  1. I read it and there are just too many things left undone or unsaid for it to be the last book. There has to be at least one more to finish tying up all the loose threads.
  2. Ah but Gogo isn't known for his logic ... BTW, I left you a PM "over there".
  3. My question is, how was I able to login on the 19th yet couldn't just recently? I know I'm old but I don't have to remember my passwords since my computer does that for me! BTW, thanks for having W2k9 contact me in the SIF. Sorry you are having trouble over there.
  4. Congratulations on your recent ressurrection. That hasn't been done really well for a fairly long time ...
  5. If you log offline when you leave the game will this protect your character?
  6. I can't. I used to have one that I got so my mother would be able to get in touch with me no matter where she was. Unfortunately when I went down to Florida to give her hers, she had a stroke and died shortly after. Mine is now collecting dust somewhere in my computer dungeon having not been used after the initial contract ran out.
  7. Somewhere along the North-West coast in Orc territory if I remember. [Added] Ah, I just found the information: Inside Gronkor's Cave Location: 16;51;-2;840.050781;1605.203125;5.216572;280.004333 Hmm, I guess you don't need to take any pictures now though ... unless you just want to prove you were there.
  8. I don't think I will be able to attend. I just installed my copy and only have a U.S. version of Sacred 2 with all the patches. I seem to be able to get in but thought I had read somewhere that you were going to have Ice and Blood players ... Perhaps someone will take a parting shot of my grave for old times sake.
  9. I still remember my 3 months basic training under a Marine DI. I wouldn't want to live through that ever again but would never want to loose the memories either. I started out in 1965 as a US Navy Enlisted and made it all the way to E-6 before I got demoted to O-1 after 11 years and a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science. I retired after 22 years as a Naval Flight Officer, one of the few people who can tell pilots where to go and get away with it. Good luck with the physical. I still remember the long line of us stripped down to nothing but our underwear when in waltzed a female Navy doctor to check us all for hernias! Talk about embarrassment!
  10. Since the video in the first post no longer works, is there any chance of either different videos or the name of the game ... or both? [Added] Ah, how about both ... Along with the Brütal Legend FAQ and the Official Brutal Legend Website. It is apparently not available for the PC though.
  11. You weren'y lost, you just decided to take the scenic route since gas is so cheap now ...
  12. Fascinating. I may have to finally install my retail copy of Sacred 2 so I can think about getting involved with this ...
  13. Fascinating, another inhabitant of the Land Down Under. BTW, to those who live there, everyone else in the world is from the Land Down Under ...
  14. Obviously you aren't as pig-headed about it as some ...
  15. Definitely beats the alternative doesn't it? Down: I'm on a semi-permanent, unpaid vacation until I can find a new job. Up: I'm on a semi-permanent, unpaid vacation until I can find a new job.
  16. Wrong! Torchlight is only single player and will sell for $19.99. Initially it will be via download only with a boxed version to become available early 2010. They will be using the income from the SP Torchlight to help fund the MMO coming out sometime in 2011.
  17. That's horrible! You might be forced to play Sacred 2 during that time!! Hope you're well soon.
  18. If I was still teaching I wouldn't be doing this because I'm rather careful about my students privacy but, since I've been out of the teaching business since the end of June, here it is ... PCTalk.info I started it the end of 2002 when I started teaching. It was a safe place my students could visit on the Internet that would help them to learn a little about what the World Wide Web was all about. It has different pages they could explore and even a forum where probably 50% was hidden to the public so they wouldn't feel self-conscious about posting. I added a FATE Mod Archive when it became apparent that the ones available were going to disappear as no one was taking care of them any more and their hosting was about to run out. I did it at someone elses suggestion with the idea that a whole crew of us would develop it ... I'm the only one trying to finish it now. I started a Sacred 2 Fansite just to see if I could create something like that and later added Pevil's site to it when she lost her hosting. Lately I've been helping NightWolfe to get her site set up on my host as she also was loosing her host and her site was too good to allow to disappear. Just tonight I decided to start creating a Torchlight site. Torchlight is a new game coming out created by the same crew who made Mythos but lost the rights to it when the company they were working for went under. Does anyone see any kind of trend here?
  19. My first desktop PC in 1977 had a whopping 48 KB RAM and dual 140 KB 5¼" Floppies! My first "computer" was an HP-65 purchased about 1975. I still have it and it still works.
  20. The quoted answer included is from Von, Ans didn't separate the posts. So my bet is that Ansgar can't answer that for you Ooops, my bad! I guess that I couldn't seperate who was who! I wrote computer games on an IBM Mainframe from about 1974 until 1976, does that count for anything?
  21. Nicely done video. Too bad the in-game horses can't be used as cavalry is supposed to be ... high speed slash and run. No self-respecting Cavalry Officer would allow his unit to stand and fight, they would be decimated. I would like to see a video of a large group doing a fast cavalry charge against a mob ...
  22. Just be extra careful if you decide to "fix" yourself. One little slip could sever more than you bargained on ...
  23. They will be running a progressive Beta and have said the SP version (Torchlight) will be free, just like Mythos. When Torchlight is finished I remember reading somewhere that they are thinking about doing a "different" game that will be MP.
  24. Where does this information come from? Is the Add-On out already?
  25. I really enjoyed playing Far Cry. Wish I could find my original disk and ID code. My wife bought a copy of Far Cry 2 for me from a "bargain Bin" for about $20 USD and I was happy ... This morning for some reason, I decided to read some of the PDF manual that is included with the game. It appears that there is a company called Massive Incorporated that is in charge of in-game ad placement. But they don't just place the ads before the game ships ... Their Disclosure statement from the PDF: The link supposedly works from inside the manual but has a small problem. someone very carefully insured that the closing period became a part of the link. The actual link is: http://www.massiveincorporated.com/site_network/privacy.htm with no period at the end. Now, a very interesting read from the companies privacy statement located at the above URL: Why am I not surprised?
