Child of Flame

Does GW run on Dialup? I don't think the telecommunications infrastruction out here has been upgraded since the original miners settled down.

Sam and Fuzzy

Sun tea is yummy indeed. I have figured out how to copy the brewing process indoors for the winter.

Tee-Hee...you ever start reading Sam and Fuzzy Wiggster?

You know, that could be hazardous to a n00b's health if they were dumb enough to try it...RIGHT ON! Tea is meant to be GREEN!

I've been waiting for this all year...

Is anyone else getting tired of "Hi everyone! Look at me! New Member!" threads...or is it just me? "

*spew*

"Why?!?! Why would someone paint his fireplace?" Brain fart?

This makes me laugh...It probably shouldn't, but it's a prime example of stupidity in action, which never ceases to crack me up.

Fortunately, Beethoven's compositions don't drive people mad. Real violence does, and that is a fact. You don't want to accept that fact, fine. Welcome to Denial. Population: You.

no spoilers .. he doesn't talk much about the game! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you, I'll read the thread now. @Gremlin: I'm still watching you!

D00d. Get off this forum before I CALL THE POLICE on you.

I was busy earlier, consider this the 'Extended Writer's Cut' post.

When used correctly, profanity adds to the game, see Vampire Bloodlines. Now, when you have profanity in a game where such things dont belong (see most fantasy games), it does indeed detract from the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it worked well in that game because only the people who were similar to the R/L people you'd find using it WERE. Other games, even ones not in a fantasy setting, it wouldn't have been so appropriate. For instance, what if they'd had the Prince talking like Jack...just wouldn't have worked.

I don't usually drink soda, but when I do drink a cola (usually when dining out), it's Coke. Seems less carbonated IMO. But if it's Cherry Coke vs. Cherry Pepsi, then it's Pepsi for me.

I didn't read the story after I read the first sentence and who it was by (I'm watching you Gremlin)...can someone confirm whether or not there's spoilers in it for me?

If he was really desperate to include something by Troika, I don't know WHY he didn't place Bloodlines on the list.

I had to vote Planescape based on the fact I sadly haven't played any of the above (though I'm about to crack into Baldur's Gate, and I'm trying to allocate many of that list), but it sounds more similar to the games I've liked the most in the past. (It's very text heavy and well written no? ) My personal choice based on the ones I HAVE played, is Bloodlines...the music was so good in that game, listening to the licensed tracks right now. Story and most everything else was amazing as well.

NWN2. Bioware seems to have fallen into a habit of doing basically the same thing over and over again (story-wise, not setting) because they know it will sell. Obsidian OTOH is fresh, and new, and I trust them to create something unique and new, even if it is a sequel. I'll probably be getting both though.

<thinks about registering enderandrew for himself for future leverage against Wiggster>

It made me cry....because if there was an actual screenshot, it would mean that we're that much closer to having HL3.
