Core21, SOUND, (Future): Make all music/sounds optional, in groups. More songs (possibly seasonal), incidental music (like spotting the first kobold in a cave, etc.), various combat type sounds and ambient sounds, pleasing interface clicks.
Musical Instruments: Perhaps in certain contexts the player might play notes on an instrument. These could be played through the speakers for added effect... will have to look into it.

Truly Mediterranean in SF has an excellent Shawerma. That is as close as I have come.
And for the record, a kebab shop opened up near my house 6 months ago and it's nothing but bliss.

No it is not. Alas, the number of times I've done that.

Damn you both to hell. It's been FIVE YEARS since I've had one. I have to make do with gyros from second generation greek immigrants...which is about as close as potato chips are to tacos.
I suppose that might be a bit harder in an apartment complex, but Mrs. Taylor really didn't need that daisy flowerbox anyways.
Good/Bad thoughts depending upon performance quality (modified by skill and item quality).
Someone did mention random music in a recent thread. (I think the one Capn linked)
Kagus - not quite the same thing. We made shish kebabs on the grill last week. What I'm/We're talking about is: this, which I think is best served like this. Except get rid of the tomato, and make the cabbage red.
I got addicted to those when I was studying in Mainz.

This forum is overflowing with new threads, drowning all suggestions, good and bad. Therefore, it is for your benefit as well to locate and reuse the already existing threads since it makes your ideas more likely to survive. Also, notice the rules stated in no uncertain terms above the thread list.
Also, continue and building on existing discussion is better for ensuring conceptual quality than constantly restarting new ones.

Ahhh, okay. Yeah, that'd be slightly different.
I'm sure you could just google for restaurants that serve them. Hell, there's probably a discussion forum centered around good places to get it. I mean, if there's a photograph archive of moist towelettes, there's gotta be a kebab forum.

It seems that we use the word "kebab" differently in different regions of the world. In Europe, a kebab is a plate of grilled meat shavings usually served with chips/fries (a shish kebab or just "kebab") or in bread (döner kebab). The original (turkish?) meaning of shish kebab, though, simply means "grilled lamb", and that is probably how you use the word.
I thought I'd read somewhere that "shish" meant "sheep" in Persian, but Someone else said that it meant something different (something which I currently do not remember). Considering that someone else is Persian, his opinion in such matters has a bit of weight.
Of course, I've never actually had it with sheep. Normally we make it up as a combo of mushrooms, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes (which I pick off, since I do not and never have cared for tomatoes), and sometimes tuna.

Hijacking and derailing this thread completely, that sounds utterly horrible to us Europeans! Well, ok, we do have some salad on the plate, and you can compose that anyway you wish, but to image we get is shaved beef strips mixed with tuna and paprikas!
The conventional way to serve it in Scandinavia is a pile if beef shavings drenched in a "white sause" (crème fraische and herbs), a garlic sause, or a hot tomato sauce ("red sauce"), or a highly sophisticated slop'em-on mixture of all three. Chips to the side, those too drenched in sauce optional but recommended. Salad on the side, generally left on the plate or eaten by those who wand to trick themselves into having had some kind of nutritionally correct intake.

Horrible things aren't they?

Mind you, store-bought tomatoes tend to be hideous little things, since they're chosen for durability and color, not flavor. But a good fresh tomato is a wonderful thing.
