Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Don't know if everyone will like this idea, but, just thought, that maybe we needed somewhere on the forum where everyone could just talk about whatever with all of us, ask questions, leave Messages or whatever you like, whereever there is not a seperate listed topic. This would free up the Posts from clutter or whatever, Also don't forget the SE4 live chat room.

Just thought this might be different, well we'll see who all uses it if any, if no one likes the idea, oh well, I tried http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Mac, are you not simply trying to open a new cantina? after the Last one shuffled off this mortal coil and filed for Chapter 11?

Could be a good idea, cos Erax was Last seen in the ruins of the old cantina hiding. If no-ones tells him about this new place, we will never see him again!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Oh, nice place can I get a glass of Cabernet in here?
Salutations upon the solstice guys.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Gryphin, the cabernet sauvignon has been heated, infused with cloves, oranges, lemons etc and is rather nicely mulled - it gets right into the bloodstream!!

No eggnog here!!!

This is GT signing off for Christmas and the New Year. Have a great one everyone and all

ah, well you 2 old reprobates http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif , I'd knew you would show up eventually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif well this is for one and all and if Taz shows up, he can take his place behind the the bar, I havn't interviewed any FBW yet, hmmm, Do I have any takers for the job...

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

I dont think I have been in here since Cantina II, or maybe the opening couple Posts to Cantina III, but I just got back from having this really good, really smokey, sort of pete-moss flavoured 12 year scotch that started with an L, which I cant remember the full name of..

wait, what the hell is this topic about? Did I mention the suflet and the et-cetera. ah, the superb et-cetera. some of the best that i've had.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Puke, old chap, I believe the peaty tipple you were partaking was most likely "Lagavulin", a rather smokey choice drink. If what you were drinking had a bLast of the sea in it, then you were drinking "Laphroig" - my personal favourite.

Mac, the Mongols never got as far as Kiev. The valiant defence of Georgia and Kazar by the 5th and 6th Byzantine armies, gave time for the armoured legions of the "Army of the East" to jump across the black sea, and terminate with extreme prejudice. Glorious days, a glorious fight, and massively aided by that stupendous German crusade that for some reason turned up and got caught in the melee (why they were crusading that late in the game can only be a bug). Now for the Italians!!!

TerranC, stick to mulled wine, eggnog is for wimps and colonials

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Nice Bar & grill you opened here Mac, but where is the lounge? I'm partial to a nice soft comfy chair or sofa.

Speaking of SE4 live chat, I'll try to log in more hours in the #se4 room at usenet. I hope to catch you there.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Pooh Star might apply for a job as a FBW. What are the requierments?

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Gryphin, key attributes for a FBW (other than being a natural beauty) is a disinclination toward wearing clothes, and being awfully willing under pretty much any circumstance - oh, they have to be quite good at waitressing as well

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Can we have LeeLoo as the barmaid?

A most peculiar place... I wonder if I should really go to this Bar & Grill. *Shrugs*

Erh David? *Clears his throat* I give the thumbs up to your proposal. I heard LeeLoo was very skilled as a waitress and... No, really, there is no other reason and I am not partial to her beauty.

*Heads towards the most obscure corner of the room and starts watching the other patrons while taking a few notes for future blackmails* Who knows what might happen here?

I think Pooh Star qualifies. She is very pretty in a wonderfuly well rounded way.
I belive you have see this pic:

Gryphin, if Pooh Star wants to be a FBW and put up with us rammuffigans, so be it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif mac strolls over to his new cornor, orders his usual and waits for whatever, whomever, and starts going thru the FBW applications, hmmm, Pooh Star, LeeLoo, Kyle Clones, Liz Hurly Clones (of course), who else do we have here... ( however, hidden within the mass of papers are reviews on various new games to ponder the purchase over the holidays, anyone have any good suggestions? waiting for the new Rome Total War game and Gary Grigsby's War in the Pacific

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Laphroig, it was. A truely commendable little libation, too.

I see we have a fair number of Total War players here, can any of you good fellows recommend any mod's or add-ons?

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Puke, How do you get the pinging sound off and the regular sound effects into the game of Delvmod, tks

Mac

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

pinging sound? I generally play with the sound off, so im not sure what you mean.

if the mod had replaced the sound files, you could simply erase the 'sounds' directory from the mod. but i dont see a 'sounds' directory in my copy of the devnull mod, so that probably wont do it. i am guessing you are refering to weapons fire, which would require an edit of the components.txt to change each weapon to use the default sound.

if you are talking about button pushing sounds, and the like, then you must be using a Version with custom sounds, in which case you should be able to simply delete the 'sounds' directory as described.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Nope, Its a 2nd sound folder within the Mod itself that is causing the problem, I went back and found my question when we lst started and I answered my own question. For some reason when I've loaded the mod a 2nd sound folder shows up, don't know why, but as soon as I eliminate if from the Mod, all sound is back to normal.

Tks for answering, Have a brewski on me, "Taz old bean, set one up for the Puke on my tab http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Hi, mac

I didn't get any games for christmas but I did get three DVD's.. Pirates of the Caribbean, The Count of Monte Cristo and Robin Williams Live on Broadway.

