...for the next 8 days I've got my work cut out for me so I won't be around.
What with levelling up my character to lvl 35 on Legend of Mir (the ultimate level, my character then gets all his skills to use, which is a GOOD thing, it means I can kill lots of people who've been annoying over the last 3 months), Burnout to finish, all the cars still to find on Gran Turismo 3, Final Fantasy IX to complete (nearly there, just 3 discs to go) and all the packages to find on Grand Theft Auto 3 (determined not to look it up in a walkthrough), I thought I had all of the above covered.
But then today, to my ABSOLUTE JOY, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for the PS2 was handed to me by my postie at 8:20am. If you've had a GAD come through the post you'll know the feeling, 'great' doesn't even come close, 'ecstatic' is warm, but jumping around the hallway and scaring your cat into bolting back up the stairs is pretty close to describe what it's like to have that off-white jiffybag arrive at your house. (The cat has calmed down a bit now although his fur is still standing up, he looks like a toilet brush with attitude).
As I wasn't really expecting Baldur's Gate to arrive this side of Christmas, I'm now inundated with gameplay and I'm eager to get cracking on with it. Which means that although I may pop my head into a thread now and again over the next 8 days, the chances are slim. I've got to get this lot finished before MGS2 is released or else I'm in danger of exploding.
So Merry Christmas to ALL posters past, present, JATs, newbies and any future posters over the Christmas period, and of course to the Special Reserve staff help to who make these forums and this site the place they have become today.
I'm off to the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms, catch you later and don't eat all the turkey.

Don't forget to eat the turkey of Sqwangmingefwap that the Orc-Lord of Fiddlynips will bring on the 25th.
And make sure you dont trip on that massive RPG beard.
