Arch-Mage Solberg

I also enjoyed playing through A5. Of course I have pretty much enjoyed all of Jeff's games (except Geneforge's 2-5, and Nethergate: Resurrection only because I haven't played them yet!). You'll hear a few remarks about storylines and graphics or what-not, but overall I believe that all of Jeff's games are worth playing.

Really makes hoarding stuff easy huh? I like to hoard stuff on these games. It's hard early on when you really need the cash, but if you persevere, you'll end up with a nice haul! Post #619

So that's it Aran? It's just gone? That stinks, I was really hoping to some archive that might have the missing posts. Oh well, I got most of them! Thanks anyway Lilith and Aran. Post #617

Wasn't there a purge in 2009? Post #616

I'm trying to make a list of my posts here on the Spiderweb Forums. I know that it sounds stupid but it's something that I'm doing. I'm missing a lot from 2004 and earlier and a fair few from 2008 through early 2010. I mainly started keeping the list on August 24, 2010 with my 417th post. I just grew from there. I've already checked the pied-piper site and found around 70 posts. My main question is, Is there another site that may have the posts I'm looking for? Post #615

Birdie, birdie in the sky...why did you do that in my eye? Post #614

I've always played the games on PC since 1998. Post #613

A man is stuck inside a metal room. The door was locked and there wasn't a handle. There are also no winsows. The following items were inside the room: piano, table, saw,and bat. There are 3 ways he could've got out, do you know? <span style="font-size: 20pt">Your so poor...</span> I walked in your front door and fell out the back. I walked in your house and stepped on a roach and got yelled at for killing the family pet. I walked in your house and stepped on a lit cigarette and your dad asked who turned off the heat. You can't even pay attention. Starving people in third world countries are sending you money and food. <span style="font-size: 20pt">Your Mommas so fat...</span> That she got mistaken for a taxi because of her yellow suit. She jumped in the air and got stuck. She sat on a rainbow and made Skittles. She uses a hula-hoop as a belt. Post #612 <img src="graemlins/cool.gif" alt="cool" title="cool" height="15" width="15" />

A few scenes from Monty Python's The Holy Grail. 1. "Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?" 2. "Who's castle is that?" 3. "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries." 4. "There are some who call me...Tim?." Let's see if you can guess what movies these other quotes from scenes came from. ["The kid's a punk, he don't even speak good English!" "He doesn't even speak good English "] ["Do you see the tourists with their video cameras, hoping the cops will shoot you so they can sell the tape to Goriest Police Shoot-outs?"] ["I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them."] Post #611

I'd have to say that my all-time favorite movie is Monty Python's The Holy Grail. The following list is a few of my other favorite movies in no particular order. True Grit (The original John Wayne version) The Shootist The Goonies Back to the Future I It's A Wonderful Life Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II Escape From New York Phone Booth 12 Angry Men (1997) Superman I And many others I don't have time to mention.

Speaking of the Encyclopedia...how are the bots getting through the changes Aran made? Post #609 :Edit: Nevermind. There's no new bots. I didn't properly look at the date on the recent changes.

