Did the forums help you register? in General

IM a newbie!! in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, March 4 2006 14:36 Profile Homepage #26 Welcome, SummerCatch073. Leave your sanity at the door, and I'm curious as to who suggested a "Hello" topic. "Oldbie" is completely relative. However, it helps to have had nebulous origins. I can't even remember when I really started posting in earnest, and I think I fall into the category of "oldbie". Grammar, spelling, and common courtesy also help, of course... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

Avernum 2 - 8.54 (9.7/5.5) in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, March 4 2006 14:33 Profile Homepage #2 I'll top that and give it a 9.5. I don't care if that makes me a bad person, but A2 was the only Avernum that I ever managed to completely play through more than once... and I enjoyed each time as much as the last. It's just awesome, really... Ah, for the days when Vahnatai were more than walking plot accelerators... the token appearances before the ultimate confrontation in A3 just weren't any good.

His post rate kind of gives that away, though. Ed, I second Drakefyre's comments.

Character Choices in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, March 4 2006 14:05 Profile Homepage #4 Yes, it's really a shame. The color-swapped character models were a very bad idea, in my opinion. I get the feeling that all of you would've thrown the beta against a wall (there were even worse choices for characters, and they were well-hidden). But life goes on... -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Quest Order in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, March 4 2006 13:57 Profile Homepage #1 Well, it's too late to undo it, but you can still finish the game. It may just be a little tougher in a few spots. For the next time you go through, go talk to Houghton first. Then you'll get the Almaria rescue quest, and after that you'll be sent after the crystal box. I could've sworn that Jeff had fixed those barriers... -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Exile 3: Ruined World - 7.50 (9.2/5.5) in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, March 3 2006 21:30 Profile Homepage #42 I'm stunned and appalled that anyone could confuse me for Imban. I have never been, and will never be Imban. Please, let's not start that wonderful little bandwagon again... I have to kind of agree with TM's response to "The standards seem a lot higher for BoA scenarios"... there's just nothing to compare to, unless you've got an epic-sized scenario like Bahss. It's been said so many times before, BoE is better and BoA will never be that good... and as a result of that talk, it never will be. So we're left with a few paltry offerings to compare ourselves to (and honestly, it's just not difficult to outdo some of the current crop... I include DoK in this assessment). However, whenever BoA and BoE are thrust into the same room and compared, I disagree with TM. No matter what BoA designers do, no matter how impressive the effort is, no matter how high of a CSR score it gets, oldbies will just say "Oh, there's no way that's better than (insert BoE scenario title here)". Or even better, "Give up now and go back to BoE... don't waste your time on a dying system" EDIT: Typo.

PSP in General

Or maybe the one where they toss the game device around town to a bunch of different people. No, they're the commercials with such wonderfully interesting quips as "It's like cheese you can listen to outside!" Somebody must've put a chimp in charge of PSP marketing. They achieved notoriety, that's for sure... but at the expense of their dignity. I agree that the commercials are clinically stupid. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Ash Got Banned... in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, March 3 2006 21:19 Profile Homepage #5 I, too await the release of details before I pass judgement. I can't even begin to think of why Ash would be banned... (Though if I had to guess, it'd be all the comments about BoA being dead) EDIT: The sig? That's it?! EDIT2: I'm looking at Ash's profile, and I don't see BANNED anywhere... and that should've overridden his custom title. So, I'm just kind of confused now.

AOL isn't really that good, try Norton. I second the idea that AOL is unpleasant... I really only use it for AIM at this point (yay for university-supplied email!). However, I also agree with the sentiment that Norton yields ungodly lags. In fact, most virus scans seem to do that for me (yay for having a Mac and not needing that many scans). One scanning program in particular, which was the LiveUpdate part of Norton (also provided by my university... I don't thank them for it), just sat on my desktop racking up time on the "Time Remaining" bar. It got to 50 hours before I killed it. And I also fail to see why Ed here thinks he's a virus expert.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, March 3 2006 12:19 Profile Homepage #47 quote: Originally written by Thralni, the flying Avernite: This reminds me of a discussion I had yesterday, and it is not entirely off-topic. About having a goal in life. that is quite a problem, a goal, I mean. people generally feel two things about a goal, depending on their present situation. With having a goal, this means: Reached your goalNot reached your goalNow, if we take a person in his fifties, then he will feel in these two ways, in the same order a sabove, about his goal: He will be depressed because he reached his goal, and can't find anything else to do.He will hate himself and be depressed because he didn't manage to achieve his goal.(Note that this can also occur on earlier ages, but it will start at an age of about 35.) Is it good to have a goal in life then? or will you be depressed because you feel bored and don't know what to do. As I see it, in all manners, a person could become depressed, no matter what he does. Of course, some people have a normal life, retire, and live happily ever after. I may be taking this wrong, but I'm sensing that you think it's somewhere between difficult and impossible for a person to have any pride in the life they've lived. Either that, or this went in a circle. Anybody else read this and get a deep sense of defeatism? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
