  1. Hmm, depends When the twins were just born and my wife at hospital for 2 month people asked if they could bring lunch. They organized a rotating who was mass cooking And the boxes were returned empty. It was mainly because it is normal here to help each other. While at university in a mixed student home wehad a girl who was an excellent cook and she used to bring food when someone learned for exams. She was from Portugal and doing her local recipes.. I told her that I will do some ofmyrecipes once the tests were over. I never lived in a block in a town, so I would probably listened to my bellyfeeling what is right. Lamb is tasting best if the pieces are big so I would probably answer with a recipe which I wouldn't do for just2 people and ask if theywould like to share.
  2. Level 75 and the single player campaign is at platin and the octopus. Mastered: armour lore, combat discipline and mentalism focus. The strange part is, this character is an elementalist Some things which are useful to know if you have alchemy: If you reach platinum with a too low level the little healing potions heal just a third of your hitpoints. The trophy heals better in this phase of the game. Not having a bargain chain or a smith character for this one: There are a lot of rings and armours with an amount of x to base attack and defense value. The base defense value is boosted by runes of protection and the base attack value by a troolteeth trophy. Take a weapon with x% life leech and use the trophies for x% attack value and x% attack speed. It helps fighting bosses like the poison lord who isn't impressed much by the physical attacks of the elementalist tree.
  3. Speaking about shoes: Remember that Saint Nicholas arrives tomorrow (6th of decembre) and puts small gifts in boots and socks at the door. So place a really big boot at the door before you go for sleep tonight. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas_Day German speaking countries St. Nicholas and his companions in Haunzenbergersöll, Bavaria (1986). In Northern Germany, Sankt Nikolaus is usually celebrated on a small scale. Many children put a boot called Nikolaus-Stiefel (Nikolaus boot) outside the front door on the night of 5 December. St. Nicholas fills the boot with gifts and sweets overnight, and at the same time checks up on the children to see if they were good, polite and helpful the last year. If they were not, they will have a tree branch (Rute) in their boots instead. Nicholas is often portrayed in Bavarian folklore as being accompanied by Knecht Ruprecht who inquires of the children if they have been saying their prayers, and if not, he shakes his bag of ashes at them, or beats them with a stick. Sometimes a Nikolaus impersonator also visits the children at school or in their homes and asks them if they have been good (sometimes ostensibly checking his golden book for their record), handing out presents on the basis of their behavior. This has become more lenient in recent decades, and this task is often taken over by the Weihnachtsmann (Father Christmas). In more catholic regions, Nikolaus is dressed very much like a bishop and rides on a horse, welcomed at public places by a large crowd. Typical in Germany for Saint Nicholas Day is the Stutenkerl, a pastry made of sweet leavened dough. In Austria, Bavaria and Tyrol (Austro-Bavarian speaking regions), St. Nicholas is accompanied by Krampus, represented as a beast like creature, generally demonic in appearance. Nikolaus-Umzug in Fribourg, Switzerland (2009). In Swiss folklore, the Christmas gift-bringer is known as Samichlaus (like Dutch Sinterklaas a corruption of the name of St. Nicholas). BTW: Weather storm with 110km/h Ordered kids to stay inside.
  4. Had to post this: I bought a pair of Adidas Goodyear last summer for soccer training with kids. There was no warning, no sign that there was a hidden danger, but 3 days ago they turned out to be the ultimate evil. Our youngest screamed there is a beast at the door. Okay it had happened befor that there was a badger or a weasel who found its way in, we live in a forest at least. But there was no beast. She said but there was one and so I took a dog in hope he could smell something. Nothing. Yesterday evening our 14 year old said that she probably found the monster. At a certain angle of the door the outside lamp illuminated the back of the shoes and is the Adidas logo looks like an animal head.
  5. Happy birthday Celebrating a birthday in the cold months needs a heart warming beer like a Doppelbock. At least I used to do it on my birthdays. http://www.germanbeerinstitute.com/Doppelbock.html My last birthday was 5 years back. I refuse to get older, or maybe rather that at my last birthday party I did my wife got stressed and the twins decided to come 10 days earlier. Now we do the birthday of the twins and my own is somehow staying behind.
