Old School Game looking for Old school Gamers
...and that's the young ones No offense Zhurrie, but calling NWN1 "old school" was a bit funny

Working at night
I've done way more night work than I care to remember, but that was usually because the day didn't have enough hours in it. Plenty of 24 and 48 hour work days. Thats why my hair started turning grey at 22 Coffee drinking from a cup that never runs empty and plenty of loud rock music springs to mind as stimulants.

Whats with the stuffed cats anyway? I once had a sack full (figure of speech) and never let one out, but there doesn't seem to be any use for them.

As a berk once said, never trust doors... In the unlikely event that some future adventurer summons my spirit from the afterlife, I know one not so fluffy eared rabbit that will get turned into a lucky foot talisman

What are you playing now
Nationstates... turned out that I could actually resurrect my old country from way, way back. I now rule two countries Latest events from Gorthovania: "The dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment. Crime is a problem. Gorthovania's national animal is the Coelacanth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Gorthology, and its currency is the Chicken."

Umm... why would you use a sorcerer as tank?

Ironman: Icewind Dale
Is it worth it having Aasimar and Drow as spell casters? Isn't the level penalty (especially for the drow) more a hindrance than whatever other benefits they may get.

It's been too long since I've played IWD2, I keep confusing options and abilities with NWN2 (having played a lot of SoZ recently)- Ironman: Icewind Dale
*Sigh* They just don't make dungeons like that anymore Yeah, as hard as a tax return form and just as deadly by even the slightest misstep, A bit lacking in the sewer department, but at least there was plenty of dungeon to go around. Wasn't there a beholder somewhere along the way? I seem to remember suddenly going eye to eye with one in TotLM.- What are you playing now
Having a bit of trouble staying focused on any one game at the moment... playing Painkiller Resurrection and a few point and click adventures. Bought a handful of indie games on a sale: Geneforge 5, Avernum V, World of Goo, Machinarium and The Path. The last one (The Path) looks particularly interesting. Might give them a try over the next few weeks.- Vuvuzelas have a higher death rate than Iraq

Trials of the Luremaster An expansion to the expansion so to speak. Heart of Winter was a good expansion pack, but a lot of people complained about it being rather short, so Black Isle released more content for it free of charge- Create a manga avatar or yourself
Hmm. Couldn't find a facial structure that matched, no stubble mixed with a small moustache and the eyecolour is all wrong (sort of a washed out greyish green)... Ah well, it was worth a try. Very similar to the Mii profiles on the Wii- Wikileaks founder framed for rape?
I understand the metaphor, it's just that your comment doesn't really make sense in the context. But I don't really have the time (or, in your particular case the inclination) to educate you on the finer details of WWII in the Nordic countries. Let's just say that there was very little choice involved. I think he is trying to say it's your own fault for not surrendering unconditionally to the commies, because that is what a good american like himself would have done?- Lets Play The Temple Of Elemental Evil
I tried to install the game on my PC. It adamantly refused to as much as start up Guess I'll have to install it on my ancient mono-core PC- Ironman: Icewind Dale
I think Llyranor is insulted that you didn't want to fork out the 200 gold coins to resurrect his 4hp worth of wizard...- Poll suggests 1 in 5 Americans cannot make simple factual assessments
How did it influence it exactly? No, not a trick question. Just wondering since "Western Civilisation" was there for a few thousand years before the Bible came knocking so to speak (it has only been around for a measly millennia in large parts of Europe). I could have sworn that Greek and Roman culture was what shaped it.- Dragon Age 2
In SoA, the only weapons better than +3 are Carsomyr +5, Warblade +4, Cutthroat +4 & one of Drizzt's scimitars. Irenicus summons two baalors & two glabrezu in the end fight, but I don't remember if a +4 was required to hurt them (I think a +4 was only needed to hurt demogorgon & mariliths in ToB). In Watcher's keep there's several +4 weapons, though... like staff of the ram & spectral blade that Jaheira can use. What happened to just turning into the slayer and rip him apart? Works wonders against Kangaxx too- Poll suggests 1 in 5 Americans cannot make simple factual assessments
Those are just the Commandments. A country run by the Christian bible would be hard to distinguish from a Taliban run Afghanistan. I.e. authoritarian clergy in a patriarchal society.- Lets Play The Temple Of Elemental Evil
No, I should get Xan's voice! It's a party full of chosen ones, how could it possibly fail??? In the unlikely event it does, then it better be a very epic and cinematic fail!- New MCA blog post: On Project Directors and Lead Designers
