Hm... for all the World Cup speculation that went on around here, go to this thread. If you read it, you'll see that we've already beaten the topic to death.

But then again, we might as well do it again. :D

Going into round 2, I wanted Ghana to win... but was fairly certain that Brazil would stomp everyone...

EDIT: Hm... it appears that I r teh Guild Master. zomg1.

I can't see how this would be implemented for Avernum... all of the graphics would need to be fixed, which would effectively take forever. And it'd look even weirder than A4 did.

Ah, for the days of Beast Ceremony...

Drat... it appears that even when the game is losing, I can't win. :P

EDIT: Wow... I even lost more than Aran. I guess Myst IV really is that good.

Who posted the entire Aeneid to crash the boards? I heard about it once, and I want to say it was either Djur or Alec... and Alec came close when he posted the Communist Manifesto, I imagine.

countering freezing? in Avernum 4

I prefer actual skill when it comes to combat, actually... spell spamming takes a lot of the fun out of the game. And if you can't defeat a boss without spamming a cheap trick, then you probably shouldn't be there yet.

That said, it was immensely fun to spam Divine RETRIBUTION!!! in A4. It was one of the things that got me through the endgame...

EDIT: For clarification, the only thing that made that fun was screaming it at the monitor full of vahnatai and pylons.

Depending on where you live, this could just mean that the bar is set pretty low in your community. Coming from the fattest state in America, I know...

That said, my BMI borders on unhealthy, depending on which test thingy I look at... 160 lbs (72.5 kg) and 6'3" (1.91 m).

TM just happens to have the longest running topic. I don't think he has multiple threads attempting that feat. And if I've heard correctly, the longest thread ever was either the legendary Xian Skull thread, or the vague "What are you listening to" type of thread, which Imban reportedly terminated at post 1001.

Normally, this would be correct, but Jeff recently switched the Avernum series over to a new engine that's... well, it's almost the same as Geneforge's engine. So A4 was/is still working out the kinks of that change. It's good, but not the best.

I echo the sentiments of others when I say "Play Avernum 2!"

(And I have no experience with Geneforge, so I shouldn't give advice about it)

Yeah, he won't wait until September, if his past indications of determination (and all-around bloody-mindedness) are worth anything.

Drat, does this mean his IP-ban has to be widened again? It already shut out Nazgul...

Pardon me, but this seems rather counterproductive. It'd take something like 4-6 hits to put Garzahd out of commission, hits which could be better spent using level 3 to paralyze 4-6 of his henchmen so that they can't distract you from your main goal.

Bind Foe level 3 FTW, in other words...

This does tend to solve problems, but I think it can melt ice on enemies. Not like it could ever matter, since half of the stuff that could put ice on your enemies is immune to charming... and I don't think there's any way for a PC to freeze anything.
