The ignore fucntion is infinitely preferable to "Report" buttons and overzealous moderators and their often arbitrary rulings.

Nice edit there, JewFrank.

I challenge you, and everyone else here.
This looks more like attention craving than an actual challenge. But I already gave you two posts and I've read one of your "write-ups" in full. I challenge you to cool down and stop acting you're Cleve. Cleve at least made something, you made nothing. Cleve was funny, you're not.

I'm done discussing you in a thread about a game you have nothing to do with.

Except there aren't any overzealous moderators on the Codex.

I don't know Cleve. Also, newsflash: no one posting in this thread has anything to do with the creation of commercial RPGs (I don't think VaultDweller has posted yet).

JarlFrank you should retardo this thread.

I will start a new one later. With a better opening post - a super fun and interesting write-up about Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn!
It will have a wit and brevity, and no watermaks on pictures!

I'm quite serious right now.

Plane tickets, bitch...

I wonder why you guys are wasting your time with a woman whose only accomplishment in life was to write silly, bloated articles on video games and gloat about it on the 'Dex :lol: . She’s a woman. You shouldn’t expect much, logic and reason in the least. Let her write her... monocled write-ups in her kitchen.

One image out of the many hundreds in my IE coverage has a watermark. One. You are crying because you wanted to rip it and pass it off as your own.

You'll probably need to reference my blog in order to write it. :smug:

You only got into NWN because of me. :smug:

BG2 had some of the most beautiful backdrops of the time and thus they still hold up today.

And who has given them treatment other than yours truly: Aesthetic Appreciation of BG2.

I don't know what you'd have to be smoking to say that it doesn't age well.

No one said BG2 backdrops haven't aged well.

Sure the character sprites are a bit dated but still are good enough. The character portraits are still very good for today. Spell animations were ahead of their time and still ok for today.

No one has said otherwise.

Just referencing that guy that said his friend played and didn't like the graphics, which sparked off the retarded debate :D

I've done zero research but from memory I think you'd be hard pressed to put games of the era above BG2 for overall graphics when you encompass those backdrops.

A little more on the slimeball known as felipepe: not only does he get his minions to spam his cRPG Book from reddit to the English Amiga Board, but he openly sucks up to Codex and RPGWatch adminstrators in order to get them on-side with his cRPG Book, whereas I challenge communities from reddit to the 'Dex, and wrote off the RPGWatch to their face, despite them featuring my articles in their newscasts.

What?! BG beats Fallout handily in terms of graphics especially the environment and they still look good to me to this day.

Agree. Fallout looks good until you realize the graphics start repeating themselves quite often.

Some Ignored me first, so there's no use replying to their posts. Mostly shit posters, though, some of them literally.
If some posters bother me with their posts, I think it's better to just Ignore them than to bother the mods or engage in flame wars.
