Gromnir

is not an outrageous comparison. both activities is ones in which the participants wore/wear protective garb to prevent, as much as possible, serious bodily injury. if football players could wear more protection w/o it detracting from their performance we would happily endorse such a thing. am not sure how the sport that requires less protective garb somehow gets considered more macho by lucius, but we guess that is the euro pov for you. as to the enoch link... *chuckle* thanks HA! Good Fun!

american football is violent enough that w/o such padding, people would become seriously injured and even die. is not like rugby where people is constantly moving. i am not sure why euros always bring up padding. no doubt all those knights in plate were candy-arses 'cause they chose to wear armour 'stead o' simply toughing it out like Real men. HA! Good Fun!

every time we sees a stretcher come on the field and take a guy off, a guy who miraculously springs to his feet after he reaches sidelines, we recalls #'s comments 'bout "footballer" toughness. somebody gots to send us a crate of that magic spray the world cup medical personel gots access to. a world-class athelete, writhing in agony one moment, leaps up and runs back onto field w/o so much as a limp after some clown sprays his shin with some sorta magic concotion? amazing stuff. the fact that cheating bastards like the portugese team could makes the semi's in this tourney, along with having any world cup game decided on penalty kicks, not to mention the seemingly arbitrary manner in which time is kept on the field, pretty much killed whatever interest we were trying to drum up for this thing... though we does admit that the absence o' commercials is a nice change... but by the same token we finds it disturbingly easy to multi-task whilst watching a soccer match. is kinda like watching golf. just give us the espn 30 second spot. HA! Good Fun!

maybe one named lucius does not understand... if Gromnir would prefer an unpleasant activity such as chewing aluminum foil to playing hitman with wasd, then why would you thinks Gromnir would choose either the chewing or the playing options? ... we will have to visit denmark... no doubt we could fleece your entire country in a couple of days. HA! Good Fun!

would rather chew aluminum foil than we woulds wanna play any game that requires wasd control. HA! Good Fun!

how did you set the game resolution and refresh rates for bg2? we always gotta does manual... go into ini. and looks for the Resolution and Display Frequency lines under the Program Options portion and alter so that they match your monitor's display settings. if that not help then we got no idea. HA! Good Fun!

What about rims? Spinning rims!!! Also would it suit Gromnir if we all pretended this was a dream vee-hickle thread and not just a dream car one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> kinda defeats the original intent of the thread, no? is an off-topic thread, so we don't really thinks that it matters much that things get off-track so fast, but we is always a bit surprised by the ADD mentality that pervades these boards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ANNSILV002.jpg HA! Good Fun!

fighter planes and apc crap in a dream car thread? predicatable and sad. why not submit the following: http://ppc.warhawkenterprises.com/mechbay/linebacker.html or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Star_Destroyer you peoples is goofs... really. HA! Good Fun!

... would be kinda likes ray kroc writing a book on how to cook, no? HA! Good Fun!

we own 2 automobiles. got a 1996 ford ranger that we has managed to keep in good condition... is our day-to-day vehicle. we also got a 1987 buick grand national with 28k miles... is the car we scare the neighbors with. am not wanting another car. HA! Good Fun!

... this better be some kinda prelude to either a mass departure o' current mods, or some kinda anticipatory move previous to new game announcement, 'cause we clearly had 'nuff mods before the recent new additions. am hopeful that this ain't simply likes the old bis boards where mods gots their close freinds onto the mod team for no other purpose than to be part o' Club Mod. do a good job and we only will complain a little. HA! Good Fun!

no doubt the huge increase in posts 'round here required a new mod to handle the load. has we officially hit the point where we gots more mods than regular psoters? continue to increase the number of mods, and has regular posters continue to vanish... eventually we will has every remainig poster be a mod, that way we can simply mod ourselves. *shrug* dar ain't no worse than most of the folks who currently has the job, so we don't mind as long as she remembers that the best mods is the ones who find themselves modding infrequently. if draque is modding lots, then she will have already failed. HA! Good Fun!

if the boys in finland looks like kate, we suspect that your population must have some rather severe gender identity issues. no doubt it must be disconcerting to finish lesbians... finding themselves attracted to all those petite finish men. HA! Good Fun!

first looks better maybe, but is 'posed to have gibbon heads, not jackal or dog heads. second looks kinda terrible. there might still be some bio concept drawings for the dg from tob floating 'round the internet. those were pretty spot on... even if we ain't a fan of mike sass work. linky: http://bgt.rpguides.de/ToB/Media/hintergrundbilder.htm HA! Good Fun!

both prcs is lame. all prcs is lame, but these is worse than most. ek has been beat to death on why it is sucky, and war priests... you wanna play a fighter/cleric that is still good at turning undead? play a war priest. is all a war priest really is... a way to get 'round the relative sucky turning ability o' a fighter/cleric and throw in some bonus super powers to get 'round lack of bonus feats for fighter classes not took. is pure cheese. HA! Good Fun!

am recalling the nwn radial menu and all the choices that you could access from it. turn undead ability and spells and feats and skills n' such. we suspect that each o' those things needs an icon. doubt it is simply weapons and armour that is accounting for +3000 icons. though we agree that where armour and weapon icons is needed, mk's solution works just fine. HA! Good Fun!

