How about tackling political stereotypes instead of religion? I think Hubology was the best jab ever at religion, very little can beat that In the light of the recent economic development, they could pit cooperatives versus entrepreneurs, crop growing farmers vs. cattle herders, evil money lenders against the rest of the world etc. I.e. over the top, stylised concepts against each other. Can be done without necessarily involving religion. Discussion continued here

You sure you are not Eldars alt?

I use my internet conenction quite a bit, most of it work related, but otherwise, I manage quite nicely without tv and radio (I have a clock radio, which gives me the 5 minutes rundown of the news in the morning) and my phone is switched off when I am at home. I conveniently "forget" my phone too, when I leave the office for lunch, as people are generally rude and always call you during your lunch break it seems. Apart from DVD/Blu-Ray movies, I watch on average 1 hour of TV a week. Mostly just the late night news. @Aristes: You don't even need a car, I managed to get lost on my way home the other night, wanting to take a shortcut on foot through the park lands (the taxi never showed up). I eventually found a major road where I could hail a taxi and get home. Studying a map the day after, it turns out that I passed within 500 meters of home (since I followed a railroad track across a river, I sort of know which path I took), but it being pitch black in the forest areas, you just couldn't see a thing. Who needs survival horror indeed?

No. Not really. It still has flaws and functionality issues. Well, it's close. Which is pretty amazing. For a mod. Even the unmodded one is one of the better ones around. Simple, easy access, easy overview. I spent an unseemly amount of time playing around with stuff, trying to see what would "fit inside" what

Playing a Nosferatu was my most fun game of VMBL ever. I startled myself, laughing out lol, when I tried to talk to the old lady behind the counter in the diner Edit: Wasn't it something along the lines of schrecknet.vtm?

Out of curiosity, do you think the opposite? I.e. the entire purpose of living in societies is strength in numbers. If we are no longer share any responsibility for our fellow man, why not just dismantle the country, get rid of the military, councils, governments etc. which are all part of a social "pact" where people contributes to for a common good. Heck, the state run military is one of the greatest socialist inventions. They fight for somebody other than themselves

You mean the Wizard of Oz. Yes Too much coffee, too little sleep

The patch doesn't really fix any quests, just a few odd hardware compatibility issues (if the feed back is anything to go by, it introduces more trouble than the patch is worth). Only patch I bother with is the media patch which gives you better quality music and higher resolution movies.

Angry Alien Productions AKA: The 30-Second Bunnies Theatre Library My favoury movie summary site. Many classics replayed in 30 seconds, starring bunnies Edit: One I remember from top of my head... Alice in Wonderland - a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete stangers to kill again.

Maybe a religious schism? Welcome to The Reformed Church of Fallout I think I fall in that category. I love the originals dearly, but I don't think it is impossible to catch that undefinable magic feeling in a new game. Fallout 3 just didn't look like it was doing it.

"Support beams in the mines are now destructible." Hah! knew it! I still wonder if it was ever intended to be possible to drown all the Wanamingos (sp?) by sabotaging the water pump? Off to download (1.2 seems to be the latest released version), thanks

Post traumatic stress disorder in the Forgotten Realms

Generalising much? As for Van Buren, it would indeed have been interesting to see how well Black Isle would have been able to translate the design docs into an actual game. Sometimes original design and released product ends up worlds apart. Right now I could use a Fallout in the spirit of the originals. I haven't heard anything that convinces me that Fallout 3 is it so far. I think I'll give FO1&2 a go again when I am finished with Icewind Dale

I don't know what it is about game designers and endings... Ye gods of my ancestors! Like the two previous volumes, It is just full of awesome. That is. until the last third of this book. Then the story completely disintegrates in a mix of cop outs and deus ex machina in equal measures

That's Danish beer. Mkreku is doomed to drink Swedish beer

Start of old thread End of old thread Preparing to get out of crunch mode. A few good nights sleep should do wonders for my sanity

End of this particular time line ... Alternative time line here

I gave him 200 credits to assure he would keep it secret. Can't you bribe the little "Squeeky" guy with the big ears (outside the Pazaak Den) to put in a few good/bad words for you with the Exchange? I've never tried it, but I seem to remember the conversation option.

Still going strong(Ok, rather slow actually, but who cares?) in my Icewind Dale campaign. Cleared out Burial Isle and gave those Virgins something to really Wail about. I'll never make friends with The Drowned Ones though. Whoever came up with them belong in the same pit of The Abyss that is set aside for Hook Horror designers

Maybe you finally got to play the evil witch?... Going up against the mighty Seven Dwarfs and their henchmen. Boss fights before facing the cabal of Dwarfs include duels with Prince Charming and Snow White. Use brute force, trickery, poisoned apples, whatever gets the job done.

This stuff should to be published in a semi universal (male version) "Forumites Guide to The Galaxy" >_

Until further notice, there can not be too many S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. Good news

I think BNP is GDP/GDI for our English speaking friends Hey Walsingham, you taking notes for your next visit? Still going through crunch time at work. Should be back to a regular schedule (and more than 4 hours sleep a night) after the weekend

9th level Yes!... off to Lonelywood

Still playing a bit of Icewind Dale every now and then. Just finished Dragons Eye. Dastardly Talona deceivers departed with my desired object. Doom and damnation to be destributed to the slithering enemy. Btw, what is the minimum level requirement to "enter" the Heart of Winter expansion? I thought it was 8, but it seems to be more. It really is a long time ago since I last played it
