  1. Custom builds... Just couldn't imagine buying a computer which I didn't know inside out. Going to build a new one in the near future. I had to "cheat" a bit to get a Windows XP Pro for my new computer to be. The retail stores claim that they don't have XP on stock anymore and all they wanted to sell me was Vista. Time to find a less than legit version of XP and make it fail the genuine windows test thing. Microsoft then offers you to buy a legit version shipped directly from Microsoft (and much cheaper than the old retail store price). I am such a crook. Ironically, I had to do it twice because the first one I found passed the check. I'll wait for Windows Vienna (at least, thats what I think it's code name is) which should be out in two years time.
  2. Which is more than you think Edit: As for New Reno in FO2, it felt out of place, I still liked though. It would just have been more appropriate for a 1920-1930 organised crime type crpg...
  3. I saw an Uwe Boll movie... Stuck in hotel room late at night (and I couldn't be bothered to do any more work), it was either "Bloodrayne" or some generic adult movie. I should have gone for the xxx one, at least the acting, directing, story, camera, lighting, plot and music would have been better
  4. Are the parents wealthy and/or in a position of power/influence? It could be blackmailing. A disgruntled patient of the cardiologist? It could be an opportunistic hotel employee, trying to make a buck (selling the girl to the highest bidder). Or just someone unrelated hanging around the tourists waiting for something with a sufficient perceived market value to get his hands on. It could be one of the parents. Maybe they are not happy people? Too few facts at the moment to do anything but speculating wildly.
  5. I really have to try this one some day When I feel particularly brave that is...
  6. No idea how, but I agree it definitely feels like it's always dawn, night or dusk in the game. I guess thats why they call it Neverwinter Nights 2 Still playing X-Com 3. Finally got personal disruptor shields for my troopers. My medical bills dropped like a rock and I now only need half the amount of men in my roster (since 2/3 of them no longer hang around being seriously injured).

    Spam

    Use the proper noun, indicated with the first letter as a capital, as per agreement with the makers. Hormel originally were a little upset that their product had become a byword for unwanted, useless (and tasteless) crap, but then (I guess when they realised the amount of marketing it resulted in) they were happy as long as "spam" was the internet verbiage and "Spam" was their tasty product. From the article you linked to... I'll just stick with the SPAM All Uppercase Edition (thats what they print on the cans anyway)

    Spam

    I have a can of SPAM lying around in my kirchen drawer. I bought it six months ago out of curiosity. It's just... I have no clue what to with it >_ How are you supposed to eat that stuff?!? And no, google search for spam gave 217,000,000 pages. Not sure where to start.
  9. Hanharr. Finally a wookie worth fearing (unlike all his whiny, whimpering walking carpet relatives who features in movies and other games).
  10. Every little detail counts. Oh, the Pun! Meh, wasn't there something about various appendages being available in one of the patches. Maybe there is a console command there can give her what she needs. Maybe she would look good with bat wings too...
  11. Sadly no. I patched the game first thing after installing. Ah well, some other time perhaps.
  12. Nope. Straight to 1.05 Either it has been amputated by the bandits that were harassing her at Fort Locke, or it was part of one of the previous patches (and missing from the 1.05 cumulative patch) or I was just plain unlucky that the game decided that she should miss one of her most prominent features next to her horns Edit: Anybody got some needle and thread?
  13. What did they do to Neeschka's tail?!? I just reinstalled NWN2 and patched it from 1.00 to 1.05. I swear, when I first played it and patched it gradually 1.00, 1.01, 1.02 etc. a tail appeared on Neeshkas butt after one of the patches Now her tail is gone again
  14. What age range are you in? __ 18-24 __ 25-30 __ 31-55 __ 56+ Are you male or female? __ Male __ Female Do you think overpopulation is a problem? __ Yes __ No What do you think should be done to solve it? __ A maximum limit of children per family enforced by law. __ Colonization of currently non-habitable environs. With the global warming, both Siberia and Greenland should become new prime quality farmland __ Nothing, new technologies will be developed to allow us to place more people in the same area without stripping the planet of its resources. __ Nothing because I
  15. Not bad for a Pom. The Dane in me might not quite have forgiven you guys for Copenhagen 1807 yet (that might take a few more centuries)... but not bad :)

  16. Any Scandinavian child should be able to tell you that Odin has two ravens that keep an eye on the world and whispers in his ear what is happening. It has been known for more than a millennia that ravens could talk
  17. Plan meet enemy, enemy say hello to plan Sometimes plans are just that, plans... Edit: Down to 43. Still following the master plan.
  18. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_(slang) Basically, the main character in Final Fantasy X. I wonder if we'll have punch an emo day this year. Yuck!
  19. Can someone explain in simple english what an "Emo" is?
  20. There is a patch/loader somewhere on the net that I downloaded and tried a a few months ago. It works nicely with the Win95 compatible version of Terror from the Deep. I can't say if it does the same for the Steam download version. Otherwise, try giving Dosbox (maybe with a graphical frontend like DFend for ease of use) a try. I'm having a blast these days running X-Com 3 on that
  21. Hit the S button and it will pop up the skills. I had that problem which the patch didn't cover. Isn't that a bug with the military base? Once you go there, the button turns black. Never really noticed it as a problem though, as the above mentioned 'S' key is much more convenient for the skilldex menyu
  22. As a small kid, I wanted to build stuff (didn't really know the title for it back then). Much to the frustration of my surroundings, as everything was a potential building material and everything was subjected to being hammered, nailed, screwed, glued, taped and stapled together... *ahem* As a teenager, I wanted to study biology and biochemistry, both of which was my passion in highschool. As a young man, I wanted to be a programmer and so, for good and for ill, I started on my current carreer path. I guess I have driven it as far as I can in my current line of work (technical manager in a software development company), so the "what do you want to be" question is a bit hard to answer. Perhaps I might want to go full circle some day, assuming I make enough money to retire early, go back and start studying biology and biochemistry again >_
  23. X-Com 3: Apocalypse. Finally got a large Quantum Physics research lab built, so I can speed up my research of the juicier alien technology. About time too, I am losing the war of attrition with most of my men and vehicles in various states of disrepair...
  24. Ramza... what in the name of Fish were you doing on a website called "www.gurl.com" in the first place?!? I looked at the first quiz and was completely unable to come up with any answers. Gave up at the third question. Tried the second one, ended up with a "Raven"
