It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

...no swappin' CDs be the only "advantage", sounds like (or ye could jus' do a full install o' the games an' not 'ave to after installation anyways)...jus' a quick money grab fer all those who need new copies, I's'd imagine... :wub:"

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.


For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

And, for those gamers who weren't around when the games were released - afterall it's been nearly 10 years since BG1 so that's pretty much a whole new generation of gamers.

 

I say more power to Atari in this case. :wub:

They're freking cheap though, so I guess there's going to be bought copies sooner or later.

 

And I can finally play ToB and finish that damn plot.

Atari obviously disagrees hence this and their fear of NWN1 being a threat to NWN2.

He did say nearly ten years.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

No. That's a myth. They got rights to some IWD related materials, I believe. certain people ran with that and claimed it meant Obsidian owned IWD.

 

If they *did* own IWD franchise, at the very minimum, you'd see their name mentioned in this upcoming release.

 

P.S. Arkan 4 THA W! :(

I'll be getting these if I can find them. The CD swapping I really hate. They are going to be a collector's item in a few years, too...

Should BG1 and ToTSC become available on a single DVD, then I would definitely buy it. The one game I'm missing in my Infinity Engine collection :(
