A Danish Hotdog anytime, anywhere http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_dog_variations Check under European variants. These guys from New York almost got it right, except the sausages are not a bright crimson colour like they are supposed to

So, what are you going to do with the box, deliver it or open it?

Oh, you will get it someday... in about 7-9 years time when Bethesda buys the Star Wars license and develops Oblivion with Lightsabers Knights of the Old Rebulic III I saw a Mynock the other day, nasty little creatures...

Has anybody been able to figure out what exactly it is half full of? I mean, if it is half full and the the stuff it is half full of is "nothing", where does that leave it?

It is one of those times of the year again. The Winterwind E-Zine strikes back at apathy and dumbness. The non-profit, non-compromising, non-sense publication for the masses http://www.winterwind-productions.com/issue5/cover.htm From a member of the demographic group known as "swedish oblivion lovers", we present Spider continuing the story of Choices and Consequences in Real Life

TOMBS? That would be the place where doppleganger known as Cantousent tossed the body of Eldar after having assumed his place on the forums. After browsing 204 pages of posts, I found the oldest post that the forum software currently attributes to Cantousent: Notice how he hasn't quite stomped out all things Eldar at that time yet? It is funny though, I seem to remember from top of my head that one of the first posts under the name Cantousent was an obituary for a friend/relative. Cantousent the idealist: Ok, so here is the thing about Cantousent, he is an unwaivering idealist, believing in all things good and righteous. How the heck he can play anything besides a Paladin in a P&P game beyond me and a kudos to his acting skills. I think he sometimes takes ideals more serious and live by their code more strictly than the guys who came up with the ideas originally. Yes, I am also talking about that silly group of tax welchers who decided that they didn't owe uncle George a thing for all stuff he had done for them (killing natives and frenchmen). He follows the rituals and once dreamt of wearing the trappings of an organisation that is not famous for the ideals he himself stands for, yet I wonder if it wouln't be a bad tradeoff and the world would get the bad end of the deal. I think he has more to offer the world than you can do when limited by such things. There are friends money can't buy, for the rest there is Mastercard. Cantousent the forumite: He is just about everywhere? Eloquent, Insightful, Educated, Idealistic (see above, it shines through in many of his posts, he wants to make the best of most situations and think positively, even when people, including yours truly, behaves like ****) and I can't remember ever having seen him beeing condescending (he needs to put more points in his gloating skill). The only time he wrote stuff that made me quasy was when he quoted old Greek texts (in the original alphbet), because they reminded me of the math tests that I sucked so badly at in university. He discusses hardware, p&p games, politics, religion, video games etc. without making a lot of enemies (except metadigital because nobody likes metas ideas of alien factions). Then there was the fun thing about the Moderator tag. Was that a signal light? On... off... on... off... And then there is the Cantousent "BLOG"... I don't think there are many posters who give other people such an insight into their lives, sharing experiences, whether it be travel or work. I would bet, that there might even be lurkers out there who feel like they have known him for a long time without ever having exchanged words with him. Traits/Perks/Whathaveyou Speech skill (gets practised a lot) Explorer skill (travels the world) Science (I am sure there is a lot of trivia at his command, ready to write down in an instant) Strengths: Hard to argue with somebody who genuinely believes in the case they are arguing. Makes for some good posting kung-fu. Weaknesses: Gets emotional sometimes as a result of the same. Lacks the viciousness and cruelty to win at all costs. And when the Warhammer 40k MMO gets up and running, we will join forces and rid the galaxy of all that opposes us! And this is really only a fraction of all the stuff there is to say about this Eldar imposter.

The traffic in Sydney is awful though.

They could ship a single container of those to Africa and they would have no famine for an entire year. Edit: Malnutrition perhaps, but not starvation.

