Is Customer Service dead?
^True that, it can get irksome in the long run. Consequently, I don't envy the sale representatives of Games Workshop. Take for example Thomas Ohlsson of GW Finland, he has to offer an example game for anyone entering the store, give starting advice and take time to help any newcomers with their painting problems and the shop is open from 11 to 19.30 with over two hundred visitors every day. I'd imagine that this kind of density of customer service would burn anyone up. No wonder his eyes looked rather glazed. :D Just an observation.

Do you prefer the Fantasy genre for CRPG's ?
I loved the BG 2 brand of ultra-high fantasy. It felt like they really overdid the fantastic aspects, instead of pretending of holding a balance. It bordered on the side of wacky, especially at Warden's and Sahuagin Fortress and I absolutely loved it. I usually prefer low-fantasy, but BG 2 embraced the multitudes of facets the Planes and FR presented and it worked oh-so-well.

what frightens you most?
Oh yeah, sorry about that. Natural instinct when I'm sitting in a car and I see a Finn.. Being Swedish and all that. It's all right, I got on with your ladyfriend, so it's alright. Though seriously, a red Volvo? And that tweed cap?

I prefer the downgraded steampunk to metropolian visions of steamwork towns. Especially if that downgraded steampunk is seasoned with noir.

what frightens you most?
I've had sleep paralysis for innumerable times, but never with a hallucination. I'd almost like to experience it, so that I'd know what it's like. Sleep paralysis itself was pretty cool when it happened for the first time. Of course, I was 12 at the time and it wasn't such a big deal besides the fact that finally something special happened to me. I had been run over by a car before and epilepsy sort of made a small unceremonial gap between me and the normies, but sleep paralysis was like something from horror flicks. Some uncontrollable innner power that manifested out of whim and left me in sweat and mentally ravaged. During the experience I always tried its limits and learned how to end the damn thing before...well, I presumed something should happen with such a momentous shutdown of the body. Usually I could only make small wheezing noises and move my right hand horizontally. It was possible to force myself from the stasis by slowly, 'cos slowly was the only thing I was capable of, moving my hand till the shock from the sudden stress caused my body to reboot. I got it about three times a month till I was 15 or so, and I nowadays get maybe once or twice a year, so back then the phenomenon felt almost like I could force it to happen. No matter that I understood what is causing it. It's definetly one of the hallmarks of my psyche. A defining factor on what makes me myself.

RPGs you still haven't finished
Only crpgs I've ever finished are Planescape Torment, Gothic 1&2, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege and KotOR. Yeah, so there. I've been playing them from since goddamn Nethergate.

I can count about ten, that's all. And most of them are a pretty vague on whether they are rpgs at all e.g. Do Sex. As for my self, I don't really enjoy fantasy all that much anymore. I used to be sucker for high fantasy escapism, but that died away partly because the influx of non-worthless fantasy crpgs dwindled to a halt around 2003, but mostly because I no longer need a spiritual brazer to uphold my ego. Fantasy was like a second me for the longest time and purchase-decider, but nowadays I just look for a worthy story, no matter the genre. I'm not actually tired of the genre, it's just that I've recently take a liking to contemporary settings and low-scifi. My love for historical fiction has never been greater also.- The Music Thread

I read his mind and can safely say that that's true. There are no superpowers.- The Music Thread
Bathory - The Woodwoman- Rome TW Barbarian Invasion
There's a bridge in Italy(Rubicon or Po) that you will find very useful in stopping the onslaught of Goths and Huns. Basically, only have cities in Italy at first and then conquest from there. Consolidation and culling off the weak are key points. Don't give disloyal generals huge armies and solve all problem spots in Italy before moving on. Ravenna and Rome are precious.- X-Com - the revenge?

Emperor - Towards the pantheon- Best Star Wars Game Created
You are right, it doesn't. The game is very decent, nigh great, although it borrows most of its mechanics from Freedom Fighters. The only actual complaints I have is the small amount and variety of enemies you face and the fact that it's awfully short.- The Music Thread

Poor Righteous Teachers - Da Real ****- What are you playing now?
I know. But it seems like you can't actually ghost as such, there's a couple of forced knockouts like the dude using the pump in Maria Narcissa. Really, I could have done the level with a mere 3 knockouts, but since it is not lowering the score and gets me quicker to the next level(I really wanna see where the story is going), I can forgive myself.- What are you playing now?
So far I'm clean enough, every level is 100% without using tools besides the pistol secondary more.- What are you playing now?
Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory on my pal's x-box. It looks and especially sounds superb, but the gameplay is a bit easy so far(third level) even though I actively try to ghost(make it seem like no one was ever there) the levels. Then again, 15 knockouts in the last level was a bit too much.- Conan, The Nerfed
Not to mention; bard songs don't have a limit, while an inexprerienced wizard has to rest every other corner. Ultimately though, bards are more of roleplaying character, not a powerhouse or a support machine like the more core classes.- The Music Thread