  6. Playing the dragon mage character quest for the first time, and there is this part of the quest after finishing creating the mechanic eye. In english it is called: And the second... which has no meaning for me, but there may be one, since I am not strong in english and american TV. http://sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:And_the_Second... The quest in the german version is called: Mit dem zweiten.... translated as: With the second.... It may be related to the campaign the ZDF (Zweites deutsches Fernsehen, Second german TV) was and is running. The full slogan is: Mit dem zweiten sieht man besser. You see better with the second (TV channel). In the quest someone is seeing better with the second (now mechanical eye). In all the ad#s the two fingers in front of an eye is a repeating thing. The ad above Is Vitali Klitschko whose box fight for box world championship was broadcasted in the ZDF. With the second you see better who is the lord of the (box) rings.
  7. A relative is a member of this local band. They just did a nice video and collect money for a studio to make an album. The only real weakness is that there is no tuba part, but I bet 99.9% of the listerners will like it just because there is no tuba
  8. Played the character in gold till 65 and now I hunt around farview in platin. There was a thread about a sacred2 editor. It included the source code so I just did a small script which set the flag. I hate full editors but they are useful if someone failed totally and wants to reskill but lacks time for a restart. Better use an editor than give up the game. I hope this is the discussion thread, it has some links for compiled versions but I can't guarantee that they are free of virusses or will rob you all the fun of the game. Here should be a link to the sourcecode and a compiled version, try to edit as few as possible. In case of the DM singleplayer island it is an bug which forced me. http://www.cheathappens.com/show_board2.asp?headID=79184&titleID=14440&onPage=31
  9. When the door rang she said she wasn't ready because she was searching one shoe. Short befor I was at the door I asked upstairs if she found him and she yelled back no when I already opened. Our entry hall was a century ago a stall with a high ceiling. One wall is build into the hill at the house. The hill has cold storage rooms dug in which are connected to the hall. So I often build the tripod for slaughtering just in the hall if it are smaller animals like a 40 pound young boar. Don't know how it is at other countries, here people aged 15/16 visit a dance school to learn classic dances. It was her dance partner at the school and I never saw him again, he lived opposite direction of the district capital where the dance school is. The main reason he chosed him was that he was the only one who wasn't smaller as she.
  10. Hmm, 16.6.2009 And took me 2 weeks to adapt the guide: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/11228-self-sufficient-melee-elf-guide-hc-240/ I remember that I typed all that while caring fpr the twins. They were born One and half a year earlier and my wife just started to work again and I took my 1 month free from work.
  11. With a hardcore character and no shopping I keep armour lore at level. I tryto avoid peek damages because of too low armour. Sadly I didn't find an artamark star amulet yet , nor more than 3 armour piec es of any set. Even thr all armour type unique shield hasn't popped up yet.
  12. I was shanghai'd by Gogo in the english sacred2 forum to put my melee elf guide at darkmatters.
  13. Killed all main quest monsters in multiplayer. Doing the guardians with my nearly non existing equipmen took 10 minutes and 83 healing potions With this done I used an editor (I hate to be forced to do this) and set gold difficulty finished flag as done. So I am now in single player platinum The problem is that I am level 56 and the equipment I find is level 75.
  14. Well it was a time when I was just finished with 13 years school and needed money before being drafted into army for 18 months and a payment of like 200 dollar/month. night shift bonus dirt bonus double shift bonus danger bonus ... All this bonus payments sounded like good money when wanting to buy my first car. Not to say that I learned stuff which I never learned at school or university and which is quite useful now. But I didn't know at that time of my nowadays job. Most mathematicians end in a bank or insurance company. Controlling a crane, welding, learning basics about steel mixing ... Army added explosives and so it feels good when the companies math could do the same work as the steel workers, better communication and feedback from production to planing and developing. Weather: No heavy accidents yet. But starting around 4pm some snow is predicted. So with getting dark and snow the same moment it may be tricky on the roads.
  15. When you were 17, did you ever asked a girl for a dance event and when ringing at her door there is a big man opening it: wielding a bloody axe in his hand and wearing a blood smeared apron? Then a girl is screaming... Happened 2 years ago when I butchered a boar and my then 16 year old daughter noticed that her shoes fall prey to a wild animal called dog. Wished I had a camera at this moment... He turned white in the fraction of a second.
