  1. Hmm. The only way I could see it was to quote the post ... Wonder why I couldn't see anything otherwise? [Added] Even after quoting the post, I still can't see anything but I can copy the link while in edit mode and paste it into my browser to see the video. What's going on here!
  2. By the time I found this topic there was nothing to be found in the original post. What happened?
  3. Cold weather warning! Please remember, now that it's winter, animals seek out the heat of vehicles to stay warm. Before starting your car, please check around the wheels and engine for these cold animals. You may no even notice they are there! I'm sure there is a better place to put this but am getting ready to go out with my favorite wife, so decided to just dump this and let someone with more time and knowledge sort it out later.
  4. It doesn't look like you are banned to me unless you are talking about a different forum. http://forum.sacred2.com/index.php this forums that u linked for me before Ah. Did you use the same username as you do here? If not, what is your username there? [Added] Just sent a message to SIF Staff: Hope it helps.
  5. It doesn't look like you are banned to me unless you are talking about a different forum.
  6. Don't know what to say. I tried my daughters disk before I ended up purchasing my own, so I know it's possible to install on a different PS3 that the disk was originally installed on. There is another discussion of a similar problem => here <=.
  7. Thank you. I always have a good time when I take my favorite wife out anywhere. We even enjoy just sitting next to each other on the sofa watching videos.
  8. I forgot to add that, somewhere in there, we went to the pet store to buy dog food. After all, I need to eat, even when I'm in the dog house ... You are absolutely correct. I treasure time spent with my favorite wife.
  9. Hmm, how could I have missed this topic!? Thanks for the wishes. My wife and I had a really wild day. We started out by sleeping in late (I no longer work out of the home and she didn't work that day). Then I took her to the IRS to get some forms she needed for work. Then we went to Chick-fil-a to get our monthly freebies (bowl of chicken soup for both of us and a chocolate chip cookie for me that I shared.) Then we went to Target to purchase a new 5x7 rug for the living room. Ended up getting two. Then we went back to the IRS because she had forgotten to get a form. Then we went to the Dollar Store. I found a lot of DVD's that looked interesting and decided to buy them, about $65 at $5 each. (Forgot it was my birthday, so I guess I bought my own birthday present!) Then we came home and watched TV until dinner. The rest of the evening wasn't quite as exciting ...
  10. To: My daughter's boyfriend Subject: Daddy's Ten Rules of Dating Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk, you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: you may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: "Early." Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: * Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. * Places where there is darkness. * Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. * Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goosedown parka - zipped up to her throat. * Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chain saws are okay. * Hockey games are okay. * Old folks' homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless God of your going out and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car-there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine. ,,, /'^'\ ( o o ) -----------------------------------oOOO--(_)--OOOo------
  11. If you have a girl, buy a shotgun ... Teenagers are like Cats How so? Well, consider: - Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name. - No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot. - You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents. - Even if you tell jokes as well as David Letterman, neither your cat nor your teen will ever crack a smile. - No cat nor teenager shares your taste in music. - Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing. - Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did. - Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner, communicating that ultimate human ecstasy -- a sense of complete and utter boredom. - No cat nor any teenager has ever improved anyone's furniture. - Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have been known to return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are not above that sort of behavior. Thus, if you must raise teenagers, the best sources of advice are not other parents, but veterinarians. It is also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at hand at all times. And remember above all else, put out the food and do not make any sudden moves in their direction. When they make up their minds, they will finally come to you for some affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant moment for all concerned.
  12. Yes, but that's only if you select each and every one of the most expensive options. I looked at this the other day and configured a very nice system for only a little over $10,000.00.
  13. What about the character editor you mentioned. We had one available to us when we were Beta testing. I know because I created some amazing characters to help me test later parts of the game. I didn't realize there were some that would work with the retail game.
  14. OK, I understand the rational behind a "Shopper" but wasn't aware that there was a shopper network available nor character editors! Do you have any links to either?
  15. OK, this seems like a likely topic to ask my question in. I found myself saddled with an escort quest and just thought I would take my time finishing as there were other things I wanted to do first. Then the NPC died and I failed the quest! I thought there was some way to heal escorts but can't seem to find any information. Anyone know if an escort can be healed while in your party?
  16. Night Wolfe also made a walkthrough. Hers was pictorial. Hmm, seeing that page reminds me I need to fix some links. [Added] OK, fixed the button bar. The links were OK, some of the images were missing! Have no idea where they might have gone but I was able to cobble together something that works, though probably not in the manner that Night Wolfe originally wanted. Wonder how the images went missing?
  17. The only thing I would have had would be a video to upload to YouTube as the truck was facing oncoming traffic and angled so you couldn't see the front plates. I can do without the video if it means a corresponding lack of terror caused by the bone-headed acts of others.
  18. I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky. We had a narrow squeak tonight. We were on our way back from visiting our "baby" daughter and her family when I almost hit another vehicle! We were almost home and it was really dark out with no lighting in the section of the road we were on, I was doing 65 in a 65 zone on a 4 lane (each way) section of the Interstate. I had just moved into the right hand lane preparatory to exiting in about 1.5 miles down the road when I suddenly saw the dark tail gate of a small pickup truck extending partially into the same lane I was in! He was facing the wrong way with his lights on what appeared to be a darkened, possibly disabled vehicle that was well off the travel lanes on the right shoulder. I saw his headlights first and then realized that there was a very faint light almost right in front of me that was his tail light seen from a front side angle. If I hadn't seen it at the last minute, realized what it was, and swerved at the last minute, he would have taken out the entire right side of my car ... the same side that my most important treasure in the world was sitting! I remember looking in my rear view mirror fully expecting to see the car that had been tail-gating me hit him but it also managed to swerve in time. I used OnStar to report the problem and hope the police showed up in time to keep anyone from getting killed and to read the idiot who was driving the truck the riot act!
  19. Since it's that time of the year, I thought I would share this ever popular site. Yes, I realize I should have posted this a LOT sooner but perhaps, if we remember where this topic is, it can be used a little sooner next year! Norad's Santa Claus Tracker
  20. Thanks, I will download it next time I'm on my PC.
  21. I went to look for the Community Patch but couldn't figure out which was the main file.
  22. I live just south of you a ways, in Maryland. I don't have CM though. I thought it might be more appropriate to relearn how to play the standard game first before trying any Mods. Unfortunately, the website I've been trying to get going has been taking almost all my time.
  23. What time zone are you in? I'm in -5 but sometimes keep weird hours ... like tonight. If I stay up much longer it will be tomorrow! I also have Sacred 2 on the PS3 and Sacred 2 Gold on the PC, so you have your choice ... I must warn you though, I haven't really played since Ascaron went out of business, too depressed that my favorite game company was no more. I will have to learn all over again ... maybe that's why I was buried in a cave near the NW corner of the map.
  24. It was, especially since the updates were 12+ GB each.