Tomorrow we observe the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. It's kind of hard to believe that it's been 10 years. So much has happened. I remember that day vividly. I was six months in the Navy and stationed in Norfolk, VA on my last days there before I took a plane to Groton, CT. I was on barracks cleaning detail and I was outside smoking a cigarrete. All of the sudden the First Sergeant (I can't remember his name) came out and told me and two other guys smoking to come in to the REC room. When I asked him why he told me that a plane had just hit one of the World Trade Center towers. I and the two other guys went to the room and found it packed with other guys watching the news. We were watching and discussing what we were seeing. I was about to leave the room and use the payphones outside the door (to call my parents to see if they were watching the news) when one of the guys hollered out "Is that another plane?". I turned back towards the TV in time to see the plane make its final turn into the other tower and hit it. That's when pandemonium hit the room big time. Earlier we were discussing accidents of planes hitting buildings, but what we (and everyone else watching) saw was a deliberate turning to hit the tower. Now we were discussing terrorism. Oddly enough, the first name to pop up was Osama Bin Laden. He had killed 17 sailors on the USS Cole not even a year earlier. I then made my call to my parents. They had been watching the news and saw everything that I did. I told them that I loved them and that I would talk to them later. When I got back in the room, the newscasters were just then talking about another plane hitting the Pentagon. A few of us started discussing other possible targets that the planes might hit. They seemed to hit tall buildings and important military centers. We mentioned places like the White House, Sears Tower, Statue of Liberty, the San Francisco Bridge, and a few others. Luckily, none of those or any other buildings were hit. Later, they mentioned another plane that the passengers struggled with the hijackers. The plane crashed somewhere in southern PA. I (like many other people) was glued to the TV for the next few days. HONOR THE FALLEN 3,056! Post #608

I always liked the newer way of storage. In the three Exiles, you had specified places to store your stuff and absolutely no where else. It made dungeon cleaning hectic trying to load up as much barterable stuff as you could carry and sell it to the closest seller. Now you can come and go as you please. The stuff doesn't go anywhere. You can take what you want to take and maybe get the rest of it later if you feel like it. It was more realistic. Unless you just drop your stuff all over town, that's not too realistic that your stuff just sits in the middle of town and no one touches it, but you get my point. Post #605

Or yoy could be like me and didn't lose their sanity until after they've been here for a few years! Post #604

Originally Posted By: Lilith Can you describe how "the screen messes up"? Have you tried updating the drivers for your video card? Well, Lilith the screen sort of shifts. Part of the left side of the screen ends up on the right side. For example: the screen how it looks now is like a row of numbers; 123456789. The screen when it shifts looks like this; 456789123. It's hard for me to explain but that's about the best that I can do. Originally Posted By: HOUSE of S Also, more information about your laptop would hlep. You have literally told us nothing: not even the platform you are using! Sorry about that Slarty. Having never had a problem before with the games until I got my new laptop I missed discussing the main detail. My computer is a Compaq Presario CQ57-229WM Notebook. The operating system is Windows 7. It uses AMD Radeon HD 6250 Graphics. I hope that this answers your question. Originally Posted By: Malical Quick question: You are rebooting the entire computer right, not just the game? The entire computer is rebooted. Originally Posted By: Tyranicus Since it worked fine the first few times, it's possible something in the game was corrupted. I would try uninstalling and reinstalling. I have thought of that and tried it out. It kept messing up. *UPDATE* I didn't try this until earlier this afternoon, but I started messing around with the compatability options from the properties menu. I've got it set to Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and to run in 640 x 480 resolution. I played through once for about three hours without incident. I'll let y'all know if it doesn't work out. Thank y'all for your help on this little problem of mine. Post #603

I reinstalled Nethergate onto my laptop. The first few times I played it and everything was fine. Now the screen messes up and the only way that I can fix it is by rebooting. Please tell me that there's a fix for this (besides buying Nethergate:Resurrection, which I hope to do anyway within a few months). Post #602

If I had to guess, I believe that she teaches it again in A2. Post # 601

Maybe next year I might make my first scenario! Post # 600 Wow...nearly 10 years on these boards and I just hit 600 posts. Not a big achievement when you see the Top Posters board on the right, huh! Edit: Hey look...new title. From Sorceress to Shadowwalker.

For years while in school I was bullied and made fun of. My family was dirt poor and I was (and still am) ugly. When I was in school I was smaller than the other boys and they would gang up on me. While at school, I was 5'6" and 155 lbs. Now I'm 5'11" and 215 lbs. I'm not as easily pushed around as before. I don't like bullies and would never do that to someone else. But if someone gets in my face and wants a fight, I'll make sure they pay. Post #598

I'm just gonna say that I hoard gems, alchemy ingredients, ore, and special and/or unique items. I really don't know why...I just do it. (NIKE) Post #597
