I know frak-all about my family's history. We used to live in Oklahoma before the Dust Bowl, then moved west. That's all I know for sure. I've heard stories about French nobility, Wild West outlaws, and Viking explorers (Erik the Red, if I remember correctly), but I have no way of knowing if any of it is true. It doesn't help that my last name is incredibly common, and thus a simple Google search is useless.

Right, had my man in Dwilight hang himself because of his ludicrous name. Oh well.

o_O

What was his name? Also, Terran-Dwilight is recruiting... ;)
Your Justice-person is evil :<
Nah, he just deleted his own character because his name (Mehga Man) was kinda against the roleplay atmosphere. No justice involved.

+1 vote for actual dwarf names, not forum names.  Just crack open the language file and there you have a valid list of names!
+2. Use people's usernames, and you're just begging for someone to say "I didn't give you permission to use my name!" and getting the list pulled (or at least raising a fuss). Use the various language files.

For titles, I'm thinking
Civilian Administrators = Mayors
Scientists = Moody/Legendary Dwarves
Ground Combat Ranks = Peasant, Wrestler, Hammerdwarf, Sheriff, Royal Guard
Navel Ranks = Recruit, Marksdwarf, Siege Operator, Captain of the Guard, Champion

(names subject to change without notice)

I'm in the top 200?! :o
Nowai. I don't think that's ever happened on a forum, even ones where I was an early member.

hen the Ganados had names that actually gave them character and a little personality like "Dr. Salvador", "J.J.", and "Miguel".
How do those names give anyone personality by themselves? I know scores of Miguels and JJs, and no less than THREE Dr Salvadors
He's saying that giving each model of Ganado a name is better than having everyone be "generic majini 256a".

Sorry for the delay folks, minor technical difficulties on my end. I'll give you the Quicknotes version:

Yuri: Dude, it's cool, we just wanted to help.
Paulo: Dude, like, it's part of Nova Nacion culture to, like, reward those who help you. Take it, man.
Yuri: (...)

tl;dr, Paulo still wants us to take the money. Yes or no?

I never got to play the older REs, but I found RE4 to be fun enough. Nothing like the thrill of hearing a chainsaw rev up right behind you as not-Spaniards attack from the front :D

I'm also interested in Outbreak after watching the Media Cows play through a few levels. Looks like it'd be fun to play with a few friends.
Outbreak was awesome just said it was only on ps2 and got crap for multi support. RE4 by far was the last best game in the series.
Er, crap. I meant Operation: Raccoon City. The new one that just came out on Steam recently (and was on the PS3 I think, before that). My bad.

Thought of this earlier, while cleaning dishes (I do some of my oddest thinking in the kitchen, it seems).

Take the characters from Mass Effect. Stick them in a high school. Emphasis the relationship aspects. You have the Mass Effect dating sim. The personalities and backgrounds would change slightly to fit the new theme:

Ashley becomes the tomboyish childhood friend.
Kaiden is the laid-back guy with a tragic past.
Joker is the class clown (uses a wheelchair or crutches to get around).
Wrex is the school bully, though not evil or malicious.
Garrus is a wannabe bad boy. Possibly hangs out with Wrex.
Tali is a shrinking violet, at least at first.
Liara is also shy, and of course is bi-curious.
Anderson is one of the teachers, possibly home room. Cool older guy who offers advice.
Udina is the principal.
Miranda is the rich bitch (there's one in every high school drama, after all).
etc, etc.

Like I said, totally weird idea, but now I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of fan project like this :P
If Tali would've been purple instead of white. So would want this... No spacesuit and a skirt. FUck yeah D:
Nah, she would stay in her suit. She's still a quarian, after all.

Fruit is awesome. Maybe not mixed fruit so much (especially when mixed together with that corn syrup stuff), but individually they can make just about any flavor you can imagine. Gimme an hour, and I might be able to give a complete list of every fruit I like :P

Anyway, we were supposed to have some sea bass tonight for dinner. Sadly, it wasn't thawed all the way. So we had grilled cheese sandwiches and oven fries instead. While those were tasty, I still wanted that fish.

Finally beat MW2 on Veteran difficulty. I died a truly ridiculous number of times and overcome some horribly placed autosaves (such as one time the the game decided to save just as a flashbang went off in my face as enemies moved in from two directions...good times), but I made it without using any cheats or guides or whatever.

Then I uninstalled it to make room on the hard drive :P
Next up: Dragon Age!
