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:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>Our Forums are Down for a Bit!</b>
<br>
<br>
Due to the overwhelming response regarding the Neverwinter Nights 2 announcement, our forums are temporarily down as we move to beefier servers. Please check back with us soon!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 :lol:

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

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
