Gorth

A quick reskin of some of the critters and we present... X-Com: Crucible!

I need to have words with the young people next door I don't get any stimulus packages... The world just isn't fair

For your own and the other passengers safety, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until we have been towed back unto the tarmac and parked safely at the terminal. We hope you had a pleasant journey and thank You for flying with Gorth Airways... Oh yeah, be careful with the stuff in the overhead lockers, it may have moved during the flight

I think it depends to some degree on who you ask. I always understood it as a synonym for simplicity, i.e. sacrificing detail for ease of use. Somebody will probably come along and hit me over the head with a dictionary

I still wonder where people get the 'dishonest' part from. Mind you, I've never really followed it *that* closely, although I do lurk every now and then on their forums, like peeking in once every fortnight. You weren't around at the time of the games release then. People were not just upset, they were acting like rabies infected dogs, frothing at their mouths. It was so bad the these very forums were facing closing for good. No "public relations" card was played, only the threat of not having a place to hang out and complain anymore This thread is really just a piece of nostalgia predating the time where TG had their own forums (and in many ways probably also outlived its usefulness) and to the best of my knowledge, Aurora hasn't been active for a very long time.

Peoples self entitlement issues never ceases to astound me If people hate it so much, why keep moaning about it? Life is too short for that (not to mention that it gets repetitive).

It is one of the secret gadgets of the forum, secretly disguised as the "REPLY" button

Seems like we have entered the realm of the completely unrelated to video games stuff... Lets try again here

Start of old thread End of old thread Almost through Throne of Bhaal. I suddenly realised how much I hated that Abizagail (sp?) fight. Grrr!...

An "Inquisitor" crpg would be awesome (not to mention a darn good match for Obsidian style atmosphere and writing)

The Sequel

Start of old topic End of old topic Just sitting here, speculating on why I don't buy any blu-ray movies. It is not because they are "expensive". They sure look nice on the high definition screen. Then it struck me that I am subconsciously boycotting region coding. I haven't bought any of the titles that I wanted because they are only available from overseas. I guess the movie industry can crash and burn for a while without my money. I'll go hunting for some more movie DVD's when I go shopping again (since I have a region free DVD player)

So *thats* where my tax money goes... Got my new PC speakers all set up. I can now share the sound part of my games with my neighbours

Australia is nice this time of year ... Those parts that aren't burnt to ashes or flooded that is

The NWN2 forums used to be hosted here. Then Atari, being the guys with the wallet, decided they wanted one community, not two and ordered it relocated to live next door to the existing NWN community at Bioware. That is why the NWN2 section now redirects you to the Bioware forums.

Yeah, some parts of the world are just the last ones to enjoy a new day

Hey, sewers are nice! Maybe we get to shoot rats down there?

Hint: Don't trust any announcements made on April 1st

My new speak system for my PC arrived today. I sat around and stared at the box for a while. Decided that I was too tired to start setting it up. No way is the sub woofer going to fit under my desk, so some re-arranging is required. It will proably have to wait until the weekend

Ok, I need to check out that place. Nothing beats full contact chess!

A fairly short list (I stopped being a SW fan after the release of "Return of the Jedi") X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter + Balance of Power addon Kotor2 Kotor1 Ranked in that order I might have to check out GOG for Tie Fighter. Supposedly the best SW game ever.

You've obviously never played the original Worms

X-Com 2... if you researched the wrong alien at the wrong time late in the game, you couldn't finish the game Edit: I've never been the luck owner of Pools or Radiance 2, but I think the uninstall "feature" must count as legendary.
