Well, would you please wish for everybody except Denmark to win in the next World Cup please ?... :o"

The two games that got me into gaming were probably those I bought together with my first C64 in 1983. One was a cartridge/rom game called "International Soccer" (EA Sports, go home) and the other was a Centipede clone called "Gridrunner" by Llamasoft. After that, it was a bunch of game source codes to type in yourself from a magazine called "Your Computer". Some of those were fully the same quality of the "Commercial" games of the time. The game that got me hooked on crpgs was either a game called "Sword of Fargoal" or "Temple of Apshai", both by Epyx. Can't remember anymore which one was first :">

And what a fitting ending it is too :D

Go Socceroos!

It is quite addictive. I've completed it four times, though not in a row. Still, for a game I was trying to avoid for a while (Troikas reputation for buggy games), I really grew to liking it. Lucky thing since I bought it at full price in New Zealand

I do seem to remember falling through the street in Chinatown somehow... I just kept falling and falling, seeing the town disappear above me. Of course, it was my first game and I was a Malkavian, so madness *could* have been part of it, but I doubt it

Awesome! (w00t) Thanks for the link

Yeah, don't start. It's addictive. Thats putting it mildly. The last third is rather combat heavy and you really should specialise in at least one kind of combat (up close and personal or ranged). Apart from that, go with the flow and play a clan that has the right look and feel to you. Eventually try out the tutorial level a few times with the different clans just to get a feel for them.

What's with the eye roll? Honestly ? I noticed your avatar and thought of icehockey. Those guys relieves a bit of emotional stress every now and then through other means than crying...

I've never used my tears for manipulation. Oh, and I'm not crazy. Men are emotionally retarded... I learnt that at uni and from personal experience. It's a sad truth, so accept it. Crying is a form of release and is a good thing if it is required for the said purpose. Keeping things bottled up is unhealthy and leads to further emotional problems. That assumes that crying is the only way to prevent things from bottling up. Sometimes smashing things up, prevents it from bottling up too

That would be 29-30 years ago. Got my hand burnt rather badly in some boiling water. Hurt like hell :'(

I actually got an old 60gb disk as my boot/windows disk, runs as a non raid drive. For work/fun, I got a RAID 0 set with two 120gb IDE drives and a RAID 0 set with with two 120gb SATA drives. All onboard controllers. And yes, I needed to format the combined drives for the purpose of using them as a RAID

I *think* that was fixed in the offical patch ? You should get consistent information from both the newspaper, Imalia and the questlist, whether you failed or succeeded.

Yes :"> If you can't beat them, join them...

In the Giovanni Mansion, you really only have to fight the twins. The rest you can trick, deceive or outrun (well, mostly). Fighting is also limited in Leopold (except the crazy vampire hunter) Why not ? Hollowbrook was part of what I referred to as "uninspiredcand tedious" previously Really bad compared to the rest. Hades' mileage may vary The only characters (well, Brujahs and Gangrels actually) that I havent tried... :-"

Hey! You lay off the sewers. Sewers are nice

How did you like your Sushi demon ? I had to reload my game there, the first time I played, as I was so busy laughing at the entire notion that I bungled the combat and lost... Which one (or none) of the two old hitmen did you side with ?

I never could play those 3 people against each other though... :"> Although you can make quite a lot of progress through stealth and diplomacy skills in the mansion.

Gnomish cavalry... Some interesting creatures there

On a not really related, yet humorous note: http://www.winterwind-productions.com/foru...opic.php?t=4297 No idea about the authenticity of it. Them Japanese and their English translations

The ending, well not the ending really, but a part of the last third of the game is a bit on the tedious and uninspiring side... sadly enough. Still, I suspect I'm not the only one who found the game fun enough to complete more than once, just to see some of the different endings

I think Darque is too nice to use intimidate anyway (see previous posts) The game is good for several playthroughs if you like it the first time. While being a completely different beast to say, BG2, it does have one thing in common, there are a lot of little details to discover in the game.

Nobody will ever know because of the bug. Once you finish the 256th screen, the game hangs and you have to turn off the power.

Atari still hasn't released a bugfix for the endgame bug in the original arcade game. Bad support
