songs says it all! "I'm looking with a flashlight", "hipvibrator" "Strawberry & the flying passenger" and "on a sleeping-couch in Ikea" .. ^_^

The legal status of the old Black Isle games?
I usually lose every cd I get .. :"> which is why I always make an iso copy of it (don't worry I don't distribute it) .. so I have isos of every old game on my harddisk, much easier that way!

Debate: Hirelings & Henchmen
well aren't you forgetting that it works both ways?? if you AI partymembers have a better AI, so will your opponents! it's about difficulty, increase the enemies abilities and you will see a sever decrease in your own party's effecienty!

Who are some of your favorite authors and books?

my fanart
For the same reason it is mostly woman who write FanFics... whatever that is. Nice pissie, Liz... far better than I could ever do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm a man, and I don't post fanfics, but I have quite a lot, but I don't think very many people are interested in my work... It's usually appropriate... I can't draw worth crap, but my Stick Figures of Enlightenment would kick everybody's butt! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll give you stickmen of enlightment!! :D

Just got Gothic II
^ well .. yeah .. it actually stinks, but I thought Kaftan should discover that sad fact on his own! " and in light of such depressing news I will try to bring some humor to these boards I will now post an American/'danish/swedish' joke.. An American and a Swede is sitting in a bar when a gorgeous girl walks in.. The American: "Oh my god. what a handsome face" The Sewde: " N

Who are some of your favorite authors and books?
"'The Lord Of The Rings' seemed to bog down too much in detail...but still, nice read if you can stomache 10 pages describing a specific event that only lasted for a few seconds." Try reading anything of Victor Hugo!! that guy can go on for about a 100 pages of totally irrelevant information ..

Idle thoughts on the word "Terrorism"
Depends on which definiton you choose. I would say yes. It created fear and awe, it did not specifically target military structure, it killed indiscriminately. Still, the goal was not to create a permanent state of terror, but to demonstrate the power of a new weapon against which there was no defense. Therefore, it was not a terrorist attack, despite all the moral labels you want to apply. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> then it's rather ironic, at the same time, that the people who have invented the new definition of the word terrorism where the ones who dropped the nuke .. of course they won't add such an act under such a label..

From here to Eternity???
and besides the idea of us being stuck on Earth is depressing .. and since FTL speed will never be completly disproven or proven in our lifetime we may as well live in the happy illusion of geeky sci-fi hope ..

The worst bug EVER!!
or try to improve it? there's a thought .. why should the 'maurodeurs' dress up for you hmm?? did you ever consider their feelings? maybe they don't like hanging around just waiting to get slaugthered! maybe it's just their way of making a statement .. some people are just so insensitive oh and btw it's not a bug!

Just got Gothic II
being a fighter first time through is a little easier .. imo .. it's a good idea to pratice your fighting skill alot, since it's a little difficult, and you will get severly beaten if you aren't good at it further down the road! all very obvious I guess .. I thought it was a rather fine game! not great, but ceartinly ok and much better than most other titles out there in the same genre!

my fanart
how come it's mainly girls who posts fanart? a good job, you have the rudimentary skills needed (which means you have a good understanding of anatomy and skills in drawing)! and now you only need perfection of the art .. so like Tsel said .. pratice!

I love how diplomatic you have to be when you are in a position where your words can be used against you .. hehe and like Mr. Urquhart said.. you do see these things all over the net, even people using various game engines to make small games ..

Star Wars vs. RPG
I'm foremost a RPG fan .. and I won't play a game simply because it's SW! but I really like the SW universe and atmosphere, so a CRPG was a good match for me, although I was very skeptical when I first played KOTOR.. and needless to say I was pleasently suprised! but my vote goes to RPG, since I would rather play a RP game than a SW game ..
