I mostly frequent the gaming sections. Had to log off now since my connection is terrible at the moment.

| |  Not at all. I just did some math, and I am looking into a job change. I need to cut things out of my budget, and well, alcohol needs to go until I get a raise, unfortunately. It's my last resort for when I cannot sleep, so that could cause problems with my insomnia.

I hope it stays that way because at times, GB's front page can't even load properly and trying to post a reply is quite of a hassel at times.

| | Morning All,
@mr_snow,
I really don't hate NWN, was just disappointed. Given its more recent release than most of the older CRPGs I play, I guess I was expecting the graphics to be a lot better than they were. Also dislike only having one "henchman" and not being able to give them things to help improve them.
@Des, Athena,
At home the best I can do is "dial up".
Although only 20 miles outside a big city we do not even have DSL 
*Shakes head, looks back at ragged cleric. Sorry, I was keeping track of one of those gulls. It looked like it was going to land on the rafter above our heads. Hate finding surprises in my backpack. I scared it away though. Sorry fair Wench, if you have a ladder, I'll remove that arrow from the rafter. How about another round for the cleric and myself, if you would please? Looking at lampshade warrior/handler asks "Are you a monk, or did last night prove to be a bit too much fun?"  Although a monk would be helpful, we really need a mage too.*

What I do know is that the connection in the US is much faster than where I come from. Anyway, my ISP is doing some maintenance to the server, causing the connection to slow down at times. Now, it seems like everything is back to normal for now but the slowdown might occur at anytime.

| | Afternoon Des,
From your location "frontlines" and Quote: |
"I live half a world away from the US"
| I take it you are possibly "in country" in the "sandbox"?

| | | * Accepts the drink from Philos and drains it in one gulp. Appears to brighten considerably. Turns to Mah. *
Keep your, ahh, hat on. Are you also skilled in the magic arts?
@Philos, Any reduction in the winged vermin around here is a small step in the right direction. * Whispered * Lets play along with the cone head. I think I spy a fat purse.
@Gwali, Real life birds? It's so hard to tell now... - Curdis ! |

Ah, my bad. Guess I read too much between the lines.
Smoke grenades and suppressive cover fire always worked well for me.
@Curdis
*Noticing improved demeanor of ragged cleric, "Well, let's hope Mah is a mage or another walks in soon. Still wonder about that mystic thief, hmm?"

| | | Ah, Good Philos, it would appear that we have tarried after the bar has in fact closed. Maybe we should check the till?
* Wanders over to see if the till is full or not * - Curdis ! |
