Topics I've Started

You knew you had been playing games too much...

19 May 2008 - 06:35 AM

I'm sure at least some of you did something game-influenced after some very intense playing, that made you question your sanity. It happens to me quite often, especially early in the morning or late at night when I'm tired and my brain doesn't work properly.

When I was playing Planescape: Torment a lot, I once saw a girl wearing an earring similiar to those worn by thugs in Hive, my main source of income at the beginning of the game. So, my first subconcious (I swear it!) thought was: "Hey, here comes my 30 copper!"

Around 3 am, when I was going to the toilet, barely seeing anything, I was having troble opening the door, as I was trying to do so by pointing an imaginary cursor on it.

I have to write an essay about something connected with human rights. In this thread: http://www.shsforums...topic=33705&hl= I've read Nix's post: "But, Cowled Wizards don't have jurisdiction over cleric spells! I smell the potential for a lawsuit." and for a moment there I thought: "that would be a good topic!"

I used to play Settlers II a lot. Nothing was the same then - when I saw people repairing or bulding something, they weren't normal people to my eyes. They were pixelated people from Settlers.

I hope I'm not the only one who can recall such stories or I'll have to consider a proffesional help  <_<

How to resize a custom potrait?

16 May 2008 - 01:29 PM

I've been using custom portraits for my PC recently. It looks well in its bigger version, but I can't seem to make it right with a small one. I resize it in paint and change it to 256 colors palette, but the effect is far from satisfactinary. I know it's supposed to be 8-bit, but Photoshop doesn't even allow it. Or maybe (propably) I'm just doing something wrong. So I'd appreciate some suggestions :)

Xzar's quest

27 April 2008 - 03:30 PM

I never really liked Xzar's quest in BGII, or rather its outcome. While looking for mods that would offer me some alternatives, I found even more than one, so which one would you recommend?
Of course, I'm looking for a solution which doesn't get Xzar killed or at least allows you to seek revenge on Harpers for using you ;)
