I think that really hit the nail on the head.
Less "over your head," and more "directly into your mealy-mouthed pie hole".

TM, I agree that people should get over it or get out, but it's not really your place to chase away new members hoping to benefit from Spiderweb's forums. Spiderweb keeps this place up as a service to its customers, not as your playground. If you want to harass the newbies, go somewhere you don't risk chasing business away from a small company.
Forgive me, father, for I hath sinned...

What? A "special communion", father? You want me to fill the chalice for you?

If you trick someone into throwing a pie in your face, there's still a pie in your face.

...

A cream pie.

EDIT: I just realized that a "pie" is a euphemism unto itself, but since it's so obscure, I'm going to leave this post as-is.

I liked the very idea of a mage hammering you with spells why you have to try and actually do things. I really liked Rentar's teleportation spell- it'd have been nice, though, if she REALLY went all-out on the party (and by her, I mean JV). Not just difficulty-wise, either.

I mean, what if Rentar made the ground next to the party instantly form an earthen barrier? Or why didn't she seal off rooms with small cave-ins? Or what about making her fly, so that she can't be hit by melee attacks? Or what about giant, searing waves of fire that the party has to get out of in order to breathe?

Man, I would love- just once- to actually fight a mage, not just a dude with a flamethrower.

Because you're a small-minded, caucasoid suburbanite, who is willing to marginalize whole segments of humanity in order to justify the moral viability of his race in general and his family in specific to have disproportionately more wealth than most people in the world could ever dream of.

Nothing says "globalization" like subjugating whole nations and forcing their residents into back-breaking labor at rock-bottom salaries, justifying the cruelty with a particularly rancid form of moral calculus that measures its success in the slim number of destitute peoples who starve to death less rapidly.

Your sketch is incredibly indeterminable. Literally. I make out a window; the rest is unreadable.

Your short stories are like lemons without the sex.

Favourite Avernum Game in The Avernum Trilogy

Avernum 1's plot: "Empire is evil. Kill demons. Kill emperor. Leave."

Avernum 2's plot: "Empire is evil-er. Meet the Walking McGuffins. Retrieve the Non-Walking McGuffins. Blow up portal. Kill demon-emperor."

Avernum 3's plot: "Empire is good-er. McGuffins are evil. McGuffins make plague. Kill plagues. Kill Queen McGuffin."

Avernum 4's plot: "McGuffins are evil-er. McGuffins make plagues again. Kill plagues again. Kill Queen McGuffin again. Kill Queen McGuffin again-again."

...

Where's the difference? A2. You're never going to be compelled to do anything very often in the Avernum universe, but from chapters 1-3 of the game, you will want to play because you don't know what will happen next. The endless waltz of "Kill, loot, sell" takes a backseat for a while as Jeff actually tells a compelling story, and the Vahnatai (before they too simply become another source for new monsters) are actually interesting.

And hell- even the gameplay in chapter 4 of the game is better than average in Avernum. The "plague" in this instance actually makes some sense, and the party takes a more lifelike (although still unreasonably powerful) role.

Some of the dungeons even have character. For instance, the Portal Fortress- that thing actually succeeded in giving off a feeling of bleakness (much moreso than Garzahd's fortress).

And okay- so combat in A2 gets stale relatively quickly, but that's the way things work in all of these games. A2 doesn't lose much on a comparative basis.

Ich kann Deutsch. Ich habe für fünf Jahre studiert, aber ich denke, dass ich fertig bin. Die Lehrere in der Uni sind so furchtbar schlecht, und ich kann nichts Neues lernen. Mein Deutsch ist gar nicht perfekt, aber es wurde meine Zeit vergeuden, mehr Deutsch an die Uni zu studieren.

日本語が事をできるが 二年かんだけべんきょうしましたから 日本語は俺がわるいいます

And last but not least,

Je parlez français. Mort.
