AgentBirdnest: Jealous? ;-)
We call that one the "heart exploder"
Erm…. nope. I am still having some problems keeping food down as it is, and that would definitely not help. :-)

toxicTom: The original German on-disk release had a little in-game concert of In Extremo, which was one of the Wow!-moments for me back in the day.

Unfortunately the international and digital (even the German) releases lack the concert - for licensing reasons. There's a little patch that re-enables the band playing in those releases. I have it somewhere at home, if you want it, otherwise Google is your friend.

Problem with the patch is that it makes all texts in the game English (which probably doesn't concern you).

Also there are a couple of fixes/hacks/mods that allow for higher resolutions and view distance. Not really necessary, I use them since I've already completed the game (twice) and just wanted to look what is possible.
Was it removed due to the music? I wonder why they just didn't change the music to something else?

I don't really mind the textures. I have no problem with older graphics on an older game. Newer games with lazy "retro" graphics on the other hand I am not a fan of. Some are good, most are just lazy developers. And I have nothing to compare the view distance with so I am okay with it as it is. There was one setting I was unsure off, but I can't remember what it was now. I will have to have a look next time I boot up Window.

AgentBirdnest: I've been working on some more construction paper art B-| ... and trying to write a little, but I'm not good at it. Tant pis...
Sounds like an awesome weekend! Glad it was so great :-) Did you find anything cool at the sale?

(Oh, sorry... I was just excited to see you :"( ... I'll tone it down a little next time.)
Ho nice :D will you show us your work ? or is it a surprise ?
I can't say if you're good at writing, I didn't read your "prose" :)
Eeer... I bought a wood "fishing" puzzle for the owlets... it's funny, the pieces have little magnets in the middle, so you can catch them with a fishing rod. Other than that, nothing... we bought food :D

ddickinson: And how is your Monday so far, still going well I hope?
Yes it is, thank you :-)

LaPtiteBete: And yesterday, we went a few hours on the big LILLE's garage sale...
avatar
ddickinson: That sounds like a person. Does she know you call her Big Lille behind her back? :-)

Good afternoon, Owl! *big afternoon hug*
LOL !!! ,',,',',,',' :-\ ho no, don't tell her, please !!
We already call its mayoress "Tartine au brie" (which means a slice of bread with some french cheese on the top), instead of "Martine Aubry"... :-\ ahem...
How are you, wonder-DD !!
**Big happy hug with some more nice tea**

ddickinson: Was it removed due to the music? I wonder why they just didn't change the music to something else?
Not just the music, there's a stage with the band (well, in the style of the Gothic NPCs) actually playing. So they couldn't just change the music.

Soccorro: Still haven't gotten my copy of Mobile forces back... I might not have any evidence that i bought it but why would i lie? I have bought so many games on gog, that i probably funded an office whirlpool all by myself!

I'm so disappointed of you GOG!!!

And hi everyone! how are you doing? I'm pissed!!!!!!
Hi Socco !!! :D (lol at your silly avatar !)
I'm sorry about your issues with GOG, on the other hand... :-|

I guess I'll show you sometime, if I complete it. I didn't have the motivation last night =__o ... maybe I'll do more tonight.
As for the writing... so far it is like an instruction manual for being a boring assh*le... It is terrible!! :-p ... I'm having some fun though, and that was my main point for giving it a try.
Hey, that sounds like fun! (Mormons do that magnetic fishing stuff all the time! Never wood though... It was always paper fish :-p) Do the owlets enjoy it?
avatar
AgentBirdnest: Yep... We even make our dishes out of food n__o
That is absolutely disgusting... +__+ **pouarkh**
The forum seems to be breaking for me at the moment, so I can't reply.

Owl:
Hello, Owl! I am good, thank you. I replied to your chat a little while ago telling you how I am. It's nice to hear you had a lovely weekend. Let's hope your week will be nice as well. *hugs*

ToxicTom:
Was it the band that disallowed the use in the digital version of the game?

I do not think I will be up to playing Gothic too much at the moment, but I will try to play a bit now and then. The controls were/are a little hard to get used to, but that is often the case with older games.

Aloha all, sorry to hear so many aren't feeling well today. I'll have to add myself to that list, I feel pretty horrible too.
Glad to hear most of you are doing well.

We are a little over 400 posts away from 64k, this forum software isn't very feature filled but if it can do that it certainly is fairly robust. :-)

ddickinson: *big super mega comforting hug*

I am very sorry to hear you are not having the best of days. If you ever need someone to talk to or vent to, you know where my chat is.
*Super big enormous huge thank you hug* Things will be all right in the end but it's a little tiresome right now. Thank you for the offer, and you're always welcome to send me a message if you feel like talking as well. *Hug*

Can I convince you to take part in the National Novel Writing Month this November? ;)

The original publisher was JoWood, and those people weren't very competent in many ways. They failed to secure distribution rights for the music for all but Germany and for digital distribution. I don't think the band is to blame. If asked nicely they would probably allow the continued use of the concert scene, but then there's the label (Universal Music?) and those people also have a say.

The paging and "jump to quote" and "jump to answer" are sometimes off.

Cool !! Your previous works were so amazing... I can't wait to see the next one :)
I want to be a boring assh*le too ; where can I find your guide ? ;D
Writing is a funny and great hobby, it gets your mind off things pretty efficiently ; what you write doesn't need to be interesting, unless you want to be rich and famous from your writings :)
Yes, the owlets love the fishing puzzle... the little one almost flip everything because she didn't manage to catch fishes (\o/ lol... Angry Viking Owlet mode !!!)... but after we showed her how to do it properly she had tons of fun :)

Good morning... and sorry to hear that... I hope things will improve quickly.

What might happen at 64k? ô__ô Apocalypse? Or will the thread stop working? (I don't know which would be worse! :-))
