This one is in the Cave of Transcendence Trial (damn how bad did I butcher that, its been a few years since I've done it.) IIRC its Oliver Lindenbrook's or Arne Saknussem's backpack and notes from "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

Thanks Angry as the grognards pass I am one step closer to being the "old man" in the game. Ultimately I plan to be the last guy out the room when they shut off the lights!

Arno Stone never wanted to be a hero, but all that changed the day his wife was killed in the the brutal crossfire between The Freakshow and Crey's Paragon Protectors (Arno would later learn the event had been staged by Crey as apublicity stunt). Grief stricken, Arno used his creative genius and the resources of his company; Advanced Cybernetics And Dynamics Industrial (ACADI) to fashion a powered exoskeleton and take to the streets of Paragon City in an effort prevent what happened to his wife. After finding out the truth, Arno instead went for revenge and ulitmately ended up defeating the countess and having her imprisioned. Ultmiately Arno realized no measure of revenge could bring back his dear wife so instead Arno works to make Paragon City and the world a better, safer place.
Lucas Ritter was an orphan on the mean streets of King's Row by the age of 13, his father an abusive supradine addict who was murdered in a bad dine deal andf his mother died shortly after crawling inside a bottle. Lucas might have ended up like either of his parents had in not been for the intervention of the Night Fox who took the young Ritter under his tutelage. As Night Fox's sidekick, Lucas learned there was more to life than beng a young tough working for the very same people who had murdered his father. After Night Fox retired, Lucas assumed the persona of Nachtgiest and now watches over Kings Row in an effort to put an end to the very same elements which destroyed his parents.
Thats tow off the top of my head. -

It dates from the times of mounted soldiers. Everyone fought to the right of them and passed on the left. For some reason though, you lot moved to the other side of the road, making it easier to chop your heads off.

Quote:Funny how that works out, the US tends to win the battles but loses the wars. An unfortunate consequence of letting politicians and the public tell the military when and how to conduct thier job, but I guess it works to an extent given that the only real attacks on US soil are by what amounts to religous whack jobs.Originally Posted by Incan
English : stop being jealous of us because you live in a small country rainy OK? You look ... embittered.
Americans : we lost a war against Germany. In recent years you have lost against Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. You should not laugh imo.
--->edit<--- in recent times of course, I'm sure just like every other nation on the planet with a vested interest in the patch of soil they call home, we arew capable of "winning" a war --->edit<--- -

Quote:Big names for equally big cars! I think my favorite name for a car is the Cadillac Brougham. The majority of people I run into call it a Cadillac Bro-Ham (LMAO) rather than Cadillac Brom. The next most mispronounced car I hear would be a Mercury Grand Marquis, people often pronounce Mark-KEYsssss. Now that I think about it, thats probably why you see so many MK-XXXX cars out there.Originally Posted by Hemily
roman numbers are used on cars actually..
Vw Golf MKI, MKII, MKIII, MKIV and so forth...
even on american ones, Lincoln Continental Mark IV for example
my own car kinda confused me at the beginning though... being european and having bought american
Buick Century Estate Wagon...
double the wagon? it's both an Estate, and a Wagon? why not just a stationwagon? -
Quote:What is with that, I've often wondered if there was an advantage to having the placement of the controls on the left or right of the vehicle? Or was it simply a nod to some sort of tradtion?Originally Posted by Scarlet_Shocker

Quote:Man, who said horsepowers? See thats what happens when some pop culture game like Dungeons & Dragons goes and simplifies the lingo. ITS DROW (rhymes with NOW) damnit! Signular and plural, but oh no, somewhere along 3rd and 4th ED they just had to change it.Originally Posted by Zhanate
Maths?
No, no, no, "math" doesn't take an s.
Oh, and while I'm here: neither does "horsepower".
BTW Jeremy Clarkson, you can shove it up your butt! GT500's do INDEED produce 500 HORSEPOWER! and for MY'10 its 540!
ohhhh...ummm....yeah. A little to much coffee maybe... -
Quote:Only 'cause the frigg'n can is extra sized and they wanna emulate Paul Hogan! Sadly most folks (well kids in the US - I started drinking at 15) intro to beer is Buttwiper (easy to get like Milwaukee's Beast, Natty Ice, etc - my neighbor's dad worked at the brewery and had a full pallet of the stuff sitting around all the time) and you either get a taste for it or right around 21ish (when you can legally sample everything under the sun as is the proper rite of passage for a young male in the US) you move on to much better stuff.Originally Posted by Prof_Backfire
I didn't know Americans had good root beer.
Spose they've gotta make up for their regular beer being terrible. You guys actually drink Foster's for chrissake!
How 'bout this one; Panama Cerveza, yeah straight from central america and enough damn yeast to bake a loaf of bread right out the bottle
Marmite is good stuff (I haven't been able to find vegemite), spread it sparringly on some buttered bread and give it a whirl. My brother doesn't care for it (he says it taste like gooey soy sauce) other than adding it to soups, chili, SOS, ect.Quote:Originally Posted by Lady_Athyna
Probably a stupid question but this thread stirred my curiosity and I had to check at the grocery store. The one I usually go to has an aisle dedicated to several other regions and countries. There's Mexican, Italian, Jewish/Kosher and... *drumroll* a British section. So I looked. And yeah, there's a Lyon Bar and Marmite and a bunch of other interesting looking things and now I have to know.
What the heck is that!?!?!
I wish there was a real international/gourmet market around my AO; there's a sizable asian and latin community around here and you can buy those items pretty easily, but mediterranean (easily my favorite - I'm gonna lump arab, jewish, turkish, ect food here - no offense inteneded to the repsective parties but I like food from just about every bit of land that touches the sea in the region) food is hard to come by
as well as Indian. We also have a smattering of carribbean here. Italian is also well represented, however I suspect its not the best you could get.

Beers: Bass, Boddington's & Newcastle for my staples... Guinness as an occasional treat when we go somewhere that has it on tap. Not a big fan of any IPA's or Pilsners. For Homegrown US beer, I like Rogue Ales.

To be fair on this one, they can use either if they're trying to send me money - I won't even be fussy if they use US billions/trillions rather than good old British ones!
Interstingly one of Ira...err Lord Recluse's plans to destroy Paragon City involves flooding the market with cheap oil backed by eur...err infamy rather than doll... I mean Influence.
Nothing political here MOD8, no sir, just speculating on an I16 story arc rumor ;P
