Tarm: Darn! It's hard here on GOG. Most actives seem to be middle age or have a family already. Buncha game and booze traitors is what they are...

Got any available nice sisters?
Damn I'm getting desperate. Even though I'm fairly good looking, longhairy and beardy though and have a job. MORE WINE!

awalterj: OK I've analyzed what the problem is: you live in a modernized country. If you move to Kyrgyzstan, all you have to do is locate a nice young lady and then you can kidnap her to your lair. It's a tradition there and her relatives won't mind - in fact, they'll most likely tell you where and when to put the hit on your target you as long as they are invited to the wedding.
On the other hand, I don't know if you can purchase GOG games from Kyrgyzstan and I'm also not sure about the availability of good kirsch in these parts of the world.
If they have good beer there It's worthy of some thought. ;)
I'm not yet, but I'm prepared for the evening: beer, cigarettes, Banished, Mount & Blade Warband, and music (Amon Amarth, Satyricon, Overkill, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, TYR). Let the mind-blasting commence!

Excellent choices, but isn't all that a bit much for a Wednesday? With that list you'll never survive to make it to the weekend.

I work Saturday through Wednesday, so tonight is the start of my "weekend". :-)
Try the Banished drinking game. Every time your citizens burn through an entire stock of iron tools and demand another blacksmith, take a drink. Every time the trade harbor guy offers walnut seeds for the 300th time in a row, take a drink, and every time your crops are hit by disease and wiped out, take a drink.

You'll never make it to 200 citizens before passing out.

That works with Baldur's Gate, too. Whenever Jaheira bitches about something: drink. "You must gather your party before venturing forth.": drink.

Indeed. RPG drinking games are probably the most dangerous of them all. Many a liver transplant was begun under the pretense of the endless goblin spawn drink. From the power of thy chalice I shall smite thee!

Oh, god, are you kidding? With the pathing problems in vanilla BG you'd die of alcohol poisoning just after getting out of the Keep.
Are any of you guys very keen on beer?
I just poured myself a pint of Schneider Weisse Hopfenweisse.
It poured beautifully, didn't froth too much and had a wonderful golden colour, but at the end I let it trickle straight down into the glass, and as the last drops hit, they coagulated in the beer!
I could see a reaction going all through the rest of the glass, becoming murky and even tiny white specks forming.
Anyone know what the hell happened? I've never seen this before.
Sure, there's some residue at the bottom of the bottle sometimes, but it never makes the whole pint slowly become murky.

Anyway, it smells and tastes fine, so I'm sure as hell gonna drink it :p

Wheat has proteins in it that cloud a beer (most wheat beers have a haze to them, ranging from slight to a full on cloud of flecks!) and a bottle conditioned beer will have a yeast "sludge" build-up at the bottom of it, particularly if it's a bit older. If I want a perfectly clear beer (or at least as clear as the wit, weisse or hefe can be), I'll leave the last inch or so of beer in the glass. Because that really yeasty last inch can impart different flavors, I'll actually pour it into my glass when I'm near the end of the beer just to get a sense of how much character the yeast can contribute. And, they're laden with B vitamens which are 1) good for you and 2) can keep you from feeling the effects of *ahem* overimbibing (when I'm home I do admit to occasionally being curious what my favorite IPA of the moment tastes like after having a big bold beer - the next morning I'm always glad when one or both were bottle conditioned!).

The other alternative is that sometimes the bugs in a soured weisse or any soured beer (I've not had this beer - so I don't know if it is or isn't a Berliner weisse) don't get along or it hasn't aged properly / long enough - so the beer will be "sick" - it'll have long mucus like strands in it - but it doesn't sound like this is what's going on with yours.

Ixamyakxim: --snip--
Dang man, you couldn't have made it clearer(heh)!
It's definitely those white specks, not long mucus strands.
It was a bit weird though, this one was crystal clear until the last few drops hit.
I've had some hefe weisse beers before, but they seemed murky from the moment I started pouring. I've even had this same beer before, but maybe I wasn't paying any attention last time I poured.

Anyway thanks, you explained it perfectly.
I'll enjoy the rest of the beer without any worries :)
Hey glad I could help and glad you still enjoyed the beer because none of the things I described would ruin a beer (even a "sick" beer is perfectly fine to drink if you can get by the whole "mucus in my beer" bit ;) ). And it's totally possible that the last time you had the beer it didn't look as cloudy and yeasty - everything from how old the beer may have been to the temperature it was stored and served at could change how it looked (especially with a wheat beer) - believe it or not what you observed was probably something called "chill haze," just to give an idea of how one small thing can change how that wonderful beverage in your glass can look!
Can I join the party or is it too late? Or too early? I don't even know where you guys live. o_O
Zivili!
