I once had a teacher with the same expression once I had done something she had instructed me not to do!

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Two Worlds III

It was supposed to be released in 2012 and was confirmed, but never came to be. Surely I'm not missing something and just can't find it. I know that Lucas Arts used to suddenly release games without having advertised them. The games just suddenly were for sale.

I'm using Firefox with Bing, instead of IE with Bing. Upon loading this page, the video is blank and it says I need a plugin. I've installed Quicktime for Firefox. What plugin do I actually need? However, I can view the video by using the steam link.

Figured it out ! Don't do Pirates Don't Cry right away. After getting two new quests Casqet of Embers and Needle In A Haystack, do Casqet of Embers, then Pirates Don't Cry. Lastly, do Needle In A Haystack (after demonstrating the bomb to Cutter and finding apparatus in cave, teleport to Wandering Wrath, speak with Billy and get challenged to a couple of games of dice.
Apparently, after doing Pirates don't cry, then Needle In A Haystack, enough time has passed for Billy to have visited his new date, which by the way happens to be the brother of the woman Marren!!!

The first time I ever played Pirates of the flying fortress, I got to the point where Billy Bugeyes challenged me to a game of dice. That was months ago. Now, he doesn't challenge me. I wonder if anyone has the exact method leading to this dice challenge.
It supposedly is triggered after doing the quests "Needle in the hay" and "Pirates don't cry". Maybe I'm taking too long. All Billy wants is for me to play matchmaker for him.

Figured out the problem. Got brand new unused TW2 and POTFF, registered them properly online. Map jumping just fine now, even in Windows 7 64 bit. Not registering online kills the map/jump function.

Lynda Carter sent me autographed photos of herself as Wonder Woman. I was absolutely on "Cloud NINE" for several days. And, of course, those photos are on my living room wall.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / What about the older generation?
« on: October 02, 2015, 11:54:43 AM »
The Old, the Wise, and the Culture of Aging September, 2015
We call them the elderly but not the elders. Growing older in this culture is an interesting and challenging experience. And growing older is ultimately what we all want to do. After all, what’s the alternative? It seems that there are no specific rules on how to go about this process. The culture tells us that when you reach a certain age (anywhere from 55-65), you can go play shuffleboard or visit McDonald’s and get a cheaper coffee. When it is decided that you are no longer capable, willing, or needy enough to participate in the daily hunt of “making a living,” then you may RETIRE.
Recent studies indicate that those who are turning 60 may be eligible for another 20+ years as our life span continues to expand. In many cultures those who are aging become the elders; but in this culture we just have “old” people. You would think that the culture would honor or reserve a special place for those who survive 6, 7, 8, or even 9 decades. But all we keep getting are discounts and reduced rates at restaurants, hotels, resorts, etc. And that’s okay. But it seems that we’re losing the one thing so difficult to attain – and that is wisdom.
There’s plenty of knowledge out there – plenty of people who know. But where are the wise elders who are sought after for counsel? What rites of passage have been established to reach this position? Why is this one commodity discounted? Where are the elders? And how do we find them? We need to listen to their stories and pay attention to their counsel. We need their wisdom.
Our current lifestyle has recently been diagnosed with attention deficit. We fritter from one thing to the next in a matter of heartbeats with little concentration and much distraction. The visual stimulus in our culture is overwhelming. We are constantly bombarded with a steady barrage of advertising, news, sports, commentators, and events of little value. And we are slowly becoming a population of lemmings. As a people, we have grown tired of the steady mindless chatter telling us what is or is not important. We need a rebirth and a renaissance. And the irony is, just maybe that can be found in the aging population ~ the one group that is slowly discarded and discounted as they grow older. Perhaps the answer to many of our dilemmas and lack of inspiring leadership can come directly from this source. Maybe we will begin to look at this group as our elders rather than old people, or we can somehow stop referring to them as “retired,” “old” or “disabled.” Perhaps we can remove all of the labels of limitation that we have cast on them and give them the respect and honor they have earned. We need their wisdom ~ and we need it now.
Is there a rightful place for the aged? For those who draw closer to the edge of the mystery? Is there any value to their lives, their stories, and their counsel? Can we find the wisdom from their own personal dramas and life stories that can somehow enrich and sustain us for the future as we rapidly become that same population? To be able to look beyond the form ~ the wrinkles, the thin, graying hair, the stooped shoulders, or the cane – and find the essence of the meaning of each life. Perhaps that is wisdom in itself.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Two Worlds II
« on: September 30, 2015, 04:47:04 PM »
I put KOAR on hold and reinstalled TW2+Pirates of The Flying Fortress. In game, if you look straight down at your feet, open the cheat console and type in Display.show 1, you see true coordinates while holding down the Shift key.It also shows the current map and area you're in. It's supposed to be possible to type in any jump map name and hit enter to jump to that map area. However, it doesn't work. I thought previously I could jump to any map. Now it doesn't work, or does it? it's just that I don't remember how.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Kingdoms of Amalur
« on: August 30, 2015, 07:36:54 AM »
Why didn't someone create a way to get rid of the fog of war and enable all locations?
In Witcher 3, someone created a debug enabler. Two of the options showed all fast
travel locations and you can fast travel from anywhere, no need for a FT sign.
For Kingdoms of amalur, Someone created a mod to make the game enemies much more difficult, but that is simply insane.
There's a trainer to mark your location, then you go somewhere else and can teleport back to the marked location. That is totally useless.
There just has to be a way to reveal all the map and fast travel to any revealed location without previously spending a lifetime discovering all areas.
*There is a limited save game editor; no names of items, just addresses for weapons and armor and can't really tell what is being edited.
*There's a screen enhancer to bring out detail and coloring.
**There's a game save with super character and stats, for legend of dead kell dlc, after everything else has been done. The files are at ga**pr*s**r*
*Numerous trainers, but nothing available for fog of war or fast travel.
The limited item editor is attached;

I have played the 1.1 download from Infamous Quests and also experienced the crash after talking in the bar, but not always with the same character. Seems to be mostly with the characters on the right side of the screen.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Playing Rhem 2 in Windows 7 64 bit
« on: May 16, 2015, 09:17:22 PM »
The game does really well, but I can't find the save files anywhere on the HD. I copied the entire game folder and pasted it on a pc running Win XP 32 bit, the saves didn't go with it, proving the save files are hidden somewhere in the win 7 64 bit hd. In win 7 64 bit, even the game directory has no save files, yet I can restore them.
On the XP 32 bit machine, the save files are found in the dpot directory. Anyone have an idea why the save files can't be found on the win 7 64 bit machine. I even have the show hidden directories option enabled.
>
Finally found the save location for Rhem 2 in win 7 64 bit. with view hidden files/folders, here's where I found them:
\\GEORGE-PC\Users\George\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Rhem2_E\DATA\DPOT
The George-PC was hidden.