My most recent games came on the January 2004 Computer Gaming World DVD. (5 free full Version games,.. Deus Ex, Warlords Battlecry, Thief 2: the metal age, and two others that escape me at the moment due to the fact that they will never be installed on my computer.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I bought myself some nice toys. A new Geforce 4 FX 5700 video card. A portable HD, and more ram.

Games:
Deus Ex Invisible Wars (Very good thus far)


I hope everyone had a great christmas. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Now on to the new year. Becareful with the fireworks ok. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

I myself did not get any new games. Waiting for Total War Rome, & Gary Grigsby's Pac War to come out, Did get some movies tho, Pirates of Carr the same as David, good movie, The New Xmen, Matrix, and Terminator movies, (oh yes, some clothes)

Happy New Year Mac

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

I got soy pasta!!!

and some other things...

But soy pasta! This is great! Pasta I can eat without dropping out of ketosis!

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Gryphin,

That statement is proof that you are as mad as a badger that accidentally reversed backwards onto a hedgehog after slipping down a muddy slope!

If the wife goes shopping in New York without me, the following consequences will occur:

1 I will not be there to vet what she spends, I dont really want to take a second mortgage following her excesses;

2 I will be in the doghouse for not being available to say "yes, dear, it looks lovely on you, cerise is really your colour and is oh so appropriate for aunt mabel's funeral";

3 she will come back with loads of crap we dont need, or more importantly, cannot fit in the house;

4 she will buy 200 pairs of expensive shoes;

5 she will get lost, and probably end up in Washington or somewhere; and

6 it will cost me too much to bail her out of prison for assaulting a police officer!

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

So in other words
You are whipped. It is ok, you can admitt it here./ We are all friends.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Gryppo, by whipped, I assume you mean that I am "under the thumb", in that I do everything my wife tells me. If you mean "whipped" in the more colloquial sense, then yes, but I have a special club for that which I go to on Saturday mornings.

Yes, I am under the thumb, but view it more as a necessary evil to protect our bank balances rather than any surrendering of free will to "she who must be obeyed".

I get out a lot though, normally when she is off riding fell beasts and terrorising hobbits

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Marriage is a tough job, the "Wife" does excert some control over the men of the house http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif there is an old saying, "can't live with them and can't live without them" a paradox within the confines of human living space. To say one is whipped, depends on the utilization of what is meant by whipped http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif or for that which is whipped, this terminology as used within the context of GT's and the Gryphin's roboust discussion opens up various interpetations of just what is meant by the term Whipped or what is being whipped. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif so therefore I must, in researching scientific subsideraries of this term as used among these two reprobates must inquire as to the term whipped or for that which is whipped in conjunction with Circle the Wagons or the Gryphin Position, or is this just a rendition of two scalywags jousting within the framework of science... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Take heart Gryph. GT is liable to make for New York and end up in Boston any way. They drive on the wrong side of the road and all over there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

You are all barking mad and weird to boot.

Gryphin, one day we will do Boston, but I have changed roles in my company so no longer have to travel inordinate distances.

I am going to Westport Conneticut (sic)in March to see a mate who has moved out there. Not sure we will be able to get up to Boston (wifey wants to shop in New York) so will see what will happen.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Then you fit right in Growltigga.

Let the wife go shopping in New York. You come to Boston.

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Geo, that is libel.

At least us Europeans can get to drive faster than 55 mph and not look horrified when the speedometer reaches 75 mph.

Every time I pick up members of the American clan from the airport, I love to speed a little bit just to see the looks of horror on their wittle faces!! hee hee hee

As to whether we drive on the right side of the road or not, of course it is the right side of the road you eejyut!

Mac, why is it that any time Gryph and I start a discussion, you immediately go off in a frenzy of sordid mucky thoughts about whether it has any dirty connotations!!

Geo, I will probably be using American public transport to get from Conneticut to New York. I will therefore get to New York unless the public transport system is that cock eyed!

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

"Can't live with them, can't live without them" eh? My wife said that women use "Can't live with them, and killing them is so expensive."

But I know my place...

Re: Forum Chat Bar & Grill
 

Gryphin, girls buying chaps presents (unless they are tasteful like Aston Martin DB7's or Porsches) is the first blow on a downward spiral.

The Witch Queen of Angmar (aka the current Mrs Growltigga) bought me a lovely fitted designer shirt for Christmas. It was very nice, but Shelob decided that actually, it would look much better if I lost some weight to really show it off.

THe result, she has put me on a major league diet for the New Year. She has also decided that I drink too much and therefore, giving that up for January (at the least she says) would help me lose weight. In addition, she decided that my smoking was a bad idea (which it is I grant you), and I therefore should give that up.

The net result is that I am on a heavy weight diet, am on the wagon (and stapled on so I cannot fall off it) and not smoking. I am currently experiencing mood swings ranging from suicidal to homocidal to hysterical, and am having cravings for really horrible things like pickled eggs (only way to get the taste of ryvita out of your mouth).

I also have to put up with a large poster of Aragorn on the fridge. I have been told that I cannot touch it upon pain of emasculation. And this from the fiend who tore down the poster of Giselle Bundchen I had in my den!!

'diet is just die with a 't' at the end' - Garfield. may not be exact.