What game would you rather see Obsidian work on
Gorth replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
These people just can't be entrusted with any kind of influence on decision making -
Ok, I started the game again from square one
Gorth replied to Mklangelo's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
It is notoriously buggy. Team Gizka (the guys doing the TSLRP project) has it among downloadable bugfixes on their website. On an unrelated sidenote, Also recommended is the "rebalancing" mod from the same place, which makes consulars suck at combat. You have to rely much more on force powers then As for making stimpacks... can't you break down grenades or mines for chemicals? I can't remember exactly, but I think there is one item you can create on the workbench and break down on the lab bench (and then make healing stuff from). -
In the beginning was Gorth... (then came computers, arpanet, internet, forums, purposeless forum posts with purpose questions, purposeless posts answering purposeless questions in purposeless posts and the world was not the same again)

You get to play The Chosen One in a game with artistic direction by Gollum. It doesn't get any better than that, does it?

YA RLY! They do. There are days where I hate democracy more than others. Why can't people vote the way I want them to? Maybe I should have limited the options -

Gorth replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
Setting, background, fluff, characters etc. Not sure if all of them even have rulesets. Some of them do and would be continuation of stories, some of them don't and would probably be a first for a franchise. -
An entire truckload of fun interesting npcs there.

A rather limited list for me. Never had a console and never got into the japanese made stuff. And if it is party members only: Annah (PS:T) Best tail on any NPC Morte (PS:T) I hated him and his smartass attitude. Thing is, I just couldn't really hate him. In the end, I even felt sorry for him. Dak'kon (PS:T) Once you get to *know* him, he is not so bad. Edwin (BG1+2) Korgan Bloodaxe (BG2) No nonsense take no crap dwarf. Xan (BG1) We are all doomed Neeshka (NWN2) Thats NEEsh ka. Emphasis on the Nee Kelgar (NWN2) The second only ever dwarf that I liked Kreia (Kotor2) I still haven't quite figured her out. I am probably going to see a lot more to her once the TSLRP finishes The golem you can create in the lab in IWD2: MUST PROTECT MASTER! I felt kind of sad that I couldn't take him with me for the rest of the game. List is subject to change tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow. And the day after... etc. Edit: Duh. Cut and paste error. Looking for a new candidate Edit2: Found a new candidate. Just ignore first edit

Gorth replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
That would be like saying, the only obvious thing you could do with the D&D setting would be to make RTS games I don't know if you ever played any of the games which aren't about squad based combat (Rogue Trader, Necromunda or Inquisitor) or even better read any of the novels (Gaunts Ghosts, Eisenhorn trilogy, The Last Chancers or the Horus Heresy books). More material than you can shake a tentacle at. -

Gorth replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
I alwas thought Nar Shaddaa in Kotor2 was a good attempt, if a bit lacking in detail. But I am all with you on the WH40k stuff. Maybe would could create a Cult of Obsidian when the MMO takes off It would still be nice with a single player crpg though. The WH40k is the darkest, bleakest and most vicious setting I've seen for a game system. -
What game would you rather see Obsidian work on
Gorth replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
Would have been my second choice if I could have made a "prioritised" poll Ever since playing a game called "Beneath a Steel Sky", I've wanted to play games in similar types of settings. Damn, how could I forget Icewind Dale? I even had an empty slot left in the poll -
I've seen quite a few threads over time on the net, asking who would you like to work on a particular game? Just to turn question up side down a bit, I'll ask, which game would you like see a particular developer work on? I've excluded games known to be ether in production by Obsidian (Alien franchise) or others (Sellout - a Postnuclear Money Machine). Besides, I havent started a thread in ages, like an average of 3 each year or so I didn't add "FFS Why don't they do their own IP now?" either as I suspect their wallets aren't as big as Blizzard/Bethesda's yet. Edit: Oops, forgot to vote myself. I am dying to see a WH40K roleplaying game on my computer. Time to wrestle that license from THQ

NASA flight to Vesta, Ceres to run on exotic ion power
Gorth replied to Guard Dog's topic in Way Off-Topic
Unless they aim it directly at Vesta and equip the craft with a large coil spring. Then it would make the trip back earth again in no time
