Teacup Café XXXI

[The last sane person]

Heh, Oblivion is a PC (and now other console) game that Noble and I both play. It's pretty alright for a standard game, but other players like us have made our own additions to the game that make it better. Its called modding, or modification. Other intrepid players like ourselves post them on file sharing sites like Tesnexus (a site for Oblivion) and download other people's mods and upload our own.

Its a community effort, and it pays off quite nicely and allows people to update,, expand and add what they want to an already cool game. We also comment and critique each others mods.

You can add entirely new data and events/storylines/structures/people/you name it to the game. It is limited, really, by your own imagination. So far I am happy with my mods (mostly just retexturing [Ie redrawing in photoshop] armor to make it look better.) It's a fun way to waste time.

Okay... so... stuff I have no knowledge of how to do... ^^

Good for you though, I'm always rather in awe of people who can actually do things like that...

I can... um... bake...

[The last sane person]

And that is awesome. I worship your yummies. *bow*

Baking is far more practical than modding. I can't eat a mod....But I can make a mod that requires a player-character to eat!!

[Empress_Flynn]

Hehe... well, I've never been worshipped for baking bread before.... although my calzones have caused spontaneous bowing....

Well... I will gladly bake for all of the Teacup Cafe, it can be my contribution ^^

[Noble Elf Lord]

Gee, thanks, sane!! PM me, please. About the account, that is. Why can't I make myself plain? Oh, perhaps because I woke up at about 5:50, and had a school day after that. Early waking was due to the driving test.

[Empress_Flynn]

Speaking plainly is overrated.

It's so much more fun to be confusing

[Mari]

Noble, I got you beat on the early rising though
Gosh, I get so cranky when I have to get up while it's still dark outside

Today is cold. School was cold. Got home cold. Had warm dinner, but have cold hands again... >_<
It's a good day today though.

[Empress_Flynn]

It's cold in here at the moment too, Mari... got a blankie wrapped around me and some nice hot toast on the way ^^

[Noble Elf Lord]

Global warming is showing: we're having the most annoying weather around here. You get sweaty walking while wearing a coat or stuff, but then there's the cold wind. What happens? I catch cold! Also while in classrooms, we have to keep both windows and door open to decrease the temperature, even though it's a bloody autumn!! And it was very annoying today: during one class, we opened the door. Then our new headmaster walked past the door and shut it. Opened the door again. This time, my Swedish teacher walked past and shut it! Well, no matter.

[Mari]

Hehe, and we were like: "Close those bloody windows, it's cold in here!" In fact, all of us wore our coats because it really was very cold. Terribly old school building too.

I played it a bit when I visited my brother. I was pretty impressed. It looked like it basically retained all of the glories of Morrowind (absurdly rich, detailed, complex setting, with so much effort and ability expended into it as to make it almost believable, far more real than any other fantasy game I've played), and added a bunch of cool new features. I liked the changes to Persuasion and lockpicking quite a lot.

[Empress_Flynn]

Anyone want a glass of pineapple guava juice?

*sips happily*

[Grey_Wolf]

*The Alluding Monster steps out again to do his thing*

[Empress_Flynn]

And what exactly does the Alluding Monster do?

[Grey_Wolf]

He alludes to things he professes to know.

[Empress_Flynn]

So he's kin to the Philosophical Monster, eh?

Lemme know how that works for you.

Ah hem. I like you, Empress. You're pretty and witty, and pleasant natured, and I like your cultural slant.

But someone *cough Sis cough* does an awful lot of baking around here. Would you like a tour of the facilities?

He is the PM's second cousin on his father's side.

[Mari]

Uh oh, is this going to turn into a war of kitchen dominance? Might get interesting.
If you two want to fight it out, please fight it out in a bakingcontest... *drools*

[The last sane person]

Oh noes! Sis has competition! In the kitchen! Oh noes!!

Be careful Empress, she might dump you into a vat or something...



AHA! And I see Gwai is familiar with my PC poison of choice. It is an awesome game from the creators of Morrowind. I hated that you had no other mode of transportation in MW. It would take me half an hour to get to the starting or secondary point of the quest cause it took so farking long to walk there.
