Yeah, I just say a couple days ago that the whole movie Passion of the Christ was done in Aramaic. I must be wrong there, or just don't share the modern concensus.

That stupid button!!! in The Exile Trilogy

You guys are completely wrong. First you must kill Rentar-Ihrno's pet Spiny Worm and step once in the center of the runes. Then you have to go see the crystal souls and immeditely after buy the boat in New Cotra, buy the boat, by 3 Knowledge Brews from the shop in the center island, get the Major Blessing Spell by sailing into the west side of Ghikra, go to the trainer, max all your characters on archery and throwing weapons skill. Then you have to join the Anama and collect all five artifacts in the course of five days.

Well, I guess the above posts weren't wrong at all. You have to do what they say all beforehand.

Don't forget to collect the Xian Skull along the way, though; only with that can you really safely press the button.

Only experience will help you on the editor. The documentation is good for the very beginning, but you'll need experience to be any good.

But don't worry about getting experience. Go for it.

Jeff is obviously expected to be a game programming genius then. Well, well.

But I do agree that if he's going to make games, they'd better be good.

Luz had a pretty good map of Valorim here. It's not in totally true color, though, but you can tell where you are with Paing coordinates.

If we could just figure out fusion, then all these nuclear waste problems would be over. However, the problem is the amount of energy it takes to heat the hydrogen to 15 million kelvins.

As for solar power you'd think you could put a sub-Mercury orbiting solar generator or something. :P But then you'd have to transport it, which is another significant problem with electricity.

Being banned won't help TM's mood. I would rather be wrong.

TGM, who used to be fun to have around, is duly becoming a Polaris/Desp. addict, and that's not good for comeback chances. And if he is repriveleged, he would have a need for at least 5 new accounts. :P I would rather be wrong.

Well, other than the easier road to BoE4, Exile is dead. It's kind of like a backward step in both graphics and interface for him. Not going to happen.

That said, well, Jeff always needs to make his games better. I don't care if they're good already. More! More! :P

But I can understand that Jeff is only one head.

Avernum 4? in General

And after all this, all the directions are still weirdly rotated clockwise 45 degrees.

Anyway, I think it looks pretty good. It definately needs to be turn-based, as that's just how Spiderweb games are. I'm sure the plot will be quite interesting, whatever it is. It is a whole game, you know, so I don't know if you guys are expecting a supersized VoDT or something. :P

As for the monster plagues, some are interesting and good, but the whole game shouldn't revolve around them. Well, more than once, anyway. New and creating main missions as well as sidequests are required to make this game much of a success.

No, I wouldn't like the diagrams themselves per se, but may other people would. You could make that quite a business of coming up with interesting designs, making them, diagramming them out, publishing them, and selling them.

That's quite a poll.

I think this in the future, or at least in the near future or immediately after our fossil fuels are depleted, nuclear power will take over as the most viable. Things like wind and solar generators are expensive and don't produce a constant or large volume of electricity. Anything that requires burning realeases greenhouse gases, which some people view as unacceptible. Nuclear power produces toxic wastes, but by that time we should be able to load in all into a space shuttle and fling it at the sun. ;)

Programming unuseful stuff and posting here. And reading books, though that's not so much of a waste of time.

I actually prefer my eggs, greasy, tasty, and with a yolk that is solid. If the yolk is runny, that seems to mean that the whole egg is a bit soft.

Continued disrespectfulness and obscenity while failing to heed warnings. The first time it was only 10 days, but he was right back at it from the get-go when that expired.

Whatever. I guess I'm about the only one who sees it, but it's definately there on my screen. It's not really readily noticable from a distance away, and I causes me no problems, so it's fine. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen it, and I s'pose not.

Can you smoke skribbane? Or is that worse for you. Obviously skribbane is a better drug in the first place, though.
