Gorth

Nobility have fairly long names in Spanish, don't they? Alonzo Francisco Juan de Navarra y Gorthoba etc. Edit: Might give it a more "exotic" flavour if you introduce regional Iberian languages. Looked up a few Basque phrases: Xanti Basajaun, Matxin Josepe etc. Could be passed of as "Old Estalian" I suppose. Maybe look up a few Visigoth words too?

Could be about Turkey and the Balkans. It was the year Austria annexed Bosnia and Hercegovina and the Young Turks rose to power in Turkey offering to ally Turkey with Britain, but Churchill turned them down (anyone spot the irony in that?)

Hey, somebody has to put the Fi in Sci-Fi I imagined ME2 more as Comic Book material than movie material though. In some ways ME2 was like Kotor2, it was the journey that was interesting, not the destination.

Not sure if Avernum VI qualifies, but I've been drooling over it for a while at gamersgate. Anybody played it?

Just a friendly reminder to the early birds to use spoiler tags for spoilerish stuff...

I still have my old Anti Maastricht Treaty campaign t-shirt. It might become a valuable collectors item some day

Sounds like either a very short Ogre or a mutant

Thread getting a bit long... More Mass Effect Here

Start of old thread End of old thread Uwe Boll would've been sooo proud... *sniffle*

Thread getting a bit long. More gaming Here

Start of old thread End of old thread Finally got around to start a game of SoZ. My party features a Ranger/Blackguard (my protagonist), a Rogue/Assassin, a Cleric/Frenzied Berserker and a Wizard/Red Wizard of Thay. May the most evil party win

That is only because some of the venomous creep are hard to spot iniside your shoes. It's almost winter now and freezing cold at 16 degrees (Celcius). It even rains every now and then. Looking forward to summer again.

The fun of new hardware... Finally got most of the bits and pieces needed to assemble my computer, so I set out to plug in the new HDD, the XFX card and thats when the fun started. My old Windows Vista would crash with a bsod when shutting down causing the darn thing to restart autimatically and politely tell me that Windows experienced a problem when starting up again (completely "uninvited"). Ah well I thought, maybe there was an issue with the gfx card and the power consumption? It looked like it cut power prematurely somehow, before finishing the shutdown. Taking out my trusty old Radeon 2400 card and plugging that in instead, I set about installing Windows 7. Yep. 5 failed installation attempts later, it turned out that it wasn't the gfx card. It was the damn hdd Finally got the XFX card in, removed the HDD, installed Windows 7 and things seems to be running. I tentatively tried (the day after) to plug the HDD back in (in a different SATA3 connection), though not as my primary/windows drive and the system appears stable. Either the motherboard has a single bad SATA3 connection or a good nights sleep did wonder for it. Go figure. I'll try installing Windows on it next time I need to reinstall. Of course, I have to take the thing apart again when the last bit arrives, as my cpu water block needs the backplate on the other side of the motherboard. Giving the XFX card a few weeks of work first before tearing off the stock cooling, just in case. Had to remove the lower fan, between the bottom HDD's and power supply too, as the power supply is too long for the Antec case. Who dares wins.

I so wish Obsidian could have commissioned that guy to write some new music for Fallout: NV.

Maybe it has... just the other way around. I.e. their losses are making them desperate. Considering how recent the newest DRM is, I don't see how it could have. If it has any results, they'll be seen later. Uhh... I meant bad results causes them to try new desperate measures, like their recent DRM scheme. I can't for the death of me see how that one is accomplishing anything other than alienating people from their corporate brand. Walks like a desperate company, quacks like a desperate company and all that.

Just speculation, mind you, but maybe showing too much gameplay would give too many spoilers? Information is an asset. It gets choppped up and sold piecemeal to the highest bidders (doesn't have to be money, can be "return favours"). What will the press/reviewers offer in return for snippets of info here and there?

It's available from Gamersgate too if you don't like steam.

That was enough referral scams for one thread I think

I never saw the point in re-makes other than cashing in on and violating the name of a good movie Come to think of it, I can't remember a single re-make from top of my head that felt superior to it's original Maybe a few old sci-fi series (Blakes 7) would benefit from slightly higher production values (cardboard cut-outs and "wobble effects"), but that is about it.

Any which way, the Thai people lose on this conflict. Thaksin (sp?) is a dirty rotten bastard, sort of like the Berlusconi of Thailand. The current incumbent doesn't have the money to buy popular support like his predecessor, so he relies on the military instead. A lose/lose situation for the people.

Playing too much NWN again? I don't really blame the guy for wanting to fly, but airline companies are not exactly inspiring a lot of confidence in me when they let him fly without proper credentials.

This thread would have been better if it had included an explicit condemnation what is presumably the 10% of direct action, i.e. whatever is not part of the 90% peaceful component. Clever use of semantics does not mean this place is to be used for directly, nor indirectly to encourage violence against governments and government institutions.

Somebody found the right "Bait"
