That's a pretty nice wallpaper, just the way I like them (dark), but what is it ?

Desktop...
It's called "Rainlendar". Not exactly sure where it's homeaddress is, but a google search will give plenty of download sites. Thats only the "components" though, You can get a lot of skins for it customize it's looks and layouts.

Are you scared of people?
He sounds more like "AngstOne" or whatever his name was.

PROJECT NEW JERSEY forum
What interview is that? I think if they are making BG3, there will be something said at E3, but if they are making something else, E3 will probably be a little too soon to expect anything (except the New Jersey forum, that is ) Count me is as being curious about what interview that was. BG3 sounds unlikely unless Mr. Morgan is very creative in dealing with the truth (i.e. no Bioware license and no sequel)

Please make another AWESOME game!!1
At least you got this part right (unless you count Volourn of course).

Choosing a name.
That would be Luxor from my all time favourite game. He gets to rule the known world and the name is easy on the tongue. Even a non-english speaker like me has an idea of how to pronounce it

PROJECT NEW JERSEY forum
June ? Is that the time leading up to E3 or some similar event ?

Jedi Belief
I thought that was "Forums" As for Star Wars, it does look like a bit borrowed here and there. The Midichlorians (Sp?) from Scientology, the "learn by doing" (There is no try, do or do not) from Zen Bhuddism etc. Trying to weigh the different contributors against each other is an exercise in futility. The Sith does look a bit like Darwinists though

Revan vs. Thrawn
Sheesh, Revan got tricked and beaten by a girl... Thrawn pwns! (not quite sure who Thrawn is, but Revan was a pushover who got replaced by an apprentice with the strategic skills of hun)

Remember the Old days?
Hmm... Good ol' days that would be stuff that is 10+ years old... that exludes all the BIS games Games that have been the most costly in sleep, grades, lost work etc. would some of the following.... Gridrunner (Llamasoft/Jeff Minter) - The very first computer game ever I bought. Sword of Fargoal and Temple of Apshai (Epyx) - Sigh... The sheer number of hours spent dungeon crawling. Beat that Icewind Dale Lords of Midnight and Doomdarks Revenge (Mike Singleton) - For me the ultimate computer games ever. I still play them on C64 emulators today. The only game I ever did bother to program a 16 bit version of for my Amiga 4000 :ph34r: Summer Games (Epyx) - Killer of joysticks... I still suspect peripheral manufacturers of sponsoring the development of these types of games. Nato Commander (Microprose) - Dunno how many nights were spent on this. the first real time with pause game I ever played, around 1984. Monty Mole (Antony Crowther) - The silly tune still haunts me, when trying to figure out if a set of pipes are climbable... nevermind... Ultima IV (Origin/Richard Garriot) - Needs little explanation. Second biggest time robber after the LoM/DDR games above. International Soccer (Commodore) - My very first (and only) "console game". A cartridge game for the C64. Probably responsible for the death of a few joysticks too. Zork I-III and Deadline (Infocom) - Doesn't really need a lot of explanation either. Forbidden forest (Cosmi) - Forget about Resident Evil. This is the spookiest game ever made for homecomputers :ph34r: Jumpman/Jumpman Jr. (Epyx) - The ultimate platform games. Did I mention that Epyx was one of the greatest game companies ever ? Phantasie I-III (SSI) - I still remember taking some kind of perverse pleasure in killing Nikademus (Sp?) Defender of The Crown (Cinemaware) - Less depth than I would wish in a "strategy" game, but the Whoa effect from the gfx and music just couldn't be ignored. Not to mention, for a bunch of pixels, the damsels, well... ehh... next! Wings (Cinemaware) - So simple a flightsim, yet the combined package and campaign was awesome. Spent literally months playing through WWI Elite (Acorn Soft/Ian Bell/David Braben (Sp?)) - They just don't make them like that anymore X-Com (Microprose) - Needs no explanation... Champions/Death knights of Krynn (SSI) - I loved the original three books by Weiss/Hickman, loved the first two games in the series too. Probably 50-80 games worthy of honourable mention too, especially some racing and strategy games, but that might be a challenge for anybodys attention span

Chris Avellone at Gamespot.com!
And you wonder why the world has religious fundamentalists... :D Anyway, the Gamespot interview was slightly predictable. The interview at NMA was way more fun reading.

