My mind is saying me that kilogram of feather can be still stucked into one cubic centimeter and kilogram of iron can be still served like thousands of one gram iron leafs.

True. This is an old rebus, from time of Ancient Greece and even before. And the point was.. (You know that I know that you know or you don't know that I know than you know. Or if I don't know whatever the other know?)

Yes I was talking about that HC Alignments thread. It was something regarding getting off-topic and the like, I can't believe it grew to those proportions.

Don't want to think about that anymore...

Now about that iron vs feather, yes actually now I see that if they both weight one kilo than they have the same weight. I don't know about their mass though (is it different between those two if they both weight the same?)

Great, now I had another annoying problem... I tried to help Elvin to make random playing in his Duel Map he designed for H5 and there was a weird bug only happening in multiplayer (not in Hot-Seat)

After one frustrating hour I found out the problem in one .xdb file, and it was so easy to do that I feel so stupid and annoyed on the whole thing now. I sooooo hate illogical bugs. :disagree:

The second annoying thing is the fact that for some reason an area I designed in the NWN tileset doesn't show properly in game. :| I'm getting frustrated over it

This is definitely one of the bad and unlucky days of my life...

I had a similar problem with one of my NWN areas. It was just me forgetting to add some form of light to the area, and not noticing the display I had set up in the tool set. It didn't take too long to figure out, but it did take a few times for me to remember to do something about it after a few tests.

Could be about the lights as you said, some tiles are simply completely black for some reason.


On another note it seems we won't have Nival developing H6 anymore. Chuckles made the following post in ubi forum:
While I still think Nival should be kept on now that they've gotten a handle on the Heroes series, apparently "somebody else" doesn't feel the same way. *waves bye to Nival*

Hey at least the result was worth it :) Shame that you had to waste so much time over a damn bug but I guess we've all been there. Appreciated either way.

Sure it was worth it, I just blame myself for not figuring out before :D

Oh and I'm pretty used to that by now. A lot of times I encounter nasty bugs which make me frustrated but eventually I either solve them or figure a way to avoid them (and no I'm not talking about H5 here btw)

It's just that everything bad had to happen yesterday: that H5 bug, the NWN toolset annoying me (a lot more than the H5 bug), and on top of that there had to be that stupid argue over off-topicness as well. Definitely it was one of the unlucky days I guess...

Well, I played the World of Goo demo and I was bored to death. It's a matter of taste I guess, or maybe I didn't get far enough.

Really? It's been rated so highly in reviews... where can I play the demo?

I went to Tetris.com and played.

I got to level 12. 116 lines. 3 tetrises. 101,835 points. I always did suck at that game.

Been watching The Shield since about 8 this morning (it's now 14:17), but ran out of episodes. More in the mail, but for now I'm bored :bored:
