Hmm ... I've had another idea for my story, but I thought I'd run it by you: For the purposes of the story, my LN Sphinx has to shapechange into a human, so she can go into a nearby town, do some research, talk to priests etc. (Obviously that would draw attention, but oh well). I looked into the MM,...

... when ... um ... this is not the Sierra thread! But when you start wondering what happened to the olde-style graphics.

You know you've played too much Heroes of Might and Magic III (which I found on GOG recently) when ...

... you expect pigs to be tiny, little, pink, cutesy things, so you go to a pig farm. And get a biiig surprise. And an even bigger one when they want to pose for photos with you. (Everyone's a ham. *pig squeals angrily* Sorry)

You know you've played too much Police Quest 3 when...

Are you a granola bar?

Are you Fflewddur Fflam?

... become a pig farmer and have to take care of real pigs for the next three months. (I've never been one, but I'm sure it's no fun. For a start, real pigs are not cutesy or pink but huge, bristled, scary, brown-grey things. They're intelligent and (obviously) smelly. And they eat like pigs). ;) Le...

:lol: I love that expression, "weak sauce". ;) Playing devil's advocate for a moment, I can only assume that the lawyer may have read about August Derleth (the man who first published the writings of H.

And following up from that -- here's a message from last March, but it's a good message and even more relevant now. (Besides, I just saw it on Twitter and thought I'd share).

From Max and Mel Brooks

I thought of guessing Taran, but then I thought -- nah, too obvious.

OK. Thank you, Notbobsmith, DPX and Tawmis!

Hmm, I've heard of Michael Moorcock's connection to TSR, but didn't know about that. Thanks, Tawm. :) As for this ... The Mind Flayer Murders In 1987, a young man named Daniel Kasten killed his adoptive parents over fears that they would disown him due to his poor grades in college. The original rep...

But Herodotus (the Greek historian, and known as "the father of history") also mentions giant ants in his Histories . According to him, they apparently exist in India and dig up gold during the hot noon hours. They leave it there, and you can snatch some up, provided you are quick enough to escape ...

Hmm. Since the CIA works in intelligence (i.e. spying), wouldn't they also work in counter-intelligence (i.e. stopping spies)? Or is that the FBI's role?

Huzzah, I win! Because ... I don't know this game either. Drat!

Does your surname start with B?

Oh. Long before my time, I'm afraid ... I wouldn't have had a PC for another 4 years, or the means to buy games (on my own) for another 12.

Are you human (or humanoid)?
