  2. I had help (thanks Sand...) figuring out how to bring back the strategy camera mode of NWN2 pre-MotB Which, if I remember correctly, is very much like the camera in NWN1. It centers on what you have currently selected and rotates around it.
  3. Privacy -> Ad Blocking -> Custom Button -> Animations
  4. Do you have "Play Animations in Web pages" checked in your advanced browser settings? Some kind of privacy software installed? I seem to remember that my ZoneAlarm Pro has an option to block that kind of "intrusive" visuals.
  5. Bought a handful of "nice price" DVD's yesterday. Watched two of them... Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer. Not much to say about it, good easily digestable fun not requiring any cerebral action on my part. Tora! Tora! Tora! - I like some those old WWII movies. My first thoughts after watching it was: Wow, makes "Pearl Harbour" look like the poor cousin, doesn't it?
  6. All the best just got back after the celebration beer. i successfully defended my dissertation today. in exactly 3 weeks, i'll be posting (for one day) as drtaks. man i feel relieved. thanks, gorth. mark Woohoo! Congratulations Dr. Taks

    Food Thread!

    Came home late from work last night... couldn't really be bothered to do much work in the kitchen (not that I know how to cook anyway), so I grabbed some plain focaccia and put in the oven, then poured some virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and raspberry vinegar in tiny bowls to go with it. All helped down with a generous serving of red wine. I just am lazy when it comes to food, having entrees for mains is almost as bad as an all dessert meal I suppose.
  9. All the best
  10. I wonder what Funcroc is outside the forums... P.I.? And welcome to Matthew Rorie
  11. You're not going to work for Gizmo? I've never tried that :blush10: How does that work? Do you have to help the assassin, or do you just accept the offer from Gizmo when you go there with the bug/listening equipment (and shoot Killian instead of telling him you've got the evidence)? Come to think of it... I never tried siding with the Skullz for real either You help kill the assassin, go confront Gizmo, accept his offer to kill Killian, do the deed and return with his dog tags. Thanks I have a save from just after downing the assassin. I'll give that a try. Funny how such an old game still has a few surprises
  12. I am curious... why is sex a "personal" thing? I would have thought it a natural thing, to be tought together with biology, anatomy, genealogy etc. in biology class.

    Wishing physical injury on people is considered bad form. That includes wishing for spleen injuries on people, just because you don't like them. I think I mentioned something about either giving this Avery guy a rest, or discuss it in a non-confrontational manner. I would hate to have to dig backwards in this thread to figure out who started it this time... It makes me grumpy
  14. What are those "Closed Beta" guys doing?!? We need updates! No updates on their forums since 24th of April. *Moan* *Whine*
  15. Male/Male I am bad at (role)playing females.
  16. Taris is probably my overall favourite place from both games combined. It had such lovely sewers After that, it is a toss up between Dxun (K2) and Nar Shaddaa (K2). Honourable mention to Korriban (K1) and Tattooine (K1). Places that fills me with dread at the thought of replaying them: Manaan (K1), The Unknown World (K1), Peragus (K2) & Telos Station (K2) The rest fits somewhere in between.
  17. Sand has a problem with werewolves in general Life itself is a STD with a 100% fatality rate. Information is good.

    Gas Prices?

    I don't have a car My condolences to those who need a car for genuinely good reasons

  20. Fallout 1 Just made it to Junktown, helped Killian Darkwater fighting off the assassin
  21. *Cough! Cough!*... I shall refrain from making bad jokes about Americans and geography Try checking the population numbers again: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/th...book/index.html The link is fairly safe, they promise not to collect any information about you
  22. I wonder how your browser is set up. I just tried DN's link and it worked nicely. Not that I really need a topless Carth (Arghh... I just went blind!). I think the only Kotor1 mod I used was a useful one (that removes all unscripted turret games), so it doesn't qualify for this thread :blush10:
  23. Wouldn't Darque be the right one to ask there? You could always try to PM her if she doesn't see this thread.
  24. Observed some birds on a wire for a while this morning. It looked like pigeons of some sort. The male was trying to impress the female sitting next to him (at least, that is what I suppose was going on), doing some elaborate dance motions, involving some sineous waving motions with his tale feathers. Everytime he had gone through his dance routine a couple of times, he would jump a few steps closer to the female. In his eagerness to impress her with his macho pigeoness, he suddenly jumped too close and instead of landing next to her, knocked her off the wire. The startled female began flapping around, trying to regain height and flew back up... right into the chest of the male (which I could have sworn looked stupefied that his "date" had suddenly disappeared), this time knocking them both off the wire in a bewilderment of flapping wings, feathers and angry screeching. I am amused by the oddest things sometimes.
  25. I loved the character portraits in the IWD games. I always wondered why the full sized pictures weren't offered for sale in poster size, as some kind of merchandise by BIS/Interplay (and now Obsidian as I seem to remember they bought the assets from Interplay) Baldurs Gate I and II had a different style, slightly more cartoonish, but I kind of liked them too. The only thing that struck me as slightly ridiculous was their haircuts. Everybody except Minsc (iirc) had dreadlocks of some kind. I wonder if a wish for better/more varied avatars weren't on most peoples wishlists though It felt like a step down in quality when playing IWD first, then installing HoW and all the nicely detailed avatars became the bland, uninteresting ones from the new IE version. Was there ever a mod that let you use the BG1/IWD avatars in later versions of the IE games?
