I like books as a way of passing time while flying. Both fiction and technical stuff will do

Would this qualify as "cruel and unusual punishment" of forumites? I am not a fan of cut scenes, but then, despite all the info, the whispering and the guess work, I still don't know what kind of game really AP is. Sounds like it doesn't matter either as long as it is fun to play

You should have asked them to embroider your initials on her head

eh... i don't know. witcher had lots of little stuff that you collect that has some use, but ultimately is not a necessity. It seems to be at least somewhat influenced by your experience and choice of difficulty setting. If you need alchemy to survive, you better start using those hunter/gatherer instincs and collect every flower and herb along the way If you are good enough (or picked easy difficulty), you can mostly ignore the stuff you pick up, apart from particularly valuable hardware. Just to keep your cash flow in the black.

The above post has Gorths Seal of Approval ® Awesome pictures (from both of you actually).

You get tired of Lilarcor eventually, but for a while, he/it is an awesome seventh party member. Ex-Moonblade, yeah right! Whatever happened to games like that (rhetorical question)?

No, it isn't useful. Actually, it is a dead end for your current game. Somebody once put out a fix for it, but it doesn't seem to be where I downloaded it in the past. Mind you, the fix needs to be in place before going to Telos. If you already encountered the cheat node, it does you no good.

Hey, I thought it was a priority to keep the troops as safe as possible? What's next, forcing soldiers to wear a helmet is infringing on their personal freedom? Seriously, it is a business like any other. If the employer changes the terms, people can look for other jobs. I mean, it's not like people are forced at gunpoint to join the military (well, not anymore at least)? Or is the problem that Obamas administration is the one that decided to enforce a policy? I for one enjoy a smoke free environment

Sounds like that is well deserved Heh, 499 piece puzzles... don't mention them

Survived second day of training and passed the test. Got the paperwork that gives me a learners permit. I can now go shopping for a motor cycle >_

Siegrid? Most likely a pun. I.e Sie, "She" in her native German, pronounced Z (in a North American accent iirc)

Man, Hurlshot, you should charge all these voyeurs here money for being on the trip with you A great travelling journal

Survived day 1 of motorcycle training. No bruises or broken bones. So far, so good.

Not exactly plumber, but there are days where you wonder if doing what you do is worth it...

Guys, how about creating a new thread for comparison of different sports and let those who likes baseball have this thread?

I've never played the computer version of The Settlers, but the board game is quite fun

I can assure you that Aussie coffee is nothing to write home about. Significant amounts of Malt Whiskey and whipped cream are to be considered essential supplements

If officially "sanctioned" by Microsoft as mirrors, I don't see a problem. I know companies sometimes outsource downloads to places like c/net etc. On the other hand, I know Microsoft has tightened up security a bit and generally won't let you download stuff without running the Genuine Windows Advantage ® thing.

When I play the witcher, I can keep a cup of coffee warm on top of my cooling thingie next to my pc

I find the concept of "minorities" discriminating. By even identifying people as belonging to a "minority", you are supporting the division of people and the associated attibuting of "values" to groups of people.

Thread getting a bit long Continued here

Start of old thread End of old thread Managed to put in 15 minutes of Dead Space the other day. Haven't managed to get out of the crashed rescue ship yet Too much work, too little gaming time at the moment.

What version was your Windows when you bought it? Retail/OEM? If it was an older version, you should be able to roll it back, but I am not sure where you get from that it is SP3 that is the cause of your problem. From personal experience, I played Kotor2 for more than half a year with SP3 with no problems. Vista on the other hand... seems to hate Bink players As for posting links to anything but the official Microsoft downloads, that is a big no-no that gets people in trouble.

That occured to me too, but it was an interesting topic anyway.. I'll just remove the link.. I thought so too, even checked out the link, but no amount of trying revealed anything being promoted/solicited/sold/advertised As Rosjerg said, interesting topic I would love to visit London during summer time (having always been there during winter for some reason), otherwise I am partial to southern Europe (the Canary Islands, the Greek Islands, the Baleares etc.

It seemed like those hordes of monsters in the grind areas spawned when you stepped on certain triggers, not when you entered the buildin/cave. It disappointed me quite a bit, having chosen a ranger for my first play through, all beefed up in motion tracker and radar equipment (or whatever the skills/feats are called). All of it useless since there weren't any thugs/orcs to detect until they spawned on top of you. Damned hook horrors...
