  1. Gogo: I'm in! Those are totally for the cold winter nights. Mmmm. :D Just checked forecast there. Not too envious. Wind's quite chilling, I presume?

    Quite warmer here, and it should stay that way for the reminder of the weekend. Though, could also go the other way around. >_<

    chattius: That should be great too. Never been a friend of ciders by whole, but that sounds about nice combination to keep one warm.

  2. Never got to the HC-closed, or any HC at all, but I do tend to back up my saves from C:\Users\Username here\Saved Games\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2. This on Windows 7, but if memory serves, should be same on Vista. Of XP not so sure.

    So, one can easily back those files up. Which IS warmly recommended in case of HD failure or something similar.

    And also test those all those skills to heart's content. ^^

  3. Gogs: Flashing and Flaying Glaives of Atherton, I take it? Funny little weaps indeed.

    And there is a way of getting more of them, via the great CM-patch. Though it's not as surefire as typing a code.

    Gotta hunt some baddies big time. :P But then again, it's what this game's about. Loot, loot and more loot. Yarrr! :pirate:

  4. Robb: You should deffo experience one of our worst winters. That'd be enough snow for few years. :P

    Gogo: Yep, only. I remember few winters back, when there was nearly 2 meters of that white "wonder". We have a flat roof, so we had to lessen the burden just in case. Wouldn't want an open house, now would we? xD

    I swear, if not for some heavy rain that spring, some leftover might've been on my backyard at Midsummer day.

  5. Welcome around, from the shadows. :)

    I'm sure all of us have been sorta lurkers at some time of life, counting myself in. :P

    And great time to activate again, now that DM has risen from the murky waters of cyber sea.

    Gonna post my personal brigade for reinforce the fort, so that pesky hackers won't get the better of us again.

    I'm kind of literature person myself, along with gaming craze. Although all's been in hiatus for really long. Have lacked insipration to get anything done.. But I swear, one day...

    Oh, and don't worry about typos. Looks fine to me. Although, what am I to say, English's not my main either. :P

  6. Don't know for sure, Gogo... Only place I've used it littl more was when I got everything in order for a neighbour's laptop. That made me quite positive to steer away from it. Doesn't just click the right way for me.

    I'm sure someone knows, though, if possible at all. :)

  7. Guess I should be glad that we haven't had any bizarre weathers around here...

    Last week had couple of darned cold, but nicely sunny days. Some snowfall, again, on weekend and now semi-cloudy and around -10C.

    Kinda chuckled a little, when I read about British winter problems; around -10 or something and measly 5-10cm snow. True that they are lot more south than Finland, but still.

    Always reminds me of this

    True story. Atm, we "only" got something around 30-40cm of snow, luckily.

  8. Sure, I'll be giving it a go, but not quite from the "start". Got whole lotta games from Steam sales.

    Mainly Skyrim, so I'm quite sure it'll suck most of my time. Still, glad to see, we're almost there with this one. :)

  9. I've read around 8(?) books way back then. Can't be quite sure, as it was a translation, and the original books were split to about 2 or 3 pieces a shot. :o

    Was a good read then, and I'm quite sure I'll be enjoying it a lot, once I can get it started again. Still waiting for a good monetary situation to get the last 4 books.

  10. Hmm, I'd be a bit sceptic with that. That's hackuva long time for any lightning equipment. But if that's true, it'd be really handy purchase.

    Getting all annoyed with normal bulbs which don't even last a year in worst scenario. And moreso as EU has denied the manufacturing the old types, leaving us with only energy saving ones. Sure, they're all nice and all, but still. Wouldn't even dream to put one in sauna... Or even kitched hood.

    Those are nasty ones, by the way. Once broke a fuse when it went off...

  11. That album is Star One's Victims of the Modern Age. Really nice album altogether. I got a signed edition with a T-shirt when it came out. ^^

    And Arjen's actually making new stuff with Ayreon. Maybe we'll get a full album next year or so?

    I personally don't like his single projects as much as his collaboration ones. Plays really well, but I don't quite dig his singing. Though he's an amazing coordinator, I'll give him that. All stuff with Ayreon and Star One's really great. I'd warmly recommend you to listen Ayreon's Into the Electric Castle. Might be a little hard to get to, if one's not listened much progressive metal, but that's one really great when you get into it.

     

    Oh, and there's full list of Ayreon's quest artists. Just checked it quickly again and noticed that Hansi Kürch from Blind Guardian is Guesting in 01011001.

  12. Omni: Hey, no worries. :D I was actually debating about moving somewhere else with a friend yesterday. And one place I suggested was Netherlands. :P

    Guess we are both not very satisfied with many things our "darling" government has made few past years, or something...

    Friend even offered me a modified name; Johan van Kainoulainen. Guess we're kinda random bunch at times too.

    And as it is, this thread reminds me of series of threads on Finnish anime/manga/general Japan stuff- forum where I frequent. Fitly named as Offtopics, they're full of random chatting.

     

    And I indeed share your sentiments about Floor. Mostly heard her as one of the singers of Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One project. I like her singing a whole lot too.

  13. Omni: I'm quite sure there's a big possibility to get an Enhanced Edition for BG2 too, if things go well. And I've heard whispers they might also go after Icewind's Dale one of these days. Nothing official but it's always possible, seeing there's a lot of suckers for these games, me included.

     

    And about Mass Effects; they sure are quite FPS'ey, but do have quite many roleplaying components too, and there's many choices which reflect your actions through all 3 games, which is really nice. Albeit it's somewhat a chore to push at least 6 different Shepards all through the games. :P

    Still kinda liked it. Why else would've I played ME2 4 times in 2 weeks or something. xD

    Oh, and there's going to be a trilogy-edition which nails all 3 games together, so that'd be a perfect purchase for those who don't yet own any of them.

     

    And Nightwish. Well, you kinda missed my country; I'm from Finland which is where Nightwish it from too. :P Hopefully I would get a chance to see them next summer if things go well. I really liked what I've heard of Floor's work with the guys. She's altogether one of my fave female singers, so I was oeverjoyed when I heard she's joining the crew. Maybe temporarily, but I do hope she'll stick with 'em longer.

  14. Omni: Go for the Enhanced Edition, deffo! Haven't gotten it yet. Channeling my leftover funds on ME3, namely Omega.

    But in any even, the Enhanced Edition will definately be worth every penny, if you're a RPG, or more specifically FR-fan. Never had the chance to play the original one. Oh, I had it at one time, but the when noticed it wouldn't look very good on full-HD screen, sold it out.

    Anyways, I'm currently into Mass Effect 3. And secondly on Persona 4 Golden. Finally a great game for my Vita. ^^ Too bad it's dubbed, and quite badly, IMHO. But I guess the improvements and added stuff somewhat compensate that.

  15. Okay, broke down and ordered this one. At least I think it's this, as mine will be somewhat cheaper. But I read from the description it'll include all the bonus materials and a dragonegg paperweight. No need for an actual paperweight, but I'm sure it'll be nice addition to the few collectibles that float around here. :)

     

    Kinda had a break with the second season, and I think I might postpone it to the release of the BD-collection late next Feb. Got it reserved and all. Might be a good thing to read down the books first.

    Only around 300 pages in the first book and it really feels already better that the series, which really is understandable. And I'm sure I'll be wanting a reference book later, when the characters multiply. At least I heard there'll be such a thing.
