Amentep

Ventrue dude died in a car crash I think. Since he was the main character they didn't bother. At least thats what I heard Mark Frankel died in a motercycle accident. Since he was the one universally agreed positive of the show, and the producers felt they couldn't replace him or that character, it was decided not to continue, IIRC.

Ivanka's 35 in October, so in theory she could be VP.

Resident Evil 4, 5, 6 coming to PS4 and XBone I'd love a remake of the Outbreak series. Just sayin'.

I thought Babylon was muddled. I liked parts of it but others weren't so good. And the Lone Gunmen cameo was an utter waste. It didn't really come together -:but I still enjoyed it more than My Struggle part 1

Wasn't there one about male/female connectors as well?

"Call me...'head'"

0% Hitler, 6% Fascist, apparently.

'Harvard academics say that the word "master" derives from the Latin term "magister" - a form of address for scholars or teachers. It is similar to terms such as "school master" or "head master".' So why not change "House Master" to "House Magister" then? Faculty Dean is a boring title - I can see a lot of people thinking "House Magister? That's kinda cool" though.

Apparently "isidewith" presidential poll puts me closest to Jill Stein (82%) followed by Gary Johnson (81%), Bernie Sanders (80%), then Ted Cruz (78%).

Started a game of Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. So far its pretty okay. Takes a longer to build to the PC having their party so I think I'll be connecting more with it now that the story set-up has passed. Certainly seemed to take longer to get to this point than in Awakening.

I thought the finale a bit duff, but I thought My Struggle I was the weakest of the reboot, so not surprising the second part was a bit of a muddle. Still I'd watch a Series 11.

Just behind and slightly left of the breastbone?

She can kill herself, don't know if it actually chunked her, but a wild surge led to some random damaging effect that killed her during a fight more than once. I'm pretty much like that whenever I stop and then pick back up a game.

78°F - everything else is crap.

I've lived in pretty much every part of the spectrum at some point in my life: On both extremes, in podunk little towns in the middle of nowhere and in big cities, and smack dab in the middle in medium sized towns. When I was younger I thought I'd want to go rural too, but as I've gotten older I've found myself more drawn toward big city life. It's obviously not without its issues, but I find the positives of big city life outweigh the negatives for me. Purely personal preference, of course. I'm mostly just mad that my low population density area became an attractive destination for new houses in the late 1990s and early 2000s. They put up 2 McMansions on one lot, cleared out old farmland and made giant subdivisions. In one case put 6 houses on land that originally had one. Bleh. Now many houses are abandoned due to the housing crash or have turned over multiple times.

Company size on their linkedin is 11-50. Based on that I'd guess a lot of consultants or temp employees?

I want to move somewhere rural. I hate high population densities...

People are going to start associating "murder-hobo" with "Amentep" pretty soon here...in fact, I already do. P.S. i did not realize "Simone" was (predominantly) a woman's name, which it apparently is. How about that? See, my post had educational content AND murder-hobo references! Simone is the French feminine form of Simon (itself a translation of the Hebrew "Simeon"); I think it spread from there as Simon/Simone but as I understand it in Italy and I think some Balkan states(?), it is Simone/Simona.

Realized that I've been forgetting to make pictures of my BGEE game. Now I'm nearing the end and I have nothing to show. So without further ado, my PC: The infamous Double Rasaad glitch - if I put Rasaad 1 in my group and forced him to kill Rasaad 2 and take his boots, did I murder-hobo or kill an evil doppleganger? Visit Werewolf isle! Visit Durlag's Tower! Kill a cult in Ulgoth's Beard because you recovered a dagger in Durlag's Tower! Visit an Island of Trapped Sorcerers and Magicians! And fight them for a cloak!* *Not the actual combat strategy used in the game - I realized I had no "action" screenshots and went back and started a fight.

Or they could double down and do "Two Ghouls, One Fridge".

My experience is similar; I wasn't a big mod fan (as indicated above - I did try some; some were good but the modding community wasn't really integral to my continued fondness for the games). So for me the BGEE give a good experience reminicent of the original with some ease of use enhancements that means I don't have to find my 7 discs, install, save the discs contents to folders on the HD, apply a crack so I don't have to continue using an optical disc drive, apply a bunch of mods to get it to where the BGEEs are already with a straight download. That said it seems fans who like the mod community feel Beamdog hasn't done right by modders, so I understand where they're coming from.

Yeah, I'd like to have the patience to that. Well and skill - I passed my three required programming classes thanks to the ability to understand the underlying theory and logic. None of my programs ever worked; I tend to bork things if allowed.

Haha, I didn't even catch that I did that. Awkward! But now I've laughed out loud as well. That was part of my problem with mods. Like in general with computers my least favorite thing is actually tweaking stuff, getting stuff to work together, troubleshooting, that kind of thing. I can do it but I find it a bit tedius and tend to get distracted easily. So when there was things where you've got to remove this mod, add this mod, then add the previous mod and then add the new mod you wanted...eyes glazing...over...zzzzzzz Yeah full props to the mod community for skill and perseverance. There were a lot of talented and dedicated people who put a lot of work into their mods. Having tried to make mods for things that put out modding tools (and generally never getting anywhere) I can appreciate the work they did.

No no, that's fine, you folks continue. This may be sacrilege to say, but I'm over the Infinity Engine games of old. I started replaying BG1 a few years ago and after about 2 hours I was just "ugh no". Same thing when I tried to replay IW2. They were great games that I loved when I was younger, but I have no desire to ever play them again, not even Planescape: Torment, which was by far my favorite IE game. I just don't care any more. I don't care what Beamdog did with the EEs. I don't care if they added to the games or butchered them. The only Beamdog game I'm even remotely interested in is Siege of Dragonspear and that's because it's a wholly brand new game, though the fact that it's being built using IE is a bit of a turn-off. IE was a good engine for its time. By today's standards it kinda sucks. I'm like that sometimes. About 2005 or so I got to where I couldn't play any of the IE games, they bored me to tears. Now after a decade, I'm playing BGEE and its the first time since the first time I played I think that I'm actually trying to play it. But retrogaming is tricky, sometimes its hard to find that spark. Like for me I can't go back and play old platforming games. Yeah loved Super Mario World and Sonic 1 and 2 and Decap Attack but...I can't play any of them now.

Reminds me of Neeshka in NWN2 - "And I may have accidentally back-stabbed some people in the past, but if they couldn't see me coming, well, that's their loss" I just...can't bring myself to use crackers. I dunno why, I've tried but I feel irrationally guilty - even on age-old games that I have all the discs for and stuff and am just using it for convenience. Yeah I know a lot of people like mod/mod community and only want to support that. And it sounds like Beamdog hasn't done well with the modders from what y'all are saying, so that explains some of the ill will there. "Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!" "OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse." "Oh, I see, well, that explains it." "Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor."
