CarrionCrow: And now I feel the need to watch Rocky Horror again. And I don't even like musicals.

Soccorro: Aw come on! The rocky horror picture show is classic! :D
I agree. If it wasn't, I wouldn't want to watch it at all since I usually don't like musicals. -laughs-

D:OS install creeping along, be interesting to see if this machine can run it.
Otherwise out comes the laptop, which is probably a better option anyway.

ZenWan: You're right, it's a very beautiful country, although the heat does get to me in the summer, particularly because it's a Mediterranean climate, which means no summer rainfall. And month after month of baking heat with no rain becomes unbearable after a while. I long for the huge summer storms of Africa, where the heat builds up and builds up until - with a huge clap of thunder and flashes of lightning - the rain explodes out of the sky like a waterfall. And afterwards the earth sings, and all is clean and fresh.
Do you write? If not you should give it a try, because I think you might be good at it ;)

ZenWan: They do indeed have wood-fired ovens all over Spain and Portugal, and the bread they make in them is out-of-this-world. I am often stunned to see locals filling their supermarket trolleys with plastic-wrapped, mass-produced, pre-sliced, soggy cotton-wool stuff called 'bread', when you can wander around to the nearest bakery and buy a little bit of heaven. :-)
But they don't much use the ovens for pizzas, and most of the pizzas I've had here have been the deep-dish type, which I loathe. There are a few reasonable pizza places around, but very few. I love Italian food, and there are a lot of 'Italian' restaurants here, but they seem to specialise in the kind of food that package tourists like. Few of them are authentic at all.
I don't mind deep dish, but I do prefer thin crust. Yeah, Italian restaurants are like that here too, but we just tend to make our own :)
I had some of the nicest bread I've ever tasted when I was in Spain, but it was when we took the boat over to Tangier. Don't know if it was wood fired or not, but I think it had polenta / corn meal in it. I just remember eating about 3 baskets between my mother, brother and I.
I'm not a fan of sliced loaves at all, I don't have the time to bake bread as much as I'd like so we tend to buy from the local bakery or the bakers bread from the supermarket (which isn't great, but still better than most packaged sliced stuff)

ZenWan: Fortunately the simple local Portuguese food is always good - grilled fish or chicken with fries and salad and great bread, not to mention great wine. And my favourite is chicken piri-piri, chicken with hot sauce - if they know you, they'll make the sauce extra hot - yum!
Hmmmm I'm getting hungry!
I've had piri piri chicken, but only from Nandos... Not sure if you get them there? Yours sounds much better :)

Okay, trying this again since GOG ate my post.

The install is very long with Pillars as well.
Initial good news - Made it to character select with no problem. Fingers crossed that it stays that way.

And now, to figure out what kind of character to actually make.

Yeah. It took ages for me as well. Atleast on Windows. The linux version took it's time during the extraction of the tar.gz archive...

I still didn't play much of it but i really liked the character creation.

Okay...given that this is my first run, I'm going with what I know, and doing an adaptation of my Icewind Dale wizard.

My first choice was to make Deathsplooge the misguided and quite probably insane paladin, but I think I'll save that for my second run.

Let me know when you'd like a huge money tip (told to me by my dad, who has been playing the game since it came out.) ;D

Thank you, I appreciate the offer. =)

Figure I'll do like I do in every other RPG - swipe everything that isn't nailed down, sell off what I can't use to make my crew stronger, get some levels, get access to better stuff, repeat until rich.

D:OS runs on this machine, a bit sluggish but playable, I'm impressed.
Should play great on the laptop and I can share my saves.
I'm a happy man! :-)
Thanks Crow.

Good. =)
I won't be too far behind, odds are that'll be my next large purchase, whenever it's doable.
You're very welcome, I'm glad you were able to get things worked out so you could get it loaded up sooner rather than later.
