Not that many from this particular game, I don't

Quote:

"Yulp - Gulp!"

What I myself find a wee amusing about that play on words, is rather that he gives the gulp sound 'cus he's drinking a potion, but could might as well give the gulp sound 'cus all his mates are death, and he's badly wounded (the only reason as to why I ever managed to kill daveron was a lucky critical hit

).

Shrikant · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 1:47pm

I'm sure that 10 foot pole comment screen has been posted before & I don't think they were comparing Quater Staff sizes

I think I remember something about loin-cloth in Hot-Shots but I may be

Arifirh · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 3:46pm

I thought the being sent to the Abyss with just a loincloth and a dagger was more of a Torment reference...

Felinoid · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 3:48pm

Well, there's the "ten-foot rusty halberd" response to Portalbendarwinden back in BG1, but past that...

kuemper · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 3:59pm

To get out of the gaming world, I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole is an old saying. Since we're all correct, I say we split the 5 points amongst us. Arifirh gets 2, Felinoid gets 2 and I get 1. Fair?

Klorox · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 4:09pm

That's the reference? Ok, I just took the 10' pole thing in stride. LOL

How about this quote, "I wouldn't touch that with a ten meter cattleprod."

Harbourboy · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 4:27pm

Ah, the good old ten foot pole. No adventurer should be without it.

The Magpie · Sat, 19th Nov '05, 5:03pm

Well, I took it as a Torment reference (and there are loads in IWD2), so I'd give Arifirh the points... But it was Tal's choice of caption, so I don't really have the authority. And far be it from me to disturb the status quo*.

I would have preferred: "Well, Baator was a piece of cake, so I don't know what you're worrying about..." as Torment sent you to Baator, not the Abyss. You could send your enemies to the Abyss, though, with the aid of the 9th-level spell Abyssal Fury, which was most entertaining.

* Indeed, if one were to disturb Status Quo, they might awaken from their after-dinner naps. And if that happens they might start recording music again...

Best to let sleeping dad-rockers lie, methinks...

Hehe. Didn't they reform earlier this year?

Taluntain · Sun, 20th Nov '05, 2:35am

Arifirh gets the cookie. And I've looked through the SoTW archives and didn't see that one posted before, though I could have missed it.

Thais Paradox · Sun, 20th Nov '05, 12:05pm

Funny - I always thought it as a reference to the 'wife' line. Guess I'm just twisted

Arifirh · Sun, 20th Nov '05, 1:39pm

Ooh, a cookie...

Thanks Tal

And the Abyss was indeed one of the few places TNO didn't get sent to - it must be on his list of things to do when he's done with the Blood War. Visit Grace's mum.

Celesialraven · Thu, 24th Nov '05, 7:44am

"Where's Venger?"

... Alright, i may just be dense, but i don't get it. And why are some of their helmets on the ground?

Colthrun · Thu, 24th Nov '05, 9:04am

The pic is based on the DnD cartoon from the 80's:
Check here: http://www.zaksrealm.net/The_Realm.html

(if you never saw this, you had no childhood

)

Basically it was about six friends who were swallowed into another dimension, where a gnome wizard (called the Dungeon Master) gives them powers (aka classes) to fight evil.

Venger was the main bad guy in the series. If you have played BG2, you can see the pictures of the archer and the barbarian at the back of Ribald's shop.

Shrikant · Thu, 24th Nov '05, 9:06am

Oh!

I thought it was the D&D version of Arsnel

Taluntain · Thu, 24th Nov '05, 11:21pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon...ragons_cartoon

Good summary.

Ofelix · Thu, 24th Nov '05, 11:32pm

Ohhh so now I can finaly understand the joke. Okay...

Klorox · Fri, 25th Nov '05, 11:55am

I got it right away.

Loved that show!

el timtor · Fri, 25th Nov '05, 10:26pm

That used to be my favorite Saturday morning cartoon.

Where's the mega-annoying little unicorn?

Harbourboy · Fri, 25th Nov '05, 10:29pm

Where exactly is this screen shot from though? The D&D cartoon picture in the Adventurers' Mart is the single coolest thing in BGII.

Taluntain · Sat, 26th Nov '05, 12:55am

It's a module screenshot. The module was made with the NWN toolset. It's not from the original game or the expansions.

Shrikant · Sun, 27th Nov '05, 1:11pm

I've seen it recently. Fairly annoying considering the other anime series on. Few people know of D&D here even now, no wonder it took 20 years for that show to cross the oceans.

Felinoid · Wed, 30th Nov '05, 9:50pm

I can just imagine him saying that to Xzar; he would bite him!

Shrikant · Thu, 1st Dec '05, 10:53am

That is way too funny, even going by Korgan's normal irritation with his co-adventurers. Edwin, bite me

By the way, is that Valen in the second slot?

Dendri · Thu, 1st Dec '05, 11:44am

Yes, that's Valen. And you just got to admire Wesley's appreciation for subtleties for giving this portrait to such a character.

Ah, the melancholy of a darkened soul...
