woah woah woah.. you have internet on the Train!? Is Netherlands from the future!?

(this will me more amusing for Australians. Apologies to .. everyone else)

Yep, but it almost never works. I've tried to reply to dd ten times to no avail. Going for eleven...
Sorry D, I cant seem to quote you.
Third time typing this post, I hate my phone. :p

I'm sure they will! And yes, I need a lot more stealth practice. :P we're going to see avengers: age of ultron. I've already seen it, but my sister hasn't yet.

Ooh, tasty cookies! *Quickly takes cookie and eats it*

How is your day?

Well good luck with your presentation and your paper.

That's a shame. What do you think is making you look at the game that way, especially as you spoke very highly of it? Is it just showing its age compared to the newer RPG games?

I am good, thank you. A little tired, and I have another long day, but can't complain. I am inside for the morning doing paperwork and making some phone calls, so at least I can chat on the forum for a while. :-)

I wish you look, brave warrior, with you battle against the forces of Chaos. :-)

Your weather sounds a bit like it is here, sunny, but with a very cold wind, and all wet from the nights rain.

I am so sorry to hear your wife received a rejection letter. I hope she will not let it get her down too much, and I will keep my fingers crossed that she will have much better luck with her future applications.

*big virtual hug for Tom's wife*

Not a fan of cookies? You Germans really are evil. :-)

Good luck with beating the chaos. I'm sorry to hear that your wife got a rejection...

Hey! *Hug* I'm trying but it's hard! And no, I'm super lucky in that I don't have classes on monday and friday with my current schedule. :)

We have internet on the trains here in England as well, we have done for some time, although the signal is not always the best once you get into the open countryside.

Now worries, I know how annoying the forum can be at times. I hope you enjoy your day with your sisters.

My day is good so far, just enjoying some relaxing time indoors doing paperwork before I am outside again, and knowing my luck it will start to rain just as I go out. :-)

I have to make a formal protest against this. I love cookies so Germans are not evil :P

Then good luck with the preparation for the presentation. :-)

How about just German men, or maybe just some Germans, or maybe it's just toxicTom who is evil? :-)

*passes Moon even more cookies*

Thank you :)

Uhm...objection...i mean OBJECTION...only one german here said that he doesn't like cookies - that don't make us all evil :P

Edit: Okay, you clarified it :).

Yeah more cookies! *thank you hug*
I think maybe Tom has the same strange virus as Hyper who does not like chocolate :D


Also *hugs for eveyone who came while I was busy*

It's just a lot more of a slog all the way around than the last time I played it.
Ultimately it's an action RPG, but the action is very slow-paced. Between hours of inventory management, melee enemies being able to beat me silly despite having the best armor in the game, magical enemies who send me back to the load screen every time they kill one of my team members in a way that I can't resurrect them, and a general lack of story that makes me think the combat/story balance is even further askew than I remember, it's beginning to get on my nerves a bit.

I know you're not a fan of being indoors constantly, but it sounds like a good, if temporary, change of pace in light of the crazy long hours you've been working recently.

Okay, I get it, only the cookie hating Germans are evil. :-)

*Big return hug*

So does that make Tom and Hyper evil, or just weird? :-)

Since they are both very nice persons, I would say they are just weird :P

So it looks like the newer RPGs have changed your taste for action RPGs and made you see the bad elements of Icewind. Would you still recommend the game, or would you now perhaps advice people to start with another game if they wanted to enter the world of Balders Gate type RPGs?

Being indoors is quite nice, as it's very cold outside, but I do get tired of it and long to be working with my hands outside again. Plus I am having to sort some tax stuff and the people on the phone are never that helpful.

Are you looking forward to the weekend promo?

I don't know, Hyper can be quite mean. :-)
