Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The reason the Windows game is coming out so late is because we have to choose to release date in consultation with the 3rd parties that will be distributing it.

It's the same game, more or less, but all the text is removed in favor of spoken narration and dialogue. Sadly, its poor sound quality and laughable voice-acting lead to poor sales, earning it the nickname Avernum: Escape From the Hit. —Alorael, who recommends against Avernum: Escape From the Quit.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slarti Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Actually, no: Originally Posted By: Wikipedia The terms "id", "ego", and "super-ego" are not Freud's own. They are latinisations by his translator James Strachey. Freud himself wrote of "das Es," "das Ich," and "das Über-Ich"—respectively, "the It", "the I", and the "Over-I" (or "I above"); thus to the German reader, Freud's original terms are more or less self-explanatory. Freud borrowed the term "das Es" from Georg Groddeck, a German physician to whose unconventional ideas Freud was much attracted (Groddeck's translators render the term in English as "the It").[33] The word ego is taken directly from Latin, where it is the nominative of the first person singular personal pronoun and is translated as "I myself" to express emphasis.

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 @Slarty: interesting. I did not know that. I made the joke because I knew that "id" was Latin for "it" (e.g. id est) but I hadn't realized that Freud wasn't the one who latinized the terms.
