I always wanted to ask this and always forgot it, because always when I think about it, I'm not on the computer. :)

 

I would love to visit Schottland and/or Ireland and I wonder what the best places would be. I don't really care for big cities (do they exist in Schot/Ire hehe) and I prefere landscape and that stuff which these countries are know for anyway. And since I have three kids, I can't afford to go on a big hotel. Also I prefer a more rural stay anyway, a farm or a small inn or such with a local atmosphere instead of sweiming pool, sauna and this stuff.

 

Any recommendations?

Oddity's house?

 

You might wanna keep an eye on the kids

What's that supposed to mean - you better have a good explaination. 'It was a joke' won't be accepted.

 

You really don't want to come here to Northern Ireland, it's a complete dump. There's nothing interesting to do or see here (alright, we have the giants causeway and the worlds oldest whisky distillery :rolleyes:) You'd very quickly get bored looking at scenery, it's all more or less the same here. I'd vote Scotland - far better scenery, more diverse and dramatic.

If you're going to go to Ireland, go to the Ring of Kerry. Lovely place. Don't go up North; damn Brits taking our land. Grrr...

 

I've made you a chart:

 

Ireland: Bad Weather; nice scenery; pubs.

 

Wales: Bad weather; nice scenery; castles.

 

Scotland: Bad weather; nice scenery; slim chance of spotting mystical beast.

Unfortunatey no, I'm far too generous to be a scotsman.

The Scots and Welsh are just as pissed off about the English taking their lands, but they haven't had the balls to fight for in in centuries.

So if you want to see some spunk, Northern Ireland is the best place. I'll start collectiing mine from today, just in case.

We invaded England in 1405. :P

 

But we're still fighting through political means. Killing Englishmen became old hat years ago. In my experience they just don't understand the damage they've caused, and so don't really deserve to be shot. ;)

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
