I know how much we love to try and be grammatically correct as possible around here, but grammar nazi on dead languages? I'm not sure whether or not to be amused.

This may be a common thing for people from my state since we don't use it, but I can't stand it.

ALthough there were a few ancient cultures that knew the Earth was round, there were some cultures that thought the Earth was flat until the Rennaissance.

There has been instances when simple science has changed peoples ideology, and thus changed their course through history. For example, early observational astronomy not only proved that the known universe didn't orbit Earth, but that the Earth was round. That combined with it being able to be used as a form of navigation, from what I've noticed, helped spark an age of exploration.

But what about the English language? Does someone that studies English and/or its literature help change or shape it? Or is that burden mostly on those who compose literature? Is it a combination of both?

I hear it day in day out. You don't notice after a while.

I'd start with Avernum 1 and 2. Anyone who says to not play them or complains because of the graphics is insane.

Apparently Sylae and those other weird montanians dipped their fries in their shakes, combining the two. I personally think they're nuts

Chips and ice cream are the bomb. Chips and chocolate sundaes isn't too bad on occaison

I quite liked towns, I found they were useful, and memorable if there were interesting characters. The most memorable for me though was clearing out dungeons in E3 to the point when there were no more monster spawns. Then I got a whole entire dungeon to myself, and it was mine.

When I was young I thought that cheese was a vegetable. Since little me knew that milk came from cows, I assumed that fruit juice came from horses.

tried compability modes? also you need DirectX9.0c installed.

 

I wouldn't be surprised that Geneforge 1,2, and 3 start having trouble with Windows systems since Microsoft is reducing backwards compatibility.

What gets me about that theory is, although the universe is expanding, why should matter be expanding as well?

The USSR had the one evil as a government. The US still only has 2 evils to choose between. Both seem a bit meh to me.

Funny that you mention that quote. I was thinking of it this entire topic. I wasn't expecting someone to beat me to it.

I've also been unable to use several links as well as the other problems been stated already. I also had troubling trying to reply to this topic on top of that. I'm using IE on Windows if that helps.

It's been happening o me for a few days as well. I thought it was just the computer I was using.

I know it's a bit late, but what about Machiavelli?

Although this sounds interesting, it will be hard to know my schedule until Monday AEST. Until then I can't say what I can and can't dedicate to.

The Hobbit is the only movie that I'm aware of that came out this year, and since I enjoyed the first, I'm keen on seeing the second

No, I said and meant Avernum 1.

I'm very sure. I can remember playing Exile from a copy of MacFormat from 94 or 95 that had the Beethoven Midi. Then I noticed it wasn't there when it got upgraded with the E3 graphics

Edit: If I remember right, I was disappointed with 2.0 because it didn't have music

The version of E1 I had had music, and it was before the E3 release.

Exile 1 originally had Beethoven as music. I've also played a couple other RPGs where Beethoven and Mozart were also played. I found this very fitting.

Grammatical pedantry would be nightmarish as soon as the Grammar Nazi's get themselves involved.

Autocorrect drives me nuts. I turn it off when possible.

Geneforge 1 graphics to me look a tad more antiquated then Avernum 1 graphics.
