Hey, there, BK. Long time, no see. Don't be such a stranger. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Leiden? If Im not entirely mistaken... me and 3 pals were there on our 2-week European "car excursion" - I'm struggling to find an appropriate name for that madness - less than a month ago. I was living in Kiel from March till August, and the guys and gals joined me from all over the world. Or isn't Leiden somewhere close to Den Haag? We were there too, and briefly in Utrecht and Amsterdam.

Why I write this... we spent the night in our car in some parking lot in Leiden in the middle of a forest. There were some immature kids racing around almost the whole night driving the same silly circle from this parking place to another, stopping now and then. Let me guess, this is some new trend? Like, those places serve as meeting places for... >insert something here<

Sounds familiar?

Parking lot in a forest? That doesm't sound familiar, but Leiden is indeed close to the Hague (Den Haag). Of course, it could be a parking lot I haven't been to before. A gay meeting area or something

Heh... the Gap does that all the time. I only buy jeans there, and for some reason, the price tag on the jeans themselves is always less than what they actually cost...

Ah, shoot, I just sprayed pop all over my keyboard... lovely.

On a sidenote, i'm off to a reunion tomorrow of my old crew of footballsupporters, there should be worth a 1000 years of prisonsentences present there. It's gonna be so much fun seeing all those long forgotten faces again, digging up old combatstories and stuff. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I'm really curious how everyone from the old days are doing right now, i've lost track of most of them when i moved to Utrecht 10 years ago. Some of em are killed, some in prison, but i guess i'll find out all about it tomorrownight, it should be fun.

I think I can hear the bell ringing... Gay meeting area...

There were a few, it was smaller road next to a highway and lead nowhere, really. We were looking for a camping area but at that time it became unnecessary. We left the madness before the sun had time to rise.

Well, I finished Pirates of the Sword Coast today, and whilst it was highly enjoyable right up until when I left the port/sea town and the Sandy Spit, I must say, I grew disappointed.

You could see what happened next from a mile away... and I was actually hoping to *play* captain and get to sail around to a few various places, or even fight a couple of ship battles of my own choosing. Maybe raid a couple of merchant vessels, loot a town - you know, piraty sort of stuff.
There was also a lack of romance, and the main 'villain', well... I never got to *talk* to her afterwards. I did both endings, and I decided I prefer to leave the ghost unavenged - it was more in character.
But aside from that, and being a tad too short for my tastes, it was highly enjoyable. I wonder if they'll make a sequal.

Incidently, has anyone tried out any other *good* mods? Either premium or single player.
Cheers in advance,

CD. ^^

Edit: I also wanted to eat Garm - who was a nice touch, btw - as was Poly the Parrot. Too bad I couldn't.
I'm actually somewhat surprised - I tried a new combination today - my bard(4)/pale master(2)/RDD(2) and it was quite effective! Especially given how quickly I could accquire the two PrC classes. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
