Child of Flame

I speak English and a few of its aussie dialects where we mess it up to fool around with the snobby english tourists <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I speak multiple English dialects (because I like to mess around with people occassionally) and some broken Spanish. They only thing I learned in school was the broken Spanish.

I always thought I was a curmudgeon in-training. (Got the cynicism, now I just need the age. )

Well the city of Troy did actually exist...but of course as you point out, "The Illiad" is literature. Of course, saying that, the movie bears very little resemblance to the literature. Arrian, Plutarch & Quintus Curtius Rufus are the main ones. Most people think Arrian is the best source, especially for the battles. Have you seen "The Pillow Book"? One of my exes made me go see it and you get to see a young Ewan "tackle-out", if that sort of thing rocks your boat (actually the film wasn't all bad). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isn't The Pillow Book the source material for the Kama Sutra....or is the movie unrelated?

Ah, those were the days. Though today, I find it more effective to wash sheets and not put any static cling sheets in the dryer.

Post Apocalyptic Dirt States? I'm thinking something similar to the 'Glow' in Isaac Asimov's Space Trilogy.

Zotty-zotty would be Force Storm?

Don't look down when speaking (they'll think you're lying or 'studying their anatomy), don't look up (they'll think you don't know what you're talking about), just look them straight in the eye.....and remember, they can SMELL fear via phermones. Also, what you lack in physical attractiveness can be made up in domestic value! I'm probably not the best person to be giving it, but this advice always seemed good. "

Huzzah! (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh yeah, a round-kick to the head just before sex really gets me going! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I suppose it would for SOME people.

Huzzah! (w00t)

They aren't, and Omaha isn't? (Last part I was just kidding, please don't rock my world with the first though. ) Anyhow, the Southern Californians call us up North Cow People....so we probably don't count anyway.

I'd have to say Covenant. Looking at past fictional history; the Empire got pwned by furry little animals with twigs and rocks for weapons. The Covenant got pwned (but only part of it) by an elite cyborg warrior, and a sh!tload of Marines.

I've been doing that. Gals my age are so unappreciative. I even COOK for crissakes...what does that make me though? A pansy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Obviously someone's telling you to get a jock girlfriend. That way, if anybody calls you a pansy, she can beat them up for you. It's great. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would be a plus (a girlfriend I could sic on my enemies). Kinda like an attack weasel...or something.

Or it can make it extra delicious. (w00t)

They will never make a CRPG with a lineup like that. If they did so, they would be assimilated by EA. :ph34r:

I'm about 1 hour NE of Sacramento (which is one big strip mall=not so nice), but up where I am, it's in the foothills, and it's actually a mining/tourist town. Its within 3-5 hours of everything from San Francisco to Oregon....probably more for you since you live in the Midwest (Things are more sparsely placed there correct?). I could give you recommendations for lodgings....people tend to find my town 'quaint' and 'charming'. Get a lot of honeymooners here actually. I'll be eighteen in May, I usually stick to gals near my age...you do the math.

Nothern California's lovely...I mean, if you're not used to it.

I've been doing that. Gals my age are so unappreciative. I even COOK for crissakes...what does that make me though? A pansy.

That's because the mines for it are flooded. Last I checked, all attempts to fix them have failed miserably, usually with death tolls for whatever divers were invovled. <read above for first point> As for the second...I'll sum it up in one word: TRADITION! I tried telling my sister that if/when I ever got married, I didn't wanna get my wife to be a diamond engagement and wedding ring. That there's a monopoly on diamonds, and the monopolizers abuse the African nations they get most of their diamonds from to keep their monopoly, and then sell their diamonds to different US companies, because they CAN'T sell directly here because it's ILLEGAL. She said "Good luck ever getting married then." More true than you'd think...many gals wanna have the standard, 'picture perfect wedding'. White dress, fancy diamond ring. F**king conformity!

Yeah, to bad we'll probably never get to be of the Tziminsce clan....Fleshcrafting looked like it would've been a fun game mechanic.

Because gaming guys are horny sex starved bastards?

HOLY SH!T!!! If it isn't already, the Tanzanite in that ring will soon be worth more than a diamond....plus there's no monopoly on Tanzanite like there is on diamonds, so it's a better choice overall. Prettier stone IMO too.

I played a Toreador, so being mean wasn't a problem (most human clan). I dunno, it was just extremely satisfying finally standing up to LaCroix before he used Dominate on me. :D

I personally loved the Anarch ending (my first one).

BIG question for everyone having problems.......how much sh!t do you have running in the background while trying to play it? Also, I haven't had memory leaks that were noticeable in-game.....however when I try to exit the game window for a couple of minutes to look at an FAQ, I get a load of stuttering and sometimes desktop crashes when I try to reenter. This is okay, because I'm not REALLY supposed to be able to do this anyway (I have to push the Windows Menu hotkey). I've even left the game on for around six hours when I had to go out unexpectedly, and it still ran just fine when I came back.
