Rikard: I think Raistlin is telling us that having FINISHED a game of BG2 he is no longer a newbie (er, not that I think he was- hey *I* haven't finished one!)
We came we saw... refering to Julius Caesar's words : veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) and I am fuzzy on the context- been mucho many yrs since I had my Latin in High School. Possibly when he had taken Gaul. Thus our Raistlin is making a comparison of himself and Caesar. HEHEHE good one, Raistlin! |

I thought I saw those words on a football advert on Sky Box Office the other day?
Then again I watch a whole load of other crap, so I guess I'm just putting two and two together to make six again. |

Wow you folks are soooo deep. Vini Vidi Vici
C'mon really? I was thinking we came we saw we kicked his ass. I am not sure where it is from but when i hear it in my head with the other voices (the ones that tell me what to do) it sounds like John (maybe Jim) Belushi. So i am thinking possibly the movie Animal House. |

Bravo, Rikard! I knew it was a fuzzy memory!
My active Latin vocabulary is quite tiny these days and other than those few phrases all I can tell you is :buyer beware, time flies, the boy is in the forest, and the ever useful: Where is Gaul? LOL |
