I like grad school better since there were fewer classes and there wasn't that push to finish in 4 years. Besides it offered plenty of opportunities to play with undergraduate minds.

Supergluing coins to the floor to watch them scramble to pick them up was always a favorite.

More likely is that Jeff decides to update the older games to a new engine like Avernum is a remake of Exile.

Bug in Nethergate Resurrection? in Tech Support

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Goagh-Nar is set up so you can't go back through the secret door as a Celt once you exit the area. To maximize loot you need to transfer it past the secret door so you can come back later for it. Similarly as the Romans, you have to place stuff outside the porticulls. Once you go to the lowest level, there is no extra trips.

Not that much with coupons and pizzas were much cheaper 20 years ago. Besides there is the waste of time factor on doing something yourself. I got tired of cold sandwiches.

One of my friends used to take advantage of Domino's 30 minutes or its free offer since he lived exactly 32 minutes from their nearest store (they stopped this offer due to traffic safety concerns). He and his roommate knew there was no way that their pizza would ever arrive in time.

Issues that Geneforge raises in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Jeff does place some subtle remarks in the dialog. For instance in Rivergate Keep when you first meet the Shaper, the living tool objects to its being misused. In Poryphra Ruins, Shaper Grim finds a way to rationalize working with independent creations during the war by how they will have to serve afterwards or be destroyed as rogue.

How much of the long debates will show up in Geneforge 5 will depend on the characters that appear for the different viewpoints.

Pizza helped get me through college. Especially on those nights when I didn't want to cook or go out because of the weather. Let the pizza delivery guy suffer through monsoon rains to bring me a meal :) . There was also a nice place a block away from the physics department in Tucson that gave me time to do homework while I waited for my order.

Purify enchanted shaped items? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

No. You can expect to use other tactics to deal with swarms. This is why infiltrators and those using battle magic excel as lone characters. Area effect spells can nail a swarm in one or two rounds. Mental magic with charm type spells can shift enough enemies to temporary allies to allow you to nail individuals.

Those long scripted fights like Moseh are ones where you can't just hack your way through. Eventually you reach the point where you have to be able to outlast them.

A new game is out, so Schrodinger is probably working on his latest walkthrough.

That's how this whole rebellion started. They got fed up with carrying stuff.

The walkthrough calls them rough crystals. They were cheap crystals that could be use to make swarm crystals or the guardian claymore.

That's our idea of small. Unless you get a personal pizza that's 9 inches (about 22.5 centimeters).

Deep dish pizza can be thick (3 or more centimeters depending on the definition). I like a friend's description of a pizza as just one slice too big to be eaten in a sitting by a single person.

Wander around the mansion until you see him. Sometimes it's the garden and there isn't anything to do. When he stands next to a pillar in the southeast part then search that pillar for a nifty item.

One summer I came back to college and at the lab the joke was the grad student that complained about all the computer games on the 80286 clone had spent his summer playing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and filled up a half a meg of the hard drive with his many saved games. I never got past the beginning, alas.

The admins are busy doing bulk blocking of bots from posting. Take a few minutes to look at the profile of the new members and you can see why they don't post.

There are new members that join and lurk. Some might post a few times to get a game question answered and then are never seen again.

Back before Aran stopped posting the monthly list of our posting habits you could scroll to the bottom and see how many posted less than 5 times a month, Also there were the stats on new members and how many that joined actually posted.

Anyone find Avernum 4 not as good as 1-3? in Avernum 4

Avernum 4 had too much of a recycled plot from A3. The best addition was the Darkside Loyalists which become the major villians of A5. Jeff was mostly working on fixing the combat system which is better in A5 and he restores all those things that A4 lacks like elevations and boats.

I used to play Eamon and Adventure when I could get on a mainframe. I played the Ultima series for a while, but having to use DOS 1,0 for the first game was a bother.

It's nice to see someone else that played Wizardry on an Apple IIe although I used my roommate's II+. Welcome back and stay around.

Dunno. I stopped shaving over a month ago and my beard is pretty pitiful.

Some people are genetically unable to grow proper facial hair. Give it up before you go crazy trying to convince people this is what you were trying for.
