[Quiet Man Cometh]

I looked up the Bioware, Black Isle thing but I can't remember it. I think Black Isle was a distibuter, like how Lions Gate Cinema distributed movies while they were actually made my Miramax. The distributor gets the credit often because they are the ones providing the game/movie to the public.

I've played the two Baldur's Gates and Icewind Dale. Alas, viruses killed the computers I was playing on and lost both of my ID and BG1 saves, which I'm still sore about, and now my ID disk won't work anymore.

I played BG2 multiplayer with my friend and brother. It was great. We each had two characters, one of which was an import so we had three children of Bhaal running around, though only my brother's was considered the main character. Was fun. It made exploring stuff really easy when we quit sticking together all the time. We did have a small problem though, with my brother always wanting to explore all the rooms (he was a sorcerer) all the time and not waiting for myself (healer tank) and my friend (healer tank) to get there. In the graveyard are we would see him run into a building and then come running back out with however many giant spectre ghosts after him. Got a little annoying at times. He and my friend would also occasionally spell each other, trying to trick each other into thinking something was going on (like raising a skeleton from the ground behind one another).

We had one amusing incident. While in a room with piles of mummies we kept getting level drained, which wouldn't be that big a deal if the cleric (my friend) wasn't also drained the levels he needed to cast the spell to fix it. After attempting repeadly we only fared our best yet but still had the same issue with the cleric. We were about to reload when things when something like this:

Friend: dammit! I'm level drained again.
Brother: I got a cure for level drain. FIREBALL! *roasts cleric*
Friend: aaah! I'll get you..
Me: no wait! That works! I can raise dead! If we kill him than it will get rid of his level drain and I can raise him back to normal again!
Guys: really?
Me: yeah! Kill him!
Brother: whooooo!
Friend: dammit! Dont' steal my stuff!

Fun fun :D