What's your favorite Ultima?
Ultima IV. Still remember getting that nice big box with all the goodies in it, maual, ref chart, map of Britannia and a plastic Ankh... I gave III a try after that, but didn't complete it. IV had way superior music and sliglty easier on the eyes gfx on the C64 version compared to the PC version, you might want to find those and try on a C64 emulator intead of the ugly PC version.

Learning Swedish with Kaftan Barlast
What do you have against Scandinavians ?!? :angry: ... Just kidding :(" ... For a good sample of the Swedish language "melody", go find an episode of The Muppet Show and listen to the Swedish Cook :D

Too many patch whiners
In this case, both will do nothing. You have to take the fight to the guy who holds the trigger end of the gun. Otherwise, he'll just sit there, watch everybody else wallow in the mud, get a good laugh and continue doing what he has always been doing, for it doesn't really affect him. I.e. figure out, where can I cause a change if I swing back, it's not always the easily accessible places that are the best for it... Voting with your $ has always been an effective option.

Color scheme
The only thing I noticed, was that I no longer had to squint to find the interface, lost like a little dot somewhere on the middle of a big empty screen... As for colours, pretty unimportant. Kotor 3 is probably going to be red, just for the sake of doing the whole RGB spectrum

Happy Easter
Something like the first Sunday after the first fullmoon after spring equinox (I'm not kidding).

Too many patch whiners
He does have a point though, although it's exaggerated somewhat. There are a few people here and there, whose combination of hardware/driver/windows whatever doesn't agree with the old game engine. It's not so much that they want to voice a complaint, that their particular platform is having issues, but the attitude and general bad manner in which it is done. Too many people which doesn't get it, that this place is not their god given right to public humiliate themselves by pathetic whining, but a privilege provided by a company who in no way is obliged to as much as to listen to complaints. If people feel a need to complain in rather unconstructice ways, why not head over to L.A.s forums and tech support and complain. It is after all L.A. who did the testing and decided it fit for release, as well as doing the official tech support, since they own the game, everything included ? Damn, I really shouldn't try to cut down on the coffee...

Wierd Camera Bug on Planescape: Torment
I do seem to remember a bug, when trying to reenter the mortuary... There was a work around, but it's all from old memory now (never ran into it myself, just reciting what I read elsewhere)... There is a guy, Pox, which you can ask to give you lift into the mortuary, that should "circumvent" the naughty trigger. Of course, it only works if it's that particular bug you are running into. You might want to ask Pox for a ride.

Wierd Camera Bug on Planescape: Torment
Sadly no... Sadly, no So I've put PS:T on the shelves untill I find a solution or get a new computer/OS/whatever were the problem doesn't occur... Stupid technology... You might want to try Whitemithrandirs suggestion, I think you can dig platter up somewhere around here http://www.planescape-torment.org If you find a fix, I''m pretty sure Panda would appreciate you sharing the solution

Which was the greatest war ever?
Behold the wisdom of the Simpsons (which is surprisingly profound sometimes) :D No matter what the intention was, the result is going to be a "War of The Wor(l)ds" Edit: Just to be a good sport and on-topic, I'll say "Star Wars" although I can't change my vote anymore. Without "Star Wars", there would'n't have been any SW universe, nor the EU nor the Kotors and other games.

The amazing disappearing Iridonian
Kreia did say something about not being able to "read" the Iridonian or some such, and that it irritated her Sorry, not much help. I would really like to know what happened to my party in the immediate future too.
