Found a BG1 game save that I had forgotten about (more than a year old). Made me pick up BG1 again and continue it. Working my way towards the mines of Nashkel Nothing like giving a little girl a dead cat and then taking the last of her allowance in return... 23gp... I am such a creep...

I would take that as a "No"

He probaly has a pit of that stuff under the "Welcome" mat

Oooh... conspiracy The NSA probably told them to remove it

I like shoe phones. "These boots are made for talking..."

Which was very bad move. If people act like thugs, odds are they are going to be regarded as such. It might also be a factor that India has nukes... at least according to the pakistanis I've spoken to. Iran doesn't enter the equation. It is all about Kashmir. Blame the British One of my best buddies during university years was a deserter from the Iranian army during that war. After two years at the front for Ayatollah and country, he left for northern Europe, developed a liking for danish girls, pork and beer (poor sucker ended up married with kids, slight beer belly and love handles). He rarely ever spoke about the situation in Iran and what little he did tell was scary. He was worried about the fate his family, him being a deserter, hoping that one day he would be declared officially "dead".

This thread is out of the race... too much off topicness towards the end. It almost made the 500 mark Continued here: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49786 Lets keep stuff not relating the election out of it for a while?

I guess there is a certain irony in the way Guard Dog started this threads predecessor: Thread found here: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=48997 It was getting a bit long and off topic anyway...

I would say, you are getting somewhat off topic. It is very hard to relate this to the current US Presidential Election

Robert Mugabe is painting "Imperial Foreign Powers" on the walls of peoples imagination in Zimbabwe, other leaders in volatile countries do the same... creating scape goats is an old, tested and tried recipe.

It does have the odour of blackmailing/hostage taking about it. You give us the money and if we feel generous, some of it might even benefit those who need it the most. Not very likely

How is DOXbox working for you? I had much trouble with it several years ago and had to reinstall XP to fix all the damage it caused. That was a much older version obviously, but I've been rather gunshy about trying to to install it again. Any problems or issues for you? I can not speak for DN, but I've only had good experiences with the current version (which I think has been out for a long while now). Together with dfend version 2 (a graphical front end configuration utility), they make running those old dos games fairly easy. I've played and completed xcom 3, carmageddon 1, tombraider 1 & War in Russia (old strategy game) on it

The last time I saw an entire Eurovision song contest was when a group called "Isle of Man" won... that was a while ago. I've managed to catch the voting process towards the end of the show a few times followed be a re-run by the winning band, but that is about it. Too many countries. Messes up the UEFA championships too

I'd would be surprised if 90% of conspiracy theorists weren't paranoid to some degree. However, closing perfectly good eyes and assuming that people in power always have your best interest at heart isn't necessary a good thing either. Which is why my "religion" is doubt and my "crusade" consists of constantly questioning my own lines of thought as well as my surroundings. Investigating why things are the way they are, is something I consider a virtue

Happy to oblige Not sure if it allows direct linking...

Considering Yushaas posting history most find it a little difficult to lend his posts any credibility. Don't you remember his 3000 some odd word rant about how the world would be such a better place if all Americans just went out and shot ourselves (my summation). However, there is the humor factor and he does bring out the best in Laozi so it's all good. Umm, not really. The last major altercation I can remember was the whatshisname iranian president speaking at some US university thread. So many people vented to much bias, preconceived notions and lack of objectivity that it made me cringe and go hang out in the kotor2 forums for a while instead >_

Have we added what is worth adding to this subject?... I find it rather sad, that whenever different perspectives gets added to established old, dusty views, the collective IQ seems to take a dip and make room for ridicule rather than reason

They are bad, very bad. Now that the bush fire season is over, I am considering burning them (in a ritual, to ward off bad books). Last two books read... Simon Spurrier: "Lord of the Night" - What a pleasant surprise. Interesting story, interesting characters and plenty of twists and turns that keeps you guessing who the true villain is, right until the end. And then you guessed wrong after all Graham McNeill: "Time of Legends: Heldenhammer" - Just about the opposite. Predictable, protracted, repetitive, uninteresting and... it's just there. He can do so much better... I know because I've read plenty of his books before >_

Looks like you are crouching... backstabbing with a flamer? I was sneaking up on him. The first strike of fire didn't kill him so I had to fire at him again. ...Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire... The flamer is nice. I just wish it was available a bit earlier in the game

Oww... poor young star. It hadn't even reached teenage years yet as far as stars go. Heck, not even a starlet, Just a little toddler

There are things money can't buy ...for everything else, there is mastercard

I don't know how it is elsewhere in the world, but I am pretty sure that in Denmark you get "extra time" for abusing positions of trust. I.e. school teachers abusing children entrusted in their care etc. It might be similar to the aggravating circumstances you are referring to.

I never managed to beat the end-boss in Painkiller

By 1945, the Bismarck would have been refitted with extra layers of barnacles all over It would probably be a fairer comparison, if Bismarck (and it's often forgotten twin, the Tirpitz) were compared to the ships it was designed to go up against, those of The Royal Navy. The Yamato (and the Musashi and the Shinano, the last two were never finished and were not named) was designed to go toe to toe with the US Navy.
