It would seem the recent announce of <b>Neverwinter Nights 2</b> has made the <A href="http://www.obsidianent.com/forums">forums</a> over at <a href="http://www.obsidianent.com/">Obsidian Entertainment</a> fold like a cheap lawn chair under the weight of the traffic. Here's what the page currently says:

<b>Feargus</b> got game!

Heh. That happened AGAIN? Feargus was all excuses for it having been down - and claimed it would now be able to take the heat. And it was up for ONE freaking day? 'grats guys - you should ask BIO what kind of bandwidth you'd need, seeing you're pallies andall.

 

[Whipporowill]

BTW Saint, it's up again. It might be kneeling, but it sure ain't dead...

 

[Reklar]

Okay, that has to be the funniest things I've ever seen at the Codex. Role-Player gots l33t PhotoShop skillz! :D By the way, I hate to ask, but since I've never seen a picture of either fella, which one is Feargus?

Obviously, Feargie is the one about to do the SLAM DUNK! :D

Love it, RP--but why didn't ya mirror Dave's head?

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

I eventually did, today. The correct image is already uploaded, so if Saint wants, he can update it.

 

[Dgaider]

Heh...

That is awesome. I love it.

(Quite the snazzy suit, too.)

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Its good to know you weren't offended or anything, Dave

Though i find Feargie's silence to be... disturbing.

 

[Volourn]

Dave is just a lowly designer/writer; Feargus is a Big Bad Boss tm. Plus Mr. U is busy kissing BIO's BBGs behinds.

In other words, he has other things to do. LOL :D

I dunno, his mirrored head just seems.. Funnier.. More cocky or something.. And he's not even acknowledging Feargus showing off, which is GOLD.

 

[Reklar]

DaveG has always had a decent sense of humor from what I've seen so I can respect him for that, but I'm not so sure about Feargus. I think it's because Canadians are generally more easygoing than Californicators. Must be all that sunshine and the forestfires that dry up their sense of humor. :D

That's a good way of looking at it :D

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Gotta admit,RP, you got mad skillz!

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

To be honest i don't think it was that good. It was done in a rushed way (the first image clearly shows this, with a white Feargie having black arms). It was actually a slam dunk: i simply reutilized already existing assets, made some changes, and produced a well liked end result

But i appreciate the comments, nonetheless, although i think i can do much better.

 

[Reklar]

Yeah, but it was all in the timing, Role-Player. Style and timing is what brings your work glory in this fast-paced news-byte forum. :D