It was a joke, but it was helpfull to ilustrate your tendency to post irrelevant drible, mixed with some interesting thoughts and ideas from time to time, of course. Again i'm not interested in your opinion, it is completely irrelevant to me on this issue. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ah. we see why you not wanna initially give context. nevertheless, our advice in this instance is sound. try to get josh to ok theft on board is probably not best approach. why not have your hypothetical person do like an adult and formally request? suggest that only jerks would put the kybosh on thefts as a way to get a obsidian developer to ok theft is probaly not the best approach we has seen. btw, Gromnir likes the iwd2/ps:t icons... but if there ain't enough, then there ain't enough. HA! Good Fun!

No, it was for Gromnir. Yet again he's not doing a productive and valid contribution, i'm interested in Sawyer's view, since he's not the BS type of guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no link or context? not very helpful. was limited to a game or a specific issue? maybe you is right and josh gots 0 respect for Gromnir pov. josh could clarify if he wished we s'pose, but otherwise we would have to take your word... and as your track record for such things is suspect... is doubtful that josh would be so foolish as to give you advice in favor of stealing obsidian assets on a public accessable message board. if a person wanted seemingly useless obsidian assets then the obvious thing to do is to be a man, sack up, and write a letter to the powers that be at obsidian requesting the use of such things. ask a developer if stealing would be ok on a board like this is just plain stoopid... but that should come as no surprise to us. if the hypothetical assets is indeed useless, then why not simply ask for them? have your hypothetical yutz steal 'em first and then hope that obsidian don't care 'nuff to get angry is the wrong way to do things. am not sure why some hypothetical folks gotta try and do things the cowardly way. HA! Good Fun!

In Josh Sawyers words: Since you have a track record of bad advice i'll ignore your remarks once again, Gromnir. Thank you for your time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> if you somehow take josh's words as a suggestion that it is ok to steal obsidian assets, then you is beyond help, regardless of the quality of our advice. noting that useful feedback comes from nma and dac means that it is a good notion to steal from obsidian? wacky. must be that language barrier thing again. am not sure which track record you is talking 'bout though. perhaps you refer to Gromnir suggesting that people should not buy games on day 1 if they wants to stop getting buggy games, or pointing out that toee looked like it were doomed even before it were released. HA! Good Fun! ps Gromnir is honestly at a loss to recall when josh told Gromnir that "even the angriest and most unruly fans" at places like dac and nma were producing more useful feedback than Gromnir. please post whole thread or a link or somesuch. would be fun to take a stroll down memory lane. perhaps it were when we slammed him for his ammo notions? *shrug* in any event, the quote w/o context gives us little of your vaunted useful feedback.

... am suspecting that josh could make a nonsensical one-word post and 1/2 of you would find some hidden meaning in it. "blue." omg! he said "blue." do you know what that means? religious symbolism equates the color blue with heaven and it carries with it the attribute of TRUTH! that must mean that it is true that obsidian is developing jefferson. see, i told you! *shakes head sadly* HA! Good Fun!

we actually managed to finish iwd2... in spite of the terrible memory leak issues. ... am not sure what to think. had never been able to get much past haunted forest in past, simply 'cause we were too bored with the game. however, we stuck it out this time and did the frequent reload bit and we finished. gonna have to mull this one over a bit. technical aspects were so distracting that... oh well. HA! Good Fun!

an insult? to which game? they play real similar... major difference is that you only create 1 meaningless character in fo:t as posed to a whole party of such characters in iwd. heck, your stats and skills actually has some small impact on game in fo:t. there is probably more meaningful rp choices in fo:t than in iwd. both games is pretty good if you simply plays 'em as squad-based tactical combat games with limited rp elements. we liked some of the story aspects of iwd better than we liked fo:t, but we liked the slightly more demanding tactical combat sophistication o' fo:t. the iwd art were better, but we gives the nod to the fo:t voice talents... and we admit that we prefer the fo setting (even if it were modified for fo:t) as 'posed to the FR d&d setting. first 2/3 of fo:t v. iwd? am not seeing how the developers of either game could or would feel insulted by the comparison. HA! Good Fun!

you is making way too much out of the purchase of jefferson resources. am doubting that interplay would sell piecemeal anyways. when Gromnir were a kid we recalls going to a garage sale at which a guy had some baseball cards we wanted... but he wouldn't just sell us the tom seaver rookie... we had to buy the whole box of crap along with it... which were ok with us. in any event, simple purchase of jefferson resources not mean all that much in and of itself. HA! Good Fun!

btw, while Gromnir not so much like crushing dreams, we not mind it... and we does actually enjoy the seemingly thankless managerial chores. manage a big project/case is like working on a particularly complex puzzle... you gotta visiualize the end result and try to utlize your resources to makes your hoped for product/outcome match your vision. is kinda fun if you likes such complex problem solving tasks... the opportunity to makes people cry is just kinda a bonus. HA! Good Fun!

Probably more than any other designer here. I looked through our spell icons and apparently we are still using a few of the Jefferson icons. They were used in IWD2, but they were really made for Jefferson. IWD2 needed spell icons, but Parker used his powers to ensure that Brian Menze made the icons in the format that Jefferson was using. It's coincidentally the same format as the icons used in NWN2. The problem is that we have about 3500 icons in NWN2 and Menze's icons could only really account for maybe 200-350 of those. Ian and krew re-used some of them, but they still had to make boatloads of new ones. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> understood. thanks for the reply and the info. HA! Good Fun!