  16. I did a summer job at a water pipe manufacturer. The savety rules were all or nothing. If a drop of liquid iron hits you it may burn through your savety gear which took away 95% of the accidently iron spray normally. But the iron can do real harm before you can get rid of it if it went inside your gear. If you worked with naked upper body you were short burned but could get rid of the iron way quicker. Two edged sword., because there was no savety gear which could guarantee that no liquid iron could go inside for 100%. We had buckets with water which had to be poured inside the savety gear after removing the helmet. So if the person injured panics and you are allone to help him noone could explain to me how to do it. So in case of a kitchen accident: hot fat can be removed faster without socks and wearing Birkenstocks, but they do less protection if the ceiling comes down? BTW: weather is -8 celcius with spray rain. So all is icing, wonder when the first car crasches will happen.
  17. Daughter wanted to be driven to cinema to watch Fack ju G"othe, which is most visited movie in germany this year. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/suck-me-shakespeer-fack-ju-656793
  18. Hmm, our local confectioner does nearly every cake/pie if requested. Worth a try I think.
  19. I would rather edit balance.txt and turn needed level for plat to 80. And on the way to 80 I could kill all main quest beasts in multiplayer. But it seems like a bug that there is no teleporter back to DM start place.
  20. When I try to start single player gold again: Main land... And the marker at the start place in the very southwest
  21. Don't know what happened: The character is a single player character to play the character quest of the DM which I never did before. However I played some multiplayer at gold first and now the character is at main land with the main quest marker still at the start place. Is there any way to get back to the start place of the dragon mage. Or do I really have to play the character all the way with leveling to platin because there is no way to play the main quest? Is it a known bug?
  22. Update of the character at level 50: Finished silver at level 46. Took alchemy at 50 to avoid the most often reason for a death: reaching gold and the small heal potions only heal 40% at the new difficulty. With one point in alchemy I have 10 total points and 48.3% heal with a potion. Mentors last longer, as do concentration potions at boss fights. armour lore: 40/47---50/61 dragon magic focus: 9/16---26/37 concentration: 1/6---1/10 mentalism focus: 31/38---31/42 combat discipline: 36/41---50/59 elemental focus: 9/16---9/20 elemental lore: 1/8---1/12 toughness: 1/8---1/12 alchemy: 0/0---1/10 Destroyers are now at 1282 damage, keeping the reg time at 6s. Boosting dragon magic focus at bit: more intelligence= damage from better intelligence from companion. Modifying dragon strike for a defensive use at this hardcore character. A bit strange that this character will be an elementalist and I put only 10 points into the elementist tree so far. The character is named: Tenthird 'Sixpack' Greifenfreund out of obvious reasons.
  23. We do carrots in an else dry walnut cake to make it juicy. What is so special about the Sauerkraut/chocolade combination ... it is a taste booster.
  24. Hmm, Sauerkraut is best if not pasteurized, fresh from the barrel with a lot of bacteria, pro-biotic. The bacteria do the vitamin b12 which plants cant produce. Salt is used to extract water from the leaves before fermentation starts and not added to preserve. The salt water can be filtered away. If ribs are boiled in Sauerkraut no extra salt is added. Here butchers sell raw Sauerkraut from barrels. Isn't hard to make it yourself if no butcher is selling it.
  25. Yes the kraut/ cabbage makes it juicy. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. Sauerkraut and chocolade share some aromatic acids. So the chocolade taste is kinda multiplied by the Sauerkraut. Modern Molecular kitchen explained how the old recipes works. Sauerkraut Fermentation adds some vitamins, makes it easier to digest, it is as 4 times more healthy than unfermented cabbage. Kept us german barbarians healthy in the long winter months when fresh vegs werent available. Not to forget that the family of my wife has generation long history of making and selling big clay pots for fermentation of the cabbage. Had to look up coleslaw. A coleslaw cake would be more a Sauerkraut-pie? http://www.food.com/recipe/altdeutscher-sauerkraut-kuchen-german-sauerkraut-pie-80645
