Heh, not a bad idea. I just don't think it feasable with the sheer number of people having more than X posts >_ Maybe I should see if I could make a miniaturised non-animated version of my avatar. There is always imageshack or photobucket.

Playing a bit of Warhammer Online and a bit of The Witcher EE (since my HDD decided to commit treason, I had to start the game all over. Almost up to chapter 3 again >_

Golden mean fallacy. Show me a society which adopted an extreme form, that demonstrated enduring stability

For whatever reasons, the "Prague Spring" featured more predominantly in our history lessons. Maybe because it was a decade (almost) later?

We'll see if we can keep it open a bit longer then. The "scissors" might be a bit loose when it comes to pruning then

Now for the "stupid" question... what game is that? Edit: Just saw one of your other posts in the Far Cry 2 thread. Is that it (i.e. Far Cry 2)?

200% of nothing is still nothing Have we run out of interesting things to say about the game for the time being? *looking at retirement plans for thread...*

That was one wish used...

I think the "ideal, utter and complete" capitalist solution wouldn't work for other reasons. All those economists and their fancy books, funny ideas and what have you forget something important in their models and equations. People are people, which means if you create a society so divided that it starts losing it's cohesion, it will all fall apart due to social unrest. You can't sell a new car to the guy with the pitch fork, who is busy burning you at the stake Put more simply, either extreme wouldn't work any more than any other extreme form of society, whether it be political, theological or economical extremism.

We still luvs ya >_

I loved an old joke posted a few years (?) ago, just after hurricane Katrina. It showed that all major hurricanes (measured in the loss of lives and property) with one exception happened during the rule of republican presidents. The conclusion was: God hates republicans. Statistics is such a nice tool

I'm so tempted to grab a BenQ G2400WD right now, but I can't afford it for another week or so. I had a look at a few BenQ monitors too. In the end, I decided that I had been very happy with my old Samsung 19" and decided to stick with a brand that I knew. Not exactly a good reason for buying anything, I know

If I stole all your virtual money on your bank account, I am not sure you would settle for a bit of virtual spanking, I think you would rather see me behind bars

Fixing issues is not always about fixing obvious or easy stuff first. That can be a recipee (sp?) for disaster It is possible (as in, I haven't got a clue how Kotor2 modding in particular works) that they rely on other things, that is subject to change and any effort to fix them would be a wasted effort, until whatever they rely on have been done first.

uh, roundup... ain't nothing that kills weeds better. i see from a later post that you did resort to chemical warfare. indeed, it is the only way. Yup, that was exactly what I bought. That, and a spray apparatus for convenient distribution. Just remember to let out the compressed air before refilling I think you just described one of those things I like about cats, their sometimes spirited personality (annoying bastards) and their independence (feed me!)

Yeah, one day I walked past there is she was back. It also rained when I found her again, sheltering under the church roof. Coincidence? Heh, yes, discovered that too. Lesson learned. In this game, things aren't always meant to found and/fixed right away. What a nice change. The druids are always worth a visit, if nothing else just to see Morenn. I have this huge stockpile of wolfpelts Ouch, that doesn't sound good. I really like Siegfried, even if he doesn't talk to me anymore. His performance at Shanis party was a surprise I am too old to get excited over pixellated boobies (probably seen way too many real ones), but I would lie if I tried to deny that it brings out the "collector" in me. Maybe that is what people feel when they collect sportscards, this having to go that extra mile to get the one missing?

I think he proves the point of why it is not a public beta.

No Half a million corpses in various degrees of decomposing would have been more accurate decoration.

I live in a townhouse with a small 'garden' in the front (flower beds) and a nice enclosed (2m stone wall) backyard, where I can sit in peace and quiet when it isn't too hot, also with roses and a few vines and trees... and of course all the mandatory weeds which are now victims of chemical warfare

To the best of my knowledge, Xard is not prevented from posting anything. The reasons lie elsewhere.

Lucky for him, you're a dog lover DR. It's time to get your doggie ready for on-leash training. Don't forget your poop scoop. I prefer cats over smelly dogs. What I do today? Watch Michigan lose to Penn State. Boo! Cats are superior beings Started the war against weeds in my drive way and my garden today. Fritz Haber would have been proud of my approach. All is fair in love and war against weeds.

Mostly playing The Witcher. What an awesome game Bought Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. "What a pile of Crap" was my first impression. The disk was one of a batch released in North America and Australia that was mastered badly, with all the .exe files missing. Nothing to click, nothing to play, no help on the help pages , faq pages or support pages at either EA and Mythic. Talk about leaving bad first impressions. Spending good money and buying a months subscription leaving you with *nothing* Well, Google to the rescue. EB Games have provided a link to download the .exe file that will patch your game (and download the missing files), but sheesh, talk about crappy support. That kind of help should have been at the very least on Mythic's support pages. EA and Mythic both lost a bunch of influence points there (and I consider myself happy that I only bought one months subscription so far if that is a sign of things to come). Created my account and started taking first baby steps, familiarising myself with the controls.

If you question Vaska more, she'll tell you that you can leave items in the Voydanoi "mailbox" (where you put the logger's axe, if you did that quest in Ch 2), and they will exchange it. Not things of dry land, however, so only leave swamp herbs, fish, swamp animal extracts etc. Now I never bothered to try it but it might be fun for you to see what they leave! Just save first in case you leave something that pisses them off... you do not want to make Vaska mad. I tried to leave a fish. Found hellebore petals the day after. So, they do swap things Less sure if it is useful or not, sort of like the Meliteli (sp?) statue in the church after you've got the quest item. Solving some witcher contracts, following the main quest a bit. Having great fun so far. Latest achievement was cleearing out the Salamandra hideout in the sewers. Decided to side with the "squirrels" during the bank robbery. I met a nurse in distress and managed to sneak into the basement of her mothers house and kill the fleder down there. Talking to the mother afterwards reveals that she thinks the fleder to have been her son. I can't find the nurse anymore though, so I can't finish the quest at the time being. Tried to visit the church inside and outside at dawn, dusk, midnight and noon Are there any good hunting grounds for cocatrices?
